Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

Dodgy curry is usually the culprit mate! Incidentally, being Indian, Sydney is the only city in the world where there are NO decent Indian restaurants! Migration info. Legacy thread was 85673

POST 4Original post

O/T try NYC too Sarai dude...v.poor! :roll: btw, for those london based Spice Trader nr monument...best ever! although the 911uk curry paradise comes a v.close 2nd and for 20 notes for 2 courses + booze = v.good value! :lol: Migration info. Legacy thread was 85709

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Actually, I beg to differ. Having some Indian mates we often head out for some very good Indian followed coupled with a thousand or so Kingfishers.... South Indian food generally...unfortunately the boys aren't too fond of the "Northies". Some excellent Indian restaurants but not in the Sydney CBD - you have to head out into the 'burbs a little. Migration info. Legacy thread was 85897

POST 6Original post

Cool - you will have to let me know where mate! I spend a month in Sydney every year - mid dec to jan. I also lived there for 4 years too and didn't find any great places - being Indian I guess I had enough relo's to feed me at the time! Migration info. Legacy thread was 85909

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Servo, No problem, let me know when you are in town. Maybe a curry night is on the cards over here. Not many colonials on this list though. I think only Roja and myself. Migration info. Legacy thread was 85915

POST 8Original post

Cool! I will have a 997 to drive around in while I am in Sydney so might have to hook up for bit of a drive mate! I am in the middle of organising a Porsche Driving Day with Porsche Australia up in QLD in mid december, it will be a private event for just me and a few mates (about 10 all up) not everyone has given a definite yes, would you be interested in going? Its about AUD 1250.00 for the day but you get to drive everything from a 2.7 Boxster to a 997 GT3 and Turbo!!! Migration info. Legacy thread was 85920

POST 9Original post

back on topic, could be his aircon? My BMW aircon smells funny when first started! Migration info. Legacy thread was 85929

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Servo, Definitely up for a drive here in Sydney and count me in for QLD. Please advise date when confirmed so that I can lock away in my diary. Poon, Smell is there when air-con is off so I suspect it is the cat. Time for a new performance exhaust I think! Migration info. Legacy thread was 86018
