Next 2k cup race day is 28/2 in Taupo. It looks like we can get BB complied giving three cars. BB would be an option for a ride for those who co-own her and have race licences. Sounds like a minor NITT in the offing. We could take a road trip down as well in the P cars. Think about it.
Rooms are available at my residence...

I'm just coming back from Canada for the summer so I don't miss my summer again this year! Hope to see you lads up at HD maybe and for sure at Taupo.

Now, I just have to check my old lotto ticket to see if I can indeed make John mc, Macca and the dude with the nice gt3 offers they can't refuse....

I like/love wide bodies but taking a cutter to a panel like that is vandalism.

Public thanks to Warwick who kindly lent me his jack stands and jack. It was slightly (very) emotional first jack on all fours for me and I made plenty of mistakes (like jacking toward the punctured side first in a narrow garage with Mr Blue inching toward the wall). The procedure for accomplishing this safely and efficiently is something the rest of you veterans have probably mastered but it had me thinking how to jack in the same place as your stand is going to go (thus avoiding debate over crankcase jacking and complications at the front end etc). Well someone beat me to the solution...

Anyone seen or used these before??

Gutted for you Doug.
Squeaky wheel gets the oil. Make sure you get a good pay out for the car.
