Trish

Go on - Pauly will give you a bed for the night nod.gif
Paul@eliteauto
Be bloody cold sleeping in a car at willowbank!
Trish
True.. I just noticed the over night lows... 6 & 7 deg.

bbrrrrrrr
Felix
I would love to, but it looks like my ute is about to spit a axle/diff... all because a smash repairer couldnt do their job right.

Felix
Paul@eliteauto


Bugger! Thats no good!
Felix
Yeah, pretty pissed at my insurance company... the guy said crashes were an 'inconvience'.

I really want to crack into the mid 12's but its not worth heading out unless the ute's 100%.

You hoping to better your F6 times?

Felix
tab
Well it's one way to hurry along what you're predicting. I'm sure someone will have a tow rope to drag you back out on to a public road if it all goes bad pinch.gif
Felix

Hehe, on the video I took chasing you through that 8km twisty bit up the mountain, you can hear it on all the right handers...

Felix
tab
What video would that be? stickpoke.gif

Felix

A really painfully aweful one, the camera mount failed BAD, half way through it swings loose and sits pointing at my head, then it was vibrating so bad that it switched itself off. shocked.gif

Gone back to the drawing board as far as camera's and sound recording goes. One thing tho, you need to work on your racing lines . 10_1_106.gif

Great effort last night Paul, you should have seen the smile on your face and the look of horror when I told you the staging lanes had closed.

Only gonna get colder and that car of yours will get faster.


Scotty
f6fpv
hey scotty were you there last night with a mate in the grandstands
Kimberley Scott
Yes mate, left work and rode strait out there, my mate has a modified Evo IX tuned by Rigoli and was very impressed by what our barges could achieve, for so little money.


Scotty
Paul@eliteauto
Good to see you again Scotty.
Make sure you pop in and say hello next time you drive by.



Cheers Paul

Thats Dustin and Mitches ute.

It blew a 50c fuse and couldnt start the car.

Wouldn't even crank.

All good now.

A 5 or 6 sec dragster. A crazy 3 or 4 rotor that that was runnin easy 8s. And there was even a gsxr 1000 street legal that ran a 9 !!!
