awesome work John, you've put a lot of effort in. Thanks

It is so HUGE... A little blocky up close but no one will miss us.

[Bluprint]

I will be in Civic tonight but I can't make it to our Friday night spot so I'll just post here - like previous years I'll just be at the Futsal stadium about 8:15am on Sunday morning to get my entry sticker, and anyone that wants to join me on the pre-show cruise to Marques in the Park can meet me there.

Just a quick note to say if it is wet, an alternative location will be found. I will post urther information in the event of bad weather.

[Guest]

See you all tomorrow morning. The weather forecast doesn't look too good.

I'll have SAU ACT stickers to hand out.

[Glenieboy]

See ya's at futsal all. I should be there by 8ish. :laughing-smiley-014:

A quick update,

I'm running a little late this morning.

I spoke to the organisor last night and he said he would organise a different location and tell everybody at the fotsal stadium. (wet park = no traction for 2wd's). We might end up at DFO??? who knows.

There has been no email to say it has been cancelled.

UPDATE: Just confirmed, it is still on and at the same location. MICK!!! please bring the tent early. Everyone else, bring some umbrellas until it fines up.

[CeJay]

ah cool. i'll probably come, umbrella in tow lol.

[Michele]

Yes, crappy weather, but a great day all the same... pity you guys DIDN'T GET YOUR TENT!!!!!! It would have been much nicer to stand out of the rain.

Great turn out everyone. Huge success.

The banner looked great. Big thanks to Stinkypoo for the use of the R31 banner poles as we seemed to be missing something. I have the poles at my house.

We ended up with about 16 cars all up, and considering the weather, that was huge.

Special guest apparence by a tough R34 GTR towards the end, and we might just see it's younger sibling at "Wheels" in March.

We need to encourage a few more skylines to attend the "Wheels" event, particularly those many R33 and R34 GTRs in Canberra. If you know of someone, please invite them. If we get enougth GTRs attending we will make a special formation for them.

Thanks John for organising the day and bringing the banner, looked good, fair few cars there as well, was a good day.

[RobMz]

Thanks lads for a great day, it was great to finally meet some of you and put a few faces to names. There was some truly standout cars today from our ranks and other factions, fantastic to see a strong turn out even in less than appropriate conditions.

Until the next time we meet,

totally forgot about this today ... damn

I was originally going to go on a NSW cruise with my other car club but had to bail from the other cruise due to a lack of funds ...

If I remembered bout this I would have come along instead ...

[Melly]

I didnt get to come until just before everyone left But the few cars i saw i liked!!

(If anyone was there at the very end I was there with the guy with the white r33 with the 400RGTR front bar, carbon fibre bonnet and it arrived with a black Nissan GTIR) I know there were two people I met, one with the black skyline (Very last to leave) And a guy with a silver GTR that mentioned the wheels event in March to us.

If it was in another 3 weeks I would have been there with my Skyline!

I was the GTR. Sorry I had to run off so quickly. Sounds like you should have a car ready for wheels display in March.

Was a good day, And was good to see ya's all again. A big thanks to Zenith, for the stickers also. Was a shame about the weather, but at least it did ease as the day went on.
