Rabs Jtg Lpg Fg 320+Rwkw Diary

[Franga]

Didn't realise you had already been Rabs. Glad to hear you had a ball. Any vids?

[hawlass]

170 in the wet, big nuts on that bloke, well done.

Gotta love the BlackVue, have the same unit myself.

[Rab]

197 was the best I found browsing on the dashcam

 

Will get round to pulling my best lap of the day off the footage and putting it together

 

Nothing special, but will at least give me a record of the day.

[Box stock T.]

Sounds like a good day had by all. 

We went to a practice day at Mallala a few months back. Went to watch the boss take his BMW 325i for a run. 

Got me pretty keen to take old black betty out for a run. Might wait till  I do a DBA and ms 400 package before I head out though. You guys are lucky to have Sandown for track days.

Mallala is a small and puss track. 

Still would be fun though. 

[Puffwagon]

Lemme know when you're heading up and I'll come up too.

[Box stock T.]

Do deal puff. Be good to catch up, plus your only down the road from the track

Since you said you live in Mallala. Or near by. 

[Rab]

Am dying to get to the Island now - have had the bike round there, can't wait to give the car a go.

 

Sandown was great and definitely going again, but the dozen or so surface changes, patches and the rivers of water made it bloody hard in the wet to really give it a go where I was confident at all.

 

Finally put together my best lap into a video (excuse the stutters between file changes - haven't worked out how to use the software properly yet)

Very cool Rabba, looks like your on a

top ten shootout lap with the whole track to yourself.

I see the rivers you had to deal with. Pretty good effort for a first timer and the fact ya have to drive the car home. Unless you took it on a car trailer. 

[Rab]

Nah - drove there and back. Did remember to take the baby seat out of the back before I headed there though

 

Didn't bother playing with tyre pressure or the shocks - figured I had more than enough to worry about for the 1st go.

 

Was never comfy with turns 2/3, nor the approach to the main straight - slippery as anything. The rest was just very tentative

[Rab]

Didn't know whether to post here or in the WMMFGT thread, but here is more fitting.

 

Bought the car 4 years ago (1% finance over 48 months. (<$40k for specced up Limited Edition)

 

Final payment went through today.

 

I've spent the last 4 years keeping the car stock standard and only ever driven it to church on Sundays.

 

Finally I can get a tune put into the car, take it to the drags, take it round the track and let it loose on some curvy roads  

 

Damn I showed a lot of restraint til now.
