I over stress when it comes to my cars getting damaged, it's just when you know that bit of your car is a bit stuffed it stands out to you when others might not notice it. Oh well I'll see what you fellas think but fingers crossed it's an easy fix.

COME ON PEOPLE let's get as many VIC Soarers together as possible so we can get some awesome pictures in and have a enjoyable and relaxed day. If we get a fair few cars down I'm hoping to achive a photo something like this with Soarers.

but let us know if you're coming so I can make enough of these "things" for everyone can't tell you what it is but it's a cheap and cheerful present for all. (sadly it's non-edable) :-)

Probably get more numbers in Spring or Summer man, Winter is not a very welcoming time for anyone at all. We have plenty of opportunities mate and I'll be there :-)

Well ken as long as your there everything will be okay then. Haha. Yeah I agree with ya champ but it's all about hardening up to the cold.

Been talking to a buddy and she has shown me different ways for taking photos of cars and etc. Been trying it out and boy it makes a difference, so I'll be hauling a heap of stuff down. (better get rid of the dead hooker in the boot then:-)).

James you want me to bring any tools, stands, jacks? Anything you can think of I'll bring down two socket sets.

If we do get more numbers then we'll really need to find someplace with more room to move, with us three last time it was just enough, though it is a good place to do it.

Oooo wet rag on my car at the moment will be like wet sand paper.

Yeah man around 8 sounds good let me know and I'll see how I go for time.

I'll try and find out about the other car wash but not 100% sure how far it's from dandy.

There are a few near my area such as one off the Wellington rd exit on the freeway (monash) it's I think 2 exits before the dandy one, you just keep on going straight as soon as you get off the freeway pass Stud Rd intersection (you'll see a pub on you left "Stanford Hotel") keep on heading up untill you see a shell servo (it's a very nice straight but the pigs love to graze around ther)

So in summary it's the Shell servo on Wellington rd.

yeah I got some slappas drinks on in the city, I better be able to get up tomorrow. Maybe the good old trick of 2L of water before you go to bed. Haha.

Yeahh I have to try and not to drink too much tonight, that's a big ask it's like trying to stop yourself when Heidi Klum and her work buddies come round to your place for fun times.

Went for a quick spin this morning. Man I love the sound of my exhaust. Changing it up through the gears. Especially good driving past buildings where you can hear it echo!

Quiet one this afternoon. Got some new south park to watch, and will probably just relax. Richard, if you want to see an insane thread - read this from first to last page. Holy mother of god
