Well, another easy one for the Canberran's.....how does that work?

Anyhow, the Nats are on early January and I know that "twilightprotege" is coming down from the Gold Coast for it.

"twilightprotege" is actually an SP20 but the name exists for the U.S. boards.....probably the fastest N/A SP20 in the country.

So why don't we organise something during the Nats?
EVERYBODY, let's show them what REAL style is about :)

I like the idea Critter... although it's a bit out of the way for Lantis, ABC and Myself (all the way across the road! That's four lanes we have to cross!) :)

Seriously though... I'll definitely be in town, probably sitting on the balcony drinkin' beer watching the cars roll by...

I'd offer accomodation to people, but the complex that Lantis and I live in has a _huge_ problem with crime at the moment (motorbikes have been stolen, dozens of cars broken into etc), so I wouldn't even dream of putting any of the boys cars in there...

Also, Lantis' half of the carpark flooded a few weeks ago... UP TO THE CARS EXHAUST PIPES!!!!!

I'll also have to discuss the matter with the minister of war and finance (hi Bek!), but I'm sure we could make room for a sleeping bag or two if the earlier comments don't put people off.

It is after all opposite the 'nats competitor entrance!

Can I book a passenger seat for a cruise one night Critter??? 8)

Hahaha

yeah JJ's block gets the crime and our block gets the Natural Disasters!

I plan to lay in my inflatable raft, drink beer and eat hotdogs in the pool like homer simpson and watch the cars drive past.

I will be there and my friends Annual summernats birthday BBQ will be on!

Critter

Of course you can book a seat TwoJays!

Might just come down for the day and make a loooong day out of it.......

ABC
09-12-2003, 09:31 AM
I'll bring the pink doughnuts Tony! :lol:

Might be able to put up a few subject to the house owner (sister) but definately a Poolside BBQ at JJ and Tony's place is in order.

Alright... this is starting to take shape already... who the hell are you guys and where did you put the disorganised rabble that usually live on this board??? :D

And Kitty hasn't even had a chance to get a word in yet...

When's the birthday bash Lantis??? If Critter (and others... come on guys!) come down just for the day, then Saturday would be the obvious choice... that's when most happens at the 'nats... A Saturday BBQ and day-pass to the nats sounds like a great plan to me.

Then there's the usual big unofficial cruise on Friday night (and resulting closing of the streets of Braddon...), so if anyone wants to come down friday night, there'll be much Canberra cruising to be done...

sounding good , but feeling nervous huge crouds lots off beer might not be the place to take my car

well wicked.... i'm there as some of you know... be good to see some cars that have done stuff properly, rather than the half arsed version i do!!!!

looks like i'm gonna be going down with iaink, twilite, (possibly snert) and some other vectra driver may be interested... we'll see
drive later in the night to manuka, or through woden would be good too...

i suppose you could like fit in a quick tour de act...


by the way hi all this is my first post HERE

Don't worry too much odd12c, unless you plan to become a competitor... outside of EPIC, it's pretty well behaved... unless you plan to go to the middle of Braddon near the Caltex and then you're just asking for it IMO.

Inside is where the boys go a little feral, but that's not too surprising...

As for the suggested Manuka/Kingston/Woden cruise, that's a great idea... suggest my place/nats -> Civic -> Manuka/Kingston -> Woden -> Cotter (Brindabella Road - yeah!) -> and back to the city...

But that's just my $0.02 worth!!! :)

I have been trying to get the Melbourne contingent up for a "Road Trip" back to Canberra with us from the Xmas hols we are having!!!

What say you Vics?

We Ferry back to Melbourne on the 5th, will be driving back to Canberra on the 6th....

Summernats fun starts on Thursday the 8th I think????
(someone help me out here)

So Miss Social Director has already been working in the background, don't you worry.....

MUST BURN MEAT AT BBQ AT TONY/JJ's apartment complex.....

We will have some of the xr6 turbo people around too, with one of the guys coming from QLD too..... Yay Scotty!!!

BA Falcons meet BA Astinas.... let the **** stirring commence

critter,

i'm on the central coast!!! just to the north of sydney!!... so more than likely i would drive down with you!!!

TwoJays
24-12-2003, 04:51 PM
Whoever decides to come down for a day for the 'nats, we've got free parking over the road sorted for you.... two of my neighbours are going away, so that's four carparks available to the touring party...

While I did make a post about the crime earlier, it's a heap better than leaving them in the 'Nats carpark and if it's just for the day you should all be right.

The night's for cruisin' anyways... 8)

29-12-2003, 08:38 PM
twojays... i would like to borrow one of those spots!!

i'm staying down in woden nearest i could find, but i'm oragnised now...

ok i'm driving down on friday, for an early afternoon arrival.... so heres my plan/itinerary

12noon leave central coast
1pmish stop at thornleigh to pick up others (if needed)
2pm stop at cambelltown maccas to pick up others (if needed)
4pm follow road down stop at goulbourn coz i need to pee badly (i drink lots while driving)
5:15 or so enter the state of porn, weed, firecrackers etc...
6pm check in to my hotel at woden
6:15 get heavy on the drink and get a ride into civic
6:30 keep drinking
etc etc

i may leave earlier still in the air a bit in which all times will roll forward about 4 hours

if anyone has requests for meet spots, or other times let me know...

Critter
31-12-2003, 07:21 PM
Well I am planning to go down Saurday morning early, get there about 10am.

Hook up with folks before the BBQ etc.....

platypus
01-01-2004, 01:00 PM
ok so how about specifics, times, addresses, places, etc??


i'm up for a saturday cruise... only bad thing is, i think i now have a full car (gawd damn it) as if my 1.6 wasn't labouring with me....

TwoJays
02-01-2004, 10:48 AM
Okay guys, how's everybody meet at my place for BBQ/beer/pool sometime after 10am Saturday... How do I get there? Well, I'm glad you asked...

Driving into Canberra (from Sydney, southbound), just before the Shell Gateway service station on the highway on the left there is several sets of units. There's a left turn off the highway just before the traffic lights, and I'm in the Starlight apartments. Unit 49 is the place, call me on 0413 881 922 when you get there and I'll come down and let you into the carpark. Call the same number if you get lost! :roll:

I'll organise the food, but BYOG. Oh, and just a reminder that there is a pool and that Lantis has advised that he has an inflatable lounge just for this reason!

I think we'll also have to organise a few games of table soccer Lantis! 8)
With my neighbours away, noise shouldn't be a problem!

TwoJays
02-01-2004, 10:52 AM
Oh, and as for the cruise... is there anybody that won't be meeting at my place earlier, that we need to organise a time to meet up with?

If there is nobody else to meet up with, then we'll just go when we're done swimming (and not going to blow over 0.05...)

Critter
02-01-2004, 10:48 PM

TwoJays
05-01-2004, 08:21 AM
hmm morning ... ****, don't do this to me... i'm planning on going for the morning, saturday is the big day too....

Don't worry about it too much... I'm just suggesting that you can come over for lunch in between... we are literally about 400 metres from the Shell Gateway 'Nats entrance... that's unless you want to buy some 'Nats food and drink for $800. :shock:

jj i'll give ya a call coz i'll do circles in canberra otherwise!!!

They're called roundabouts and you're only supposed to go 'round once! :wink:

platypus
05-01-2004, 06:21 PM

i live on the central coasst, only takes me 7 roundabouts to go home, and 17 to go to the beach!!!

Sure can... but getting you in could be a problem... give me a call and we can discuss it (0413 881 922)! I've gotta work... but I should be able to organise getting you an access-thingy (technical, no?) to let you in....

I forgot I'm actually on call for this weekend, which is a shocker... but hopefully all will be quiet (very good chance). Everything will go ahead regardless!

Karlo, I wont be going into the 'Nats sunday, but you're still welcome to drop in and say hi, and use the carpark etc...

Especially not likely to go to the 'nats now that Lantis just got approval for my ADSL connection...

No worries guys, it was great having people over... a bit of a swim and a bbq is always a good plan by me....

next year hopefully I can plan not to be on call :evil:

And ahb11m: Glad to hear the boys had fun... did all that rum get drunk??? *shudder* Although I definitely admire the attitude of you boys... why do <insert anything here>, when it wastes good drinking time!!!! I'm sure BigMal would appreciate it too... or live it, I'm not sure which :D

btw. Critter: Email address is updated...

But ahb11m locking himself in the other carpark at our complex was definitely one of the more amusing moments of the weekend!

platypus
13-01-2004, 11:48 AM
oh :oops: i was hoping you'd forget!!

i saw the gate it was open, how was i menat to know that both car parks didn't meet in the middle (except there was a pool)

i didn't get a good listen myself.... hmm must go to newcastle to see!!

i took them on the cruise route to show them canberra - they jsut yelled at me coz we had rum!!!!
not all of it, but we tryed god damn it, we did 3/4 the bottle of OP Rum, and 2 bottles of the regular stuff, as well as the 6 pack of beer, and the 7+g shots that we started with in the hip flasks.... all in all we got pretty maggoted.... oh yeah friday we were really messy, was good fun!!!
