FTO AUSTRALIA

Despite the gloomy Melbourne weather, it was fantastic to see everyone again, both the old-schoolers and felow new members... Certainly an impressive turnout indeed! Big thumbs up to the fresh faces who showed up to the meet - we hope you enjoyed the company / mini-cruise.

Must never forget a big thanks to Kevin for providing ample secure parking for our beloved machines ...

oh yeah and big thanks to Toni as well for leading the adhoc mini-cruise through the bay (and stumbling into bumper traffic due to the *~delightful!~* & lesbian festival) hehehe... Hope y'all made it out of there alive...

Looking forward to some of the photos taken today and to our upcoming charity cruise on the 29th Feb so stay tuned for that one!

Stay beautiful ppls!

ps: Sorry I had to bail out midway through our mini cruise, my tank was running low and I had a family dinner to attend... Oh and Eric - leave the crotch-rocket at home next time!

I either need to lose some weight or get the car serviced (probably both) as on the way home I dragged Supplanter (James) off at around half-a-dozen sets of lights and he beat me all but once.

hmmm... thought to self, put driver on diet and the laden weight of the car could drop by 20kg!

Ok ppl, i've just post up some pics! enjoy

Jun, if u came, u would of met those new "FTO member" at the Blue Room! heehehe ok i think only those person who sat at the same table as me would understand this

Ohhhh & very very sorry for the poor person that i drop the fork & knife on his head..........

Should I mention I wasn't trying... nah, wouldn't want to rub it in.

I'm not falling for that one, I heard the wheelspin!

It was a fantastic turn out. Now all we need is all the cars that were there today, to come along to future cruises. The once a month mini meet sounds like a great idea!! Cant wait to go to Phillip Island!!

Ah Ruchi youre not fat,just um pleasantly rounded! Great catching up with you guys/gals yet another highly succesfull event,onya o4u2nv oh i mean Mikey! cant wait for the next one. Thanx ruchi for the computer tips ill give them a go, oh and just kidding mate

Hey, no need to be polite, I know I'm 20kg over my ideal weight!

Will work on getting in better shape this year.

Perhaps inline with the charity idea, we could have a "sponsor a fat FTO driver" and for every kilo we lose we can add that money to the charity money we get from the cruises

Then I'll drag Supplanter again, and beat him!

Maybe your pod filter is making you lose power... sounds amazing though.

I did get my car serviced this week, a full engine of Motul could have helped too.

What are the chances of running into the madi gras on a sunday I thought they went to church on sundays, to pray for the um much loved sins he he ... Anyway good to catch up with everyone and MIkey I guess I'll bring the P.A system from work and well maybe even the boardroom table for the next meet or oh well what the heck we will just have to use my dinning table and BBQ at my house then go over the road and play some pool!!
Can't wait for the Leap Year event to Phillip Island will see all you guys there.

P.S We have a new technical director on the forums ... you know who you are !

For a mini-meet we sure had a good turnout.

To Supplanter (James), Black_FTOGPX (Joel) & MrDJ1234 (Rudi) I'd like to say thanks for catching up at my house first, having the micro-meet and then a mini-cruise to the mini-meet was kind of fun.

Well done to all the newbies who came along, and make sure you keep coming back. The more people we have the better it gets.

Mikey, you're a legend, keep up the good work! And I really like some of the charity ideas we discussed.

Here's some pics:
