How much you want for it?

$50?

I have a Bee-R Rev limiter that I can sell you? Does everything you are asking and has adjustable gain so you can adjust how hard or soft it limits. Surely it could be modded to work?

I can confirm it creates savage backfires/flames/lolz 

That right there is a perfect place to practice your technique! 

Mazda v6 vs BMW inline 6? I think they would probably be a good match in a straight line

There was a couple of times that I i thought I had gone too far but good old e30 held on. Also I was born sideways, seriously. 2 months premature and I was cut out because I was stuck at full lock.

The beagle would love the 400m sprint, surely the 4 wheel drive would help you launch?

That's good to know about the cotton overalls! Does the helmet need to be full face? 

@ThePog I may be able to get my 12 second's back on the sprint haha

@DB8-TypeRI don't suppose you could get me his number so I can fuck him.

Fixed

Usually no overalls/helmet needed with the grass events, even then it's no biggy to sort those items out

I've never been one to calculate fuel economy, but I thought my 4-af (carby) powered corolla was sweet with fuel, until I lent it to my mum... who managed to get 580kms from a 40L? tank. 

She's a very cautious 80kph driver.

Not related but that reminds me of the last car I lent to her, 98 Passat that I would thrash/limmy bash all day long. She borrowed it and drove it at 80kph... it spun the camshaft keyway and blew up on her hahaha

Alright so our next meet will be Thursday the 31st of August. 6pm at the good old moutere inn. I must say the location seems to be working out quite well, it really is a great little pub.

I will try to get some photos now that there's a little more sunlight in the day.

Oldschool Nelson has also been asked if we would like to do a meet with the Nelson Car Club at a motorkahna or grasskahna event. A few of us have been to a couple of these events and its great fun! So whats the general consensus on this? Are you guys and girls interested in hooning your oldschool car? or any car/work truck for that matter.

Awesome trucks!

This is my brother in laws G60 in Geraldine which is in great unrestored condition and it's his daily, I'll ask him about any leads.

The whiskey for tonight is Talisker Dark Storm, The colour is golden amber and the nose has an instant interesting mix of rich, earthy smokiness (this is reminiscent of coal tar soap or freshly laid tarmac), bittersweet malty cereals and barley sugar.  The smoke catches the nostrils and has a peppery chili-like edge to it.  As these aromas fade a little, others come through - think of vanilla, honeycomb, caramel, fresh green apple, sultanas and a hint of candied orange and brine.

On the palate, this is initially quite acrid and slightly bitter with a woody, almost charcoal-like edge.  the result is drying and the similar peppery chili note from the nose exaggerates this.  These notes are again reminiscent of hot tar, as on the nose, and wet earth.  After this first blast, the whisky develops in an interesting way and just in time too.  Some much needed sweetness comes through in the form of butterscotch, vanilla, golden syrup, malted barley plus some dried fruits (think especially of raisins, sultanas, candied orange and apricots).  Two lovely notes appear towards the end and work well hand in hand with the others present - salted caramel and toasted nuts.  A final sprinkle of earthy ginger powder completes the jigsaw.

The finish is long and smoulders away for ages.  The initial sweetness (the barley, honey, syrup and fruit) fade first, followed by the notes of salted caramel and toasted nuts.  It is the warming, acrid and spicy smoke that lasts longest.  This has an ultimately drying effect, which makes you want to reach for a sip of water or another sip of the whisky.

Haha these reviews always crack me up!

See you all tonight

With the electronic discussion some of you older folk need to remember that when you were roaring around in your Kingswoods, Cortinas and Triumphs, The next generation of hoons were getting into the cars with early electronics (Fx-Gt, Sigma turbo, pulsar turbo etc). So we have grown with electronics as they have progressed and it doesn't seem so daunting to us.

Aren't Holden's called Vauxhall's in the UK? 

Good call Alex, burn em all!

Our next meet is at the Moutere Inn on Thursday the 27th July at 6pm.

It's whiskey and cigar night again so dust off your whiskey jackets and come along.

I'll definitely participate in the whiskey but not so much the cigars this time, I didn't really enjoy the after taste. 

See you all there!

E30 ..... still single haha

Will pretty much nailed it. My tenancy agreement came up the day, which made me realize that I haven't touched the LTD in 6 months (other than running my hand down her body lines as I walk down the shed). 

If you were to trim down on your projects, what would you sell? I get the impression that your wife's Caddy is your least favorite car? 

I would be happy to take the toyota hemi off your hands Hahaha. 

@Willdat? maybe you could change your bike wheels to modgies to get Alex's approval?

Yea untill........ the battery exploded in it and sent acid plastic all directions. How do you know him?? Fishing?

Hahaha sounds about right. Oh shit that's right, the battery was inside the truck wasn't it?

I met him through a friend, but we do have marine engineering in common.

Definitely a great guy with plenty of knowledge. 

@moparmuppet would you be interested in doing a meet in your shed one day? It will only be members that are here, not posted on fb.

Oh I've seen inside Vaughn's sheds, it's filled with cool shit. Even blasted around the paddock in a pajero that has more rust than it has Mitsibishi. 

Good times!

I shall ring Phil Collins and see what's in the air tonight. Is that both Saturday and Sunday?

What Alex said.

Thanks all that came along, I'm glad the location worked out! 

That group was probably from the FB event, I shall say something on the next event about coming in and joining us. I didn't expect them to set a table aside for us but that was definitely a bonus.

See you all at the next meet, I'll update the details soon

I just got off the phone with the Moutere inn, this Thursday is whisky and cigar night but is generally pretty quiet for them, the last Thursday of every month works well for them also. 

I'm quite looking forward to this!

I shall see all you guys and girls there!

**Edit**

Tonights whisky is Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated.

Most excellent! I did ring them but my phone microphone is so buggered that they couldn't hear me.

See you guys in a couple of days!

I shall ring them after work and see if we need to bring our thinking caps.

Yes I used a E34 sump in my E30 and yes I chopped it and winged it after an ass puckering moment with terra firma. I posted that before I had modified the sump so if it was available I would have made a steel version.

There is definitely a market out the for low profile M5X sumps

Right so as previously discussed our meets will retreat to the warmth of New Zealand's oldest pub, The Moutere Inn.

This will be held on the last Thursday of every month with our next one on the 29th June

I think 6pm is a good start but of course anyone can just turn up when they can.

There will be Beer, Banter and Sharns so come along and join the fun. We can discuss any upcoming events or organize a weekend drive from there

Chur!
