Photo Shoot: its polishing time!!!

[tridentt150v]

I wouldn't get too agro on the day, we don't want low life scum for sure, but we do want more members and ppl who think skylines r kewl. Who knows, we may get someone selling their commonwhore or falcoon and joining the import fraternity.

'More bees to honey than vinegar'.

But weeding out the scum, how do we do it??? its a hard one, maybe a Breaker Morant 'rule .303' is the G-O.

[NJR 34GTT]

I think it would be fairly easy?

Since nearly everyone coming would be in a skyline themselves then they would only have friends with them and I'd imagine they were trustworthy.

I'm paranoid though. Always get worried when I see people checking out my 34.

Back to the photo shoot:here's a heads-up for anyone wanting to take photos this weekend that aren't as knowledgable as gtir_94(not a p##s-take-his photos came out pretty good,I reckon):go and get the current issue of SPEED magazine.In the middle there's a section all about do's and don'ts of photo taking when it comes to cars...penned by some of the good mag' phtographers themselves.Might help us out a bit,I guess.

And as for lowlife thieving scumbags,maybe as a friendly gesture,when we're standing next to someone we don't know by face looking at various cars,introduce yourself!I pretty sure we all have a grasp on SAU nicknames/names/"handles".Not only will we be able to say "G'day" personally to people we only know in cyber-Skyline-space,but it might just spook off these idiots if we meet 'em face to face..."I'm LTS Jayce;and you are...?"

haha i remember, at the pizza night at APK iu turned up early, and andrew (GTS_DUY) and me where out the front for about 30 seconds waiting before we realised and introduced ourselves. it was pretty funny!!

[gtir_94]

There ya go gtir_94, the film crew can now film your car being towed hahahaha

Been there man, had ABC TV do some filming of me getting defected as part of the police/rtas 'Summer Blitz' of 2003.

Wasn't impressed, particularly when the inspector told me I was 93dB, but once I got to work and looked at the defect notice he put I was 110dB.

With gangs and stuff as suggested, thats the reason I think a few guys, including myself now, keep what they got under the bonnet close to their hearts, and not become show-ponies the moment someone takes a little interest.

Weather for Saturday and Sunday doesn't look good

[Veilside R33]

you shutup with those comments Jay!!!!!! haha

your just trying to scare me arent you??

im gonna bury my head in the sand till sunday, and hope for sun!!!!

[Jay95R33]

LOL - yepp, hope for sun....

I think it was my fault. I washed my car the other day, then the chick next door washed her car too... That's just asking for a week of rain

[jnr_j]

So are the photos going to be taken straight away in the middle of the day, or later on for enhanced lighting?

(Have to leave Sydney on Sunday morning to get back in time)

[Veilside R33]

not so sure now, as a few of the more experienced photographers have suggested later afternoon shots, i guess we can do both?

thoughts guys?

[jnr_j]

Doing it later in the afternoon will save me a world of trouble with the g/f... am scheduled in to spend time with her parents/grandparents in Syd that morning - she doesn't like the idea of me ditching that for a car photo shoot!

My vote is for any time after say 3pm.

[Amaru]

I say we meet up at 1PM, go for cruise to the cotter have the BBQ and then investigate the photos (would be almost 3pm by then). Also the showers are meant to be clearing sunday morning, so fingers crossed.

[SkyGTRline]

Sorry guys, as much as i want the sun, and to not think of the rain, i just heard on the radio that saturday will be like 17 with a bit of sun. Then showers developing in the afternoon. for sunday they will continue, and also a chance of snow! :S

So it aint sound good, But ALL fingers crossed for that sweet sun to break throu

Ummm...should we still stick to the 12 o'clock meeting point(the Flags)as we've all been on about for the last 3 weeks?Only that we may trip up a few people if we change it to 1.Then we can Barby/eat/tell stories before doing misd arvo' photos?

[Jay95R33]

Yepp, if it's at 1pm then I've got less chance of being able to make it

[GTS_DUY]

Yeh keep it at 12, it's already planned, i've planned my work and stuff for 12..

Taken from bureau of meteorology

Sunday : Showers and snow showers on ranges gradually clearing.

Min: 0 Max: 12

[Amaru]

yeah sounds good 12 at flags, i was just trying to buy myself an extra hour in case of a big nite saturday, how selfish of me :Oops:

[jnr_j]

Ok, sure.

Can someone who expects to hang around the whole time volunteer a phone number so I can call and find out where you guys are when I get back?

[Veilside R33]

yeah pm me for my number.

i already have tridents and i'll call him asap, sunday morning.

worst comes to worst and it pisses down we can always go for a cruise somewhere and have lunch.

would be a shame to waste the day after so much effort and planning.

[Amaru]

its meant to be raining lightly in the morning and clearing up, so i say we still meet and re-assess the situation then

[leech_]

as long as its not dirt rain i dont care hehe i dont want to spend 2 hours cleaning my car for it to rain on it
