OKay guys wherever we decide to meet i am up for helping out and ill turn up with the other wagga guys, someone metioned before about music or a dj, if you want one let me know as a mate of mine has a business which i often help out djing so im sure i can borrow a set of gear for a day or night just let me know.

Cheers adam

Mid Feb would be good - hopefully will cool a bit.

Hey Trident, I had a walk around LH camp the other day, that place would be great for a large scale meet later in the year. There would be parking for as many cars as you could think of, and being so isolated it offers a degree of saftey. Maybe a Autumn/Spring meet? Good time of year for some mountain cruises......

I like your thinking, if we get enough ppl interested, it would be ideal for a weekend meet/party.

How about we post onto the NSW/ACT/VIC forums once we establish a date... I think we need a show of hands (maybe a poll?) of who would really come... and would pay for it of course.

I kinda know the current owners, and I don't think it would be very expensive if we booked the whole place out. There would be bed accomadation for 60 - 80 people, plus BULK floor space - not to mention camping if anyone is THAT crazy.

So, lets get the ball rolling, April (even easter) would be a great time, Autumn is very nice up there as you know.

Anyhow LH camp = :rave:

I've also got some DJ stuff if we need it.

Yeah sounds kewl, but lets have a meeting about it with the rest of the 'local gang' and sort it out. If you could bring some accom. prices to the table so we know what we are looking at, that would be a start.

I reckon a meeting at the Shanty pub on Sunday the 30th Jan start at 1200 midday. I'll talk to Mick Neason and see if we can get a corner of the dining room.

If anybody here reckons otherwise please speak out. If I don't hear any different within a week [11th next Friday], I'll go ahead with it.

Then I reckon we'll be able to really organise a weekend bash.

We have to think about food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation.

Probably need deposits from those attending so we know exactly who's coming.

And, we are all different, all ages, and ethnic backgrounds etc etc etc so whatever we do we have to do for everyone. We all have or admire Skylines though..................

u don't even know wot yr gettin' into yet...lol

Up there for enthusiasm leech, good to see.........

lol well as long as its not to like melbourne and the roads arnt dirt/ huge pot holes i am fine for it (as long as some of my fellow canberra/struggle town peoples come with :D)

Some of the roads are a little ordinary, but you can drive around the big potholes :D

I'll make some calls and get the prices. Deposits a must, and I know a few people who would go to the meeting, me included :(

Definatley BYO though, its MUCH easier.

Tri n Co,

Alan the Vic vice pres is in town at the Nats. We had organised a dinner in Braddon and had 25 or so locals attend so we could Drink, eat and watch the cars cruise the strip. We mentioned this thread. Al appears keen, so are we (ACT), so we may be able to count on his support for the Vic's.

Nothing of real substance just general chit chat. So don't stop planning and organising. Just to let you know that momentum is gaining.

Thanks for your post. Plz let us know how the meet goes and if you want a Canberra voice/rep.

Edit: A Thought! If considering something like the Easter Weekend then maybe we should be thinking of our Bro's in SA. Depends on how big you want this shindig? Cubes is likely to be your man in SA. Again - Just a thought.

Yeah, We will meet up and have a look at how many people and stuff we can cater for... It could be bigger than ben hur. I missed the dinner but was in Braddon Saturday and met a few ACT guys, they seemed pretty keen to do something.

I'd guess if we could get 50 or so (which shouldn't be that hard) we could make it cost effective. We could cater, even do a throw around for charity... Tsunami maybe??? Get the media in? Around here most days are slow news, so that shouldn't be too hard. Also would be good to get some positive press, and exposure for the club.

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
