Okay, good ol Vic can do it so im thinking why cant we?

Basically we need 6 cars to enter as a club. I bags one, and im hoping Adam will come too.

We will have to design a stand/layout for the cars, flooring, etc.
Cost: $100 ea. Including a free buddy pass. however there may be a few other costs involved such as decorations etc.
The dates:
2nd/3rd June - Gold Coast Exhibition Center - enter by 4th may
29th/30th October - Brisbane Convention Center - enter by 31st Aug

Thinking of October in Bris as it gives everyone time to organise (which we will need.)
I may have my car almost done by then and i know a few other people have works in progress.... Anyone with an FTO is welcome to come...
Would there be much interest in this?
Have a squiz over at VIC and check out what they're doing... They're really putting in for it.
If we do this, then i bags collecting promo girls.... lol.

I would be interested in the Brisbane one. I'll just need to do something about my side skirts before then and I'd be pretty happy to enter.

Sounds like a great idea.

i would come but... i dont really have anything to contribute :( (i guess i would have the interior finished by then and probably the computer and screen etc... depending on how much i have to spend on the car lol)

i guess i can always come and say hi when u guys r there

i can also help out with the stage etc (i mean design and stuff not being a promo girl lol), although i can see if i can con a couple of meter maid friends to come and help out

That may be... But its because of lazy ppl like you robsta... lol
Im active as hell and so is Yano and he cant even drive his fricken car...
Chelsea come to almost everythin and Adam has started to as well..
We have a heap of new members who may come as well (Michelle, eThix, Budds, Sammi, oodles, nosman). And by the sounds of things Garth is in..
so this has a very good chance of getting off the ground.
however it may just flop.

Company car...depending how long I last at this job I'm getting sick of it lol.
But I've been bitten by the boost bug...

I'll put $20 on you going the way of Wallaby.
Getting a boosted car and then driving it for 4 months and realising just how good the fto was.... then trying to sell your car to buy back an fto thats not as good as your old one.

I'll take that bet.
I've had the FTO for 2 years I'm over it.
And I can't justify spending 10k on the FTO to turbo it, it's not worth turboing a TIP so that would mean more money on a manual conversion.
So much easier buying a rwd car that is alrdy turbo. Not to mention I've found a few I want just waiting on mine selling..

Righto...

to each his own.

You'll be missed on the cruises mate...

except for your dirt finding skills

and dont even think about bringing a skyline or silvia to one of our cruises..

but if u get an evo.... then well... maybe... lol

lol at the dirt finding skills

but seriously that was half of the fun... in fact i think that was the cheapest excitment we had all day, the other 2 being my 700$ fine and simon's flat of course

and i think he's allowed to come in any car that he decides to buy, but if it's a RWD then he's not allowed to lead anywhere, cos he's going to be kicking rocks from dirt roads back at ppl. :P

i mean FFS my mate was allowed to tag along in a dato lol

Lol.. i know he wont buy a skyline..
He's owned an fto... he has too much taste...
So robsta... what models you lookin at??? (please dont say skyline)

Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 2:36 pm
by robsta
haha no skyline for me mate dont worry about that.
im going for an AE86 with a 4agze or 4agte :D

Don't worry if I come I will be at the back, I will admit that a line of FTOs is mad to see, but if there is something in the middle to ruin it well :cry:
as for the dirt roads.....LEAVE ME ALONE......lol
