Hi All,

Could someone kindly please post or PM me the bank details for the entrant payment. I can't seem to find them anywhere and I need to make the payment by tomorrow.

Thanks,
Sime

Sorry everyone I'm out. Issue with engine. Busted my nuts to get car good and reliable for this year but someone forgot to tell me I needed to address my engine too. The silver lining is that had I not caught it the issue would have been far greater and now I can change cams and pistons and de compress it a bit. Plus I then can change fuels as the $8 a litre stuff I've been using was kinda exy.

Kim I've sent the treasurer@nsw an email to advise. Have a great nats everyone and drive safe and have fun.

Matt

Sorry to hear that Matt. I'm sure you were as keen to have a real good weekend just as much as we were keen to see that beast in full flight again.

Geez Matt,
You've certainly had more than your fair share of a crappy run of luck over the last few years with that car.

All the best for next time.

Yes it hasn't exactly worked out that this years Nats was to begin its newfound reliability phase but the engine is the only thing left relatively unchanged in spec since its arrival. I will now de-stress the engine a little which will again contribute to the bigger picture of overall reliability. Ole number 6 has a new name....adversity! Cause I have to face the pharken things issues all the pharken time!

But that's Ok, its a great car..Im just curing it of its cancers 1 by 1! And well..... Im still smiling.

Checked my brake pads yesterday - I think I'll get some new fronts to be sure.

Just checked the 14 day forecast - Cool but no rain. I can handle that. :-)

Get your entries in asap folks - best time you can have and great value.

Dave is your car a roller? Maybe you can hop in and we can get a bunch of us to push you around? You'll still be quicker than Greggy.

Is 'nobble' plural for having two nobs in the car at once?
