Yeah, I had a top day! Thanks for setting up the event Andrew, very well organised! Really excellent group of people! Weather started out a bit average, but got better as the day went on. I’m looking forward to the next cruise/event!

I’ll get my pics on here when I get back to the bridge, this computer we’ve got in Adelaide is a piece of junk!

Cheers,

Sam

Great day all round, esp. enjoyed Noarlunga hill :D, and I'm immensely proud of the fact i got the go kart tyre smokin' even if it was a bit of a cheat/luck! :)

I've got a couple of pics, nothin' special but, I'll get em up soon.

Looking forward to the next SAU-SA event!

pak.gif i call it bad power/weight ratio...lol

nice to meet quite a few new faces

and all old faces do what they usually do - not attending ChairShot.gif

it's a top day

Here are some pic i took

click

great to see you guys had so much fun again

as always ...nice pics again maxx

damn I missed out on another fine day because my car is still in the workshop :D

Is it me or is it the south australian autoengineering places.....not many places seems to be punctual on their quote at all :) I dread everytime the car goes into the shop now because I never know when it's finish.....so disappointing :) :kick:

was good to get out with ya's. sorry i didnt stick around much, we ended up going for a thrash along some very nice winding roads all the way back to mt barker.

how did the carting go??

would be well good to orginise an actual cruise some time, eagle on the hill, greenhill, corckscrew, etc.

cheers

After the carting we went back thru the windy stuff, was good but i'd had enough hard steering after karting so didn't go so hard, after I had a nice "moment" at one of the turn offs ;) i realised i wasn't quite up to it then and there.

Personally I prefer having something on the agenda instead of JUST a cruise, more interesting, but that's just me.

oh.. was that u maxx. hahaha :rofl:

ooh.. stop teasing me

getting overtake by such amount of people is not good fun, where is love??:opps:

Looking forward to the next meeting

Dahn, hope yr s2k will be ready by then, good stuff always take time to build ;)

agree with oosh, prefer having something on the agenda instead of JUST a cruise, IMO it's pointless to trash car with a big bunch of others, mostly will end up crash due to the varient of different driving level

for sure, multi-purpose cruises are great fun, and let people get to know each other.

Yea Noarlunga Hill was rather fun...  :headspin:

I've just been told it's not Noarlunga but summin with a "lunga" on the end but who cares it was a hoot.

Oh and here are some photos :) If anyone on the cruise wants the full 4MP versions (~1.5Mb) just send me a PM.

Btw. Thanks for all the nice shots of my car Maxx, they're awesome and, i needed some.

Was good to meet a few more faces, that's for sure.

I also don't think there will be any hesitation in inviting all that came for further events, I know I speak for most here when I say the d1ckhead factor should be kept to a minimum.

Seems like the guys from the go-karts remembered you guys from a previous cruise, but I'll leave that up to people's imagination.

Ash, I would have thought the Victorian would be the person MOST likely to have a jumper in their car, but that's just me.

Shame a few more couldn't make it, but there will be others I'm sure.

Un;ike you weak South Australians i can deal with the cold in most cases, aclimatised you see... :( If you saw all the crap in my boot at the end of Karts a jumper was about the only thing i didn't have in the car! :cheers:
Great Pics Guys.

Sorry I Didnt Stick Around For The Whole Cruise.

Ill Be Keen For The Next One!

That's cool, and I'm proud you used my photo as your avatar! :)

:P

Well here come the excuses :-

Sorry i couldnt make it, but ive had the flu for the last 2 weeks now (ended up being taken to hospital last night in an ambulance about 3 am because of it). Im also on workcover, so its best if i keep my weekend activities on the low for now.....

Bring on future events though...

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
