Awesome. I'll keep my eyes peeled! =-]

Hi all

I would also like to thank everyone for being so nice and tolerant of me and the big blue taxi. I've always wanted to have a go and this time did it. What a hoot! Absolutely stuffed by the time I went home. Thanks for the organisers they did a great job. I would certainly like to tag along again.

Cheers

Geoff

Thanks mate! They look great!

Guys (and girls), whatever Steve-O says about the Sutton Road facility, I can vouch for - it is an AWESOME venue and will be worth every cent you spend to attend and drive at, even if we can't bring the price down much!

Be warned, though: it is a fairly narrow track with some areas that don't have too much run-off, so if we do end up placing witches hats down on the track to keep the speeds down in certain areas, don't despair because we want people to have fun WITHOUT the risk of getting hurt and damaging cars. Oh, and there were kangaroos down there when we last ran an event there a few years back, which made us pause between runs on occasion because there's not much you can do to get them off the road sections.

Back on topic, once again a MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS on the day. It gave us Execs a few quick chances to get out there and enjoy it as much as you all were too.

Yes, thanks for giving up your afternoon runs to time Nick.

Soon you'll all be seeing a new project I'm working on to automate the timing (still design phase though). More details will be coming soon.

As always I'm slow to respond, kind of like sunday.

Awesome day, thanks to everyone helping to put on another great day. Thanks to Nick for giving me a race at the end of the day. Great to see a bunch of stags out there, now we need to get them on the skid pan. Hopefully my granny driving will encourage them to uphold the stag honor.

Sutton road looks great, very keen for that.

And Steve-o I drive faster when the icecream is melting.

Sorry guys, Presidential duties (like maning a BBQ for 3 hrs) wore me out so I didn't have the time to do the normal videos.

This is the price of being the man in charge. At least you I know you miss me :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
