Thursday 23/12/04 - Christmas Lights Tour


Recommended Posts

If any of you are interested, I will be leading some people through the local southside christmas lights on Thursday night. I'm going on the BCC bus tour tonight and I thought I might just follow that route on thursday night. It's meant to go past most of the award winners on the southside of Brisbane.

If any of you are interested, we'll meet at Crazy Clarks Springwood carpark around 7:00ish. I'll make it earlier so you guys can bring the kids if you wanted to.

If not ones interested in seeing the christmas lights, tell me so and I'll scrap the idea :P

I guess I better take a pen and paper tonight to write down the streets then hey!

Just grab the Bus Drivers map Erin :P

But I should be there! I havent gone looking at chrissy lights for years!

This isn't going to be some full blown christmas lights spectacular, but I'll try my best to follow the same route that the lost bus driver took tonight. Obviously without the wrong turns. But that's half the fun. It went through runcorn, kuraby, algester, parkinson, crestmean, ... more crestmead, then to springwood.

never been to one of these meets before i might come.. if you see a red 34 crusin around its me tryin to find crazy clarks lol.. i think i might no where it is.. its on the left heading towards the coast at a large shopping center is that right?

If you are heading south along the freeway you take the rochedale/springwood exit and go straight through the set of lights at the top. Continue along that same road through another set of lights and it's on the left before the right hand turn off to go to the gold coast.

Seeming it's also late night shopping and 2 nights before christmas, there might be a few parking issues, but most of you know my car, so if you see me... just park and come over.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
