Club Run on the 18th

The VW Club is having breaky at Fast Eddys Carousel from 8-10 on the 18th.
Why not start there with breaky then do the hills run ........ I start work at 7am so can't do either .....bugger

VW club are manly aircooled VWs and they drive slow. Im not planing to loose my license on the way there, but i still wanna be able to have a spirited drive. So i'll be in ozzy park

[Mr R32]

Osb' Park for me...

I had a flat tyre yesterday morning and i tried using that glue crap that comes with the car instead of the spare. And guess what, it didn't work!! The tyre is still flat, there is no jack so i can take it off and try to get it repaired. Unbeliavable!! so if i don't get this fixed by sunday, i don't think i'll be able to make it with my car. I'll probably tag along with the BMW club, my friend is going with them.
does anyone know where i can get a second hand 225-40-R18 tyre? I have some new ones on the way, but it might take a month for them to arrive

DOH! good luck getting it fixed...

what new tyres are you getting?

[runamuk]

I'm not sure I can make it this weekend either...

The VR6 is getting a new sump and heater core put in it.

Oh come on, its not like they will be working on it on sunday!

Im getting Yokohama Parada Spec-2s from US off www.tirerack.com They are much cheaper than here, goodyear Eagle F1s (OEM for MK4 R32s) are US$180 and here you will be paying A$400 min

[runamuk]

Yeah, but it might be sitting in Golfwagen with the whole dash taken out.

one of the guys from Ozaudi just bought 4 tyres from tirerack and shipping was $186

heres the thread where he demonstrates the whole cost including customs import duties etc. Still saved himself a fortune

and to answer your final question on that post... you do need to! (well everyone I know thats imported a car has had to)

if you bring a car in from O/S yrself, I dont believe it is necessry to fit new Oz supplied tyres as part of the local compliancing - can anyone confirm this?

[zedub]

and back on topic... so are we still meeting up at Osb Park, or should I just follow ECCA/BMW club

[Mr R32]
