5th January 2003, 03:42 PM
ok guys BAD news....
my boss called me today and told me that i no longer have a job...I new it was coming because i work with farmers and there is just no bussieness with the drought and all...
so this mean that i have to think about the possibility of moving back in with my olds... which is about an hour from adelaide so im going to die!!1
anyways ill get to the point... if i dont have a new job in the next 2 weeks im going to have no choice but to move in with them... so this means that you are not going to be able to stay with me while you are over here
so :devilburn to my boss
anyway ill keep you posted because im willing to do anything to avoide moving in with my olds and yes this does mean selling my car...

Hey,
thats no good.... PLease dont feel you have to have aplace for us... We can find a bed elsewhere if we have to - especially if it means selling your car!!!
And Travis - hope you didnt create too much "attention" going through those lights man, could be very, very costly!

8th January 2003, 10:20 PM
Hey,
Hmmm, yea - are the numbers gonna work? Not sure If I'll hae enough finances to drive my baby over - especially seeing I can only fit one fuel money chipping in person in... But hey, if needed, I can really hit the spending brakes... the old girl may run inmto trouble along such a trip - so I would need to bring all tools, a few spares and a lot of glue! How far is adelaide from here??? About 600-700 kays? Mainly 100km/h highway stuff? If so, I guess thats only about $60 each way (in a loaded up N12, with a very fuel hungry motor!!!) plus about another $60 worht of fuel there... so total of $180 (passenger could chip in a bout $40-$50???, so say $130, plus food ,$190 plus you gotta have access to a few hundred incase of emergency and thats where I'll fall short after paying my stupid rego... Still possible though... Just think she will break down!
Sam
Hairball
8th January 2003, 11:06 PM
The transport workers agreed schedule, lists the distance between Melb. and Adelaide as 729ks
sitting at 100 kays will take us 7hrs and 17minutes :P
mine is at about 6-7 kays per litre.
so I'll need just over 2 tanks to get there.
thats about 100 bucks worth of fuel each way! shit i had better start saving!
Deb! heeeeelp!
I think i might get her dynoed for economy just b4 i go...
tune the 3 grand map down a fair bit.
you should do the same man. (if your taking it)
boostinhard
8th January 2003, 11:14 PM
Hey,
hehe - told ya!!! If I do end up in the back of yours (most likely) I am more than happy o pay a percentage of teh fuel, up back and while we are there... Its only fair man! Plus do you have teh ability with the haltech to make complete fuel map changes? with the microtech (if Im running low on juice and have no money) I go to the Fuel trim page and can alter my entire fuel map up or down in percentages.. Drop it down like 15% (or till you hear pinging, lol) and drive very, very softly. Its amazing how much extra yu an squeeze from a tankthis way.. Mind you, if you wanna race someone or what not, make sure you remember to put it back up to normal!!!

10th January 2003, 09:38 AM
hey guys... just wondering if there is a seat for lil old benrys....
cash fund is dry...
GPexa
10th January 2003, 06:16 PM
ok its sarah cant be stuffed changing login...
well as many of you as possible can stay at my place just bring some shit to sleep on... i have a spare bed and a sofa bed and thats it but you can all squish in somewhere...
Also you im not working at the moment so im really really povo so we might need to go shopping when you get here and buy some food, unless you wanna live off toast and 2 minute noodles while your here.
My house is really small so dont expect a manshion... and its ion a block of units so no wild partys (except for sat night).
If you guys wanna call me when you get to the border or somewhere near there, ill drive up (with warren) and meet you all at Murray Bridge (about 1 hour for adelaide) So that you dont get lost (its not gonna happent thought cos its so small here) I think youll be legends if you get here buy 1 i reckong more like 2 -3 ish. I took warren and i 8 1/2 hours to get back from melbourne and that was with 3 petrol stops and a food stop and not speeding . but ill come and mmet you whenever doesnt matter what time as long as you call me and let me know.
Japanese Motorsport... well what can i say the guys there are wankers!!!!! Yeah they dosome crazy shit to cars but good luck talking to them if you rock up in your exa... theres nothing interesting there but well take you there if you really want to go.
Also are you all up for a night on the town on saturday night... I have a 21st to go to but should be finished ther eby 2ish. My houser is like 5 minutes from the center of Adelaide so driving is no probs it cist 10 bucks in a taxi and with a full taxi thats like 2bucks each or some shit.
So yeah let me know anyways.
P.s Think of other places you wanna go (like the beach.. Strip joints, Brothels, etc.....)
boostinhard
10th January 2003, 10:35 PM
Hey,
sweet - that sounds really, really good! Yeah, dont worry -we are (well I am) pov as well. travis and I were jsut saying we gonna eat $2 worth of fish and chips every night!!! lol
Serious bout JMS??? wow - well I'd still be intersted in going, but I guess it depends on how far away it is and how many people wanna go.
Night on the town/at a place that we can throw a reasonably wild party without upsetting too many people would be great!
Hmmm, other places... Last tmie I saw strippers in Adelaide, they were shyte... I was only 16 at the time though, but you would have thought that would have made tem look better!!! haha
Sam
Miss Exa
11th January 2003, 01:34 AM
yeah i dont think JMS like the exa's very much cos i went in there to ask about getting them to do my exhaust and they said that they dont do them on exa's even though they had just put one on my mates car...
Well the night on the town will be warrens orginisation.. there is a rave on the warren will be going to and i will be heading there after this 21st... i think its like $25 But WELL Worth it, so i quess if you wanna go to that give warren a buzz and he can organise tikets and other shit ;-P
I was Joking about the strippers... also there is a thing called Sky Show on on the sunday night wich is like a night of fire works and shit so we'll try and end the cruise there so we can see the fire works.
cheers

P.S. craigy wagiy no Austin Powers turns on the dirt this time!!!!

hey i am seriously thinking about coming over....
only catch is, i will need car whores, and i am not going to pay for a cent of fuel. anywhere. i give 3 ppl a ride, they pay all my fuel expenses. simple. and believe me, my car drinks fuel like a fukkin V8
now start the "Get Billy to Adelaide for the long weekend" Fund. will take donations over $20 j/k
and i too am interested to know what this 'other shit ;-P' is
BENRYS
11th January 2003, 06:02 PM
hey i feel bad... but i realy don't have any cash... so i wouldn't be able to pay for petrol money... well much of it...

i am a good car washer...

anyway im thinking about using the bmw melbourne courtesy vehicle stickers down the side of our cars
im not into raving but like everyone else im curious as to wat "the other shit" is
benrys no need for a car washer but i tell ya wat
sammy and i pay for the petrol and u can pay for the food
we don't eat much
maybe sammys mum could pack us some lunch
it got shoved down my throat last time lol

13th January 2003, 11:53 PM

his exa has SRDET GT35 ball baring turbo with 15 psi, Front cooler, Aftermarket haltech ECU, LSD 5 speed box, fully adjustable Koni coil overs suspension. (hard as a rock) n15 sss pulsar brake pakage all round. secondary fuel pump (very loud)

By the way guys i said that ill come and meet you at murray bridge...
Well if your getting in that late 2-3ish i dont think its very nessesary for me to drive all that way... Trust me you cant get lost inbetween the border and adelaide...
Instead ill meet you at the end of the highway, when it ends at the start of adelaide, there is a mobil right there at the end ill meet you there and from there its only a 10minute drive to my place so you can just crash, ill get beds and shit ready for you!!!
Trust me there is no way you can get lost getting to the mobil!!! But just give me a call when you get to murray bridge and ill make sure im there to meet you!!!
anyways well talk about it more next week, woho i cant wait!!!!!
