Lol I remember that run we had against each other, I was half way down the 1/4 and you were still spinning!! You launched very aggressively on that run.

looking at the logs you didnt change at 6100rpm which is the optimal shift point according to Mike@n54 and Terry B. I actually redlined every gear most of the time to see if something different would help me but in the end it was always producing the same time.

AAAHHHHH good so your considering it. I bought my 135 from Melbourne and drove the car back to Sydney. It was a nice 11 hour drive.

BBK · 06-08-2011, 11:33 PM

Long time ago us 1addicts considered having a NSW/QLD meet somewhere inbetween, like Coffs Harbour but it never happened. I'd be up for a Sydney trip!

It's ok Edwin, we can handle the jokes from new south welshman, as long as we have the trophy you can say what you want... and since we've had it for 5 years already...

I finally gave up watching State of Origin this year after not missing a game for at least 12 years.

Yep, well said Richard. Halfway is fair.
Matt call me when you arrive at Coffs.

BMW86 · 06-09-2011, 12:14 AM

I would be down for a half way meet... actually I'd probably go all the way to Sydney if there was a decent plan! I can't get enough of driving this car.

Btw, QLD ftw!

I feel the same Vinney. Everyday I can't wait to get in my car and drive. Sometimes I wish I lived about 1 hour from work and there was no traffic.
What the hell are we gonna do in Coffs Harbour? Any dragstrips there?
I guess it's a nice place for a cruise.

Orlin · 06-09-2011, 12:27 AM

Nah I think it would just be good to meet everyone and relax over a meal and a beer or two

Sounds quick but had a good look at my slips and theres a lot more potential for a better ET. I hope I make some more progress next time because my first run was my quickest ET last time so was a bit disappointed.
