SYDNEY MOTORSPORT PARK: Interstate Track Day Birthday Bender Pt. 2

DAY THREE – Sydney Motorsport Park With a mix of excitement at our first track day ever at Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP) and the uncertainty of Sydney peak hour traffic, we were up early the next day to head to Eastern Creek. Pete, who was adamant that he didn’t need any extra fuel, actually did […]

MALAYSIA: Kota Kinabalu – Myvi vs Mount Kinabalu

MAN DOWN! Uhhh unfortunately by second night, I had received a nice and aggressive bout of food poisoning. Luckily McDonald’s served congee as part of their breakfast menu haha. On this morning we were also relocating several blocks away from our accommodation in the middle of the city. Despite having moved only 3km away, the […]

Sydney: Kebabs, Karts and Kei cars.

With Perry purchased, it was time to say goodbye to Chris and Nejii and start the long drive to Sydney. Thankfully the drive from Brisbane to Sydney was visually pleasing as the scenery contained banana and sugar cane plantations. Having said that, it was still a 981 km journey with no in car head unit. As some of […]

Sydney: Top gear and top food

Despite taking long service leave several months back, I was strongly encouraged to reduce my annual leave balance before the end of the financial year. With the sweet lure of a NSW track day, I decided to head up to Sydney for a mini get away. My flight in to Sydney was strategically booked to […]

Japan: Super GT @ Fuji Speedway

After a 30 minute bus ride from Gotenba station, we arrived at Fuji Speedway. We attempted and failed to buy tickets at a Lawson’s before hand so we were hoping that they would sell some at the door or our 3.5 hour trip from Hakone would have been for nothing! Thankfully we were in luck! […]

Japan: Shibuya, Akihabara and History Garage

It’s been 5 years since I first visited Japan and it’s good to see that their love of Coffee Boss is still strong. Tommy Lee appears to have teamed up with some J-Pop group called SMAP. The ads are all over the cities and on TV. Shibuya crossing, looking a bit scarier than usual. Stopped […]

Wakefield: A score to settle.

I’m officially on leave from work for two and a half months and the beginning of my long service hiatus begins with a trip to Sydney with Jally. As luck (and my awesomely accommodating friends) would have it, this trip also happened to coincide with a Circuit Club Track day at Wakefield. The usual Sydney […]

Exe Deca v 5.0

Saturday 23rd March, 2013 I’m back in Melbourne again and off to our first EXE event of the year. 4:00am start hurts my face. Either Kam is early or everyone is late to get to the meet point. We arrived to find him forever alone eating breakfast by himself. After drivers briefing, everyone is awake […]

Sydney: A temporary citizen

After being offered some free tickets to Top Gear festival, I decided to head up to Sydney to work for a week and catch up with the usual suspects in between. Sunday starts with a rainbow and an early morning twisty run. The rainbow was an entirely appropriate omen as the vehicles we were cruising […]

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 […]
