HAUNTED HILLS: Nugget Nationals 2017 Round 2 Pt.1

Feeling sick and snotty, I dosed up on some cold and flu tablets and dragged myself out of bed early Saturday morning to head down to Bryant Park for round two of Nugget Nationals at the infamous Haunted Hills hill climb track. As per my last post, I’m not competing in Nugget Nationals this year […]

EXE track day: Nugget Nationals Round II – Winton

As usual, we’re at the track bright and early for what was shaping out to be a scorcher of a day. With the first track round of Nugget Nationals upon us, it was also a prime opportunity to size up the competition. But before doing that, I may have had a slight mishap on the way […]

A weekend without the Winkle.

As there has been no update on the Perry Winkle suspension hunt, it was time to make an attempt at having a social life and remember that there are other cars in the world apart from Nuggets. Friday night saw the opening of JVN garage on the auspicious date of the 8th of the 8th! […]

EXE: Haunted Hills v 1.0

Our first event at Haunted Hills and we couldn’t have asked for better weather…is how I would start this post if the weather had been nice. Hah! As the office wasn’t open at that stage, we managed to get through drivers sign in while stationed on the floor in a wind tunnel. Viv conducted possibly […]

Grand prix and grand stands

Fencing has gone up and gravel traps are being laid down in anticipation for the first GP race of the year at Albert Park. As we’re all too uncool to actually have real plans on a Saturday night, we thought it would be a good opportunity to make the most of the backdrop and go […]

Sydney: Boost, Bunyips and Butterfly Farm

29-30th December, 2012 After Marulan track day we were all exhausted from the drive back. It was decided that the best form of relaxation was to go karting at Revesby. The karts here are already awesome as they are two speed and postie bike powered, but things are going to get a whole lot more […]

It’s all in the prep.

It’s the last weekend before our back to back EXE track day next weekend at Winton. The crew gather around for some last minute car preparation. I’ll be tracking M&M on both the Saturday and the Sunday so it’s time for a long overdue service. Doing up sump plugs like a sneaky ninja boss. Bong […]

M&M gets some new legs.

With all the excitement of Terry, I’ve forgotten to post about the new suspension that went into M&M a few weekends ago. Gratuitous wheel shot. Needs moar low. Success! It’s then customary to wind the new Teins all the way down to take some sweet photos. I don’t know how the cool kids do it, […]

An alpaca on Australia day.

As it is Australia Day public holiday today, we all had a rather festive evening last night. I wasn’t too sure whether we’d be going for a drive as we’d all arrived home in the wee hours of the morning. After a good sleep, the message was sent out to the troops who managed to […]

Home is where…the cars are!

Hello, I’m finally back in Melbourne! The one thing I really missed when I was overseas was driving so I planned to go for a nice long drive first thing after getting back. Tom wants to go for a drive too so we combine our forces. The “forces” turn out to be too little red […]
