oh Grant, were you the one taking care of the cones on the right battle lane on the skid pan???

As Martin said it was Luke.

I did it in the mornings with my friend Peter.

Heh cheers. Dont forget its also Russell and Campbells Sil80 too. Credit to those guys too for producing an 'off its chops' car haha.

Such a well built car! What a weapon!

This was honestly one of the best DECAs I've been to, and I didn't even drive. That hotel is 100x better than the Tirana; spa and sauna were awesome.

Thanks to all for the passenger rides. You've convinced to buy a car ASAP.

Additional Special thanks to:
Jett for smashing a bottle next to the spa

Mark for pouring some of his beer on the hot sauna rocks

Bec for abusing a bouncer

Femno for showing us the correct way to reverse a trailer ;)

Leon and Hayley for bringing Flynn and teaching us the Big Mac Truck song

and Josh for attending his first DECA, and not killing me in my sleep :)

Meg wants to send you a special thanks to you too Simon. She found a very pleasant surprise in her photo album.

for the battles that was Luke, Anna's Hubby, with NUTR33

Oh, that is you in the Silver Stagea...

Only did it cos I can't run without dying lol, hoppug/skipping seems better thing to do :P

Close enough, if it had rained some more I would have been in my element... Bring on Shep floods for next DECA!

If we do flood you are in so much trouble Mr Odi!!!

I must admit I laughed at Grants hopping & skipping, looked so happy to be out there!

fk, someone stab brad for me.

Hey I was just a guy with a camera, I didnt ask you to drop your pants! haha besides Meg never saw, Kieran got Jett to get in and delete it.

I'll second that, fantastic weekend, hotel was great, and the maps were really good, didn't hurt my brain trying to learn them! Thanks to everyone who helped organise and support another successful DECA!

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
