Admin What's up with the site lately? Constant system errors and it hangs on every post, but still makes the post somehow.

haha I can imagine. We had already been up for something like 24 hours at the point we boarded that flight. The game plan was to stay up at least 6 hours into the flight so we'd wake up and it would be approximately 0700 in Sydney, but we all passed out no more than an hour into the flight so we woke up for the day around midnight Sydney time.

The way back was way better. Overnighted in a handful of places with no flight longer than 9 hours. Definitely the way I'd do it if I ever went back - tack on a few days in Hawaii/Japan or something.

This is so confusing to us in the Northern Hemisphere LMAO ... but Ive always wanted to come down there and celebrate a new years on the beach when its nice and warm

Get a campervan, travel the coast, experience life as it was intended. For the full tourist experience wear 0 sunblock, sit on the beach for a half hour, and become radioactive

Random work event. Was only in Sydney for 4 days before moving on. Probably won't be a next time unless I do a family trip there. Was just so far away, something like 40 hours of travel straight including a 15h 40 min long flight from Vancouver.

To be fair, the winter is perfect. It was sunny and 17-20deg every day, which is shorts weather for me.

The travel time we are used to, since everything is so far away we've just got to put up with it. LA to Syd is about 16h which isn't fun, but better than the 24h to Europe

What possessed you to come here in July? Shame, the e30 scene here is quite strong. Come back in summer next time

Damn I was in Sydney in early July, I didn't even think to look for people from r3v.

Oops, forgot to say in here. Thank you to everyone with recommendations for my America trip. Ended up a little over 3 weeks, 7800 miles. Cali, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona for about 20 metres, then back in. What an amazing country you have. Camped basically the whole way and under the stars as often as I could aside from when deep in bear country.
Can't wait to come back.

That's awesome!

Bummed we didnt get to meet up, especially since I couldnt make the Crown Vic happen, that would've been a fun adventure add-on.

I think I'd try to get 1000 for the M50 and settle for as low as 500. I never bought an M5x for more than $350 with all accessories, but times have changed.

E34 M50 oil pan+pickup+dipstick prices are crazy these days, you may get 500+ for one if it cleans up well and you list it in the right places.

If they're stock US S50 headers, I don't think there's anything special about them? I've been trying to sell M52/S52 exhaust manifolds for years for like $20-50 and no takers around here. I put a few of the rougher sets out for the scrap vultures. Aftermarket probably worth something if name brand, and like $50 if not.

I honestly have no idea, so it was a simple guess, and gives you some room for negotiation

That's more than I figured, nice.
