Toowoomba Skyline Owners

[olloSKYLINEollo]

We are need to be on our best behaviour when driving our imports around guys. Front page of The Chronicle this morning.

If speed is deemed the cause of the accident i have a funny feeling that the police will be trying to crack down on us even harder.

I was almost could of been pulled over on Friday night on my way home from a friends place after a house warming. Lucky I was almost at home and they must or thought I turned off onto another street near home or they were sent out on a real call but as soon as they saw my tail lights they did a U turn pretty damn quick.

Haha they'd probably try to defect you for having too many turbos Lucky you pulled up in time lol....not that you have anything to worry about eh?

Yeh well as far as driving goes we have nothing to worry about. We drive around like grannies lol...and I have people that will vouch for me and my slowness haha! Maybe I should change my name on here to Captain Slow

As always it's a select few that ruin it for us all. In my area there're a couple fellas that never drive anywhere normally - always flat-footing it. I guess the attitude the fuzz adopt is guilt by association, ie, own a Skyline / JDM import and you're a hoon/terrorist which makes it quite hard for the rest of us who're trying to repair the poor image that ACA has given us lol

Hope the blokes recover but tbh the article wasn't too bad in terms of import hate. Usually they are littered with buzz words such as "high powered" "highly modified" and the like. It seemed to stick to the raw facts and not have any assumptions that speed and/or recklessness was involved given the make of the vehicle, and the fact that non-turbo cars never crash.....guess you're safe Nick.

If anyone is interested there is a happy laps happening at QR on the 15th (it's a sunday) I will be cruising down to watch (the Vspec's happy laps and drags days are over) but if anyone is keen on cruising down with me, let me know.

Going to do a cruise and a hard park on either the 28th of this month or the 4th of August, I want to do something before I head down to Eastern Creek for WTAC. So which date suits most is the one we will go with.

The cruise will be just to get to know a few of you new guys that are out there and the hard park/ drinks at my place (only for people I have already have met and trust the location of my place, YES I am that paranoid) for me_larr (Nick). I think it's Nikk_666 turn to bring the grog as well

Would you like to do a joint Brisbane/Toowoomba cruise; meet up somewhere in the middle (eg esk) and then drive a local road? We were planning on having one around that time anyway and it'd be nice to meet the Toowoomba blokes again.

edit: sorry, reread your post, that's probably not the kind of cruise you were after. However, would like to do something like that later this year.

[sonnyQ]

Either date is good for me at this point. Really am keen to meet up with the new guys. If we were to do a meet up with the bris guys I am sure we could arrange a meet up around Somerset, do that run and hit up a pub feed for lunch. We can have a drink at my place if needed as I am the king of my castle

[me_larr]

^ Wish I could say I'm king of my castle

I need to ask permission first to get funds for stuff I want to buy.

I must be doing something wrong!

Chris - Sounds good. I'm up for either date. I can contribute grog too I suppose

I don't drink but...

So if we're all taking turns to share in the drinks, slot me in one time and I'll be happy to oblige (only if its at someone's place)

[Captain Natro]

Ok, just to put my input in either date is fine just the regulars ie Tom Chris Clint text me or fb me before hand with updates. But yes, I shall provide a. A bottle of scotch & b. A carton of coronas.

But yes, im in definitely...

[sonnyQ]

Check out the sau qld site Craig - there is an event Sunday morning

[Captain Natro]

I'm not doing anything to your nizzel Tom .

If all goes to plan ill be at the happy laps on Sunday.

[tommis85]

Lol...would you do it for a drive in the GTR?

Damn if only ma ride was ready...why is it that every time we have happy laps there's something with my car.....and then, when my car is fine sweet F A is happening

That's because there is always something wrong with your car or your always doing something to it

Happy Laps at QR on Sunday morning. Leaving T'bar around 5 and heading down for a look

[tommis85]

I'm definitely going for the next one to put it thru it's paces

[kezza_005]

Going for a cruise sounds good the 4th of Aug would suit me a little better but I should be able to make on the 28th as well.

[Captain Natro]

So, what's the go for the happy laps. Can I just rock up pay money and jump on the track or is there more to it then that?

[me_larr]

They still have space dude. Should be able to rock up and pay, eat your brekky and go have fun.

Hope you're a SAU member cos non-member prices are through the roof now....kinda too exxy for me to join happy laps as it stands

I think even spectators have to pay(?) so no perving for me...

[sonnyQ]

I wouldve thought spec's could sneak in for free if they didn't have brekky?
