Sau Does Autosalon 2007 Final Battle

[NSA11N]

Hey all,

For those who aren't aware of this, AutoSalon has always been in the pipe work for SAU. There have been issues in the past with entrant numbers and co-operation etc etc.

Early in May this year, i pulled together (with help) 10+ cars to display at AutoSalon - Sydney.

We had a really good time, an ok display, and one of the best attitudes a club could hold. Although we were new to it, we held our heads high and powered on - just missing out on a few awards.

At the end of the weekend, there was dicussion as to who was keen to possibly attend final battle later on in the year.......... Which brings me to now!

This weekend was the last and final AutoSalon for the year! Cars from all over the country attend the show, there are private enrties, club entries, and those who have won previous awards - the invitational class.

With many thanks in advance from all that attended this display, DR DOOF - Steve and SINFUL - Jess organised this weekend's little outing.

As a club we had 12 entrants - 3 pulling out towards the end left us with 9.

A night before the set up day - another problem arose, leaving us another Skyline down!

We ended up with 8 Skylines, from R32 GTS-T to R33 GTR and of course we can't forget, Lauren's little Mirage - we sure as hell know that when it grows up, it wants to be a Skyline!

Our display was quite an advancement form the last show. Thanks go out to Jay from (insert company here) for supplying us with plenty of lighting, audio, and quite a large plasma TV!

We all had a great time this weekend too, we weren't there to really compete, our aim was to have fun, and do what we do best as a club.

Now, what set this weekend off was a small discussion we had before leaving tonight:

Paul - "Hey Adam, how long are you going to hang around for tonight?"

Adam - "Not sure mate, there's not much point in staying, we're not likely to get a trophy! - however it may be worth a look"

..... And off we headed to the stage....

MOMENTS LATER>>>>>>>>>>>>> DRUM ROLL PLEASE....................

And the WINNER FOR "BEST CLUB ATTITUDE" for AUTOSALON 2007 FINAL BATTLE GOES TO.........

SKYLINES AUSTRALIA

Congratulations everybody! We've all done the club proud!

I want that trophy damnit!

Sorry I couldn't be there in the final stretch, but I felt like absolute rat shit! Remind me next time to NOT go out with Paul (Twoogle racing) on the saturday night...

I'm feeling a little bit better, but there is something very wrong with my throat...

Either way, I had a fantastic time, and I'm ready for the next one!

Also - A personal thank you must go out to Zilch (Steve) for lending me his rims... Hope you had fun on mine

Any time mate! Sorry I couldn't be there for the final leg of the show, but I appear to have come down with something and I didn't want to infect anyone...

It was fun pretending I owned two cars there though...

PS: I embarrased myself putting your car in place, I couldn't find reverse

[evil_weevil]

that is a great result guys top work!!

[Abo Bob]

I've done that in that car once.

[br3tt]

Looked good guys. Well done.

[Marsss]

someone post a pic of the trophy already

[pkblade]

Congrats fellas & display looked great. Also, did Twoogle crack 500kw & get the low mount turbo record?

Wish we (SAU-SA) could've afforded the transportation to come up & join you guys, as we were in the invitational class. Maybe next year.

[DRD-00F]

That is one tiny ass picture...

Hopefully someone has a better one...

"Best Club Attitude"... What does this exactly mean?

Stand looked good and car came up nice and shiny. Congrats to all who took place for the weekend. Was there any chance of getting any signage? Apart from the stickers on the cars (and the 32 Paul modified on Forza 2 ) if I was a random, I couldnt really tell it was SAU (unless I completely missed the signs).

Also a bit more colour may have been good, but hey, I couldnt do any better myself.

Good job anyway & congrats on the award
