But you guys promised me you'd organise some good weather for Natmeet! :(
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

29th better for me too ...

For the NEWBIES, can someone explain exactly how te day is run? Is it basically just everyone lends a hand on everyone else's car for mods/maintenance?

But don't forget: no freeloaders. This ain't no free mechanic shop. You want work done for you, expect to get your hands dirty.

Or like the last time, you stand around talking for ages about your cars and then think, better do some work the days half gone :lol: . Are we changing another bushing for you Rod?

Hmmmm ... been to one dodgy day in Brisbane, well Gold Coast really, and 3 people, including the car's owner, worked on Boag's car, whilst a dozen others stood around eating wingz, drinkin beeah, and tellin lies.
Then when the day is almost done, and Jules (whom organised and held the event) had to work on his own car, we all stood around and watched. :mrgreen:

Oh I don't know. You too seem to be making a good fist of some charming "man" love there even with the seat in place. I'd hate to see the next shot when you find the seat is actually more comfortable :shock: :shock:
