Some people are in both clubs. Others are too lazy to remove the stickers!

Last I checked no one gave a crap about that any more here....
If you're so worried about that might find posting over on another site might be more fun...unless they are over it all too which I suspect is the case.

Glad that your ok now. I really would of enjoyed going on the cruise but i have other issues at the moment which need my attention and i really need to get the EA up to scratch. It hasnt been washed since April and is running terrible at the moment. I just havent had the time to look after it. Once again, im glad you guys had a great time and im looking forward to participating more once i have things sorted out. Cheers, Adam.

Thats it... no more cruises for me, it seems every cruise I go on lately, I break something :P

Last time it was the MAF sensor, and now I've killed my transmission!

Why is V8 stuff so expensive and hard to find? lol...

Got down to moon light head and it was a great run with only about 3-4 cars in our way all the way .

I raced on Sunday ... my 660f time was 8.2 and cleaned up a XYGT by .6sec
Then Snapped a axle ...... as I said at the BBQ .. I think I might break something tomorrow ....
So time for a new diff ... Bigged and Better then before
Some one want a slightly used 4.11 diff with broken axle

You fared better than the XY, was told it was making some unholy noises under the bonnet following the burnout comp!

Sorry to hear about your breakage mate. Its a wicked looking ride and will be even better once you put a bigger and better diff in it. Cheers, Adam.

It was serviced a few weeks back, I checked the trans fluid and it was still a healthy colour and at the correct levels.

Who knows how I broke it :S

Im looking at Preston Auto and Diffs, BTR Stage 1... I wonder what it is worth

I would have to agree its always fun and worth taking the GOR all the way through to Port Campbell, I then usually go back to melb via colac...the handy bit is that its easily done on one tank of fuel.

Will definately go on the next cruise...

thanks. It still has a fair bit to go! I've been priming my sprint kit in the last couple of days, so I'm hoping to get it finished and painted by the weekend. I just had a slight hiccup when I dropped a set of extractors on one of the side skirts, so that delayed it a bit while I repair the damage
