Dan's black coupe

[dansomerville]

Hey, it should be finished by the end of this week, fingers crossed.

I've done quite a bit of shopping this week and last, but more on that later...

Yeah I'm keen for that if I can get it up in Brisbane before then, I was hoping to get down and get it this weekend but I'm getting charged tomorrow and chances are I'll probably lose my weekend 😡

But we'll see, I'll let you know.

Hahaha...you're getting charged? Is this from the ex you were on up north you were telling me about at All Jap day or is this a new charge? hahaha. Damn, I've only been infringed once in my time (and yes, I lost my weekend. I spent it in the fucking kitchens. Sucks hairy balls!) Keep me posted on what punishment you get.
How are you planning to get the car up to Brissy? Are you gonna leave your Forester down home or do you need a co-pilot?
I've got my interview for Officer this Friday so it's back to DFR.

[dansomerville]

Haha yeah same one it's just been drawn out for ages now. Fingers crossed we don't get dicked to much.

I'm not to sure yet, contemplating borrowing a car trailer and towing it up but that's probably a lot of work for the forester and I've got no idea on it's tow rating, I'll have to pull the manual out and give it a read. I don't want to leave the forester down home as I've got some items to pick up next week, so I might bring someone down with me. I'll work it out when I know it's ready and I can get it haha.

Really? that's awesome, best of luck to you. Let me know how it goes.

Saw this on Monday and it just came to mind..

[dansomerville]

Haha yes! That is an awesome setup. I towed the car across town with it and it didn't sit that well, admittedly I did have the car to far forward on the trailer but was to lazy to fix it.

I'm sure the forester would handle it, would drink the fuel but though haha.

[85Kai]

Well, I hope your RSM isn't too much of a doodle basher. Tell me how your charge goes. I just hope you're not off for a trip to Holsworthy.

If you need a co-pilot for the drive then I'm free after 3:30pm each day through the week (I should be finished by lunch time tomorrow).

[dansomerville]

Yeah only ended up coming to an infringement, was heard by our ssm. He didn't really care about it, was more concerned for giving us shit for getting caught. Only got 2 days of extra duty, lost my weekend but oh well, got off pretty lightly.

Yeah I'll keep that in mind, it might come to the point that I may have to go mid week. Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know.

[dansomerville]

So my car's still not done But hopefully this week.. Again. Haha anyway bought a few thing and some stuff turned up over the last couple of weeks.

What's in the box?


A big box of Velo goodies is what.


Pretty much got a GP90 standard size, 4 point harness, mounts and seat mounts.

Also picked up;
-Toyo R888's 205/50/15
-Mocal 13 row oil cooler core
-Bunch of stupidly expensive Speedflow fittings and braided hose.
-There is an Earls thermostatic sandwich plate and a Bride seat rail in here somewhere to.

Peace.

[85Kai]

hahaha...you found some seats! What did they end up setting you back?

Do you think you'll be getting the car by this weekend? I'd love to get this photo shoot done in time. 3 cars together should be good.

[dansomerville]

Yeah I just ended getting one for me, because the passenger seat is in good nick unlike the drivers. Just the standard price $640 I think.

Hahaha, nah it won't be doubt I would have gotten it up here in time even if it was haha of well.

Got a cage, 5 point Safety 21. Couldn't see a downside for the price of fuel to go get it.
