    I'll probably be out for the Nov 18th, looks like Kev won't run at the Morgan Park round, as you have probably seen the damage will take too long to fix
    I am thinking about taking out a contract on the dill that caused it however.
    i think a few drivers will have a chance to say they overtook a GT3 in a civic on saturday...
    actually not sure if we're driving yet, got the helmets and extuingisher etc in case we can, but going to check it out anyway

    Looks like this is contagious. Have no idea what car I will run, but due to Classic Adelaide next weekend I'm joining a club and getting a L2(S) licence Monday evening.

    i give it a year until you have one - approx 10 months to pay off debt (variable) + 3 months to get funds and help to make it raceworthy
    or, borrow one of ours until then anyway

    Do you need me to pick anything up? How long does the guru think it will take to fix?, and does that include painting etc?
    clutch-monkey, mate don't worry about who overtakes you, get your lines right,braking markers correct, make sure the tyre pressures are right and all the fluids checked, belts tight, be happy with your driving and the speed will come with time and experience DO NOT take the Porker home on a tilt-tray, it isn't a good look.
    To cyco, good to see you taking the first step, good luck
    whiteballz, make some enquiries, join a club, it's easy from there. Fellas believe me, it is so much better to do it (motorsport, that is) in the controlled environment of a sprint/hill-climb/race meeting etc, there are people on hand to help if you get in the sh#t, and not so many things to hit, it's so much safer than stuffing around on public roads, take it from a man who knocked 3 of the 4 corners off his newly re-built car in his youth (Dad aka tyke had just finished it and I knocked some Armco out of the ground with it )
    It's more fun on a track

    I remember it well. The Yamaha motor for the sillycar. "She slots straight in mate". Yes, after you construct a new exhaust system, change the bell housing, use the original sump pan which requires the oil pick-up to to be re-manufactured to suit the different pan, different engine mounts, make a new throttle system because we now have a crossflow engine, and then those Japanese Dellortos! I think they had the SU label on them, but really they bore more resemblance to a Dellorto. Finally I got them to deliver something like the power that they should, or at least enough to get you to 360 it, bouncing off each corner as you went! Fortunately only pride was hurt.
