I've got my deck chair, tarp and the cameras charged.

Looking forward to slidey pictures of awesomes.

Want to see Vito bog two tow trucks this time.

Um, anybody got an airmattress or two they can bring along? We've got a couple of desperate last minute seekers of accomodation for friday and we've only got room for one of them.

I'm just whinging, won't mind me

I'll aim for a bit before 8, bearing in mind the traffic will probably be shit, since most people lost the ability to drive as soon as it looks like rain

[Draven]

last minute decision.... take down road tyres (Michelin Super Sports/PS3) or take track tyres? (half munted V70A)?

my thoughts are road tyres will be better in the rain.... track tyres if it dries up at all?

[-GT-]

So my "fine for 7pm departure" is a little threatened by me still being at work... I'll make 8pm though, i'm sure.

Might just be relying on a 30 min run to Brooks Rd...

Vito I find 80 to about 60 deg then taper down to about 60 at 80deg works for me but hot starts still take a bit extra cranking.

See you all there bright and early....it'll be dry

My front brake pads didnt get sent so when they found them they sent them same day express. At the moment they are due to turn up at 8.30 tonight. Done the rears and the front is all ready and waiting for them . Have the Bendix Ultra Premiums waiting still, in case they dont turn up.

You know you're going to take both so just do it.

Nice, they'll arrive 9 hours before you're leaving... ...better than next week I guess. Now you can have fun bedding them in tonight.

Good luck.

Fark!

Try Loz?

[simmosideways]

I hear vitos alternator clapped out on the drive down.. Will see him bright and early tomorrow morning.. somewhere..

[Hack]

Car is back in braidwood.
Looks like lower (year old) ball joint seperated @ 100kph.
methinks i may give the ebay specials a miss this time and go oem...

Car pulled up well tho, did some massiv hops as it rode up the tyre, but was easily controllable.
think the rim is dead tho

Fuck me, glad to hear you are ok. Cars can be fixed, people not so much. Would certainly be a brown pants moment having something let go at that speed.

Last time I spoke with him was about 50kms out of Goulburn.... thinks he's sorted for now
