The car scene is pretty big in Melbourne. A lot of FB groups hold regular meets. Most are in the south east though which would be about an hours drive from Werribee. There's a group called HWY that hold regular Friday night meets. I haven't been to one yet myself but they are generally pretty big.

There is a group that recently started up called FWY (lol I know) which are mainly Geelong based, which is closer to Werribee.

Why u moving down here? Should move to the south east, it's better here :)

cops are touch and go here. the tint you may get lucky with, but the HIDs you probably wont last long. Also they will fail the roadworthy if you go to register the car here.

DJM83 at least she will see me. its hard to see the ones that have no paint ...

Nice. Can meet up for a catchup or cruise. But probably won't be a big one. Cruise scene has seriously died in the arse lately

Last time there was an, I think, Holden Colorado on the track too so no problem for your 1.8.

OpelAus guys were invited to it as well.

There were MX5's, Toyota 86's, a base model focus trend on the track among others.

No excuse really.

It's not about who's the fastest on a Happy Laps day, it's about a bunch of people with a common interest getting together for a fun time

Doesn't matter either way I guess. No one here bothers to turn up when they are invited. :deadhorse:

I think the point here is irregardless of what the day entailed there was no interest in the day itself or someone could have just as easily said how about a cruise/meet/dinner afterwards if they just did not want to go to a track day. Ultimately there was a meet opportunity, no one was interested so therefore can't turn around and complain there hasn't been a meet in awhile. Really it's as simple as that
