When i first saw it on the news I thought it was NUFNSUS but turned it it wasn't. Hope their injuries were only minor. Also everyone on the cruise!!! We weren't supposed to go into Mt. Barker AT ALL!! lol. Shame about the defects too I reckon i counted about 9? And they looked pretty norm except for one.

From driving through the hills with these cars to the crashs I've concluded Commodore drivers couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs ass. Day was alright, got fair confusing at strathalybn lol. I was clutching my rosary beads all day praying that I wasn't going to get rear ended. And Mildrens dyno = harshest ever haha

I made 230, and have made 254 on a dyno dynamics. That xr6 apparently lost like 40 kw ha rob/ monsters power definately seemed low too. They warned me is a very harsh dyno for figures though. Apparently a supra made around 380kw on their dyno and pulled up 500kw the next day on a dyno dynamics

i think it was just more how the dyno was set up on the day and all the cars had heat soak from cruising etc. mine was 230rwkw through a 4500 convertor with 1015nm torque

haha cant believe i won the comp. i was pretty disappointed with my readout but i put it down to having boost issues rather than a low reading dyno. i wouldnt know if it was low reading as i wasnt able to get a good power run on there. will be easily fixed during the week, so no big deal. was a good day out and a good cruise with some very neat and tidy commys. so jake and i had fun anyway.

yeah and the fact that he is going to be ok. i wonder how it did happen. only way i could think is he was pulling out of mclaren vale turn off (right) and other car was coming past (heading south) and hit his rear end when he was pulling out, but then people have said apparently it happened past the turn off. i dunno just seems odd
