I missed Leigh's 2nd run cos of the stripper pic you sent Tony.

Might be a good thing not to watch Leigh's fancy ford putting a better time than I did with the R.

Calder was pretty crap last night, got there at like 7 and only got 2 runs until 12.. (with a small dinner break).. around 300 cars there. First run was complete shait, left it in full auto performance mode with traction control off and span 1st 2nd 3rd off the line drifting next to the wall with a 2.7 60ft just let off.. 2nd run was a bit better 13.2 but hit limiter in 1st to 2nd which would of cost me that 12.

Until next time! will definitely be heathcote though. Less cars ftw. Probably enter in that tri battle thing - Ash you going??

Also met Grant down there in his R with a slipping clutch from looks of things :P

Mph?

Mph?

108 on the only half decent run, 92 cruisin my 17 sec quarter after I mc'royally f**ked the start

Just finished cleaning some of the rubber off the car, decent amount came off the tyres for just 2 2nd gear burnouts

I did 109.71 on my 2nd run.

Damn you and your fancy ford tongue.gif

Is that the tri-club battle thing? Might get my entry in soon. Hoping for a 115mph

Shouldn't be hard my GTR only had 233 rwkw at the time and couldnt go any faster than 111 cos of speed limiter lol.

Get your entry in brah I did mine today

Ye Calder in all honesty is NOT the place to go to test/tune. Really need to drive to Heathcote these days.

Calder is just toooooo busy :(

I'm waiting for Snowman to get back from Bali. If he says we are doing Mt Baw Baw Sprint - then I won't be...

If I don't do Baw Baw then 100% be @ drag challenge :)

Yeah, waited almost a hour for a run, and bikes get more runs than we do with cars...

Farkin this...there's that magic (or not so) age in your twenties where you just can't do it anymore lol. When I was at uni I could go out on a thursday night and be at uni the next day on 4 hours sleep. Anything less than 8 these days and I feel like ass!

The majority anyway, I know some my age that can happily pull all-nighters nearly every day of the week. I think I stopped being able to do that at about 22.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
