Actually, those probably gets used more than ovens over there!

Actually, I am surprised he has such a nice grill. Must have bought it this week!

I am, however, impressed by how good his grass is still looking for the middle of winter.

That might not work here in the states Barry. I find that Charka works much better than Kingsford.

(For those in the dark: I am comparing the major US and South African brands of charcoal briquettes)

Ohh, that BM one is so true in SA! Of course here nobody seems to use them.

Mericet: did your lines from Performatek work out OK?? The ones that I had that leaked were made by "BrakeQuip". John, the ones from Performatek is in fact manufactured by Goodridge. No prblems installing them (except for getting some rusty old brake lines to come off) but I have not blee...

It is pretty common on a lot of BB's these days. Spammers will try anything!

Thanks for the advise. I was also thinking it would be best to cut of the old lines' sleeve and use that. I definitely knew it would be bad to leave it as is as I was sure the bracket would catch on the lines and damage them. I have been speaking to the guys in our machine shop at work about the pin...

I have a set that I bought before I even bought my GTV6. I believe it was from Performatek. I will be installing them tomorrow night (or is that tonight?) I will let everyone know how the install goes and if there are any issues.

Thanks Barry. Looking forward to seeing that.

You can always paint the wheels a dark grey (brake dust colour). Then nobody will know your wheels are in fact dirty.

Barry, I don't think people live on the facility. I have not actually been there so I don't know. To drive there you pretty much have to join the club and it's quite expensive. Click on the "Villas at MotorSport Ranch" link and they show you can actually buy and own a place there. I have ...

While the GTV6 is safe in the garage on some jackstands, I am playing with my 91 Jetta this year in autocross. Here are some pictures to enjoy: 3 or maybe 2 wheel action: http://home.earthlink.net/~mericet/wmr_0025a.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~mericet/wmr_0079a.jpg Getting sideways: (my first run...

Well Barry, next time you're at Kyalami, make sure to say hi to the marshals for me.
