Hey camma, I need to know where the final destination is so I can pitch this to the journos. They are hard enough to sell sh*t to, they have to book crews and all kinds of crap so let me know asap.

Also who did you speak to at NCA? I think I might be able to help in that regard also.

Yea im with leigh....

Gravel carpark and nice cars dont mix..

Stickers are good, maybe on pub tuesday they can be given out.. and even on the day.

Although the more lines the better... but keeping the club seperate from outsiders would be good....incase they do something stupid... "There not with us"

Stevie the NCA have been contacted and I require a joint decision from them and the Museum before approval to use the car park can be provided. I spoke to the Venue and Bookings Coordinator on Wednesday and she was confident about providing an answer early next week.

Whats the plan with the Journos are they going to the meeting place or destination or both?

Heres a thought just for the SAU crowd, and this might be a bit early but should we all meet up before we go to starting place with the rest of the clubs. So as that we can all park in same area, and it would look cool. lol.

I will wait until you get a decision from the NCA and the Museum then once thats approved I can draft up a small release about the cruise and what charity the money wil be donated to etc... And then I will do a ring around and see if I can get WIN and the ABC to turn up ( this would give great local TV coverage) and the local papers might be interested too. Although I will say now, getting journos to come to anything is a struggle (funny how its impossible to keep them away when you dont want them around!)

The best we could hope for is some journos turning up at the museum. I will have to have a long chat to you as we get closer to the date to discuss the details.

camma on another forum:

OK, the ACT AFP have been informed and I have recieved a response.

An extract from the response....

"AFP - ACT Policing have no objections to the Charity Drive taking place on the 13th February 2005.

This is on the proviso that all conditions set by ACT Urban Services or

any other ACT Government Body are adhered to, any conditions set by any Federal Government Agency are to be adhered to."

and further...

"The responsibility for the running of the event rests with the event organisers, not the Australian Federal Police. It is the event organisers' responsibility to ensure that all officials involved in the event, along with those participating, spectating and the general public, are able to perform their business in a safe manner."

With that in mind I would like to advise that everyone who attends should drive in a safe manner, i.e. doesnt be a dickhead! I am now finding out what approval needs to be provided to become an "official event organiser".

And yep ALL funds raised will be going to the Red Cross.

Thanks mate.

As mentioned on my site I am still going through the approval process with the NCA and Museum to use the car park and have a meeting with the Venue and Bookings Coordinator to discuss logistics on Monday. Approval or otherwise will be provided on Monday. The destination will be the Cotter a map of the exact location will be provided closer to the date (once the meeting place is confirmed).

We currently have 11 clubs confirmed that they will be making an appearance. This is going to be a big meet.

Some clubs are thinking of going to the Kingo after the cruise so if your up for a few drinks, see you there!

It has now been confirmed. The NMA has approved use of teh carpark.

The museum carpark has been booked in for the 13th February from 10:00am to 11:00am. I will be there to co-ordinate where the cars are to parked for the meet before the drive.

Just a reminder that driving like a tard is not acceptable. Here is an example of what happens when drives go wrong...

With the cars people are bringing to the event we dont want anyone being stupid and damaging our prides and joy.

That said, should be a great drive and a big performance car meet for a good cause.

Stevie - are you able to do your thing with the media?

I just had a read of that thread and i hate to be a party pooper, but are we sure there will be enough room at the museum carpark? the posts in that thread keep saying that there wasn't enough space at the meetup point.

Just checking, is all - I'm really looking forward to this and you've done a great job camma. :rant:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
