Gee that snuck up fast.

 

I'll be there :lolcry:

I'll be there in the Hachi Roku, gotta decide which group to go with though :lolcry: AE86DC or Rollaclub

 

If I go with AE86 my car won't look as good by comparison, but if I go with Rollaclub people will call it a Corolla and get distracted by the KE20 :lolcry: I don't have the stripes this time to lure over the kiddies.

That did come up fast! I'll double check the address, because the website still lists the lawns near the libary, where we had it last year!

The event is back at John Knight Park in Belconnen, I am in the process of getting the Council web site corrected.

 

Here is the event flyer

Wasn't it moved due to space issues Bruce?

 

Sloth: OR ccg haha they had a couple of sprinters last year didnt they?

 

Edit; Also I can fix that stripe problem if you like :lolcry:

The committee which took over 2 years ago, decided that to get more spectators to attend, it should be in a more visible location.

 

I disagree, the event was always about the enthusiast not the public.

 

So the change which will affect the Japanese cars is the top of the hill which had the Ford show in the past will now be all for the Japs, as they are the largest group who attend.

I still believe we can get 1200 cars in the park and still be enjoyable, but I am hoping for about 700 - 800, so plenty of room to move

Ah cool bananas, I would agree that the park is more enthusiast orientated, keeps it kind of low key which is nice.

 

Do you need entrant numbers?

Wow this sounds great, pity I'm on the sunny coast.

Hehe, yeah there is always CCG. Only been to one of their events and haven't been active with them yet. I've been active in Rollaclub forums for a while and AE86 (and have some merch too :lolcry:).

 

I think I'll keep the sprinter stripeless for now :lolcry:

 

Once I get some more cash she'll get a makeover, but that won't be for a while.

Hey Sloth, come with us (CCG/Toymods), meet all the guys etc.... You'll fit right in..... Yeah, My AE86 will be there, maybe sprinterboys as well. The more the merrier...... There is usually some Rollas with the CCG too. A bit of everything is how we like it.....

lol ill be there in the new and inproved NV305... as long as it doesn't blow up when i start it!

it'll also give me an excuse to give it its first polish since last marques.

 

I'll also bring along the misses in her suzuki swift too.

Ok canberra guys, marques is this sunday!

I think we should organise a meet up prior to entering the park like last year.

 

What do people think of meeting at belco bowling (just behind maccas) at 10?

You guy's could meet up with us CCG guy's if you wanted.
