Hey Guys and Gals
just had one of the nicest cruises to the Black spur from the mini meet tonight. id been hanging to take my Brock up there for ages, and after spending all day changing oils, fixing bumber clips and polishing her up, i wasnt going to let a little thunder steal my day off! Must say that the car drove like a dream, all 265kms! and i only used a 1/4 tank petrol (BP98). I did have one thing that caught my attention though, towards the top of the hill my green power mode button on the dash was goin off intermitantley, my friend suggested that perhaps the boxes (4speedautos) have a failsafe which reverts them to economy mode after prolonged exposure to strain? most of the trip up and down was in 2nd gear. Would have been better with a manual box. Otherwise it was awesomo 3000! pity the pics turned out crap, but the Mpegs were great! I cant wait til the FFA cruise! Good Times Everybody!  py:

Ive had this car for about three years, before that it belonged to my brother inlaw, i onlygot it back on the road about a year ago, since then ive only driven it a few times, out to calder twice (just to watch), and the e-series mega cruise last october.
This is my 3rd e-series, with still a few more to come i think. :eclipsee_
