Whats plans for the weekend people?

I'm going to my mates 20th bday party on Saturday nite. Its starting at a bar just outside of the Opera House overlooking the Harbour.

Apart from that, I got a ridiculous amount of uni work to do between now and the middle of next week

How about yourself, spend some more time working on the car??

Yeh study the guide. I think I already told you this at the last cruise we went too but - there is stuff you will be tested on which you can only know by studying the guide. No normal person will have those facts in their heads already.

ie; If your coming off a side road and want to the other direction side of traffic, how many seconds do you have to leave for cars coming on your right and how many seconds do you leave for cars coming on your left. I think the answer to that was something like 3 & 4...

Stupid tests, ordinarily I'd laugh at them but they do have a few valid questions in there.

Bad thing about Ecutek tune - Absolute dog to drive when cold! For the first 1k until she warms up a bit. and it's not just mine, was chatting to another bloke with the same mods, he has the same issue. How's yours to drive in the morning Ams? Sraight after turning it on. And my clutch isn't slipping, i thouht it did it once, false alarm. Tested it last night against a new S5 V8, fair to say the business man driving it got embarassed. Got a big weekend planned. We have to vote tomorrow morning Then i have my first Footy game for the season. Then i'm going out Sat night for a Birthday. Then another Birthday/Pub crawl on Sunday lol.

I d/l'd it around the same time you got your blacks Shiv but i keep forgetting to read it! Now ive booked the test i think ill get the motivation!
Cant wait to have no p's! Such a hasstle. Especially when your Mrs has already had hers for over 15 months!

[Shiv]

^Now that sounds like a good weekend! I particularly like the part about quad biking Will you make it to the dunes with them? Being on the blacks is great because you can finally look down on those bloody P-platers

[Morgan]

Cant wait for quads
Heck yes we will be going to the dunes!
$120pp for around an hrs driving but well worth it
I rekon its a business worth getting into...
Ive got a group of 17 guys going up at $120pp = $2040. Then they have 4-5 sessions PER DAY!!!! = ~$10k every saturday!!

Obviously subject to how many are in each group and how many sessions are booked each day

Wow yeh that is a lot of money I bet you the local council charges them a heap for the privilege of having that business on their turf though...

But good value, yes

Do you know how much the permits cost for driving on the beach? The one and only time I went their, I didn't bother going to the servo and getting one...

[Morgan]

For a day pass i think its about $15? Last time i got the longest one which cost about $30. Weird system though, they have passes that all finish on the same date eg. 09/10 pass expires on 30th June 2010 So if you got it on 1st July 2009, you have a whole yr for $30 But if you got it on say 1st June 2010, you pay the same but only lasts a month. Something like that anyway i think?

Pretty reasonable...

Most of the people who do it regularly can afford massive suspension modifications and bullbars that cost $x,000's.

I didn't get the permit because I didn't think I'd make it 100-meters. I eneded up making it about 500-meters down though, haha. Managed to drive past a stranded x-Trail

[Morgan]

Haha doesnt surprise me! Ive heard of an x-trail dying at stockton and was with another one when the clutch burnt out. They're ok for a softroader ... on the road. Take them anywhere other than gravel and they start to struggle! I wanna take the Outback on some hard sand and take some photoshoot. SC beach cruise?
