I used to go to the Tarlton drag days and nights quite regularly. More or less the same time I started reading the Speed and Sound - 20'ish issue. The thing is the events don't change all that much. And "liefieding" will chop my b@erew@rs...Seeing that I spend most my weekends cleaning and fixing my SX. Something about spending quality time and so and so... We will see how things pan...

It was nice seeing everyone, once again I'm jinxed and couldn't pitch with the car...
It was a wire in my CAS sensor loom decided to brake off, ECU triggering now, car still won't start

I have a solution, let me check/rewire your entire car, free of charge. After I mess it up enough take it to this auto electrician I know and pay him to fix it. Problem solved.
The day was a hoot

Not that any other event we've ever had was bad but I enjoyed today.
MUST attend more events, 'formal' club events or not. One thing that came across again strongly today was that we need access to a track or something where we can play around a bit without having to incur speeding fines or any other side-effects.
Also the drag ladder saw some action; I gave our friends from Witbank a running start and then showed them some gangster paradise hospitality

Oh yea, I'm in my element at these events! Don't see the time go, I have so much fun

There were lots of new guys at this event - nice to meet you all! And thanks for the SX-less that joined, WooHaa and his buddy, and even Vlade who was temporarily SX-less

Thanks also to the guys that pitched up at Shell Ultra City even though you couldn't make it to Krugersdorp, it was cool that you met up with us! Charl, glad your car is running - we did our rebuild at roughly the same time. qewrty - are you gonna post us some pics, Mr Club Photographer?

I know i know, most of you are asking WTF is this dude doing on this forum after desapearing for so long
But i've been checking the posts and i really decide to pitch for the breakfast run, the only problem was i drank so much on Wed that when i woke up on Thursday the guys were already in Tarlton, but it looks like everybody had a good time and i'n piss off with myself for not pitching up on My MAXIMA

yep i've got a Maxima, man that Shi%$t is so slow that i would have to take off 3 hrs b4 every1 just to meet u in time

.
But anyways just wanted to congratulate Toby & everybodyelse that orgasined this event and send a shout out to everybody.
