Many many thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron for accommodating SAU Members for an illuminating and involved learning experience about wheels to-day!!!

Everyone present I think, seemed to be immersed in all the information that was on offer.

I certainly learnt a lot.

Great to see all these friendly Members' faces too.

Sycorb who had to leave early; other Members who could only arrive late - at least we had a happy medium, by having this on an afternoon for once rather than an evening.

Corinne (DIF):- you guys may not know that 3 of us present to-day became Members in 2007 due to her encouragement on a dyno day event at Brookvale. Seems such a long time ago that God_speed, Pezhead and myself all joined up that day! 'Twas good that you came Corinne.

Had a great time, and thanks again to Ian and Craig for the session. Thanks to Terry, and other execs who put the hard yards in organising it.

Also nice to know that good quality jap rims have a good reputation with the professionals. ;)

Great day!! Thanks to all the execs for organinsing

Big thanks to Ian and Craig for great info and great presentation always great to see ones passion for good quality products

Great to see all the usual faces and meeting new faces ready for the next one!!!

As everyone else has said, massive thanks to Ian Raymond and Craig Cameron for their hospitality and the information they provided today! Every one of our tech nights has been both informative and interesting so far, and today was no exception.

Thanks again to Terry for organising it too.

A big thanks to Ian and Craig for hosting the event and to Terry for organising another awesome tech day.

It was good to catch up with everyone. Can't wait for the next one.

Thanks for the SAUNSW guys for organising the event with Ian and Craig.

It was good to finally put some faces next to the avatars and have some nerdy car chats with people.

Thanks to all involved.

Mark :)

Awww thanks Terry :) Was a good afternoon even though everyone was sweltering in the heat. (damn warehouses)

Very interesting workshop learnt some new things. Thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron also to the SAU exec committee to organise this. Good to see you guys are trying to keep true to the SAU club with these kind of events. They are great or all members new and even old. Can't wait for the next one. Sorry I had to run had to go pick up my sis. :)

A great session; aside from the heat I think the weekend afternoon format really worked well and I learned a lot - I think there was a good combination of basic and more technical information, and everyone I spoke to only had positive things to say. Thanks very much to Ian and Craig for their time, as well as Terry and the rest of the SAU Exec crew for organising it. It's stuff like this that sets the club apart from regular forums or FB-based groups.

Also Nick - loved the Clio! :)

    • 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)
