Can anyone give me a lift from Flinders St station on Saturday and next Sat. too? Can't do anything on the 5th though as I'm going to watch my team loose again at the cricket.

Interested in seeing the pix you took Al [] La Trobe Uni's miles from here.

Yes. Simple as that []

Guys, I'm going to buy a cell phone during this next week - seems to be the easiest and most reliable way to get in touch as I have way less internet access here (thanks to my g/f brother...). I doubt any of you will head out to Bentleigh today (Sunday Nov 21) as it's nearly 1 pm now [V]

I thought Drew was from Sydney [?] Is there anything happening this weekend? Dunno if I can make it tomorrow.

I think the diff and bevel gears on the FAV are the same as the Frog, etc. I could've bought some over for you Dingo. I've got tons of those annoying things all in good nick. I've got half a dozen rear ends for a Blackfoot in a box somewhere. BTW, I'm here for three weekends. I go home on the 9th [8D]

I'm not exactly armed with cash though [] This place is off Centre Rd. & near Parkmore Rd. (which is where I am). I'll get back to you about the name of the street. There's actually a few parks (Mackinnon I think...) around here and a place where there's some dirt trails near the Southland Mall if you're all familar with that - well Nigel probably isn't. Other than than I'm gonna need a ride again as the only transport I have here is public [8)] I'm not too sure where you live Will, but I think I remember Alex saying he lives 5 mins from Templestowe (lucky punk). E. Bentleigh from there is about 20 mins away. There's also a BMX track near here too on Centre Rd. The only prob with the dirt pile next door is that it's a rough piece of work. I took a car out on it yesterday and in a couple of seconds it was on its roof. The place needs a once over with one of those big metal rollers like they use to flatten sports fields, lol. I might take a photo and out it up so y'all can have a look.

Yah, think something got deleted...meh. I was complaining about something [] You know there's a bunch of dirt next door to me here where a house got demolished a few months ago. Could set up a BBQ & some pylons or something & make a day of it. When the council gets off their a$$es it's going to be a two-storey block of flats. 'When' being the keyword. Just an idea for a venue.

Calling me a hick, Mr. Serious? [:0]

Alex id="quote">id="quote">Heh heh, well I flew in on Monday (the 15th) and it seems I bought the good weather with me. I guess you guys are used to temperatures around the 30s - I'm not [8)] I bought my Astute, the 'Super Chump' & the old Mini this time. I guess we should figure out where we wanna go so Mr. Dingo can get organised? I'm going to see if BDMC74 (Brad) wants to go too. He just lives 5 mins up the road from here. Oh yeah, Alex it's 'down here,' Melbourne's about a degree lower in latitude from where I live in NZ [] Mike.

Wow, $50 AU for a nearly complete NIB FAV? You're extremely lucky dude! [] I'd say driving a FAV would be easier than any of the SRBs on tarmac. Hope you can come for a blat in Mel. I'm flying in tomorrow. Mike.

quote:Originally posted by Dingo_ausI only have a couple of FAVs - I mean what more do you need? id="quote">id="quote">Lol, true. The more you visit this site the more they seem to accumulate. Any of the FAVs run? I have one but it's sitting around waiting to be put back together. I've never seen one on the move [:0]

Basically what Wills said. Do you have anymore cars other than what's in your showroom? Hope you can make it []

quote:Originally posted by WillyChangAmazing how many times one can hit a moving barrier... [] id="quote">id="quote">Yeah, you get that with stripped servo gears [:I] I must've crashed in the same barrier half a dozen times in a row the first time at Templestowe...

quote:Originally posted by Dingo_ausAnyone biting in Brisbane? id="quote">id="quote">Nah, Melbourne sorry. Unless of course you wanna jump on a plane and have a blat with us in a coupla weeks. [] I'm coming from NZ.

quote:Originally posted by Incredible_SeriousIs that because (a) they're not moving fast enough, or ( they're off track getting their servos repaired??? Lol... Offroad... who knows what we can break this time!!!! Alex id="quote">id="quote">Heh heh, well yeah my stuff is slow [:I] but the busted servo was Mr. Chang's fault - he has the yellow car whish looks like the crash barriers [] You'll break everything, I'll loose a couple of wheelnuts []

quote:Originally posted by Incredible_SeriousNah... just a nut... [] Alex id="quote">id="quote">Here we go...lol. Hey, nothing drops off my cars when they're moving [}]

I think we've definitely gotta go off-roading somewhere [] I'm there just over two weeks or so, so I hope the weather holds out for at least a weekend. Seems you've got typical NZ weather for this time of year. We have yours. **** sun [] Oh yeah, I'm on the look out for some decent batteries cos mine are really starting to be on their way out. I prefer ni-cads as I don't have a charger capable of charging those Ni-MH dealies. Where's a good place to get batteries on a budget? I'm not a serious racing nut as I'm sure you know.

And if mine wasn't green Alex wouldn't keep skidding into it like it's the grass outside of the track [] I'll send you guys an email around the 17th. 'Til then enjoy your rainy Melbourne weather []

Brake fluid will do the trick too.

So Alex, how far is the area that's being re-developed from where you are or Templestowe? What'd you reckon we could all run there? If your Mini wasn't black you might be able to see it on the road better [] j/k.

Wow, that looks great! []

Ouch, nasty pic there [8)] I tracked down an Avante diff from some advice given to me by Kontemax. It's a gear diff and the diff gear's teeth are the same pitch as the KC's ball diff. There's a little bit of work to get it to fit, but otherwise it works great. You never have to worry about it again.
