When u live in a sunny place full of shady people its quite a stark contrast. Not a puffed up outlaw mc club member to be seen.. It's sooooo refreshing.

Sitting here at the Gold Coast...it's about 22 degrees...I'm trying to cool down with a rum and coke after cleaning and packing the Cobra...and you're in front of a bloody FIRE.
It's hard to imagine how the temp can change so much in only a days drive away.

I remember one year leaving the big heavy warm Cobra jacket hanging in the closet at the Gold Coast because it was 31 degrees when we were getting ready to leave ...

and a day later watching bloody SLEET bouncing off the windscreen of the Cobra as we were approaching Goulburn...me whinging like a little girl.....whilst wearing ALL my other clothes, including two pairs of socks on my hands...but minus the nice big warm Cobra jacket.

On ya Goulburn !

Gotta love the Nats road trip!

This year...roof and a heater....
probably be 25 degrees in Goulburn on Thursday !!

See you soon guys.
Warren

Spook
If I get the heads back from maching today, a couple of late nights might get the Cobra on the road. If not, Mustang it is. Either way looking forward to a fun weekend.

Cheers

Ok all you lucky (bastards) people.
Tell us what times your pulling in practice.

I have seen Mads on Facebook claiming 1:07.3

For those of us stuck at work and too hard to get there to watch, let us live vicariously through your stories.

Never liked that little upstart....

I think conditions would be perfect today. Track should be nice and clean after some rain and weather is beautiful here (Im 90 minutes north). I think you are going to see some very quick times.

Yeah, I did a 1:07.2 today. Was fairly happy to say the least! Amazing how much of a difference a few small changes to the car make!

Awesome weather at the moment, pretty much perfect. I think that on sunday we could see some record breaking lap times.
