"Tourists heading for Greece are urged to take enough cash with them to last their entire stay as Athens announced banks would be closed Monday in a deepening financial crisis."

Maybe I should just paint a big target on my back while I'm at it..

what level of work you getting done? prices reasonable? what about (wait for it)... timeframe?

We are creating in his words a torque monster.

Prices are reasonable by the sounds of it. Timeframe ETA is about a month once they get the car, so using the workshop project multiplier, probably ~3 months. Barry isn't building the engine, just assembling, but there may be other issues I need to address such as clutch, diffs, gearbox etc. which would hold things up.

Excited :)

Lol, never gets old

Simultaneously the strangest and most normal thing I've ever seen in my life. It was a rational and legitimate proposal; why can't they accept 50 x 20 cent pieces as a cover charge, is it not legal tender? But, you just don't do it.

Not legal tender as it turns out lol

cool. low-down torque or never-ending-spool torque? im sensing stroker kit and mild cams (but strokers so pricey).

whos building engine then? or is that trade secret?

Is it the 750 that is the original or was that a special edition size?

750 = not AU market

Am I the only one around here happy with beers?

no, I LOOOOOVE beer. it's just that it's not worth talking about like scotch

Torque everywhere torque

Real McCoy "Another Night" torque (I torque torque, I torque to you)

Engine already built; under wraps til it's done!

I got torque and my turbo is literally too small, so go get some 500KW low mounts

Also expect 1 year until its working

Unless you are just flat out buying an engine which is in stock which c'mon man does not ever seem to exist

We'll see - full story when it's put together :)

But yeah I may not be keeping my HKS GT-SS

    • 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)
