Terminology

[ozziefly]

Hey all,

Not to sound like a complete noob when i ask this but there are some things that i have been reading in the forums that i don't quite understand. please correct me if i have posted in the wrong forum for this, and the reason im posting in Vic thread, is because il hopefully be joining the club when i get my skyline in melbourne.

the things i dont understand are "DECA", i read this word when i was reading the list of events.

thanks all,

Ozziefly

DECA = Driver Education Centre of Australia

http://www.deca.com.au/FacilitiesShepparton.aspx

"DECA Day" etc refers to the DECA facility in Shepparton that we use quite regularly to have motorkhana and drift training events at.

Enjoy Cerberus mate... the food there it shit house.

Make sure ya get outside the gate to the B&B, food is 10 times better. Or millie's on the base hehe

[ozziefly]

Hehehe thanks Nis, im sure its better than Nismoid and apparently from a couple of mates, they dont reckon its that bad.

Nis, are you by any chance near cerberus?

[R31Nismoid]

Nah, im basically city.

I just spent a lot of time down there years ago as my best mate is in the Navy

Its bad enough by my standards put it that way... well, its ok for a while

You Navy/Army or AF?

If your coming from somewhere remotely warm, make sure you bring jackets, its filthy down there 3/4 the year being where it is.

But when you go to western port its even worse

[ozziefly]

Navy bro,

thanks for the weather advice man,

il be moving down from The whitsundays in Queensland so yeh i think they will supply most of the gear i would need, well i hope so,

if worst comes to worst, il sleep with the skyline heater on

[R31Nismoid]

Ah so you'll be here for at least 12 or 18months i think ye?

Ya poor bloke... your going to freeze down here lol.

You dont get casual gear though, you'll need some super size me jackets

[ozziefly]

OR what i could do is purchase a Vic SAU jacket

i like my thinking

[R31Nismoid]

[ozziefly]

what il do is, come to a meet and get my membership sorted, get some peeps to look at my car and just intro myself to the crew, if thats ok?

[R31Nismoid]

Of course mate!

You will be able to sign-up online soon too, no more forms and shit

Just checkout the member thread:

Got all the info there!

[ozziefly]

Thanks for the info,

ive actually been reading about the club and various things all day so i think ive learnt alot so far,

im actually starting to think about the actual loan im going to take out and the various items im going to need when getting my car, im thinking just a GPS to start off with?

[paulr33]

LOL... my mate was reading the title of some vids i sent him and thought that DECA had something to do with Deca-Durabolin

So its this...

Not this...

mate you are more than welcome to a meet. the thing is tho most of the smaller ones are not organised by SAUVic but just some of the guys off the forum. fun stuff but im afraid we cant help you with membership. however come to one of the monthly meetings (second tuesday of each month i think) committee members should be there and you'll be able to sign up. or else just do it online like ash sed.

[ozziefly]

Yup no worries on that one, im more than happy to sign up after ive done my recruit training in cerberus as i wont be able to make any events before that time. thanks alot for the information and im glad you have welcomed me in.
