Sydney Dodgy Day - 14 October HUUUUUUUGE :)

Postby Caffeine » Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:02 pm

Howdy All,

I'll be hosting a dodgy day later in the year (probably late september or october) as there's a bunch of stuff I want to do to my car...

New suspension bushes all round

New wheel bearings

Exhaust heatshield repair

Plus the usual brake bleed, new pads, oil change, wash, clay bar, scratch x, polish, wax etc etc.

People are welcome to come along to help, fix their own cars, warm seats, consume beverages etc. I have ample underground parking (5 or 6 cars usually fit comfortably) with room to work on 3 or 4 cars at once.

Who's in?

Hume do good work!

Bevan, we need more blue cars to counter the silvers, running 3 blues to 2 silvers at th moment, although only one of the blues is turbo, compared to both silvers :shock:

compared to two silvers = 4.7% attendance of dodgy coloured ones :shock:


Ratio's may go up if there were to be Wingszzzz :P
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

Caff - happy to address this imbalance! 8)
I vote that Bigdog now has a responsibility to introduce the WINGZZZZZZ to the Caffeinated Cockroach Dodgy Day (CCDD for the "acronymically" challenged amongst us)! :shock: :lol:

Awesome, this will turn out to be good!

The garage next to ours is vacant at the moment, if it's still vacant on the dodgy day we'll have room to work on 2 more cars

Sounds good Caff. Can't wait to see the Rodmeister's new beasty... what have you got??

As an inductee into the curious practice of our northern neighbours' partaking of strange and injurious sauces on their fried chicken, I feel sure that I can adequately improve on their culinary art and offer a unique NSW twist. I'll talk with you closer to the day Caff and we shall organise the necessary makings 8)
