NIN^ ^NIN, I've got the best of both worlds. I have dual batteries but I also have the power for the inverter hooked up via 2 wires. The first wire gives power while the acc is on and the second wire gives power via a relay triggered by the PC. So once the PC turns itself off, it then cuts the power to the inverter and no more power loss. You are right however, if the PC does not shutdown properly then everything keeps running until your battery is flat. This has never happened to me YET but in theory it could. Damn. Then the second battery would have to kick in to start the car.

the last meet was only done cause a few guys who said they didn't get to the first 1 couldnt wait till sep/oct and they still didn't come now they want pics? nooooooooo

it was a small group of people anyways so it wasn't really worth pullin the camera's out.

I for one am dissapointed there are no photos. Then again, I must admit I didn't take too many photos at the sydney meet.

I agree. Now stop the complaining about photo's and get to making something that i can photograph at the next meet and get ideas from! :P

next meet should be huge, so somebody should remember to take a few pics.

Yeah but this was a unoffical meet really and all the ppl who complained that they can't wait and want to go to a meet now didn't even come think 1 person who complained about it came.

Don't worry my car will be done and it will be *****IN and very very pimp

Don't worry about the photos, I am sure I will be able to take them. I am for certain I am going to go to the next meet. The next one I am going to take better pictures of the cars and their owners. Looking forward to the next one.

Could we make it late October, so by then I SHOULD have my P's!!! and my carupter done as well.
