Just got home after a long day, big thanks to everyone involved in organising it.

Saw a few pics of my car already :P (Grey R32 4-door)

Was good to put a few names to faces finally.

My 3 favourites there would have to have been, Aus-spec R32 GT-R, R34 Z-Tune and of course the Hakosuka. 3 rare cars.

Looking forward to more pics!

absolutely awesome day, huge thank you to all the organisers. First SAU event i've participated in since joining and if they are all similar to this this then i cant wait for the next one :P It was also great meeting some of you, especially some of the local canberra members :banana:

didn't get to many photos this time around... was to busy driving and socializing :P:banana:

THanks for all the hard work putting this together.

Great introductory skylines event for me and my son. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he realised we had won a model Calsonic R32 GTR! Very generous prize for my humble GTST!

Some good pics coming up :P

Here's some of mine, nothing too flash just taken with my little point and click.

He's a skyline fan?

Bring him to a Texi as a passenger in an entered car, there was a young bloke there last time as a passenger in (I think) his older brothers car. You have never seen a kid smile as much as that kid haha

Wow what a great day, even thought the weather was not the best.

Big thanks to Terry and the SAU members who made this day happen was great to see so many Skylines in one place and be part of it.

Here are some images of the day

I am so dissapointed i couldn't make it looks like it would have been a good day better than sitting watching the once great race which is now the holden only race by the look of it

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
