Your own fault, you should have heard the turn signal coming blocks away...

Great to meet everyone last night! Nice to have a group of guys together as passionate about their cars as I. I do like the idea of entertaining a race city night for some 1/4 mile fun and autocrossing. It's $25 for both autocross and 1/4 mile... as many runs as you can get in. People bring their cars, trucks, vans, mopeds to this so no major mods required. Apparently it's every friday night (weather permitting) and would be fun to get together before hand and cruise in all at once. Maybe the friday night before the July 4th cruise!?
cya!

Couldn't hear it - there was a Harley with straight pipes 10 kms away.

I was great meeting everyone and seeing Swivel again.

zeadlots, did you get a replacement valve cap?

Jenna's too sweet to rat you out to the Camry gang. Must have been that one that rolled past when we were on the patio.

Looking at getting OE flappy-paddles for my steering wheel (thanks Jack!). Ken's checking warranty implications for the install - about C$350 in parts.

BTW, with Harleys, how in the world can they get away with making that much noise? If my G had such loud exhaust I'd get a ticket every day...

That will be an awesome mod.

There's a "Creston dinner jacket"* wearing d!ckhead down the street from me who has just purchased a hawg to round out his collection of annoying power equipment:

ATV
dirt bike(s)
gas powered remote-controlled 4x4 screamers
go-kart
mini sport-bike (you know the kind that would fit in the trunk of a car)

All of the above get run around the block on weekends (all illegal...)

I just love people who love to make noise and rip up the grass...

Three words. THREE-ONE-ONE. It actually works. Maybe we need a "Knoisy Knuckleheads" thread.

7th place in Alberta out of 13. She dieted down too much and came in too small. Those ABBA judges like their women more beefcake.

Hey interalian I would imagine that the paddle shifters wouldn't void any warranties as they are all OEM Infiniti parts, but better safe then sorry and dishing out $$$ for a repair. Let me know what you find out, still on the fence about getting these, as my wife is the one who drives the G most of the time.

As everyone mentioned, it was great meeting everyone, lets get another meet going soon, unfortunately I wont' be at the July 4th meet...damn work. Everyone that goes...have a BLAST!!

Still waiting for feedback, but at that price it is a no-brainer for me. I'll be sure to update.
