If anyone has any problems with this I need to no ASAP. There are still a few rooms available so if youd like to come I should still be able to arrange something.

MEETING POINT:

Melton West MCDONALDS
crn of Coburns RD and Barries RD
Meeting at 6:00am for a 6:20am Dep

That should give us plenty of time to get to Adelaide. We should arrive at 3-3:30pm at the latest, with 2 stops on the way.

How does that sound for everybody.

I am now staying with a friend, so my room is not needed Joel. Thanks for your dedication man.

Some slightly worring news today.

My car is still down at G&D getting retuned after getting it back from the panel shop on Friday.

The car continues to go into Limp mode and they are having trouble finding the cause.

Hopefully it can all get sorted before Friday or I'm going to have to pull out.

FINGERS CROSSED yet again this year.

Take a cricket bat with you and tell them it better be fixed by friday.

I am also bringing my GPS to find our accomadation in SA. Has the motel have a swimming pool? so we all can bring our bathers with us.

If you dont come could you let us know all the addresses for the motel and where the show is.

CHEERS

There's not much they can do. It's not there fault that it's doing this. It's something the guy who replaced the heater core did. It shouldn't be to hard to track down. Hopefully they get someone from Ford out this morning to run a diagnosis on the car then they can track down the problem.

Here's were we are staying

Forcast for Adelaide

Sat 38 deg
Sun 39 deg.

Sorry John I don't think theres a pool but we would only be about 10mins from the beach.

montyv8 · 05-03-2008, 08:12 PM

Hey guys, good to see a few of you are heading over again this year.. hope the guys that are having issues can get them sorted

I know I left this stupidly late, but I'm trying to organise an AFF banner or similar for our forums display. If I can arrange it, would one of you be able to bring it over and take it home again?
No worries if its a hassle, I should have sorted it ages ago..
Cheers

Redrum · 07-03-2008, 06:05 PM

Clutch, this word in my dictionary's definition, are words I cannot type here. Nothing but grief!! I feel for you mate, I have done a couple and wasted thousands, I should have just bought an auto. Next time.

Yeah I think the same sometimes, Oh we'll. We know what were getting into when we mod our cars and we have to pay the price.

No shortcuts this time, this clutch will be very tough.

Joel

What exactly are you using? Are G & D doing the install etc?

Jeeepers · 07-03-2008, 08:03 PM

Sorry to hear Joel, you certainly have been copping it rough mate. You'll be missed buddy. Without sounding cold, will we have any cover at all with us? Looks to be a 39 degree day Sunday.

GTPOWR · 07-03-2008, 07:55 PM

Sorry to hear the bad news mate. Do you know what the name of the street is for the car show?
Also what name is the motel booked in under and did you hear that theo has just pulled out. Only 4 cars are now going. Is kev staying with us or with a friend?

Cheers

BIG JOHN
