Maybe make the 'location' field in ppls profile madatory ??

Sounds good !! I don't get my car for another month though..... I'm keen for a cuise when I get it..

Mark, Were in Lawrence St (Harbord) on Saturday ?? Pulling out of driveway there of a block of units ?? About 3:15Pm ??

Hey - was that you on the M2 travelling east at about 12:00-12:30 today ??? I was travelling the other way, saw a white '96 - Thought u might be coming back from Hills ?? BF

Damn Straight - sounds good - I'll keep y'all posted on the progress of my car. Cheers,

I don't think he Built the Yalta - He just designed the hull - It's a huge big chunky V - Heaps good for chopping thru small swell - When you get her up on a plan, she just splits the water. Pity I have to sell her but I need the cash. I got her from Enterprise Marine at Narabeen (Chris) you may know it.

Thanks Eric , Shell !

Cool Prank ! Haines are nice boats - You pay top dollar for them too. You know the Yalta's hull was designed by John Haines - They call the Yaltacraft a 'poor mans' Haines - Cause it is nearly as good, but heaps cheaper. (or should I say - more cost effective) Mine can navigate Pittwater by itself........

Go here for a look: (warning - largish pic) http://members.ozemail.com.au/~bfaulds/forsale/paj.jpg

How long did you guys have to wait for customs clearance and compliancing ?? ie After the boat arrived in port ?? Cheers BF

Woooo hoooo Only 2 weeks to go till it gets into Aus. Sorry, I'm excited & I just had to tell someone..........................

I'm in the North and need to get a Brant alarm - My car comes into Aus in 2 weeks, then has to be complianced - So not sure if the timing is right ! BF

May the ideas flow - As someone once said " The more minds, the better"

Thanks for the history ppl, I understand where you are coming from. I goota say THANKS to all involved in setting up the forums and the club as it stands today - Everyone has been very helpful - And I have learnt heaps along the way. I'm sure there a lots of ppl out there that would like to contribute to the forthcoming success of SAU. I know I want too - just gotta get my Skyline. You guys ust have lots on your agenda - hey. I know WRX clubs can get heaps good discounts on parts, insurance, tunes, clothes and other stuff. Anyone know how many Skylines there are in Australia and broken down by state, this may make a good 'penetration' benchmark. Also may explain lack of participation in NT and TAS. Let me know if there is anyhting I can do to help - I am very good a making fairy bread ;-) Cheers,

Sorry guys, I got out on the wrong side of the bed today !! If this 'Ideas' forum is for serious ideas - Why are there threads on Smiles and Avatars. Surely stickers are more important (sic). And SDU must be over it by now. Why has NSW club got 2 VP's ?? I'm sure each deserves a pos on the board, but maybe there should be a distinction ?? If the club is advertising itself as a national club, why do we have seperate state clubs ?? May be a recipie for disaster ?? How is the board elected ? I know that to start off with , ppl who are doing the most get the positions - But what is the policy on board members moving forward ? What is the board doing to encourage new members to bring forward their ideas for the club/forums ongoing ? How can VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD, WA etc chapters be integrated into a national club ? BF We should be encouragng as many ideas and opinions as possible to these forms, so to enjoy the longevity of the club.
