Dyno Day

[twilightprotege]

well since no body has started a thread on this, i will.

someone in sydney please find out available places/prices/dates (preferably saturday i guess).

how far away shall we look? poll has months....

let's get this topic moving....and sort the boys from the girls....

[twilightprotege]

ps - pls make this a sticky post

pps - i vote june ;) plenty of time to get the exhaust done and dyno tuned....and my secret weapon mod ;)

[platypus]

i like it then , that way the weather is cooler, and june is when i think about the next tax refund, and next load of mods!!!

so andy i hear the faint callings of ........ NNAAAAAAAWZZ!!!!

or haltech i suppose

[twilightprotege]

funny you say haltech....my mate's father in law has his e6k for sale....used once, didnt like it so he bought a motec (more money than sense) .... for sale for $600. but that's not my secret...

[platypus]

$600 eh? if i wanted/ could afford that atm i'd jump on it... but i can't , i think jynx is interested in one, but i'm not sure

[platypus]

$600 eh? if i wanted/ could afford that atm i'd jump on it... but i can't , i think jynx is interested in one, but i'm not sure

hey you didn't deny NNAAAAAAAWZZ!!!!

[twilightprotege]

i deny nnnnaaaaawwwwwzzzzzzzzz.

i'm staying na

[twilightprotege]

ps, if we like june .... queen's birthday long weekend. 12th - 14th of june. will give us non-sydney ppl time to get there and home

[Cosmo Dude]

June sounds good. Having a time frame to work to may help to get things done at last.

[BigBoyLemonade]

Where are we going to do it?

[JynX]

$600 eh? if i wanted/ could afford that atm i'd jump on it... but i can't , i think jynx is interested in one, but i'm not sure

No i have one already.

[KittyKatSmack]

Where are we going to do it?

:shock:

Oh baby!!!!!

rotflmao!

:lol:

[Critter]

Well I put August as I should have the boost going on by then :)

I'd suggest Rick Shaw's dyno in the city.

[twilightprotege]

turbo is unfair advantage ;) LOL

[Cosmo Dude]

turbo is unfair advantage ;) LOL

I wasn't going to bring the Astina :lol:

I'd suggest Rick Shaw's dyno in the city

Rick Shaws would be an interesting with my vehicle of choice 8)

Anyway the idea is to do an apples with apples test, not nessesarily find out who's got the most power

[twilightprotege]

exactly. apples with apples.

and who ever doesnt show can shut the #### up

[ezin]

Queens birthday weekend sounds cool! I will take the week of and luv it!
I am just going to leave my car standard!

[Nate]

I wasn't going to bring the Astina



well then i guess i had better get a rotor in my BG quick smart :D

[Critter]

Well as I am going to boost the engine, I don't care much what it does now.

For that matter don't care much what it does on the dyno then either so long as it goes how I want......

[twilightprotege]

just come along for the fun and excitement then chris ;)

[wiredone]

what you doing turbo wise critter?

great you hear its a definite

[Critter]

I'm gonna do a custom T25 instal, Doug.

A good mate of mine has put me on to "his guy" who is pretty clever with these things.
Prepares race cars, makes his own manifolds etc etc and the best thing is, he lives walking distance from my place.

[twilightprotege]

has anyone started to contact dyno places in sydney to book a dyno day for up to 30 ppl (that'll be great) on 12 june???

[Critter]

I'll ask about.....

[twilightprotege]

schweet!!!

[Laser the Amazer]

I'm interested

can't get much interested with guys as fl.com

so would you mind if some "cousins" joined in??

Rob

[twilightprotege]

by all means! just makes the dyno runs cheaper for us all (well i guess)

[JynX]

just keep in mind that you can only put so many cars on the dyno in one sitting.

Probably best to find out how many AGT guys want a run before inviting other parties.

[twilightprotege]

well i was guessing on 30 agt cars running...that's a half day.

[Cosmo Dude]

We will need to verify how many cars we can run in a day and cost per car with the workshop (when we find one). If Twighlight can keep a running tab of those interested on post 1 that would be OK for now but as it gets closer to the day ('bout 4 weeks prior) or the positions fill up too quickly we will need to collect deposits to confirm places.
We will also need a local to organise a BBQ or sausage sizzle and any merchandise from the invited groups.

Any way that's just my 2c

[twilightprotege]

well let's start a list of who's in

[twilightprotege]

yeah preeman, what have you got to loose...james will have the lowest power figures i guess...but it'll give him a great base figure run for when he goes..... *cough* turbo *cough*

[Nate]

just started reading this topic again and it appears i am one the vip list without me knowing but ok ill come down
should be good!!!

[Nate]

can we have a sound off too!!!!

[Nate]

meh, join in, it gives you stuff to know...

i have no real oooh ahhh results that are gonna come up, but i'm doing it, to know the car or something....


i will bring down mums barina so you dont feel so left out :P

[platypus]

yeah, or i could get my sisters excel...

naaa not a good idea, probably overheat on a dyno

[Dazz]

i guess i may come along

[JynX]

dont be a prude dazz you will be there

[Dazz]

ill come along with u to see how ur car goes

[arden]

ill be like preeman80 and watch u guys

[Cosmo Dude]

If we do it properly it will be good entertainment for all,
Those who have something to prove are on the dyno, show us what you've got :D
Those with plans can have a run to get their base line :)
Most important is the gallery to cheer everyone on, it's a strange form of entertainment but Dyno days are very entertaining with a good crowd

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

[twilightprotege]

has anyone asked about a dyno day at a place in syd yet?

[Dazz]

nope but apparently there is one just down the road from me at peakhurst

[twilightprotege]

would you mind checking it out for us all? is it a dyno dynamics?

[JynX]

http://www.dyno.com.au/nearest/nsw.htm

knock yourself out

[twilightprotege]

gee a lot there...

pitty i have no idea where they all are.

where is close for everyone?

[sik astina]

10mins near me at my mums b/f rotary shop :)

video 200sx2 (http://www.unleash.au.com/cars/200SX/200sx(2)_214HP.MOV)

[twilightprotege]

cen he do a kick arse deal? maybe we could turn this into a dyno day / gong cruise???

[pr1mo]

damned shame that my sister has moved from the gong to newcastle but she will still be able to hook me up with some accom im sure :)

the gong is better for melbourne folk too as its another hour and a bit into the heart of sydney and we dont have the issues of getting lost as some of us have been there before!

cheers mike

[twilightprotege]

dont forget the brisbane folk (ie me)

[Nate]

dont forget the brisbane folk (ie me)


ie me too

[twilightprotege]

oh yeah, forgot about you ;)

[Nate]

ill forgive you

[sik astina]

I'll ask about havin the dyno day at the rotary shop and get some prices.

I'll get back to you's sometime this week.



heres another pic and vid's i took

theres been alot of work done since then will have alot more power, still yet to be dynoed
Gareth's RX3 (http://www.unleash.au.com/cars/scrrx3/scrrx3.MOV)

[Aaron]

Sik, Are they a Shootout Mode Operator? or just a'plain' DD workshop?

Shootout would be good as it'll supposedly give a more 'equal' footign to numbers run at any other Shootout facility ;)

A.

[JynX]

Shoot out mode they do all that barometric conversion and **** like that dont they.

If we are mainly interested in figures against each other it doesnt really matter.

Wollongong being at sea level is probably ideal dyno conditions assuming good weather.

[Aaron]

*laughs* Yeah - just a fun day. Never know i may drag Bruce's big blue butt along if the price is right. *ponders*

A.

[platypus]

yeah go on... but if we are gonna get numbers, perhaps we should keep it to astina gt members cars?? (this would make bruce welcome... and we shall debadge him of ford and call him norman)

[Nate]

yeah go on... but if we are gonna get numbers, perhaps we should keep it to astina gt members cars?? (this would make bruce welcome... and we shall debadge him of ford and call him norman)


Ill call my Astina harvey and then we can get 24 months interest free on all mechanical work (HEHEHEHE) ....... ONLY AT HARVEY NORMAN

*conditions apply see in store for details*

:lol:

[platypus]

nate, your more out of it than me!!

[Cosmo Dude]

He's Hardly Normal :lol: :lol: :lol:

I crack me up :roll:

[wiredone]

id run in wollongong if is HAD too...

but seeing i would use half a tank getting there and i wouldnt trust any of the servos for lack of personal experience i dont think id like too...
anyway maybe ill wait till after the rebuild... for all i know well be done bby the time this is organised

[platypus]

doug... stick to BP, you can't go wrong there

[JynX]

I find my car runs better on Optimax and I get 4c off /litre by buying my booze at coles liquor.

Win win situation :)

>>for all i know well be done bby the time this is organised
more then likely :)

[Cosmo Dude]

Mmmmmm buy booze get cheap petrol, deal ;)
Gonna have to start buying those slabs as it's gonna be a three tanker (each way :shock: ) to haul the Cosmo that far. The roads will be interesting as well, Princess Hwy to Cann River then north on the Monaro to Kitty Kountry (takes about 90 minutes for me to get from home to the Hume) then cruse the remainder of the way with some ACT people. 8)

[pr1mo]

i may lap up with you rod :) dont think primette will make it to this one hehe

[arden]

BP Ultimate is the shiznits!
i was a loyal fan of Optimax. but changed recently, i get more miles out of it.
i think Optimax was once the king, but its lost its reliability nowadays.

[Cosmo Dude]

It also helps if you have an EGO sensor attached and programmed into your system.
Oh well the list just got longer...

[twilightprotege]

yep i'm an ultimate boy. much better fuel economy

[JynX]

i may lap up with you rod :) dont think primette will make it to this one hehe

sounds like a smurf

[Nate]

doesnt matter what goes into mine it still drinks it happily!!!!

[arden]

even piss? :lol:

[Nate]

we can always try it i spose

[platypus]

hows this looking thus far???
whats happening? long time no update

[twilightprotege]

waiting on sydneysiders to find a place to have a dyno day and prices etc

[Critter]

One thing is this:
What "kind" of dyno do you want?

For instance: A mate of mine went to the local guy in Penrith who says he calibrates "conservatively". It is the same type of dyno as used at the Final Battle, presumably 'calibrated for "numbers".

At a similar temp and conditions, 4 days apart, his car made 135kw at the wheels on the Tuesday "test" run and 177kw at the wheels Saturday at the Final Battle, same car same tune. Say no more....

So do we want some big numbers or don't we care (as if....)?

[platypus]

critter, big numbers rule,

most importantly is tehre was always gonna be a bit of a show against each other, and as long as the calibration isn't changed between runs, every car will be playing on level ground....

if you had a time trial over a straight road, and then a twisty road of the same distance the times would be slower on the twisty road.. yeah? but if all the cars ran on the same road, you'd be able to find the better car (well driver really !) :mrgreen:

[twilightprotege]

i dont care about the numbers, it's more the comparison i'm interested in.

i'll only ever consider numbers from the dyno place i first got my car dyno tested at. that way i'll always have a base number to refer to.

i dont just want to go to the cheapest dyno place around if they dont know what they are doing. i went to see a few friends cars at a dyno day last weekend. the people basically drove the cars on and went straight into a dyno pull. the place i usually go to puts the car on, does 2 or 3 light pulls to make sure the car is ok and a/f ratios are all good, then they do a dyno pull. that's worth an extra $5 to me no worries.

so to answer your question critter - which ever dyno place knows their sh!t and is cheap.....knowing their sh!t wins hands down compaired to price though.

[Critter]

I'll ask around on that basis.

In the end the number is only ever a relativity, so a dyno will only ever really tell you how much gain there was % wise in doing x modfication and % wise how one car compares to another under the same conditions/day.

The number is only a number......

[Rupewrecht]

big numbers are nice, but the point of this is comparison, so as long as the playing field stays the same thats all that matters :)

[dfvadr]

i dont who gets wat numbers from this because no 2 cars are the same so there for ur playing feild is never going to be level
the only real experince would be all the standard cars pulling different numbers from the factory settings
all said an done it should be good fun 4 all

[twilightprotege]

yep i'm really looking forward to seeing so many astina's and protege's on a dyno run.

on other news, exhaust for my car is all sorted...header goes in for HPC treatment next week and the following week it shall be all sorted.

Just need to work out how i'm going to have the adjustable cam gears accessable so i can get the cams dialed in (1 setting for every day - ie as much low power as possible and 1 for power :twisted: - ie 5000rpm to redline)

[sik astina]

Hey Guys,

About the Dyno Day I spoke to Kev about it and he said about $80 per car which
includes set up and 3 power runs with print outs in kws or hp.

Kev's never had a Dyno Day before and wasn't sure on what the going rate is.

Reason why we haven't organised one earlier is because Kev has been
really busy with the amount of work in his shop.


-Mick

[twilightprotege]

$80 is a bit much.

in brisvegas, the cheapest i've seen is $25 (place where i go - they are one of the best dyno places in brisbane), but most are $30-$35. that is two runs plus a print out

[Laser the Amazer]

surely for a group it would be cheaper then that?

I have been quoted by 2 places $85 and $90 just to have my car on the dyno there

Rob

[twilightprotege]

yeah just for a power run not on a dyno day at redcliffe dyno it's $60. 2 runs plus a print out.

[sik astina]

yeah just for a power run not on a dyno day at redcliffe dyno it's $60. 2 runs plus a print out


why dont u ask them to have a dyno day.

[twilightprotege]

i'm in brisbane

[Cosmo Dude]

I agree with the $30-$35 as an average for a dyno day. To hire a dyno is normally $90-$120 an hour with a trained operator.

[dfvadr]

auto salon was $30
80 or 90 dollares i would rather add that to mods then fatten sum-one elses pocket to turn a few rollers an get a bit off paper

[sik astina]

ok u's can find another place lol :lol: :roll: :lol:

[Snert]

sounds like a move the event to brisbane :wink:

[platypus]

maybe snert... maybe.. i think i must owe you a visit by now

[TDK]

I Can't believe that you guys forgot about me..............How could you!!!!!!!

Anyway, count me in.

[mutek]

should i bring my old mans '98 Porche 911 Careera (non-turbo) :D

[twilightprotege]

has anyone got any prices????

we'll have to start to think about where we might go so we can book in the day in plenty of time

[BigBoyLemonade]

$50 is the going rate for 2 runs with 1 print out at most places

We get the dyno for free in Canberra and then we charge ppl to make a little bit of money for the club. We only charged $20 a run when we do it.

[twilightprotege]

$20 sounds good to me - and to canberra could be a good cruise

[Cosmo Dude]

Canberra is good too. $20 would be exceptional, you could make it $25-$30 if someone wants to organise a BBQ to feed the hungry masses :)

[JynX]

ive seen pictures of what Tony does to sausages.

Oh the abuse.

[twilightprotege]

i'm up for an extra drive to canberra :D noice and cold :D

[platypus]

yep i'm in, just need to organise accomadation, etc.... i can see about accomadation if you want, its jsut gonna depend on where you want to go... small van park, where we can get about 8 in one cabin, or into a small hotel, where its about 4 per room, secure parking, but a higher rate...

let me know who would be interested...

and lets find out if canberra is the place too!!

[twilightprotege]

cabin is good with me. the cheaper the better. more mo to spend on p!ss.

[Nate]

ill bring the tent!! LOL

[twilightprotege]

what isnt your car good enough??? ;)

[Nate]

hmm cant say it would be to nice ... my feet sick out the boot

[platypus]

haha sounds like you;ve done it b4... try passenger seat, tilted back.... now thats pretty comfy, but would rather a ...hmmmm...BED?

[platypus]

lantis where are you??!!! we need a place!!!


please?

[twilightprotege]

coming up to 2 months away. we need to find a place pretty quick

[BigBoyLemonade]

Let me see if the dyno is available first...

[twilightprotege]

schweet! let us know asap. date is 12 june (saturday)

[platypus]

are we there yet?

[Nate]

bump bump .... anyone home ... the date is getting closer and still no booking ... who is organizing this one??? (i wanna go on croozy down to syd-a-ney :cry: :cry: )

[twilightprotege]

^ yeah that.

[BigBoyLemonade]

I spoke to the guy yesturday afternoon and he is going away for the long weekend so thats a no go there :(

[twilightprotege]

poop.

anyone else care to chase up a place for everyone???

[Nate]

redcliffe dyno ... make them come to us ;)

[twilightprotege]

i wish

[Nate]

redcliffe dyno ... make them come to us


i wish


seriously i am willing to organise one up here if everyone wants to crooz up :mrgreen:

[platypus]

i'm keen, just let me know, keep in contact!!!

[twilightprotege]

bumpy bump!

come on sydney-siders. someone needs to pull their finger out pretty damn soon!

i know you lot wont come up to brisbane (appart from ahb11m), SO ARRANGE SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! :evil:

what ever happened to all the interest that started this thread?????

[JynX]

Wiredone is mates with a mechanic who has a dyno I believe. Perhaps he can swing somthing for us. The shop is on the North Side of Sydney.

Any chance mate if you read this thread?

[Aaron]

*nods* is there anyone who's going to pick this up and run with it?

I mean it's possible we could ring a few other dynoshops in Canberra and see if any of the others would be keen to host a day.... The problem is making it worth the guys effort to open p on the long weekend and all that.

With many people coming from out of town the incentive has to be cashola, not potential customers ;)

A.

[twilightprotege]

i'm happy where ever it is.

JUST AS LONG AS WE GET THE NUMBERS!!!!! <---- this is the key. without numbers the day is useless

what about the melbournites???

[platypus]

yeah, but all the same we don;t really want to get gipped

[Dutchy]

Hey guys

Havent been on for a while this this sounds like it would be great fun! :D

See in syd i would already have acomm... and i should be a ble to get work off!

but canberra should be no problem either. the only thing then is the figures $$$ :?:

so yeah pencil me in guys

catchya soon

Dutchy

[twilightprotege]

bumpy bump.

come on guys...someone needs to pull their finger out

[JynX]

Based on another forum, someone should contact SAS in Silverwater.

They are doing a day on the dyno for $45 (2wd) $55 (4wd).

Minimum of 20cars though.

Perhaps someone with an official capacity should contact them? Tony?

[twilightprotege]

lantis or rupe.....waddia think of the above????

[Rupewrecht]

where the hell is silverwater? NSW i'm guessing?

[JynX]

Near the olympic stadium @ homebush.

Pretty easy to find.

where is silverwater (http://www.whereis.com.au/whereis/mapping/renderMapAddress.do?name=&streetNumber=&street=Cit y%20Center&streetType=&suburb=Silverwater&state=Ne w%20South%20Wales&latitude=-33.834275&longitude=151.04608&navId=$0100208520OL9 $&brandId=1&requiredZoomLevel=3)

[pr1mo]

is there anything in aulbury?
would make a good weekend cruise :)

cheers mike

[Nate]

s there anything in aulbury?
would make a good weekend cruise


i cant say i really want to drive to aulbury .... sydney / ACT is far enough for us QLD'ers to go ... let alone moving it closer to mexico

[KittyKatSmack]

Is this actually going to happen or what???

[Aaron]

I think we're stuck for a location to hold it.

I would say Canberra OR Sydney are the go... Personally I would prefer Canberra as I'm way of my allowed kms in Bruce and really really want to put him on the rollers (plays with intake component that arrived from Perth yesterday) and I'm sure Kitty wants a Baseline curve/figure for the MX....

I guess we need to commit the 'out of state' people one way or the other. What is the furthest the QLD people will come... How far are Melb prepared to go?

A.

A.

[KittyKatSmack]

Agreed!!!!

And then we need to do it on a weekend that isn't taken up with something else too.

So what is halfway between QLD and VIC?

How many people are coming from which states?

Who is happy coming to Canberra, who is happy going to Sydney etc.

I have a futon lounge that is available for use, you will have to share it with the cats tho! :lol:

[Rupewrecht]

i'm happy to drive to canberra...maaaaaybe sydney city (but no higher up the country realistically) as it's not that much further.

[platypus]

i'm happy to go up or down, melb is cool for me, but not for QLD

[pr1mo]

prepared togo as far as parramatta

cheers mike

[Dogo]

i reckon canberra. but i dont even know if ill go :?


sydney is a b*tch to get around.

[Cosmo Dude]

prepared togo as far as parramatta

cheers mike
How generous, didn't you want to hitch a ride ?

[Cosmo Dude]

Currently I'm out untill something changes on the job front :(

[twilightprotege]

i'm happy to go to canberra, nate is probably the same, but definately not melbourne (we're both coming from brisbane). i want to be within a 12 hour drive of brisbane at the most (coz we'll be going down and coming back in 1 day)

[Toyboy]

Yous are crazy to want to do that trip in 1 day man :shock:

[Cosmo Dude]

Long weekend.
Friday Organise the day off from work and drive to the location and arrive just in time for a feed and some grog with the other tired travellers.
Saturday Wake with a hangover do the 3S’s and scoff down a greasy breakfast before making your way to the dyno. Meet with the other AGT members and wait for the locals to rise, shine, get their ****e together and turn up :oops: . Have a good day at the dyno before going on a bit of a cruise before grabbing a feed and some grog.
Sunday Wake with a hangover do the 3S’s and scoff down a greasy breakfast before meeting with everyone while waiting for the locals to rise, shine, get their ****e together, hang around and take some pics, drive somewhere else take some pics, until evening when it’s time to grab a feed and some grog.
Monday Wake with a hangover do the 3S’s and scoff down a greasy breakfast before meeting with everyone while waiting for the locals to rise, shine, get their ****e together, hang around and take some pics before heading home. About 20 minutes from home order a pizza and shoot through a bottle shop, go home and colapse in a heap.

[twilightprotege]

^ that's my plan :D except i've already arranged the friday off from work, and might head home on the sunday, drunk-o-meter permitting

and toyboy, the trip in 1 day is no problem at all. sit at 110 all the way from bris to sydney. takes about 9-10 hours taking it easy. have the music cranking, drinking lots of red bull / anything with a sugar overload... it's all good.

[Dogo]

Yous are crazy to want to do that trip in 1 day man


last year i drove to canberra & back in one day ( 10:30am - 7am ) and then went to work the next morning abt an hr after arriving back in melb.

[twilightprotege]

bumpy bump!

[KittyKatSmack]

Hey, would anyone have a problem doing Dyno at $30 a car in conjunction with the MX5 club?

Here in Canberra that is.......

[KittyKatSmack]

Hey Osprey06,

The more the merrier....
My car isn't an Astina anymore and Bruce is a Ford ;)

The great thing about AstinaGT is the community spirit even when we move on past the Astina. It is more about the attitude here.......

And of course there will be some mild competition on Dyno Day to see who and what is running better!!!

The MX5 Club will be sharing the Dyno Day with us, and we may also have some of the FordLaser.com peeps turning up too!

We may have to do this over 2 days, LOL!!

Get in early folks to get your name on the list.

MrShadow: Are you bringing the SP23 or what?

CosmicRod: I sure hope we can "encourage" you to come along too

OddRod: Get your butt down here son!

Critter: I need you here, for purely selfish audiophile reasons ;)

ToyBoy: You better bring that beast down here!

Mik and Leanne: I will be chillin' that champagne!

Dogo: *stacks on hugs* await!

Tony: are you bringing the Eunos out?

JJ: you are so there!

ABC: I don't think we are giving you a choice :lol:

Sabrelli: C'mon, you know you want to!

Preeman: See above!

Rob: I will finally get you a sticker, I hope!

BigMal: Can't let Jynx do all the drinking on his own... and I'm making Vodka Jellies for when we burn meat!



Come on Everyone, this will prolly be more like a combo Dyno and AstinaGT Annual Meet Early.....

Lets Party!

[twilightprotege]

so do i get any early run? and have you found what times the runs will happen etc? is the dyno place near any fud outlets?

[Toyboy]

ToyBoy: You better bring that beast down here!
Unfortunately i wont be making this day,and i dont wana run my car on the dyno as its due for a new timing belt in another couple of thousand kms and and i dont wana chance it breaking while getting the **** flogged outta it on the dyno :wink:

[Rupewrecht]

7. Rupewrecht and Vix from Victoria <-- hope you don't mind me dobbing ya's in


yeah yeah, since we have accomodation ( ;) ) i guess we're coming!

[KittyKatSmack]

When I get more input from the MX5 club, who are doing the majority of the actual organising (I am only doing our end), I will keep everyone informed

As soon as I have
location, information, timing and *something rhyming with timing*
you will have it

[twilightprotege]

james, will you arrange a cabin in a caravan park or something that sleeps whatever? i'm sure there'll be no prob filling it

[KittyKatSmack]

There is a F1 motel next door to us basically......

there is a website....

*Kitty never sleeping at a F1 again! Not enough room to swing a Kitty!! LOL*

[twilightprotege]

yeah they are a bit....urrr....FARKING SMALL!!!!!

'sok kitty we will all come and bum at your house :twisted: :twisted:

[JynX]

that place rod and chris stayed at last time was not too shabby.

Good enough for a sleep.

Think you could get like 4-5 ppl per room. Could be fun :)

[BigMal]

We dont have enough female members for it to be fun dude.
Maybe you and Mik should just get a room to yourselves !!
Are there all night clubs in Canberra maybe I can save $60
and just spend it staying awake !!!

Mal

[Aaron]

*laughs* But Mal you'd probably be up for more than $60 in drinkies ;)


The F1 is possibly bigger than our place... However yes it's next door, for those on a bit more of a budget there's a few motels/hotels that do standby rates that are in the order of a $150 room for less than $100 and stuff like that but you sort of take your chances there.

An F1 is good enough for a sleep, a shower and for $54 a night will provide a double bed and a single bunk. Sort of a voyeur friendly environment I guess... but hey that's $18 each.... Use a sleeping bag and technically you're not sharing a bed with a stranger ;)

We can arrange the order on the day to suit people who want to be on the road in early arvo....

I'd like to think we can burn meat at the venue and so on to keep the group together. It'll also cut some costs out of the weekend. It doesn't take much $$ to put on a decent BBQ for a group. Couple of $$ each would sort it fine.

If we make a big weekend of it (CosmoDude style) then the cost will go up a bit, but I hope we can can cater for all pockets. There's plenty of good photo locations, BBQ spots, pubs etc that do a good feed for not too much $$ and still have good variety.

Any stragglers left on the Tuesday night can experience $5.00 Chicken Schnitzel....

Aaron,
You miss the point. You will be drinking anyway, cmon like there isn't going
to be drinking so if I put all my eggs into the old drinking basket I get
maximum drinking return. Turn up at 9am before checkout time and grab
a quick shower at somebodies place and I will still be ugly but not as smelly.
Better check my roster to see if I am off that weekend before I start setting
myself up for a party and cant go :(

[Whatodo]

twilightprotege,

What are the activities?

[KittyKatSmack]

drive pissed and tripping out again.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

dude....

say it isn't so....

that is very uncool

[twilightprotege]

so kitty, any confirmation on the day yet? like it's a definate goer?

[KittyKatSmack]

nothing yet..... we still have plenty of time.....

I don't want to start nagging them yet because
a) am not a paying member of the club yet
b) don't want to be rude

I'm sure they will get in touch sooner rather than later.... or I will hunt them down at place of work :)

so for now, we stay relaxed, keep breathing......

I will get something sorted......

[twilightprotege]

cool,

thanks for organising this kitty :D

[BigMal]

FYI Kitty,
Have been pulled over heaps coming home from a night out and never
been over the limit. Not driving obviously means can drink more thou !!

[pr1mo]

[twilightprotege]

i havent seen him around here lately actually....

[ABC]

Have an exam scheduled for (get this....) the monday of the long weekend! so depending on the timing and my study arrangements (ie. none :mrgreen: ) I might be able to make it.

I'm supposed to be moving house that weekend as well so that might throw another spanner in the works as well. Was supposed to go to a sailing regatta as well but had to cancel that too. :?

Car is running pretty poorly at the moment and is in desperate need of an oil change but you never know your luck. I might make it! :D

[pr1mo]

kitty....whats happeninggggg!!!!!!

[twilightprotege]

kitty???

[KittyKatSmack]

sorry y'all, some real life drama's have taken priority recently......

I haven't heard anything yet, I haven't been able to get in contact with the guy since that first meeting at the beginning of May.

I will either be catching him on the cruise today, or will chase him down on Monday at his place of work.

People, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HEAR MORE!

Please don't nag the Kitty? Am having a really tough time with things atm and struggling to cope. Just gimme a break ok?

[Cosmo Dude]

Thanks Kitty. The info will come when it comes, most important that you take care of your self. Hope to see you (and every one else on the long weekend) ;)
