Lost sheep

Horse and I got lost today on the drive out to the winery

that'll larn him to try and beat me .... sorry for getting you into trouble with the handbrake Jon but I never went over the speed limit and we only missed the turnoff by about 400m so no real harm done

Here's the lost boys turning up late :

ive never seen that many F-cars in Brisbane

 

and a Merc - what a bonus!!

 

there were about 20 today but there are a hell of a lot more than that is Brisbane............. there would be quite a lot on the Gold Coast as well but they rarely venture out

 

guy who bought that has a 360 and he thought it was going to rain so bought the Tallebudgera tractor

 

woofter

 

There's your average F owner right there. (Fchat members excepted of course).

He'd rather drive an ML than get his 360 wet. Words fail me....

 

Here is some more ammo for you.....

That guy with the 360 Modena I posted in the spotters thread had never driven his car at night (its done about 3000km since new), so when it came to switching the headlights on this morning at 5am he apparently took his time working it out.

True story!

 

Thanks for posting them pics moretti. Ill be sure to join ya's on cruises like that when i move to Brisbane. I didnt think that you got out with so many other owners. How often do you guys do a cruise like that?

 

roughly once or twice a month, about 4 trackdays a year and the FNR plus a damn good xmas party .

When you get here join the Alfa or Porker club for additional trackdays, if ya into that sort of stuff, and you can use my hoist for any work you need done (I just painted it Ferrari red so it goes up and down faster now )

Got all the tools with airguns, torque wrenches ,etc ... just need to find some mechanics to help work on the thing

 

oooooohh.... envy sucks!

 

SFR isnt that organised, we dont have xmas parties, we just meet a strip club.

BTW SFR'rs I saw JB at the feral fest and i was walking thru bogan alley with Grant, JB wants to put a stripe down the middle of the GT3 and change the headlights to 997 style and to top it all off wants to put a holinger 6 speed in the thing. one thing i cant quite figure out he doesnt like the 997 GT3 -- so why put lights in the 996 to make it look like one and that stripe.......please!

 

Too late. He's already done it.

 

Excellent. Sounds great. Not that id probably ever drive/race at a trackday,but id love to check it out and hang with some of the guys that do.Thanks for the hoist,and im the correct man for the job Whats a torque wrench?

 

that GT3 is one of the few porkers on the planet worth looking at, why f^&k with it?

Ha Ha Ha.......Horse was running perfectly (even the aircon was cold!) but the first time I hit 7000 rpm there was this LOUD NOISE in my left ear. Couldn't work it out, so again I took it out to 7000, this time in 3rd, and once again there was this LOUD NOISE in my left ear.
Yes, t'was the handbrake.
Anyone have any ideas on how to quieten down a noisy handbrake?

 

Leave her at home.

 

Who'd pay for lunch?

 

I suppose you could just gag her. Might get some funny looks from onlookers though.

 

Moretti - he's good like that

 

I've enjoyed my driving so much more since having the QV because my handbrake won't come in it because she reckons I go too fast !!??? wtf !! it's only a 308, how can it go fast ??!!
