[Tragic]

All we need now is someone to report back if the cops are defecting at the entry to Canberra on the Hume Hwy like they were 2yrs ago.

[Tragic]

Yer I was planning on just hiring a car for the weekend to drive down. Its only $140 for the weekend so its worth it to drive past any possible defect stations.

[benm]

In the past 3yrs ive been they have only blocked the Hwy once and just did an exhaust test (which is why my car is getting exhaust work done today haha).

The last 2yrs their hasn't been many cops about at all...

anyone like to meet down there?

Summernats (still)= Australias biggest Bogan/Westie convention (unfortunately). Main gripes- After the first few hours, you spend the whole weekend treking through rubbish, It still isn't all that great a place to take an jap import if you want any appreciation (or to keep straight panels, in my case perhaps [re: those still angry about bathurst 91/92] and does it always have to be 40+ degrees the whole time? Let the for/against posts begin!

neva herd of it till yesterday when my brothers mechanic talked about it...

taking a jap import straight 6 turbo to a aussie v8 ute/bogin-vill show.... i wouldnt think would be a good idea. too many ppl who are way too passionate about there cars, there who like to abuse car owners like my self about owning a jap import

In the last few years there have been plenty of imports down there

[benl1981]

Is parking free? Its 45 a ticket - i hope parking is included..

ill be down then - I have insurance on the car anyways, just be annoying if it got kicked up or something

[R3LOAD]

the parking lot consists of a huge farm paddick if i remember correctly, so if u take ur skyline down its gonna get a bit of dirt on it. And yeah i think parking is included in the ticket.

The streets (Braddon etc) are dominated by Imports. The showground is dominated by v8's and rotary cars.

Their are more and more imports starting to appear inside the showground but they generally get frowned upon because they cannot do burnouts (which lets face it, thats what everyone is there to see).

The parking is free, your car will get dusty and need a very good wash when you get back home. Just pray it doesnt rain otherwise you'll be washing your car for a month!

[benl1981]

Thats cool - dont mind the dirt.
