Steve, you have some very good ideas. Excellent in fact. You have proven yourself very handy at organising events and so on. Useful chap to have around.

However, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, they complain enough on their own about not getting as much attention as the car, without getting them together!

It can only end in all of us having to sell our cars and drive around in Sirion's or Fiesta's. Not a pretty picture at all :cry:

ps: after sept i'm comin..

TJ2709~evofto
that sucks... so you received the letter saying when you start / end dates were? license isn't suspended until you get the letter....

trouble with the city is trying to keep large groups of cars together... we'll be in the city at the XMAS BBQ but generally speaking it becomes a nightmare so we tend to go rural / country as the driving is more fun...

reason behind this is those that cruise a lot are real "drivers" and fto's should be "driven" ;) er that sounds really wanky but i think you know what i mean

Statistically speaking, you would be considered "outliers", ie results obtained lying outside the "normal" range of results.

You would be ignored :D

Statistically speaking, of course....

where are our lazy members????? :roll:

Well lets see for the last 7 weeks Mrs airbornespanner have been working 11 hours + 7 days a week either at our work places or renovating two of our units.

But I have to confess we took the last 4 days off to go to the snow, (had a great time though).

We have to also give our apologise for the cuise this Sunday Gotta go to work, seems to always get in the way, still it does pay the bills!!!!!!!.

Have a great cruise we do miss the cruises will see if we can make it for the next one.

PS Steve where are we up to with the filter/intake mod kits ?

:D What a great day...... :D

Beautiful weather, not too much traffic, nice lunch..... great cars - almost was a Black & White FTO show only - then Adam turned up with his red one and we picked up GAV in his blue one along the way.

Hope everyone had fun, thanks to all who came along and hope the couple of newbies enjoyed themselves - it was great to have see some new faces :D

Next cruise coming up very soon is Oran Park (Sep 12th) - where you can choose to race your car or just join the rest of us and be spectators :wink:

Cheers

I actually woke up early with the intention of going, but I fell asleep again shortly after. Just too bloody buggered. If I had gone I probably would have dozed off at the wheel and caused an FTO pile up.

Any one get any pics?
