Sloth Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 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.

sammo[RL] Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustombruce Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 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 Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENut Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) 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: I has a spray can or 4, multi colour stripes mmmm Edited September 5, 2010 by KENut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustombruce Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 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 Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENut Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.....

KENut Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
