Ok guys, we've decided to kick off the new year with a *bang* with the Photo Shoot! :dance:

Date: Saturday 13th January 2007
Meet Time: 5pm, photo's will start being taking at dusk and sunset.
Meet Point: North Road Beach, Brighton. Melways Ref 67 C7 (Large car park by the beach and boat ramp at the end of North Road)


We will take photos here and then move on up the Esplanade to the docks for a secret location at the docks :shhh:

Wolf, Wayne and Pauly will be taking photos but obviously feel free to take your own photos as well!

There will also be video recording on the night, interviews with owners etc, as the footage will be made into a Vic.OpelAus members DVD.

To register your interest, please put your name on the list in the Vic Forums: Victorian Photoshoot (http://vic.opelaus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=480)


Cheers
Mat

For those members in NSW, ACT and SA, we'd like you to come along for this special event. I know we have some awesome cars out there, and this is our chance to show the Australian car scene what we're about.

For those of you who are seriously interested in attending, please email me some awesome photo's of your cars, and details of whats been done.

Please help me make this happen. If you can help in any other way, it would really be appreciated. This will be great exposure for the club, and an awesome event.

Please email photo's and details to: [email protected] ([email protected])

Cheers Pauly

Yeh no worries, no chance I'd get out to Heathcote and back and detail my car in time... hahahaha wishful thinking on my behalf! I'm all yours... well so to speak. haha

[mr_sikma]

A LONG way. It's about 140km. Heathcote's located in central Victoria in the sticks. Our photoshoot's down south of Melbourne and close to Melbourne right next to Port Philip Bay (2 locations) Won't find many holiday houses that far up the bay, but there's definately accomodation around.

Considering this event is this Saturday 13th Jan, I just want to see if there are any other members wishing to attend.

We've hit over 40 people having put there names down to attend, making this the largest OpelAus event ever. If you want to be a part of history (hehe that sounds so lame), come down. I can promise you that it'll be a night to remember.

The problem is that the car washes (timed ones) near me wont let you take yr own bucket and sponge (already had a car wash rage) and I only use their brush to cleans the rims. I gotta find somewhere that they will let me take my cleaning goodies without people cracking it. *LOL*

[PaulyJ]

what area are you in?

[entice]

i'll try be there... might bring the oldie for a run before the racv run . what time does it move on to the 2nd location?.. family commitments u see

[PaulyJ]

Roughly about 9-9:30

Yeh they don't let you do hand washing with a bucket and sponge at my local one but that's why I'm going at like 1am after work, coz there is know one there!

I Live in Mill Park. Thinking I might head down to the wash around 7am, then noone will bust me chops! But I'll probably come, but not for the whole evening.

[PaulyJ]

Thats fine
