We should enter autosalon the next time it's at the exhibition centre and have a massive sign that says 'SAU The normal cars'

You do realise Autosalon ceases to exist now?

I'm not surprised either, their business decisions were atrocious.

Giving Car Clubs the rough end of the stick year after year when we all brought 20+ cars... Which MADE it a 400 car event...

Was silly cause they pissed us all off and overnight lost 60 entrants.

plus cars with 16pot caliper (2x8 sets), that couldn't actually drive would win brake awards over guys with a set of mint Alcons, on a driveable car, which is just dumb.

lol shows how much attention i payed to it..

Yeh and the show didn't evolve with car culture and styling nobody cares for a 318i auto BMW with chromies and a Lebanon flag airbrushed on the bonnet topped off with 11bty SUbs and neons

bro thats where its at.. ask flynn he knows

Wasteland going off today, love it.

Firstly it is 2011 and not 2006. Times change. The days of rocking up to an event with 100 cars is over. People, in vic anyway, are seriously paranoid. Its a great shame but true.

The club exist to benift all members. Now im pretty track hardened and the idea of a SnS isnt really my thing. But i fully respect that members appriciate these type of events. Hell i bought both of my cars along on the weekend.

The voting...honestly i have no clue how to improve this. Public choice doesnt solve the issue of peer group voting anything in life that involves votes is going to come under comment. Look at the olymic events that are geared around this.

I'd just as well piss off the trophies in favor of more prizes, but members appriciate getting peer recognition. I can understand that.

As for the ''lock in' that is venue dependant, but people also leaving during the 'event' detracks from the whole thing imo.

Im not a great fan of the gardens as a venue for a number of reasons. Not saying that waterfront is top shit either, but it gets my vote for being better than the gardens.

There are many events that the club runs where you can come show your car off and chat then piss off whenever you like, that event is not the SnS.

Watch out for scavenger and bulla events for early next year.

Unless you do a secret ballot I can guarantee you'll never stamp out people voting for their friends cars.

I can also guarantee you that most of the people who entered on Sunday, entered to put their car on show, represent the club and socialise, with a trophy being absolutely secondary to it all. Trophies are like winning at DECA - good on you if you do, but DECA is about getting out there and having your own fun. And when you have a field of 26 cars on show, some classes only having 1 or 2 cars in them, your trophy doesn't really mean much.

I believe the opposite too - the more it's about trophies, the less people are likely to enter. Who would bother putting their stock R34 GTR up against Daniel or Chris' GTR? Look at all the people who say I'm not going to bother entering because my car isn't up to scratch for a show and shine...then you convince them to come because it's not just about winning a trophy, and they end up coming. We had a few track cars / cops there on Sunday, my hail damaged R33, Pat's in-need-of-a-roof-respray 32...

And it is definitely on members to promote any club. Most members joining and renewing, stay on because they know other people in the club...

LOL! hey.... "Pat's in-need-of-a-roof-respray 32" won a trophy!

haha my faded roof was covered up with CF vinyl thank you very much! :domokun::nyaanyaa:

I would have loved some competition in the r32 gtst class but fewer and fewer people can be bothered maintaining such a car haha

I guess the trophy is really for the most running r32 gtst haha

Perhaps rename 32 category to last man standing award?

Lol, arrived in one peice award, not peices.

haha +1

Shame Bris or Russ didnt show. I think they are the only other active r32 gtst members floating around!

Event was great. Trophies entice people to clean their car, else they would show up with faded roofs :ph34r:

All this talk about bias driving people away, the majority of club members wouldnt know/care if the wasteland crew is showing up. Also with 3x trackday giftvouchers for just showing up, you would be silly to blame biased voting for your reason of not showing up.

Else, if you cant beat them, join them. Start chattin in the wasteland and attend any events organised. People might feel uncomfortable showing up to a large car club event feeling that they wont know anyone. If we can grow the whole club's memberbase to be as open and relaxed as the wasteland crew, then it will be better for everyone.

wasteland crew reppin'

oh ok, so you want rates to drop to where they did which further fuelled the credit binge and sky rocketed house prices? not to mention they were at that level for less than 12 months hardly worth hanging out for again to make life descisions..

australia is going through deleveraging and its a good thing, the RBA should stay out of it for the time being, we have the highest personal debt levels in the world its about time people started saving, which they are at record rates we went from spending 150% of our incomes to saving 10cents in the dollar within a 12-18 month period.

Cool story bro... but you should post this in Housing Bubble Thread. They've been calling out your name fair few times now.

I concur.

The ole "full of sh*t" comes to mind

Settle down now Ash. I give you some face and you come down with a bowel blast, expulsion of methane gas via the anus in my general direction.. I will spank you. Doesn't take a genius to jump into the property market, I have interests in else where.

If you have vested interest in property, you will know by now that things are about to get sour in the coming year.
