Looks like I will be in Adelaide for this. Might even enter the car (unwashed, stone chipped and as disgusting as usual) in AFD at this rate.

Oh and with regards to 4.11 into a Fairmont. Hope you enjoy your new 141 or 134km/h speed limiter .

I've got uni on Friday so I'll drive (with w4yn3 as a passenger) Saturday "morning" to SA. We're staying at FF86's place & I'll be hitting on his m0m. She's Hott!

4.11s aren't that bad :P But my bodgy tailshaft ИИИИs me up the wall (true 140kph = harsh "I need a tailshaft loop!" vibration)

With 4.11's, the tailshaft will be doing the same RPM at 134kmh as it would be in a 3.23 equipped car doing 180kmh.

It's all good, I hunted down some in your area already, they currently have vacancies.

I spoke to John (Mr 4.0 who I've now nicknamed TED due to there bieng too many Johns) and he is coming over with his girlfriend, but she has to work Friday morning, so they're going to leave after that.

Ghia5L, when were you intending on leaving? Perhaps you two could cruise over together?

12 on Friday... midnight?

Anyhoo I live in Gippsland, I'm like 400km EAST of Wayne!

*my* plan is go make it to Wayne's on Friday night, after uni. As for departure time for SA? No idea... :

Apart from possibly checking the forums a couple of times today, I won't be online until at least Sunday. Mr 4.0 & others, maybe we could try & organise it via mIRC? It beats posting "is <this time> ok?", waiting 20 minutes, getting a reply of "no, <that time> suits me better", and having posts bounce back n forth for a few days.

FF86 had enough troubles trying to organise Wayne & myself on MSN lol, but I kept talking about his m0m.

/me starts uni now. Back later ;)

D4V3 You suck.
You and Wayne can [ИИИИИ] fight over who gets the couch and who gets the floor.. and who gets my bed.
I *SHOULD* have Sunday off, Saturday arvo off (ring me when you get here if you need directions..) and start uni on Monday at 9 or something...
Put the three of us down for Jaq's... I think they wanna go.

James, I highly doubt you will be at uni on the monday of the AFD weekend, especially since it is a Long weekend for Adelaide Cup Day, so you can scrap that uni crap off your excuse ;)

So are we going to do anything Friday night? I assume everyone will be too busy detailing their cars Saturday to want to go for a cruise or anything...

Hey Guys,
I'm tied up with work from fri morning until about 7 on sat night so not partying before that. It would be worthwhile contacting montyv8, big mike or sourbastard as to the possibility of a fri night cruise.
If you guys are interested in going to jac's my place is around the corner and has a couple of spare beds and swag space if you decide to drink. I can secure a couple of cars out the back if you're worried about the locals. but it's not too bad an area.

Look forward to seeing you all out for the weekend

Wayne and myself will be leaving for Adelaide from Geelong around 4am Saturday morning. Yes, 4am.

I'll have uni in Gippsland until 3pm, then I'll drive to Geelong & have an early night. We're fitting the drive in with James' work schedule. I spose being pimped isn't easy eh j4m35.

I’m in town having dinner Friday night then off to Billy Connolly. After that I should be free. A cruise (usual Friday night deal) may be in order. Either that or its project “Everyone to Phil’s in a team effort to get the underpowered XB ready for AFD”
