Sydney Visit

I don't like horses, champagne or society BS, so SFA there for me.

 

with you their.I've never seen anyone watching the polo their all to busy crapping on.
favourite of the Brighton slappers.

 

Cool man!

The 456 looks great!!

Your garage is bigger than my house!!!

 

Jeff, you should stay for the next weekend!
There is a big Historics meeting @ Mount Panorama Bathurst on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Over 500 cars racing.
You are driving right past it on the way to Orange. Or go back to Sydney (3 hours) spend a few days there and back to Bathurst and check out a day of racing.
I'll be in the 308 again running in Group Sc.
Of course it would be good to see some of you Aussies as well.

Steve

 

On another forum,I'm told a Group Sb Jag E-type will be racing with about 400bhp!
Shakes head and on 3 x SUs.

 

Thanks so much for organising the drive today Allan. I had a heap of fun. The 360 sounded awesome bouncing off the walls of the hills. Didn't have to speed to have fun either. I couldn't believe the torque of the Lotus 350 sport. Each car had it's own characteristics.

Flamestone thanks for the tips on taking photos mate, I'll be sure to try that when I get back home.

 

Great day out, but i've got 2 broken foglights

 

Hi jeh, nice to put a face to a name mate. I forgot to tell you, not sure if you left foot brake, but you're brake lights were flickering quite a bit when I was following in the porker.

 

I'm thinking the same - although over my way obviously. I reckon there must be heaps of other guys with too many cars who can help pay for it too.

 

In the BMW??

Stones smash them?

He's a good kid isnt he?

Smart boy.

 

Good to finally meet you as well Brett.

the lights are news to me? My technique is firm application trailing it off towards the apex. Apparently the lights have other ideas, or the sunlight was playing tricks on you?

 

Too kind Papster!, both lights on the bmw, thats another $300 if i can locate another pair this week

 

and its YOUR!

 

haha, ppl usually get it wrong the other way

 

Aye, sorry to hear mate.

I hope you find a pair soon. Very unlucky to have both smash in the same drive.

I have seen 348 fog lights sell up to US $1200 each on Ebay. They must average at least US $800 a light from what I have seen.

Unobtanium will do that to them.

 

that's Brett. he does everything backwards.

 

FO x 308. thanks to Allan I had a great day.

You know the bulk of people on this forum really are nice. Will post more when back in Melbourne. Very hard on iPhone.

 

Hope you had a successful trip and safe drive back home!

I know you're likely to want get on your way for longish day drive but don't hesitate to drop by for another coffee.. my current work hours are 6am - midnight most days so you'll find me around lol.

 

thanks Alex. Currently stuck with customer in the cross. the things you do for work.

God knows what time I'm gunna get home. I'll see how I'm travelling on the way. Already put my order in once I reach Melbourne.

 

WOW. Well I've now experienced it all now. My first unisex toilet. Only in Sydney. Feels s bit strange washing your hands talking to a lady. To quote PP "shakeshead".

 

I am officially old. It's 2am and I just back to the hotel. The place was rocking when I left. Obviously people don't start work early. Oh to be young again.

 

It was a pleasure. And of course I now own copyright of every photo you take in the future. ;-)

Welcome to the 20th century Brettski

Darwin had them back in '77 at the nightclubs

 

That will get ugly, hope it's short term.

 

Thats the aim .. my *dream* is to cut back to doing just half days, ie 12 hours lol.

Got a LOT of product (iPhone mainly) in the pipeline so prob most of this year.. but 2 years overdue for more than a week off so I might need a mid-year break to make it to the end!

Irony is working so hard just so CAN take some time off.. least its flexible and can take a break (jog, cycle, horse ride..) whenever cobwebs need a cleanout and change of focus to freshen up.
