    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Aye, sorry to hear mate. :(:(

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

    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. :eek::eek:

    Unobtanium will do that to them. :eek::eek:

    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.

    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.
