Haha - Thanks E. email coming...

OK - you asked for it: The first 'official-ish' club meeting. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member or would like to be more involved with the committee is welcome to attend. When: Sunday 2nd November Where: Not sure yet - will be somewhere central. Watch this space Time: 2.00pm til whenever Hopefully, this is where we can effectively move forward to signing up paid members and bringing-forth all the goodies that it entails. There's plenty of warning this time - so please try to make it along. James

Very sorry to hear BE Was there any damage to the car itself (aside from the console)? This is getting far too common. I recall a few years back there was a spate of petty roberies (car stereos, mobile phones et) as a shipment of high-grade heroin had hit the streets... All the talk of setting up a car as 'bait' to catch people seems fine in merrit - but really will serve no greater purpose than getting those involved into trouble with the law. I too want retribution. 4-times this year between the 2 cars - and I'm rightly p*ssed off about it. Just not sure what to do...

OK - no longer sticky. Seems that Sunday is the ideal. New thread to that effect being posted...

Yeah. Sounds good.

Thanks guys. I'm all up for finding these little sh*ts, taking them to the woods, and leaving them there. Nobody f*cks with a Lada. I live in a dead-end street, but there's a walkway that joins up the SYE Tennis club and Hawksburn Rd. This is where they are coming from. I'd love to take them home to 'mummy and daddy' and explain what their little angels have been up to - whilst mentioning that 'his face was like that when I found him, must have walked into a spade or something'. Cops were sympathetic but agree they are unable to do anything about it. Will keep an eye out in the pawn shops on Chapel for the CB. More annoyed about the damage to the car though - new console, dash panel, roof, kick panel - little f*cks. Looking to move house anyway - just going to expeadiate the process.

Doxx: Yeah - was an old one. Smokey and the Bandit style. Nark: I think the time for taking this stitting down has been and gone. I'm getting righly upset about it all. I think a few broken fingers and the word 'THIEF' tattooed on their faces would suffice.

The Lada got broken into again during the day yesterday. CB stolen, dash and console all smashed up. Roof damaged. Pretty p*ssed off - you just can't get rare Lada parts from Repco. Goddam communisim This is getting pretty f*cking annoying now - 3rd time on Niva. I know it's just the local kids - but by golly, that doesn't stop me from wanting to beat the living snot out of them. Take the f*cking CB - but don't smash up my car. Little c*nts. So - if anyone is offered, or sees a '2nd hand' Electrophone AM/SSB CB radio for sale in South Yarra - let me know. My ball-kicking foot is getting itchy...

Great to see the banner come in handy - hod did you get it strung up? How did the Playstations go? Good work to all - and always good to see more purple GTRs

The sticky posts are no longer bold either. Looks like someone's been playin'...

Paint looks really nice and sparkly

Oyabun - Yuri wants to sell the 180 and buy a Cefiro. I told her to talk to you...

Good work guys. Do you have any photos of the stand?

Inasnt: Yeah, I feel a bit off the movie pace at the moment. BftE was still good watching though

Oh - and while I'm reviewing... also saw Final Destination 2. My one-word review: Harsh. Slightly more extended version: Very harsh. I see now that Hollywood is using the power of CGI for evil rather than good. Kinda like George Lucas (Greedo shooting first - bah! I liked Han Solo better as a scoundrel). I have never seen people killed in such grotesque, graphic and imaginative ways. I felt pretty harrowed by the whole experience. Cool (and bloody) car-crash at the start though. Always new Chevy Suburbans exploded on impact Nice cameo from the Candyman. See it if you like blood and guts and seeing people squashed by glass.

I know this is a little 'welcome to yesterday' - but I saw this for the first time on the weekend... The stupid UK presenters make Ellis, Donnon and co sound like the Discovery Channel. I mean a car-magazine calling it a 'Skyliner' and noting an SR20DET powered S14 has an 8-valve engine? Hmmm. Plus that disrespectful UK-only soccer holigan style humour is best kept in the UK and should never be shown to anyone, ever. These things aside - the footage of Nagata san doing a 328km/h Wangan run in an R33-GTR all but makes up for everything else on the DVD. The other highlights are a very 'drifty' corner taken on a busy, rainy, city street - and the S13 doing a burnout that all-but melts the road. BenHPI - if you read this: The HPI DVDs are vastly superior in nearly every way. Keep up the good work - but try and get some crazy Shutoko/Wangan footage in - absolutely sensational. Oh - there's another 'movie' on the same DVD about the UK car scene... I'm so happy we (Australia) followed the Japanese culture and not the Brits. Front-wheel burnouts in Barinas surrounded by pale, toothless poms... Blimey

Jeez Ed! Glad you OK. I think some consolory beers are in order. The poor little Corolla. Perhaps it was an unlucky weekend to be the other car. Some idiot I know went out for a drive in his convertible 4WD on Saturday night. Drank lots. Did the responsible thing and left the car at the pub - came back on Sunday to find it full of water as this chump had left the roof down. Boy - I'd hate to be him...

In Syd - go speak to Unique Auto Sports. Should set you back about $1200 a pop.

I'm looking to go to around 250awkw. Will be very happy with that. Fast, fun and managable.

Dex: The very same Entry from Queens Rd or Lakeside Dr. I'll be there about 7.30pm - driving the Lada today...

Done

Like it says. Treat weekdays as 7.30pm onwards Treat weekends as afternoons (2.00pm) Regular meets will be at the same location, same time - every fortnight.

Good thinking Pred. Fortnightly is a good idea. Will post poll...

I understand many people have to work - perhaps Wed not the best time for 'member' meets. We need to do a full-deal weekend jobbie. How about at AKTs go-cart event. We make that a bit bigger to get everyone along? Sat Nov 1 - see events forum.
