[GreyRex]

Count me in. Let's make this our biggest one... since the last one!!

[Wraith]

Love the night shot with the Bolte in the background :)

I'm marking the date down from now, so I should also be there :)

[JohnBu]

cool, i should be able to make it..

[MatsHolden]

Bring it.

[GreyRex]

Anybody from interstate be here at this time??

[sooty]

I'm in :D:D:D
Ain - [Diesel110]

[Vectracious]

I'll be there in the early stages - have a birthday at night though so will have to skip the sexy night shots... :(

[emiliok]

count me in too :)

[Wraith]

Pauly, I see you've issued me my orders, but your gonna kill me LOL, the vert is 'dissassembled' again :o

Yes more mods :D not sure if I'll be all done by then - will try :)

Otherswise I'll show up with the Cali, don't worry it won't dissapoint, I'll 'fit it out' with something new, just for this meet :)

[PaulyJ]

Damn right you have your orders!
If you cant bring the Vert along... thats... fine but not...
Knowing you, the Cali will be looking immaculate anyway

[Wraith]

Damn right you have your orders!

Knowing you, the Cali will be looking immaculate anyway

Yeh, sorry Pauly I'll try and get it all back together, I've got the dash all pulled apart, putting in a 'hybrid' plasma set up :) and it's proving a little more difficult and time consuming than originally expected, like everything else I've done on this car LOL, prob is I only get an hour or 2 a week to work on it :(

At least if I show up in the Cali it'll add some variety, don't think there'll be another there and I'll try and squeeze in and run it on a set of 20's just for the day :)

[phtm]

I would love to come but I am busy in the morning and I am working 1.18pm to 9.00pm in the afternoon.

[PaulyJ]

We'll still be out more than likely

[Wraith]

We'll still be out more than likely

I'd say so, for the night shots, even though it'll be getting darker earlier by then :)

[phtm]

Might be able to get off early.

[KID_SRi]

I might come down in Mums Corsa, We'll see what happens.

[Wraith]

I see nearly all states are now involved on the same day - a Nation wide meet/cruise/pic day for OpelAus - AWESOME :)

Is Lisa (sc_vxr?) the only person with a VXR now? I don't think she's coming

[Wraith]

Is Lisa (sc_vxr?) the only person with a VXR now? I don't think she's coming

There's also Lampshade aka Johno, he can't make it ??

Maybe Lisa is unaware of the event ?? I havn't checked on the Vic. forum - someone will have to send her a PM :)

[CNBLU]

Pretty sure Jon & Kiri are coming down, but are they the only 2 with VXR's??

[GreyRex]

Think so. The two from last year aren't here anymore

[SIMid]

Might try to come, will run it by the misses to see if we have any family engagements. :rolleyes:

[KID_SRi]

I'll be there, It will just depend on the Time we meet. As I'm occupied Sundays going to Healsville to the Cemetry & to my Grandmas.
And I'll the Only Bog Stock Standard Corsa there * Rock On*

[PaulyJ]

Doesn't matter you don't know anyone (neither do i really)...good chance to meet everyone :)

That's exactly right.

I have 5 locations to pick from.
2 outdoor and 3 indoor (under cover). I'm going to check them out tonight and make a decision as to which 2 we'll be using.

[CNBLU]

Would be excellent to get 25-30 members there on the day, great chance for everyone to meet and put faces to some of these names. Got a feeeling this is going to be a record day...

[bornwild]

I'm in too guys.

One question...Do I have to clean my car?:D

[PaulyJ]

haha yeah it would be a good idea :D

[bornwild]

Can I leave the rims black with brakedust at least??? Looks cool :D:D:D

Sorry everyone, didn't get a chance to head out and check the locations. Didn't want to drive in that weather.
I've got some time on sunday, so I'll have to check them out then.

[Wraith]

Great looking list - awesome, the more the better, clean or dirty cars don't matter, if the weather's not good, there's little we can do to keep em clean anyways, they'll still look good in the pics though, Mat can chop em clean :D

Clean is better. IT's a kind of show and shine, so you want to have your car looking nice!

[Wraith]

We shall try, hopefully the weather will be kind too :)

[sooty]

I'm not too familiar with the city (never go there) so was wondering if anyone from the eastern suburbs was interested in doing a sorta mini cruise to get in there???? Would be good to sorta catch up with a few people at the start, and means i won't have to freak out over how i get in there:)
Just an idea :D

Ain you can come in with me if you want...

Also, weather for Sunday = Showers and 19 degrees

[CNBLU]

Surely you dont believe that they know what the weathers like in 6 days time when they cant get the next day right:p :D

[SIMid]

Not sure if I can make it for the entire evening. I'll see what I can do. But yes, it's going to rain at some point during the day or night..

[Wraith]

Damn weather - oh well it can still be a wet n show rather than shine n show :D

I'm going to wait til Sunday morning before I wash the car for that day, no point wasting time if it's going to get dirty again only hours later...

[PaulyJ]

Dont worry peoples, if it rains, we have under cover locations.

[MatsHolden]

So many worriers here. Chill.

I'll be dispensing these during the day as I am the legal drug dealer of OA.

Relax peoples - a bit of rain - if anything will enhance the photos - plus overcast weather makes for better photo taking anyway.. it's all good!!!

[PaulyJ]

**UPDATE**
Got 2 pro photographers coming on the day too, so I can promise you the photo's will be magic!

[PaulyJ]

DO IT!
We'll make you an honourary guest :D

[Storm Shadow]

Even if I'm a dirty South Aussie lol!!! Man I am so so so so so so tempted. One condition no incest jokes lol!!! Not all us South Aussies are like that. Since that current affair story I have been the but of all jokes from my interstate friends lol!

[Storm Shadow]

I would have to stay at my aunts place, her not minding me crashing her place that is. I don't know Melbourne well, only been there 3 times. Is Box Hill North far from the locations you guys are going to, thats where my aunt lives thats all.

[PaulyJ]

We promise.... :shifty:

It'd be about 30 to 40 mins away. Not too bad. I live about an hour away.

[PaulyJ]

Its not that far away

[Storm Shadow]

Hmm well me thinks that I need to call my auntie tonight! pack, grab some red bull and fire up the navman!

[PaulyJ]

DO IT!

I used to barrack for Collingwood...up until they(players) got Tom Haffey sacked....most disgusting thing I had seen in footy...that man was (and probably still is) the best coach the game had seen...that and I realised I wasn't really accepted by the other Collingwood supporters...I spoke in words of more than one syllable and had a full set of teeth......lol
so now I barrack for no team...just enjoy the game itself...mind you I might have to start watching netball....more body contact....lol...and better bodies...lol

[PaulyJ]

I have a full set of teeth, and sometimes use multi-syllable words :D

[emiliok]
