as for ride height, i took my car to Brisbane BMW today to get the damn engine emissions light turned off and for them to have a quick look over .... they couldn't get into onto the hoist !

hmm and i don't know about the weekend atm, it seems like a long run and my fuel light just came on .... i spent $200 on go karting today and then stopped off at the local tavern and played some pokies .... very VERY bad idea ! ... maybe ill just come for lunch or something ?

1. I like my R50. It may not have the power but I still love it. I have never driven an S and I don't think Id want to; then ill be tempted to upgrade. Besides I have enough planed for mine anyway.

2. How do you go about jacking your car up? Put it up on ramps and then jack it up or do you have a low hydraulic jack at home?

3. If your going to come for the lunch then come on the whole trip. When we get out to Mt T. we are having lunch, which is pretty much the whole point of the cruise. Ill see you on sunday.
