Yes. Took me about 30 seconds to download. 10 seconds too much. :

Great plug for the show. I saw Hoops and Shorties cars. And another one of the ACT guys. Must have been footage taken from 2 years ago.

Good stuff. Well done Austin.

[b2tf]

Ahhhhh crap! I thought Id be safe from it here! Bugger.

On a completely unrelated point (thank god!), Ive updated the accomodation thread, which can be found here:

[Laminge]

Holy cow

What promotion that was

Excellent Stuff B2F.

[b2tf]

Keep 'em coming! Getting entry forms coming in most days of the week now but only 1 or 2!

I'll be knocking up the final design for the posters tonight, once they're done I will post them up here for people to download, and they'll be going to the printers first thing Monday Morning.

[b2tf]

Oh one more thing - best to book your accomodation soon. As far as I am aware there is one other event on in Wagga the day after ours, but it probably wont be as big. There is around 2600 rooms in the city, but get in early to avoid disappointment. The accomodation thread is a sticky in the NSW/QLD events forum.

[XD-Machine]

will this be the biggest one so far???

[Melz]

Alright, definetely going... won't be displaying thought.. will have to beg/borrow/steal car to drive up!!! Ain't gonna miss this for anything!

Biggest one Im aware of was about 150 cars back in 01 at Hillis Ford. Seeing as have more room, more attractions and more advertising (and a certain somebody forgoing sleep, eating and stress free life to make it all happen), we should hopefully do better than that. Im aiming for 200 cars.

Ive been told a genuine Phase III HO is on its way to the show too, should be good. Also chasing down a Phase I.

[b2tf]

Just a reminder - please get in and book your accomodation ASAP to avoid missing out.

Hi all,

A few changes have been made to the judging process of the show.

Basically, we wont be awarding trophies on the day. Why you ask? Simple really. The day is all about having fun, meeting new people and admiring nice cars - its not a competition or a trophy race, and by eliminatiing trophies and judging etc we eliminate any bad aspects that come with overcompetitiveness, sore losers etc.

Instead, every vehicle entered into the day gets a certificate of appreciation to say thanks for putting in the effort to get your car there and on display. Each owner will also automatically go into the running to win a number of fantastic prizes (winner chosen at random) from Themboys Auto (thanks Pete), with more on the way. So it's still certainly worth entering.

I hope this doesnt upset or affect anybody's plans for coming to the show and putting your car in. If it does, I would suggest very nicely to re-evaluate your reasons for coming. Come and join us for what will be a very fun day with lots to see!

[Shonky]

Oh no...

I was looking forward to winning first prize for my standard Fairmont. Now everyone wont be able to see how cool I am.

Thats it. IM NOT COMING NOW.

(Just jokes. Don't take me off the list)

[b2tf]

hehehe, well thats just it. Whether your car is a stocko or not, if you want to display it I'd like to see it there.

This is very disappointing. You’ve crushed my dreams of taking out the best Cortina trophy, at the very least I would have settled for best original paint.
The Cortina will be staying at home now and everyone will miss out on seeing one of Henry’s true marvels.
:( : :hihi: :hihi: : :



**Please note** The above post is a joke, the Corty doesn’t go any further than the depot. :hihi: :

Cheers, Danny

[b2tf]

hehe Danny.

Seriously though, I hope nobody is put out by the change in plans. Please PM me if you have issues or suggestions.

Got the posters for the day today and they are absolutely mint. We also made the local paper with a nice big writeup.

I got an entry form for an XB GT yesterday which will be coming but otherwise I dont see any on the list either! Get em here guys!

[TIKFD6]

Just wondering Aust, is there a loading ramp of any sort available in the near vicinity to the show?

[b2tf]

Hi mate,

what kind of ramp are we talking? There is one on site which was actually purpose built to unload horses from trailers etc so its too high to put a regular car onto a trailer etc.
Im guessing you mean some sort of ramp to back a trailer up to and drive a car on/off?

Is that the green one owned by Noel ?, Iv'e been pushing him for two weeks to get his entry in looks like he finally did it.

Athol.

I dont have the entry form here right now but if it is Tropicana Green that would be the one.

[b2tf]

I need somebody in Sydney who can put out a few posters to me? I dont expect you to go around the streets, they just need to go to the clubs etc.

[b2tf]

Hi all,

re Laminge's offer of paying the entry fee for forum members - the next 25 people to PM me and indicate they are coming will have their entry fees waived.

Now, a few conditions:-

*please only do this if you are 100% sure you will be coming and displaying your car;

*you MUST be a forum member, this offer does not apply to anybody else;

* you must indicate on your entry form that your entry fee has been waived by this offer.

* before your entry form is sent away you must PM me and get on the list - if youre not on the list and your form comes without the entry fee I will be looking for it on the day!


Once we've got the 25 people I will advise of this here and after that, if you want to enter your car, you will have to pay the entry fee ($10). Remember though that the more money we raise the more we can help those less fortunate than us, so let's do the best we can.

Cheers!

Great idea. Trophies I think detract from these types of events, and they arn't exactley cheap. The money raised should go to charity and not the trophies. Good move.

[chief]

I am happy to pay my own entry fee. Its all for a good cause.
