[[TUFFTR]]

[nixxss]

Don't know how i missed this thread seeing as its my car you're picking up.. haha

Anyway, yes TE is in Westmeadows. Not sure what my plans are friday nite, but unofficial son in law is leaving for Samoa. I have all tools needed to replace starter motor including little stands but remember car is lowered.. If u guys need anything prepared, please let me know.

[[TUFFTR]]

Nixxss, That'd be great, was going to bring my 1/2 tools anyway to install the starter, Should I bring a jack too?

[nixxss]

i will have the VRX there plus a few other cars most likely so no.. Selling the TE with jack and spare wheel.. how nice am i? :)

[[TUFFTR]]

hahaha all good mate, I might bring the jack just in case.

[Zahrim]

we'll be on the road to melbourne in about 20 Hours, you have been warned :badgrin:

[HRD2GT]

[Life]

;1244799']hahaha all good mate, I might bring the jack just in case.
Haha nice, we are bringing 2x 1/2 and 1/4 Sidchrome and 1x 1/2 and 1/4 Stanley set... If we don't have enough sockets sets we are in trouble :|

Also loaded up some nice wooden blocks to chock it up, I think the jack and stands are getting thrown in too!

[[TUFFTR]]

Well, will be interesting to see what fuel economy a magna gets carrying almost 3T of extras Ha.

[TJTime]

hey guys, where are we putting our bags and shit if the boot's full of jacks, wooden blocks and socket sets??

Oh yeah, i claimed shotty for the trip with brendan!

[Boozer]

you know all that equipment exist in melbourne... we CAN bring them along, i myself is happy to lend out if i cant make it (due to work), my collection consist of a 1/2" set, a pair of jack stands , 1 jack (2000kg capacity), etc. But those will be just fine without having to bring all that extra stuff.

[ih8hsv]

should be fine will chuck all the extras in the te on the way home so the vrx can fly home lol
and bags can fit only just as there is some stuff i have to deliver also there is the centre bit on the back seat if need be!

[Zahrim]

Double Post Doesnt count :p




I'm definately bringing some tools. i always bring my tools when driving a new car home, it's come in handy on more than one occasion.

[nixxss]

drove car into driveway last nite to clean out the inside, but didn't have time to do the outside.. it rained last nite so its fairly clean though.. I have all the tools needed, u guys didn't really have to bring any more.. and theres so many guys here in vic that would help out with tools if i was missing anything..

[ih8hsv]

not long now guys!

[[TUFFTR]]

[nixxss]

u guys do realise its over an hours drive from my place to Amins place? So when i get home at 6.. if u push the car to start it, u could possibly leave straight away but if u wanna put starter motor on here, it'll b another 20 min or so.. u'll miss all the meat.. Unless Amin starts a bit later..

[Life]

Haha its ok, we'll sort it out somehow dude! Even if we are late to Amin's!

No chance of you leaving the car on the street so we can do the starter asap?

[nixxss]

[Life]

We'll arrive at 5.30 and see what we can do.

Anyways.

We are now 250km north of Melbourne and way ahead of schedule! We were expecting to arrive 6-7am, looks more like 4-5am.

[Life]

Arghhh arrived too early!! 4.30am and we are at Braybrook maccas!

[Type40]

Arghhh arrived too early!! 4.30am and we are at Braybrook maccas!

Go knock on Paulies door and wake him up. He will love that!

Anyways... Off to work. Enjoy Braybrook and the sites it has to offer!

[Life]

[nixxss]

[Life]

Hey guys,

I'd like to thank everybody who came out to say hi, or we annoying during our visit!

It was a pleasure to see everybody again, and meet some new faces since last time!

Definately a big thanks to Amin for the BBQ and letting us leave the TE there overnight, and Paulie for the same thing, can't thank you enough!

WUT?! Omg, I thought that wheel was a deathtrap, was so thin and flexy, also clunked when shook as if the boss kit wasnt in properly.

Wish we picked up that wheel and chucked it at the "Entering NSW" sign on the border....

[Zahrim]

LOL! my brother is thinking about installing that steering wheel in his van, i think dean actually facepalmed when i mentioned this.

[[TUFFTR]]
