ANF Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 2 sons and 2 cars , reverse direction around a Targa stage ; it's pretty rough and ready , a little "air time" Can you get your 911 on SI rego or does it need full rego because it is LHD?Just curious....Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 Over 30 years old = full rego , no problem. And anyway , it's a bit hard limiting yourself to 52 days a year with our beckoning roads! OTOH SI requires an original car in excellent condition to meet regs. Thus modfied cars (? back/forward dated etc etc) might be knocked back.

ANF Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 But you could put on SI rego? I have one of my old Mercs ('67 250S) on SI rego, but unfortunately do not drive it enough.... handles quite well for what it is My E320 will have to do for our twisty roads until the P car finds its way to me, and it does love them too!

tazzieman Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 I'd love a look at your 250S sometime. Got a thing for 60s Mercs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 17March, 2015 Report Share Posted 17March, 2015 Would you like to buy one... Had three now down to two with at least one more to go, need the room and have to eventually clear some for the eventual 928.... Sure no worries I'll pm you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony1 Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 overnight drive for work to Bathurst via the Bells Line of Fun, pity about all the road works, but the areas that are close to finished have some great grip. plus the obligatory (hot) laps around Mt Panorama well and truly made the trip worth it, now just to sit and wait for the invitations in the mail but they were so worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Drove the 944 home from Dr Simon at Autowerks Charmhaven, new oil pan gasket and good to go again, no more drops of oil on the garage floor. tony1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Have been testing my SC as a daily all this week, has been a great stress reliever driving it home after work but with 36 degrees predicted tomorrow and no A/C, think I'll give it the day off!

ByronBayChris Posted 21March, 2015 Report Share Posted 21March, 2015 Jealous of the Canberra drive, so took the two boys on a loop through the Byron Hinterland. Also found thts sign which made me laugh. Could the council have actually used an image for No Nudity!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 24March, 2015 Report Share Posted 24March, 2015 Youngest daughter found herself a boyfriend 20km from our house......good for me, as I have to pick her up from his house. How I love these roads - long sweeping curves, not many potholes at the moment and absolutely no traffic at this time of night. Took the 993 the other night in torrential rain.........ended up a little messed up in a roundabout. So took the T tonight - dry and calm night - windows down, cool breeze blowing through the car and the sound of that flat 6 behind me...sat at close to the speed limit (after taking into consideration for speedometer inaccuracies, tail wind and police adjustment) and certainly felt solid on the road. No wander, No wiggles, no over or understeer ---- just absolute bliss on four wheels, two doors, and six pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 26March, 2015 Report Share Posted 26March, 2015 Heavy rain , drove the 924 into work. Good test for the heater-demister I refurbed some time back. Paying for my haircut , we noticed two hipsters trying to push a Camry up a slight hill on a busy street in rush hour in slight rain. The lactate took over and they were cooked! The girl driver jumper out , shoved one out the way and started pushing , getting the car much further and outta trouble. Proof of the scientific evidence that testosterone levels have shifted away from the male of the species in the past 20 years. It was pretty funny actually. As I was slowly running back to my car a huge flash of lightning and it bucketed. Needless to say i got soaked , but another good test of the demister as I drove home in and out of the eye of the storm. Nearly at the top of the final hill I saw some white spots on the road. Literally within 300m it turned to marbles of hail ; on the last hairpin the car went obliquely towards the cable guardrail catching me quite unawares. Fortunately I wasn't in the 911, and the little transaxle turd corrected when I lifted off and got me home where my other cars were getting pummelled by hard stones. her indoors had pulled a blanket over the 911s arse , the 944 was covered but the shark had to take it like a man. Unlike my son's Toyota 86 which has just had $3000 insurance repairs after the last hailstorm , the shark is unblemished. Tough skin , aluminium is pretty good like that. Unfortunately the 924 is also a tough nut , thus I will have to paint it myself after all...for a moment it was looking like an insurance job. Best hail storm in 18 years up here , and the bollocks are still attached! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your cars survived ok Look in today's paper Yes it was somewhat "regional". Our little dog was munching the stones like his dinner crunchies, and then he peed on 'em. Don't eat yellow hailstones , lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't eat yellow hailstones , lol.Ah, don't get paper but looked online. I do find it weird, yesterdays "storm" was about 15 minutes of heavy rain here followed but distant thunder. We have the rain now though, hope it clears for the weekend and the relay!!Last time it hailed in Hobart, nothing here either, the extra few minutes away from the mountain help me thinks Dogs will be dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit extreme or in Gen Y speak , Xtreme I got roped into being team captain , so I will be there most of the time.... starting tomorrow at 8am (my fiancé is running the event!!) but my actual times are 4-5am and 9-10am. I aim to have a small sleep over midnight....ish I lived on Eastern up until last year, living here is similar to there, far enough away from the big hill!! tazzieman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 27March, 2015 Report Share Posted 27March, 2015 Somehow the Friday planets aligned and I managed to attend a cancer support association fundraising lunch at Frogmore estate. I know , I should've taken the 911 . Well the vines escaped yesterday's hail it seems. The really cool part of the day was dessert Yes , I did try to stack a couple together, but it was a serious occasion so I quickly got on with the devouring.

ByronBayChris Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 And much to my delight, we will have a bunch of splitties coming along next week. It was great to park next to the Type 1 and see the similarities - they certainly share the same distant DNA. Steiny and turboT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
