Just decided that will have to happen in the dry. Took it for the first drive back on Melbourne's public roads. They were wet. We almost died :)

Freeway on ramp, sign says 100km/h, so I accelerate gently, somewhere past 80km/h in 4th gear it decides to slide! I wasn't ready for that! Nearly had a heart attack! Went straight to a servo to check tyre pressures, they were fine. Stayed off boost for the rest of the drive.
Obviously it has a bit more power than the 850cc Reliant Rialto I've been driving... :lol:

Lol you idiot.

I lol'd at this "stayed off boost" business.

We had a similar excursion the other night. Left rotor cruise, had merc up my ass.

I should get Marty to check the off ramp they'd be some nice lines there :P

I liked your pictures from the rotor cruise, some really nice cars there.
I could not get to boost without losing control of my car! It must have a zillion horsepower!
Heather said I have become a Reliant driver :( That might explain it...

Also this arrived today:

lol, I know! It's crazy! But four LS1 coils, with proper plugs (no soldering directly to the coil required), for $65! Had to go for it. Did you want a set? They deliver them to our Melbourne metro area for free!
Cleaned up like new and already mounted :D

I still owe u for those coils bro.
My internet banking is closed cause I lost my card (which of course now I have found) so I can't access to transfer.

Ps change the colour of the links in your sig. Gives me a headache trying to read them.

I'll probably be living with you shortly anyway (I'll be giving you a call to discuss this sometime soon), so you can take it as rent ;)

I've changed it now. I'm colour blind, so it's all black and white to me.
