Cruise meeting spot: Lakeside Cafe', Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Toowong @ 9am - Depart time: 10am -- Cruisers must sign event registration at cafe' (parking in lot opposite entrance)

seeing as I am lazy and couldn't be bothered reading (and am apparently retarded because I have 300rwkw) do we all have to fill in the form? Ie is everyone on the cruise automatically entered in the show and shine? I am thinking about coming but due to drinking tonight it is no sure thing.

Where on cootha are we meeting up? There's a few carparks around the place, don't want to end up driving around there over and over again looking :(

The cruise is meeting in the car park at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, which is at the bottom of the hill, where the big glass hot-house thingy is, and the planetarium - that you can see from the freeway. NOT on top at the lookout cafe'.

There's also a car park directly across the road from the main entrance of the Botanical Gardens.

Everyone who particpates in the cruise and/or the show'n'shine must register first. The $2 covers you for the cruise, show'n'shine and entry, if you just want to have a look. You automatically are entitled to everything, but you are not required to do everything. Its all optional.

If you want to do just the cruise or both, obviously you'll have to get to the Botanical Gardens early to get your registration fee in.

If you only want to do the show'n'shine, just turn up at Lakeside and register and pay there. The cruisers will be expected to arrive around 11am, so if you going this way, then you might want to think about coming a lttle earlier or a little after 11:30am

A very worth while event & a great oppotunity to go cruisin in the beautiful Queensland sunshine.....try and keep me away.

I'll be there and I'll bring a mate with his R32GTR.

Im just trying to get my head around what this entails. Do we get to drive on the track, and do burnouts/drifts/skids and stuff? Or is it just a car show to support the reopening of lakeside?

awesome event Scott

great turnout, great cruise

some really nice looking cars there

numbers there i think doubled expectation (maybe even more)

sounds promising about it re-opening

great day

thanks :)

F**k all SAUers but. :) peoples you missed out on a top event

Hey guys just got back from lakeside and i gotta say it looks awesome. I hope the turnout was enough to get it reopened.There was about 6 of us there from SAU that i could recognise. I saw GTRgeoff, R33 S2, pnk32, s!k 31 and a couple of other skylines, including my R32 GT-R and my mates R33 GTST. For turnout we got hammered by the old school muscle and rotor crowds, but they were all so friendly and made positive comments on our cars so it was great anyway. Some of the show n shine cars were joking i hope, as i saw a bog standard late 80's falcon with the bonnet up amongst the showcars. :laughing-smiley-014: Oh and you guys are so friendly im coming to as many SAU events as i can from now on (work might give me some trouble but thats what sickies are for). Next time i hope to meet more of you.

What an outstanding turnout. I'm gobsmacked but absolutely amazed by the amount of support.

A really friendly day and I don't think it could happen elsewhere. I talked to heaps of enthusiasts, got around the track with Noel and Chris for a walk and relived some old times.

Pine Rivers, time to stop holding out. Re-open the track dammit. What greater message do you need? I think there was more there than for the stupid Copper support march.

Thanks for the efforts by the Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts for their great efforts in raising the profile of the plight of our track.

Twas a great day indeed. So many ghosts in that place. The track is still in remarkable condition given the years of neglect. Mow the lawn and go racing actually.

Great representation from most car clubs and a stunning turnout from the bike fraternity. Even the organisers were taken short by the numbers that turned out on the day.

If the powers that be cant see the absolute neccesity of reopening that place after today then it is doomed.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
