I won't be able to make it next week (I'll be down the coast, hooray for first holiday in 2 years!) but I'll be in the week after. Was good to meet everyone last night.

It must have been the newie night where lots of people turn up. Next week it'll be four shady characters sitting at a table scaring all the customers away

No doubt.

I look dodgy enough with my half grown beard *shifty eyes*

God it's startin to itch, should never have agreed to grow one if I lost a bet!

The itch will go away eventually, you just have to get through it.

And then you will have a magnificent red beard, get paid out for being a ranga, cry, and then shave it all off.

...or maybe that's just me? :(

Hai Guys :action-smiley-069:

Twas a big turn out last night.

For those of you who actually listened to my incoherant ramblings last night (why? why would you do that?) here is a pic of a Subaru Brat (Brumby here) with jump seats.

I also found this peice of gold.

I'll buy whoever names the show that this is out of a Freddo next week (cause I'm a nice guy....or something)

I was banging on about the reason behind the jump seats. This here is ripped from Wiki:

American versions also had carpeting and welded-in rear-facing jumpseats in the cargo area—serving actually to circumvent a tariff known as the Chicken tax. Although the BRAT could fairly be called a truck, the plastic seats in the cargo bed allowed Subaru to classify the BRAT as a passenger car. Passenger cars imported into the US were charged only a 2.5% tariff, compared to 25% on light trucks.

And this is kinda along the lines of how my old Subi was.... I'll scan some old pics and post them up.

Morning mangs

Damn sounds like a good turnout last night! I promise I will be back.... but with my one point I try to not risk drawing attention to myself in mr riceline

What people actually showed up?

I feel I need to own a skyrine to be there. Otherwise I just stand there awkwardly. At least if I had a skyline everyone would ask what it's story is for 5 minutes then I would stand there awkwardly.

You shouldn't feel awkward

Each week a few guys in pintaras show up.

Another DT fan? O'rly? nice

How about CH one week, with Laserforce the next week, rinse repeat?

Also like the idea of alternating Pewpews and ikes cream.

Damn beat me to it, really wanted that freddo >_< lol

Praps moar than hwan Freddo?

Yeah, huge DT fan.

Did you see them at the convention centre in Dec 09? Holy crap..

Nah I didn't get to it. The last time I saw them was on their Chaos in Motion tour in '08.

At one time in the past I think we had 1 skyline, and a dozen or so dailys/shitboxes there.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
