[Admiral coFF33]

i hate you !!!

Prolly $3k worth of TEIN love right there

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Shop around, do your homework, watch the exchange rate, and it can be had for under $1800 like me

[brett_celicacoupe]

id also factor in that fuel may well be $2/litre by then. possibly higher.


best to start converting your cars to electric now


if you come as far north as townsville then i might be able to provide accomodation. depends if im still living with the folks i guess

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Townsville will be the stopping point before heading inland, so we may take you up on your offer!

[brett_celicacoupe]

yeh, i live on the flinders highway pretty much at the moment.

you would head out via charters towers, Mt ISA....

i bet your spewing there is no open limits heading to darwin now

edit;

prepare yourself for shit roads. better pack some super soft springs for your coilovers

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I know, tis a damn shame. Meh, I'll just soften the coilovers using the EDFC and see how we go

[brett_celicacoupe]

i forgot.

if i go to the nationals in 09' then ill be able to convoy all the way home with you guys

i convoyed with the brisbane guys last time but i had to do the 1400k bris-tvl stint solo.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Then it's decided, you just have to come!

[fixeruperer]

my car uses to much fuel i dont think ill make the next fuel station from adelaide.
would be a good trip tho.
*thinking music*

edit: hehe just read first post NFW my car is to loud for that many k's.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

What do you drive?

Then you have over a year to get it quieter

[Pimpin_1JZ]

Yeah seriously, I don't think your consumption could be any worse than mine with big fuel pump, 550's etc etc

[thechuckster]

what kind of temps and humidity will you be driving thru? for 10-15K km of highway driving you might find no-aircon will save you a fair amount of fuel plus lighten the cooling load on the engine.

[MR 1JZ]

yeah but who wants to drive with no aircon on during the middle of the day...they will stink worse than a dead fishermans arsehole

[Pimpin_1JZ]

Mine doesn't work anyway . Might as well rip it out when I put the engine back in.

[MR 1JZ]

why doesnt it work?

im going to make mine work when i go 1J...you never really appreciate AC untill you have four or five 40+ degree days in a row
