Well, looks like there's going to be 3 or 4 of us - nice and cossy :wink:

If the weather tomorrow is anything like tonight, it's going to be a great run!

See you guys at 1030 tomorrow at Maccas.

Still no work for me so I'll be there
Can't believe it, 3 interviews and a psyc test later and they have decided that instead of giving me a job they will just take someone from another project :cry:

Incase anyone is wondering I'm looking for a graduate position in Civil Engineering

Bad luck Alex.

Maybe there's someone here in that field (or who knows someone who does).

You never know if you don't try right? ;)

Thanks for today guys. Hope you all had a good day. It started off slightly eventful, but I think it settled after that. Can't believe we got caught in traffic twice through the gorge.

And thanks for your patience, when we had to re-calc the route due to google lying to me about the route. Oh well. One to chalk up to experience.

I was very impressed with the new tyres, especially once they'd scrubbed in a bit. Just uploading some pics and will sort out the video.

A slight bit of rear brake binding through the gorge, resulting in a bit of over heating and a fair bit of smoke.

A quick diversion back to mania and all was sorted. Thanks for helping out this morning.

I like the use of the phrase 'a bit'... Remember how I was waving madly at you at the intersection screaming: "your brakes are on FIREEEEEEEEEEEEeeee!"???

Don't forget the boiling coolant as well... LOL - I better get it changed this service

Nice pics & thanks for a great day. This summer's gonna be HOT
