Well done G&D. As always a great day

It was a top day as all have said....

Casper, You forgot Joel the new fella at G&D. Tall skiny fella.
Also, as for using the Whoosh BBQ for the AU day that would depend where I would have to park the BA BBQ transport veichle.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and made the day what is was.

I met and chatted to lots of new people and also had a chat with others I already new.

Well done on the vid's Russ.

hahaha, after my efforts on Saturday i was wondering if my EL was the first pig to ever be put on a dyno, it certainly squealed like one!!!! I might look into a tune for the car, but i haven't done much research into it, so wouldn't know where to go!!!

Thanks to the guys at G&D, the organisers of the day and everyone involved

Thanks Simon , it was great to finally meet you at last too . Thanks (mainly you) for making me feel very welcome , cheers .
And my o my , i must say the same about your forte , it no longer looks like a forte !, or sounds like 1 either ! , mate that car is coming along nice , stick to it ;) , i love those wheels too and the sound of ya exhaust , nice ;) . Gotta get me some of those blue fluro's for under my seats too ..lol ... And 96.3 rwkw on the dyno wasn't bad at all for a gas/fuel system ( non straight gas ) , nb at all for gas with just the exhaust mod . ..Xr frontend on that now and it would look like a XR , ya that close ..lol ;) .. cheers.

I'll be able to help you out with some of those electrical mods you wanna do, real soon ;) .

As with photobucket ,you have to create a FREE account , upload your pictures , edit your photobucket account to allow anyone to view the pics without a password (only need to do this once ), then post the links or images from your photobucket account .

Hi guys

We were really glad we made it over, although quite late. We were really keen to meet Glenn and co to see what we are going to do with our car. It was also great to catch up with a few, such as Mark, Kev, Woosha, Casper and it was also really good to finally meet Krissy! And also to chat a little to Russ, who we dont see very often.

Sorry also that we were too late in getting there, to see Jeff, Nicole and Melz - but we did catch up later in the day at least!

There were some awesome cars there too, looked like a great day and Im sorry we were late getting there.

Had a really good chat to Glenn and things are looking really good with regard to work to be done on my car! Cant wait!

Thanks also to my daughter, Caitlin, who helped by babysitting Toby while Eamon and myself were checking everything out and chatting to people.

Here are some pics I took, just as attachments. Sorry I didnt have more pics, I just didnt have time to take pics of everyone's cars!

XR6-VCT-2000 - I cannot believe you missed me. Unreal!! :(

Right back at you. If it wasnt for the FPV + XR owners Club of Vic allowing us to tag on we wouldnt have the numbers to have this sort of day. We appreciate being invited along to join in and the standard of cars there was exceptional. A fantastic day for sure!

In regard to those vids Spoolman, I've viewed the video of my car, but how do I actually download the vid? Right clicking on the video icon only enables a html download?

For a stockie BF, the numbers were quite impressive! The only thing I've done to it, is put a second air intake into the airbox. Cost me all of $4.50!!!!
