No but I believe a couple of guys came from the Army over there with skid car experience and are working for DTEC

John Willmot is one I think

Cheers

I met John once or twice his name rings a bell the Army guys did it as a full time job we only sat in for our courses so the Navy troops had a Navy staff member there.

i think i saw a video of that set up with the camrys once when we were look into contracting out driver training for the services

yea we were trying to pick up the forces when they were looking at Privitisation.

Unfortunately there were too many white shirts upstairs with too much to lose and too many hidden agendas.

Cheers

Ken,

I was impressed by the way Micko's handles, and yes I will buy a GTR, but probably not just yet. My appendage is bigger:p

See'ya:burnout:

Dude if you were impressed with the handling you wanna ride in one with a real driver at the helm - take a spare pair of jocks though:D

anyway , enough of the reminiscing and hanging shit ( and probably washing ) on pwptf 's appendage.

The bootlid would fit a complete load on.

His personal one would just hold a gstring and a very small peg

Cheers

weiners anyone ??

ture everyone was trying to protect there own interests in the end its all gone to crap now i hear nothing but bad stories - a mate of mine is the contact manager for Navy Driver training in Melbourne he stops by for a beer whenever he flys in.

Yes , ain't that the truth.

We almost got the W A police to use them for training but some spanker SGT could see his job disappearing and canned it.

Govt f**ing dept's. Spent 1,000's on vids , professional resume's etal and in the end nothing has come of it after about 8yrs.

Got out cos I didn't need the head f*ck and the heart attack

Cheers

broke but happy

    • 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)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
