    Rosco

    Minor change of plans due to the heat mate. We will be meeting up at 7.30am on Friday 21 March and leaving at 8.00am from the truck stop on the Barton Highway just out of Hall, as per previous years.

    Tips for those who have not previously attended are:
    - DEFINITELY bring a CB (Channel 16) as are must for those cruising as we can all keep together and entertain those cruising alone in their ride.
    - BYO grog with you for Friday/Friday night to Dubbo as the bottlos will be closed due to Easter Friday….VERY IMPORTANT!!!
    - Bring hat, sunblock , sunnies , camera etc and even a chair for the lazy events etc.
    Cheers

    So drive it instead of trailering it, i'm sure you can catch us up, even with a 2 hour departure delay

    Forget your 1:05 dreams of WP, i'd be more impressed to see Canb to Dubs in 2 hours 30

    With Mitch leading the pack and all the weak bladder stops, a 2hr start would be too easy

    Hahaha so are we going to see the GT8 freight train this year or just the trailer? Anyone else want to take the lead and push the convoy along. with double demereits its not going to be me. More than happy to just follow the leader tho???

    Im on leave for the next 2 weeks so wont be posting up much. So call me on 0408994410 (I donr return tXT either) if you need anything.
    Cheers

    Found my alcoholic GB - all sorted now. Contemplated making my own by distilling some goon but I don't have time.

    Bought two fold up chairs as standing is for gawkers.

    Car survived the trackday so I am just giving it a service at it should all be sweet.

    7:30am. I'll be there............a few minutes late no doubt.

    Alas I won't be making it this year... didn't pull my finger out and a little broke (see reference to new ducati in sig). There are a few more reasons, but I won't bore you all.

    My recomendation - turn your CB off at RBT's. Or simply ban Mr Simpson from using one all together!

    It was actually pretty funny, too bad c*nstable tight arse had zero sense of humour! I know rbt's are serious, but if you have that little a sense of humour you need to get out more!

    Or you talk to a home brewer who has a couple (read 30 odd) long necks of alcoholic ginger beer. I'm sure the CCG has at least one brewer...namely me

    Fkn old cars and not being able to get parts for them any more My plans for a lazy week of care free evenings with just a few minor tasks to perform on the rolla and just a wash of the car before we go have gone down the gurgler.

    Brake master cylinder died last, better bloody find one by Thursday! Not looking good though after this mornings stop in at ACT Brakes.

    EDIT: got one being overnighted in from Japan with a bottle of Naawwwwwwsss and a Spoon engine.

    So you are sorted?

    If not, ACT brake sleeving in Qbn will do it quick and cheap. They use a SS sleeve so ends up better than factory and will never have to worry about it again.

    GT8 gets tuned tonight....drove it to work today and it's stupid....clutch is literally a switch requiring wheelspinning mayhem to get off the line every time I guess i expected as much but was hoping in vain for some level of streetability
