cruses are a massive thing at the mkment, my FB is full of cruses constantly.

But have you seen the quality of cars on those big cruises? Do you really want to cruise with P-plater 18 years olds in their beat-up EA falcons and 1980's Corollas? I can't imagine anything worse.

Yes small meet-ups are much better, except it is hard to hang out in a carpark as it attracts instant cop attention.

The V35 guys are actually having a small meet-up this Saturday night, but it for VQs only sorry :P

Still remember when SAU SA was firing really well.

There was a real great period of time for imports that I believe has passed in terms of group social events for those that are mature, its up to the numbers if they want to see each other, without that nothing can really be done.

Completely agreed. For the last 2 years of the SAU:SA club we organised about 10 events and had literally only a handful of people turn up to each event. Hence the club disappeared. You are only as strong as your member base.

Nothing wrong with small groups, better than having large groups in most cases, less chance of drawing unnecessary attention,just my opinion.

The larger a cruise the more attention it will attract, which attracts more dickheads and so on and so forth...

For the love of good some kient organise something hahahaha :P

So we seem to actually have a few people posting in here recently, lets make the most of it and have a small catch up!

Got the mother-in-law over from UK for another week but after that I have a month before the father-in-law arrives, so can spare a couple hours some time.

What suits best? Sat / Sun/ weekday, Time?

I prefer earlyish so not out too late, getting old! haha!!

    • 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.
