Gidday to All

Gidday folks, Cobb here from Brisvagas just joined. Had my GT Coupe RX8 now for 3+ yrs now. Wondering if there are any local Track Days where we can get out and stretch her lungs somewhat more than the local lads will allow on the streets..???

Bon jour. First time I've seen your post. Greetings from Kansas City. Yellow 04 GT. Ya'll still in that bad drought? I work for a company that builds industrial pumps, some are for de-salinization plants.I'm not sure how viable they are. What's the price of gasoline there? $3.39 a gallon here.

Well lets see, Liter 1:0.264172 US Gallons
We are currently paying around AU$1.60 a litre
So thats 1.6/0.264172 = about $6.05 p/US Gallon

Good morning(?) Wow. I thought $3 was high. You have to love your 8 to pay that.

I just spotted this, hope you're still enjoying the 8. We seem a bit more proactive over here but probably due to a couple of guys that are keen enough to keep everyone else motivated. Have fun with it. Cheers.

G'day Cobber, hows it hangin?
Try these for a good thrash, the Lakeside track in Petrie, near Brisbane, If not, there's also Morgan Park in Warwick and Willowbank has track days very often.
Have fun mate, and welcome to the club.

Just saw your post. Not many aussies visit this section of the site anymore.

There is a track day scheduled at Lakeside for this weekend. We also have the RX8 nationals coming up in august and you just missed out on our 10th anniversary cruise to Orileys on Monday.

As mentioned earlier head to the au website for more local activities.
