Members Without Skylines

[r_o_b]

Hi everyone, i was just wondering how many vic members are part of the club that dont own skylines just because i own an mr2. Im a member of other clubs but want to join a club that welcomes other cars other than mr2's. The reason for my question is because myself and a group of mates with different makes of cars were interested in joining a club.

[**JaR**]

half of SAU Vic own evos anyway....but any car is welcome

haha ok thanks. Well wen i get my licence ill join up asap. um slight change of topic, can somebody please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If i get my licence after july 1 will i be on the new licence system which doesent allow me to drive any skyline (turboed) or will i fall under the current system??? I cant seem to get a straight answer out of any1 so i thought i should see what u guy know.

That is the current system, so you are stuck with a non turbo

ok thanks, like i thought. Looks like im gonna have to make do with the 4age for the next 4 years or so. Really unfortunate though, a stupid system for a stupid public who believes in it. All the system changes is what cars people drive rather than the peoples mentality regarding unsafe driving.

So true, 100kph into a tree in a Skyline, WRX, Camry or Falcon is going to end up the same way.

The change of laws was the number 1 reason why I'm now driving a corolla. I hate the laws just as much if not more than you do.

I want to join SAUvic, but not sure what I can get out of it owning a Toyota. I'll go on a cruise and probably get left behind with my HUGE 1.3ltr.

At last count, about 40% of our members own something other than a skyline. This includes many 180sx's, S15s, S14s, WRXs, EVOs, Datsuns, various Mazda's, Holden's, a couple of BMWs and about 10 Toyota's

Adam/Rob - Alot of our events don't require a fast car/skyline anyway. You can always spectate, help out or jump in someone else's car for a cruise.. plenty of people do that already.

Grape grazing in Feb is a good example.. obviously you wouldn't want to be driving home, so there's an SAU bus

[Do-Luck]

I don't own a Skyline

[R-SPEC]

aw11's are still pretty fun cars, i know someone who's had his for about 8 years now and still not over it hehe....

if i was in your shoes i'd still get a turbo car but keep it all standard for now so you don't attract attention.

g'luck

I reckon the chances of getting caught for driving r32 during the sau cruises is pretty slim.

If i was a cop and saw a horde of skyline cruisers, id go after all the 300kw+ skylines

quite a few also own zeds

I think Kaz meant members in the club

[saff_cossie]

Yep as others have said, definately don't need a skyline. This club is more about enjoying the car you have safely and in the right environment regardless of marque.

Unless you plan on battling for the top 3 at events, you also don't need a fast car. Cruises with SAU VIC are just that, not a high speed run. Sometimes a twisty route is taken before getting some lunch and heading back. As an example, the weekend before last, a few of us did around the bay and having a few hundred kw or one hundred made no difference.

A number of social events take place outside of cars such as karting, pub meets etc so no need for a skyline or a fast car.

I was the first intruder into the club that didn't own a skyline or any other Nissan badged car when I first paid up. Don't worry about it too much, as long as you have an appreciation of the cars, then you'll be fine.
