Carlson

Ha ha ha.
It wasn't me this time WABIT!
I think I've broken a sparkplug due to the 8700+ missed gear.
Spluttered all the way home under load.

Can't kill it!
1.8 8V = Bulletproof

It was nice to meet up with you Andrew & spend time talking (top bloke! Hope you enjoy the CD) & the rest of the watercooled crew, new & regular's.
Also to gtigrl & Justin, it was a bit of a coincidence to meet you the night before too, & look forward to future meeting's.
Goodluck & enjoy Sandown to all of you & post up some pics.
I've never seen so many MK5 GTI's, Polo GTI's & R32's in the same place at the same time before.
MK2 GTI if you have any drama's with the 20V, send us a message. Try & find a old RH diesel engine mount & cut the injector pump bracket off!

I hope to be in it next time. I hope!

Thanks a lot Carl, and well done on the win!!!
*applause*

I apologise for not making the gtg at albert park by 6pm, I gave myself 30mins from Camberwell...

The karting action was awesome, and I was able to notice huge differences as the race went on. I was a little bummed out when i got passed twice on the flashing yellow lights in the first race. I was taking it slow after being warned in practice, and then I get passed. I also wish my helmet had a visor as i nearly went blind with dirt and wind. It would be nice to have a break between races, but time=money for those guys.

I look forward to another go karting session sometime!

Sounds like you guys had a ball. How did Andrew go ??? good to see a good meet up have to come over one day and have another karting night. any pics?

Whats all this about Carl winning..... Just because he had the fastest lap time (consistency is the key).
It says on my sheet that Me and him came equal first.. dont make me take photos and post them up to prove it!

Yeah im a sore loser... lol

[BlackVr6ix]

fantastic night, had a ball. those carts really could drift!

[ausgolfer]

Worm you know I had you anyway, and yes I was consistently quicker ha ha, Kept losing my advantage when the yellow lights went on. I led for 43 of the 44 laps of the two races.
Equal first my eye. Who has the trophy!! Yes I'm a sore winner ha ha!

Challengers are welcome to rematches.

[BlackVr6ix]

Yes I'm a sore winner ha ha!

I'm just sore!

[ausgolfer]

Yes my back pain is not very fun!

[gtigrl]

Yes my back pain is not very fun!

Hey ho folks, thanks for a great night racing, I bet no one can compete with the golfball size bruises I now have on my knees thanks to being to small for the b*$&&y seats and too light to keep the blasted thing on the ground.... pics to follow just to gross you people out

As far as Sandown what a fantastic day, turns out I drive my actual car better than a go cart! Did 4 laps of Sandown (after some obligatory safety stuff) with a former racing driver (forgot his name) and got the polo up to about 190km down the back straight, what a rush! Well worth the money... pics to come soon of that as well.... as well as some motorcana style sections, go to whoa and control stopping and swerving blah blah blah.
Right I am knackered now so time for a drink

[worm]

I smell a rematch in the air

Did you flash those lashes at the other gti drivers today Elaine? Think I was too focused last night.

Nah everyone was too focused on their own cars

[gtigrl]

Ausgolfer I believe this is your fault
