Big Boys Toys Night

[sab]

For those that have been to Chadstone for this know what a great night it is.

This year the Big Boys Toys night will be on the 15th of Feb and we are extending an open invitation to all clubs to set up club displays at no charge. This is a great opportunity to have your club recognised in the public arena.

There will be LOADS of giveaways, LOADS of HOT promo cars and even some sweet rides from the pimp my ride crew as well. More info will be posted shortly.

So if you are interested in participating as a club please PM me for more info.

More info would be good if we are to consider a display - on behalf of the SAU Vic Committee, you have PM.

Any chance of some pictures from last year?

I've never heard of this before (I don't get out much) - just curious on the layout etc.

Sounds interesting. Is it inside event, or out on Princess Dandy road?

Will have to double check, previous years have been inside out the front of Myer.

But this years will have the entire car park from post office entrance to match box entrance sectioned off.

If you have ever been to Chadstone thats a MASSIVE car park, its going to be BIG.

Its a night for manufactures to bring out all there new toys etc, but Chadston are having a major focus on cars this year. With intentions to keep the focus on cars in years to follow.

I have sent info to Bec already so just awaiting final confirmations from Chadstone which will be on Wednesday.

Cheers

How with this go with all the negative media on car enthusiasts in general?

How many years has it been run?

[sab]

It will be similar to Auto Salon in set up fully sections off area, with security more like a car show really.

I think Chadstone has been having Big Boys Toys Night for 2 or 3 years now but like i said it was mainly focused on gadgets (mobiles, ipods, computer etc) in the past but this year will have the MASSIVE car focus.

What happened there tonight. It was meant to go till 9pm. I rocked up about 7:30 with a mate and there was hardly anything there. Big crowd around a nice looking blue RX8, and cops there writing him a fine. From what I gathered when asking a few randoms, the cops rocked up and just started picking on everyones cars for roadworthiness. I dont know if anyone caused problems (ie burnouts in the carpark or anything) but the cops were just going around looking for cars to pick on. Quite a lot of jap cars there. Anyone else go?

PS: Some guys walking together said something to me while I was driving around looking for a car park, couldnt figure out what they said until after. Basically said "too late the cops are here". Sorry if it was someone here and I had a confused look on my face

[MissJuz]

Apparently...

One of the guys that was defected has posted in that thread.

What a disapointment for Chadstone and the people that took their cars down there to assist in the BBT static car display. The people that were harrassing the TMU by singing chants to them should be ashamed, they were not the owners of the vehicles yet they could be held partially responsible for the Police Officers negative reaction to the display, there are way to many idiots around.

Matt - Did you get done? I hope not.

[West]

So glad i didnt' go.

What a joke it was, an organised event got ditch by the cops lol.

Auto saloon here they come!

[Mavric]

Hey Sab what was your view on the night????

From the above read sounds very disappointing on behalf of the police if they just came in and booked people for "showing" their cars.....
