R34 10th Anniversary Charity Cruise N Show N Shine

[GTR-N1]

A bit of trivia...

The "NISSAN" sign was on loan to us from Chris Reely marketing mngr of Nissan Motor Co (Aust) Eastern sector after Springwood Nissan was forced into receivership.

I just had to pluck up the 'guts' to ask him for it from an empty showroom lol.

A black R34 GT-R owned by Ron Perry stopped for a few minutes on Bells Line Of Road. His son needed a leak. 5 convoy cars stopped to render assistance!

Breenhold Gardens Estate owner came out to us organisers & asked us to move on to a (already full) picnic ground. Then he asked me if anyone was coming in.

That's when I realised that our parked cars were NOT good for his business. I didn't have the heart to ask him for the use of his toilet.

mxfly & I got an agreement all round that the organisers would wear orange shirts. Two organisers can't tell between orange and red.

mxfly had no chance of winning Best Wheels unless most of the judges were female. Pink wheel nuts indeed!

mxfly graciously gave up his Award for Best...... so that someone else could share in a Prize with the Award Certificate signed by Mark Skaife (due next week)

X2 that was an awesum sight and sound. Does anyone know what the go was with the rescue vehicles?

[Mr Cali]

Great day to test out some of my photography some good shots some bad... I was too lazy to use the tripod, regret it now

Here's a funny one I took, trying to make the car look like a toy

Here are the rest. Sorry if I missed anyone's rides, I would have either stuffed up or didn't get to your car cause i had to leave so early

[Mr Cali]

Photos are being doctored as I type. (Yay for CS3 Batch processing!)

I had an awesome day and it was a pleasure to be out again.

Special thanks to Pete (STYLN) for the shotgun seat and the steer on the way home, You bastard I want another Stagea now!!! LOL

Thanks to Tez & Co. for organising the event, Next time make sure the air temps are a touch warmer - I couldn't feel my hands after about 15mins lol.

Overall though it was an awesome day out.

[SXC-R34]

Kat - congratulations on your award!

Sorry I didn't know your name! haha. Im pretty sure it was "GTRKat from the forums" but I would've looked stupid if I was wrong.

[GTRKat]

Hehe thankyou! It's all good!

Must say it's pretty evil to have given me the Rays product lineup book!!! Mmmmmm TE37s

fantastic cruise today guys... even though bakes and i missed the first group (what a mission that was!! )... i had a ball of fun.. the cars were great... the organisation was great.. big props to terry and the crew.. the spot was fantastic... i think i took more photos of the surroundings then of the cars... congrats to the award winners.. lots of tough cars.. ill have a play with the photos and post em up tomorrow when i should be working...

i got a great photo of terry in action!

and so y'all know .... bakes's gtr has got some get up and go now its all tuned and it sounds fantastic.. i leave it up to him to fill you all in if he feels like it... but from the passenger seat... lots of fun.

one more thing... i hate to put a dampner on things... but who was the goof who punched it out the first round about in the gtr group... i think it was white... a light colour anyway... was last in the group.... seriously mate, nice way to show that skyline drivers are respectable lot... couldnt you have waited till you got a bit out of the populated area??

cheers all
