| Pity I had to get to work. Being on call is the pits. I would have liked to hang out with you all for a bit, especially since there were a few kids my sons age to keep him amused. Funny quote from the 6y.o. "Wow! look at all those Soarers...How come that one doesn't have a 'Soarer' badge?" The Lexus/Toyota badge argument seems set to live on in the next generation of enthusiasts. |

| Hi all, great day yesterday, good to meet you all put faces to the names that appear on this site. A big thank you to all of you for your help getting my car running again(blew the top radiator hose off and emptied the coolant from the motor on the ground at the meeting point). A lot of drink bottles were sacrificed to clean coolant off the paintwork and refill the radiator. The fact that none of you would leave for Harrigan's until my car was running again was a warm and fuzzy moment for me, so thank you again. (The previous car club we belonged to would have said call and let know how you go). I especially liked the duelling turbo's and car horns in the middle of Cessnock, all class and great sound lol. Thought some of you were going to Woolombi?, as you left first we tried to catch up but no one was in front. The pull of the F3 must have been to great. Looking forward to the next run, how about Bathurst or the ACT and meet the guys out there? Or just a local McDonalds breakfast run. |

| Nar, we all like the real toyota look LOL..... There was 1 set of those Ebay Supra lights on Jeffs car... I think the 94 tail lights look MUCH better than those. |

| The turbo's are great really tight( will call Luke and let him know). Nearly missed out on the drive as I found two welch/welsh plugs weeping as I was fitting the new turbo's. One right at the back behind the pipe and the one behind the thermostat housing. Had to pull all the timing gear and water pump off to get to it. Added a good few hours to the job. Very happy with how it is going at the moment( mine is the red one with all the water on the floor). We should have a drive even if we meet at Lithgow Macca's and do breakfast or something?. |

Yeah that was me and the track car. No rego=no public roads. Been there, learnt that lesson. We bought the trailer and Xtrail a while back, and wanted to test is out. You wont find many roads in worse condition than the road from Harrigans back to Singleton. Tows fine. Diesel would have been better. |

That guy in the Falcon didn't know what he was messing with. lol He was annoying me the way he was driving. I was just cruising I slow down a bit so I can cut behind him and stay in the left lane and he backs off trying to line me up for a race. So I gradually accelerate so I can get infront of him and go in the left lane and he puts his foot down trying to race. It was very annoying. Had a fun cruise guys. Can't wait for the next one. It was a great drive, on some great roads, in some great cars and with a great bunch of blokes. I think we got home twice as quick as it took us to get up to Harrigans. I wonder why, lol. |
