Dodgy Day 16/3/2013

Postby Steampunk » Sun Feb 10, 2013 3:03 pm

So boys and girls plans are under way for the return of the infamous Dodgy Day!!!

Sir Magpie has kindly offered his premises for the event as it has plenty of room and amenities, and the location is pretty good I reckon. Makes it accessible for both Brisbane and Gold Coast crews, Upper Coomera.

For the uninitiated, Dodgy Day consists of tinkering with cars, partaking of spicy BBQ, and pretending we know what we are doing and what we are talking about.
As a great man once said: "Marge... it takes two people to lie, one to lie and one to listen" :P

The ratio between mechanical work and BBQ is supposed to be something like 80:20.... but can vary between 50:50 to 5:95 ... hence the term "Dodgy" as there might be no spanners turned at all, and the only grease on your fingers come from the deep frier :mrgreen:

These days are a great way to meet newbies, talk to some old farts, install go-fast bits, replace worn-bits, do some spit-shine, and have people point at things on your car and poke fun until you come stand beside them and they say "hey that's pretty cool, haven't seen that done before" then snigger away. :mrgreen:

What do I need to bring I hear you ask?
At a minimum: yourself
Whatever you need/want done can be done... or at least attempted before we call a tow truck, so bring tools, jacks, upgrade/replacement parts, polish, wax,paint etcetera.

On a serious note, if you can bring just a smidge of picnic fare, ie. finger food & soft drinks, that would be great. I will arrange for people to bring BBQ wings and/or ribs and dodgy sauce.

Who wants to put their hand up to make and bring the nuclear-powered hot sauce?

So if you would like to attend this illustration... I mean... illustrious event:

Date: Saturday 16th March
Time: 10am to 4pm (early/late arrival/depart is A-OK)
Location: Upper Coomera. Please PM or txt me for exact address.


I'm really looking forward to this and hope many of you can make it and this to become a regular event.

Steampunk forgot to mention that there is a pool so if you want to cool down bring a towel. If you want to cook on the BBQ(s) you are welcome. If you can play a guitar I can supply the amp (just bring the guitar as I can't play for sh#t). Heaps of fridge room if needed.

Compressor is available if you want to bring air tools as is a gernie if you need to wash, however no 15 amp socket for a welder (been meaning to do this so I can use mine).

Now I just need to tell my other half about this event :)

Thanks Magpie, your hospitality appreciated!

Hell yes! Thanks for putting the effort in to revive this Andrew, and thanks Magpie for giving us a venue!

I'll bring my soldering and crimping stuff, plus some tools and detailing gear. May as well cover all bases! :lol:

Grant, I'd love to have a good chat about MegaSquirt there, the last one I built was over 6 years ago! I'm sure a few things have changed...

Sounds brilliant! Pretty sure I can be there (and I've got plenty of big jobs to do on the car!) and may be able to drag the other two along.

That was the plan that way if something real dodgy was done on the 16th it could be rectified before the 18th track day. Or the other side of the coin is people get to test there dodgy day mods on the 17th before the track day on the 18th.
