So who's from Durban, then? I have Gary57, Deens, and Nght_RideA. Anyone else from Durban? Anyone going to be in Durban next week?
I'd like to organise a meet & greet in Durban, so that I can meet our Durban members and their cars. The plan is as follows:
- Meet at Suncoast Casino entrance at 11am on Monday, 18th December 2006
- We can pick a spot to have lunch and chat
Who's in? Could the interested parties please PM me their cell number so I can contact you?
Im in for monday just let me know if its for definate.
im going to Bluff from 19 to 28, but flying this time, so no car, but open for beers 🙂
So Widowmaker, should we make it for Tuesday, then? Will you make it for Tuesday afternoon/evening? Let me know so we can finalise.
Anyone else from Durbs keen? Deens?
So from the sx club Ill be the only sx attending 🙁 .
That's why it's a meet & greet 🙂 Hopefully you'll get to experience the joy of SX's getting together for the A1 Grand Prix.
Hi Guys, Thanks for the invite. My Car is broken at the moment. I gave it to a guy in Pinetown to re-wire the SMT 6 piggy-back chip. He couldn't do it completely sucessfully after fiddling for a week. He then decided to leave it as it was before, but wanted to set it up to the best he could. He took it for a spin, blew one of the water hoses, overheated the engine and blew the head gasket... I have since towed the car back home and started stripping it to see what's inside. I would like to join you guys for maybe a few drinks. I live on the Bluff so I could give Widowmaker a ride since he has no car. I have my wifes car at my disposal.
sounds like a plan! i will try to hook you up with widow. PS I am currently travelling in a car going to Durban! Ain't technology great?
hope you made it without hassles - Toby, give me a buzz to hear what happened to me - am flying a mango on tuesday @ 6am, so shoul be there the morning still. will probably first have to sniff some butts with the family, then sniff some high octane butts with you guys - have you got a time yet?
Hi Guys, as I am still working I will prefer sometime in the afternoon/evening.

Hey Guys! I'm back from Durban 🙂
The event in Durbs was really awesome. I'd like to thank all the guys that attended: Gary, Deens, Preshan, and Widowmaker. Along with friends and family, there were eight of us at the event.
We met up at Suncoast casino at about 6pm. I had some t-shirts made for each SX owner attendee. We went to a coffee shop/bar where Walter treated us to some rounds of drinks - thanks Walter! We all had a great time chatting to each other. We nominated Gary as the Durban SX club representative. Deens provided some action when he managed to get himself stuck in a lift 🙂 Fortunately that was short-lived and after he'd got out, he invited us all to his place at the Bluff for supper. We all accepted 🙂
So, at about 8:30pm, we all drove in tow (dinner-run) first to my flat to drop off family, then off to the Bluff. Gary had the only running SX, but it was fun nevertheless.
The rest of the evening and well into the night, we spent chatting at Deen's place, finished off a bottle of whiskey (thanks Deens!), checked out his work-in-progress SX engine rebuild, had a wonderful meal prepared by his wife, and chatted some more!
It was great to meet all of you Durban guys! Hope you guys keep in touch and meet up whenever possible. Hopefully we can all meet up again for the A1 Grand Prix.
Hi, Yes, it was great meeting all you guys. Thanks for the "T" Toby. No sweat about the whiskey & snacks, the least we could have done...it's known as Durban hospitality. You're welcome.
On behalf of my Family and myself, I would also like to wish all our readers a very safe festive season, and a special wish for those broken down and unwell SX's a speedy get well soon.
been there, done that, got the t-shirt
hehehe
but ya thanks to all - it was great... just one question, did anybody else have some whiskey as well? it seems that i got carried away with meeting the new friends and talking cars and losing my memory outch
thanks Toby for my favourite shirt and thanks Dena for the hospitality and thanks Bells for the headache and thanks Panado for the quick fix
mmm now where are the pictures...
Yes, Toby where are the pics? By the way I eventually finished the re-assembly yesterday evening. All went well, including getting new hoses made for the turbo, both oil supply and water supply/return (thanks Vlade for the advice). I started her up (first time) and she was very noisy for about 5 minutes (due to the squeezed-out lifters). After leaving her idling for a bit she quietened down completely and purred like a pussy cat. Took her for a quick spin in the dark and she seems quite happy. Will set the timing and TP sensor, idle sensor, and idle speed this morning. Thanks again to all concerned.
Ooohhh I hate you guys and your mech skills 😢 I just can't see my car running anytime soon...
Deens, don't you wanna come up to Joburg for a visit? And like, bring your tools with 🙂
Well, the pics from this event are up! Sorry that there are so few and the quality isn't great, since it was night-time, but enjoy anyways!
Be planning a trip soon up to the BIG CITY. Hopefully arrange something to have my piggy-back wired up properly and fly back down. Sorry buddy, would really like to come up there for good (was there before for 4 years). Unfortunately the sea (and my mum/dad) has a hold on me and the pull of the rand is less than the pull of the sea.
