EDIT - Bad news.... see posts below...

That's right

are you too young to remember seeing "Godzilla" in the flesh ???

are you too young to remember hearing the sound of this beast on a race track ??

Well, get your arse down to Eastern Creek raceway for The Council of Motor Clubs Annual Display Day

Sponsored by Shannons Insurance, this day is a must for any car enthusist with thousands of cars and traders on display.

But, Back to the GT-R,

The current owner of the Gibson Collection has lived up to his promise to make these cars more accessible for Nissan Enthusists and will be taking the Bathurst winning GT-R on parade laps around the circuit - along with other great Group A and Group C racing cars of it's era will be there too.

Don't miss it

Sunday - 18th August

Hi Shell,

Not sure about any Sierras.

There are a couple in the Club (Historic Group C and Group A Racing club) - the ex-Seton PJ Sierra I have seen at one or two events before. I am sure they are all invited, just not sur if the sierra owners will be there.

Not 100% sure on price - knowing Eastern Creek, it will probably be about $15 to $20 I would guess.

I must mention, last year there were historic bus rides too ( yes, I lapped EC in a 1940's double decker bus)

Give Estern Creek a call for full details.

It would have been good to see a couple of sierra's (I've always had a bit of a soft spot for them)...but seeing the GTR will make up for it :D hehe

OK, Good news......

The GT-R (as well as at least 5 other Group A / Group C cars will be there..)

The Bad news

The GT-R will NOT be able to do parade laps due to the fact that the person who has the special size wheel brace, has taken it interstate with them, and nothing else they have will fit. The lock nuts on the car at the moment are not OK to drive on (they are the tie down hoops only) so it would be dangerous to take the GT-R out under those conditions - sorry guys..

It will still be a great day regardless - and I will still be out there....

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
