I wont be making it to this one spoke to the missus and she said its to close to our bubs being due and she doesn't really want to go to a small hospital if she did go in to labour.

Damn shame but will defiantly be going to the next one.

Thats cool mate, family first...

Would like to get another Stag to replace MrRS4.. preferably an RS260, any volunteers ?

Does anyone have an early (1970's) GTR and want to enter ?

She is due on the 23rd of nov so anything can really happen between then and the date i was going to go and leave her down here. But then there is that possibility i would have to leave and break a bit of law on the way home to get home so quick.

Its all good, the health of your wife/child is more important than the show You're always welcome to come incase you can find other arrangements, and I'm sure we'll get another person to come so dont stress

Just got off the phone from another tent company which Shane pmmed me about last night, this one is based in the riverland and will already be at the loxton oval with other tents. For a 4.5 x 4.5 mt tent (which will fit 22 people and a trestle table) the cost would be $270. obviously this is a bit more than the place based on adelaide, however the benefit is a) pete doesnt have to haul it from adelaide and b) they will set the tent up and take it down for us - leaving us more time to work on the cars... it'd bump the group fee up to $20-$25 but I'm sure people would prefer to pay the extra $5 than have to worry about setting up a huge tent.

Everyone think this is ok?

[Rbware]

That sound like a better idea for the club .

[Aberax]

I am fine with it.

[SLED]

I'm easy..........and I'm OK with the decision too

[Nightcrawler]

Yep same.

I assume we are going to have to put in some $$ toward some form of decorating around the cars (like chequered flag runners or something?) .... so a 'participation fee' from SAU:SA is not unreasonable at all for everyone to be able to chill out and relax, and make our display kick-ass.

Are you still up typing reports like me Pete?

[RubyRS4]

Jesus you buggers have no life!

I reckon its a top idea also

[Dohmar]

Maybe, maybe not. Cara has the nissan flags and the SAU banner, which I hope to get within the next couple of weeks so I can give them a good clean

Because the show is on an oval, we don't worry about flooring for the event - a nicely dressed car on lawn always looks good.

I'm getting my A3 display placard professionally printed and framed, which will cost around $120 which is a once off payment and can be used at other shows

I was also considering getting a bar towel with the GTR logo (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Nissan-Vintage-Classic-Skyline-Logo-Emblem-Sports-Towel-60090) or the beach towel (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-Logo-Beach-Towel-59900) and chucking a little 1:18 model on top, only problem is I'd be worried that someone would want to nick it I'm also going to have a sticker or two from my mechanic, because he's been helping me out bigtime - if anyone wants to represent the people that work on their car, I'm fine with that (and its a cheap way to dress the car up and show your love to your mechanic/detailer/etc)

Towel and placard should be enough for myself, everyone is free to customize the display as they see fit. More nissan/skyline/gtr merchandise would be great though

I'm glad everyone is keen about this (and willing to contribute to the display). We have around 8-10 people confirmed so far, and I've sent messages to the last 4 to confirm their interest. I'll be at villis around 7pm tonight for a general brainstorm if anyone wants to come along.. I have some ideas which will make the display uber, but it all comes down to money and time

and something to note about having a model car there is that on a warm day theres a high chance it will melt. and its gonna be a hot day.

I'm happy to just park the Stagea on the lawn with a simple A3 list of details ... doors open and music pumping ... like at Kadina

Cool Rubes, did you already have an A3 detail list made up or do you want assistance? I have basic photoshop skills but nowhere near Damo or Vu's ability

I've got the Adobe Suite ... so I'm all sorted

[Damo_R34]

ill finally have access to the Master Collection soon, finally, so club stuff will start looking better and better, combining InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is where its at.

I should consider doing a placard for the bike, but I wouldn't know where to start nor have the tenacity or will at the moment.
