***Official What did you do to your EK today***

Theres a fair few fake ones on the net.

Real ones have distinct metal mounting brackets to the boot where as the fakes have fibreglass or hardened plastic.

well, thats wat i heard.........

I think Andy is just moving location..(hope so..)

They shut their ringwood factory and are currently looking for a factory out in the Sth east suburbs I believe, needed a bigger workshop. Andy is working out of Fitzgerald racing in Box hill at the moment (Porsche tuning place) so my car is there. Should see some of the cars out the front of that place!!

Wow man what R U doing now to your beast,it's already a weapon! :)

Oh,I see your a bodyboarder too!! It's the shiz aye,that was my life for 17 yrs..

haha Thanks man :thumbsup: nothing major this time, just a service, new catch can setup and a bigger vacuum box for my quads. As well as new drive shaft boots.

Dude, I have riding the Lid for about 15 years as well. Love it. Just have to drive like 2 hours to the closest decent wave :o sucks, but worth it when its on.

Waited for it to soak in and wiped it out?

Did you need to soak the rag as well?

I found it worked better spraying it on the rag rather than the upholstery; but just spray enough so it makes a soap/sud and clean it from there

I finially checked on the map where ya are,super close to Andy! i was just down in St kilda for a week a while back,ya might have seen the pics already - link

So nice down there!! I was really impressed,loved it!

So have U driven great ocean road a few times? :) THAT'S what I really wanna do!

I'm about half hour drive from his old workshop in Ringwood so wasn't too bad. I have driven the GOR a couple of times, but it is so far away and gets a lot of traffic so not really worth the drive unless you have a big group going, which doesn't seem to happen anymore. To be honest most of the best roads in VIcco are at or really close to my house in Healesville. That and the Mt Baw Baw road, but that is also ages away from my place.

Mt Baw Baw > Reefton Spur/Black spur > GOR.
