So far, I've made it to Thursday night meet greet and drinks.

The gong is about an hour and a half away from where I live, and the plan was to go down with a couple of sixpacks of cooper's pale ale, go for a cruise, and meet some people over a BBQ.

With some heavily stupid rain, it put a dampener on things. So much so, that the cruise was shelved, we all went to the local club for dinner, (and karaoke!) and return back to the motel where everyone was staying.

It turned out I was having so much fun (and there was so much beer around) that Gin and I ended up getting a room at the same place, and I canned on until about 3am.

Friday, we had to pike, as my missus had business to sort out. Saturday we also had to pike, because she had her birthday party on (tonight).

Needless to say, we're hoping to make it out on Sunday for the skidpan day.


We've met Jarrod and Billsy among many others, and they're ace blokes

Was a wicked event.
Reggy for PM.

Am back now guys.


Had an absolute blast. Definately worth the 1100km trip down south. Stopped in at Newcastle on the way down and spent the night there before driving the rest to Wollongong. Left the Gong yesterday morning at about 930 and got home about 8 last night. What a drive.

Met billsy and SOO081 at the motel. Had to laugh as when you actually get the chance to meet people from the forums, your perception of them is totally off from how you think they are. I told Alex I thought he was some little smarta$$ed wog c**t and I thought billsy was some old mad guy hahahahaha. We all had a good laugh about it.


Nothing is broken on the car. She made it through the whole weekend with no dramas. All up she did about 3100km since leaving the Gold Coast on Wednesday morning.  The go-karts was heaps fun. I used my own helmet that I keep in the car and decided to take off the visor as I never use it when I'm on the strip. Bad idea. Was getting smashed in the face by dirt and grass and then getting it washed away with the water spraying up from behind everyone from the track. I'll remember that for next time.  The Picton Rd cruise was a long drive but definatley good. For those of you who know what the Springbrook road is like, it was similar to this except a lot faster. Maxed out the car a few times and according to the gps, max speed isn't 180km, its 181km hahahahahahaha.  Skidpan..... what to say??? Sooo much fun to hang the car out sideways.

A massive thanks to the boys from RSLC that organised it all. Thanks for the the warm welcomes. Good to meet you too Marv as I know your not on here as much as you are on RSLC. Hope you get that power steering pump sorted out.  Click here for skidpan pics of the whole day. Heres some pics of the car from the weekend guys.


The car after the Skidpan. I found some wet grass while we were waiting...

Keg FTW.

That is all.

Dang.

I wish I could've attended.

Looks fantastic, and that video just made me sad

Jarrod I must say I love your car, the more I see of it the more I love its aggressive looks and power to back.

Marv said it goes like the clappers.

Looks as though it was a really well planned event, the organisers should definitely be proud.

I hope a similar thing will happen in '09.

So Jarrod, when are planning on moving to NSW

Pity we didn't take pics of the Gen2's together, representing.

Take that compliment on board from Geach with some weight, J-rod. He is a man with hard and high automotive tastes.
