Well after a very long weekend down in the sun, to say it was awesome is an understatement!
I hadn't been down to this event for a couple of years & it has grown HUGE!
My friends were there for 3 days & 2 nights & I stayed for 2 days & 1 night & wish I had of gone down with them for the extra day & night.
They had a hotel room right on the main drag & just kicking back drinking jack stubbies watching the cars & people roll past was relaxing as hell!
The night life went off & was crazy as, incl. the late night pier nude jumping (which I missed out on! DOH!) haha More of that for another time.
There were heaps of cars & even more people & I'm pretty confident there would of been something there for everyone!
My highlight was Dom talking me into entering my car to get some track time.
& it was awesome fun!
So with Nick (Dom's dad) as my co-pilot after helping hotwiring a hotrod & Josh & then Dom as passengers it was time for some fun! LEGALLY! haha
At first I copped all the usual heckling like "they'll let anything in here with chrome bumpers!" or "You've got to be kidding me! A VW!" & a few more!
But after a couple of pitlane exit powerskids, the crowd turned around & started pointing & grabbing there mates as we came around again! haha
The car performed faultlessly through out the entire weekend (except for a crappy thermofan earth connection which caused alittle bit of overheating! Damn 76er's earth connections!) incl. the 8 hour round trip to & from home.
I still have the ignition would up to aggressively, & pings when hot & in 3rd, but it can still crack on & turn you into a giggle fit.
I only went out for some fun & a bit of a **** stir with some fast muscle car's. Not many people had a bite, but it wasn't long before people were all turning there heads & giving a few thumb's up to us out on the track!
I tried it on with a friends 12 sec turbo'd falcon & he didn't take the chance. In all honesty, he would have flogged me, but he was still alittle weary about it!
I think it was the rolling 50+km/h powerskids! haha
Now all I need is another power upgrade. I'm thinking more than double the output of whats its got!
Anyway. On with the pic's
I got alittle bit artistic with my camera. I got it for xmas. Its only a point & shoot 12megapixel Olympus Optio S12
some pics are alittle average, cause of people walking around everywhere & you just had to get in & take the pic & move on.
