WHO IS INTERESTED IN A CRUISE TO AUTO SALON FINAL BATTLE

[tidy protege]

Hey everyone i was wondering if anyone from the Newcastle or Central Coast area is interested in having a cruise down to this year's AUTO SALON FINAL BATTLE in Sydney.

It would be a great opportunity to see some seriously wild rides, get great some idea's and contacts from some from Australias most respected modifiers and tunners.

Im not sure about dates yet but i have heard that some days are better than other days down there so some feedback on your experiances would be great as i havent been before.


Cheers, Tidy

I have been TRYING to get to Autosalon for ages.....

How about a big meetup?

I would love to come up and say g'day to everyone.

When is it on?

[tidy protege]

Not sure when its on but like you it would like to have a big meet up in sydney, as it would be good to put some faces to some names.

I think its on in early december but ill have to find out some proper dates.

Red Frog: guess who's coming to dinner!!! LOL

[lamby1986]

[tidy protege]

Its a great opportunity for everyone to catch up

[BigBoyLemonade]

[sik astina]

Im already entered :D Come and say hi :)

[KittyKatSmack]

Hey,

It sounds like it's going to be all good fun!!!

Tony: are you going to stay overnight or just do a daytrip?

Sik: FINALLY I get to see you at AutoSalon
OddRod: as above

damned good sh!t I say!!!!!

:D

[JynX]

ill be sitting with mick most of the event keeping him comany with the lovely leanne.

[Mizda_Mazda]

I'll prob head up then as well, aslong as i haven't failed any exams/assignments.

[Matt]

ill be going there all weekend coz the club that i am with will be there. although my car wont be there but you can have a look at some of the cars that we have in the club. look out for me i will have the TeamDream shirt with my name on it (matt :lol: )

[skippy]

I went to an Auto Salon in Sydney under 6 months ago,

Is there two a year?

When is this one??


Shall mossey on over and say Howdy,

[KittyKatSmack]

Dammit we need AstinaGT T Shirts........ NOW!!!

:shock:
did I say that out loud??????

:oops:




:lol:

[tidy protege]

Yeah there is two a year in sydney the one coming up in december is final battle

Im glad a few people are interested in going

[Nate]

im in 8)

will be staying in bexley ... anyone else from the southside going ... come on ye hobits from the shire!

[KittyKatSmack]

w00t Nate!!!

so are we going to make it an official Meet at AutoSalon then?

it's all yours tidy protege!!!!

May the force be with you, LOL

[tidy protege]

why not im up for an Official Auto Salon meet what ever that means, as i have said the more the marier

i have spoken to so many people on this forum and i have so many faces to match to the names, so i see this as potentially a good way for us all to meet up. Good thing is my exams finish before auto salon so i dont have to worry about them clashing.

Anyway i hate to get formal but at this stage these are my plans please put your imput in.

Im planning to leave Newcastle at 8.00 am Saturday the 4th of December, im not a 100% sure on dates so this will probably change.

Hopefully i will be at the centeral coast by 9.00 or 9.30

Then i will proceed on to the show, which i think is at Homebush but im not a 100% sure. Im hoping that we will be at the show by 10.30-11.00

I think it would be all good if we were to meet before we go into the show so that we can all park together, then im thinking we spend about 3 to 4 hours at the show and then i wouldnt mind a small cruise some where we can all relax and have a chat before our trips home.

Hopefully we will have laft Sydney by about 4 or 5 and i wouldnt mind being home by 7 or 8.

Sorry about my vaugness but this is my first trip to Auto Salon and the first cruise which i am trying to plan, also there is the fact that i am not overly famila with sydney so it would be good if i was to go down in a cruise as there is less chance of me and others who arnt familiar with Sydney getting lost.

The ball is now in your court peoples, so it would be good for some feedback, i would greatly appreciate some assistance as i have never lined up a cruise like this before.

Cheers, Tidy

[KittyKatSmack]

Very organised tidy protege

much more organised than we are!!!!

If we are meeting up at 10.30-11am, then we also have to think about lunch.

Aaron and I will consider staying in Sydney again, but not at the same Bondi Motel :lol:

Keep up the great work tidy protege!!

[tidy protege]

i was thinking, although not flash we could have lunch at the McDonalds at Homebush. There we would be able to all stop have a yarn with each other, maybe grab some happy snaps of each others cars and trade contact details for future refferance as this will not be the last cruise we will go on.

Although a while away i am already getting some possible ideas for next years Annual Newcastle Cruise on the Australia Day long weekend. I know this year was big, however i think next year can be much bigger as from what i have seen since joining in may/june alot of people have joined and people are interested in cruising now!!!!

[KittyKatSmack]

*sigh*

I have no problems whatsoever with a cruise to Newcastle on the Australia Day Long Weekend, but it is NOT the ANNUAL ASTINAGT CRUISE.

not having a go at you tidy protege, it just seems that there are some communication issues with everyone about it all.

The Annual Cruise was cancelled this year due to lack of interest.

The Annual Cruise used to be the October long weekend that coincided with Oktoberfest here in Canberra, but it only happened once.

The Annual AstinaGT Cruise has to be somewhere that nationwide members can attend, not just Sydney and northern NSW members.
We must consider our Victorian members who are active on this site.

By all means, go for an Australia Day Long Weekend Cruise, I'm all for it, and would try to attend.

Back to the topic at hand: AutoSalon Meet!

I am not keen on McDonalds.
I would like lunch somewhere decent if possible.
Surely there has to be somewhere that can do a decent countermeal, or a nice cafe?

We did a stop at Macca's last weekend and it is usually a **** fight.
Lots of other cars, screaming kids (mostly just me, lol) and just not a nice place to take group piccies.

Surely, as a group, we can do better than McDonalds!!!!!

:shock:

[tidy protege]

Thanks for clearing up what an annual cruise is, i have heard the term flying around alot since i joined the forum, so it was my bad. im glad i didnt make a thread called the annual newcastle cruise i would have made an absolute clown of myself.

I wouldnt mind soon starting to make plans for the cruise as if more time and dffort is put into the day the bigger success it will be, i recall a while back seeing the photos of this years cruise and kicked myself for not being a member as i had an opportunity to join last year but forgot to.

Back to the Auto Salon Meet, i am more than happy to go anywhere for lunch and like you i wouldnt mind going somewhere better than Mc Donalds im just not familiar with sydney and all though this sounds perthetic Mc Donalds is the only eating place at Homebush that i know about.

Another reaon why i am thinking twice about McDonalds at Homebush is because on that paricular day, the place is going to be full of Bogans going to see the show and im really not comfortable of the idea of them being around a large number of nice cars outside of the show.

So the day is enjoyable as posible, i am appealing to those who are familia with sydney to throw some ideas in on where we can eat, i will go with the flow, however like kitty i wouldnt mind having a decent meal and avoiding the bogans and louts that will enevitably be at Mc Donalds at Homebush.

Cheers, Tidy

[Rupewrecht]

Yeah there is two a year in sydney the one coming up in december is final battle

Im glad a few people are interested in going

there's also two in melbourne now ;)

[tidy protege]

Sweet, for the people from victoria its a great chance for you guys to line up the Auto Salon meet for VIC. As i have said its a great chance for everyone to build contacts and get some great ideas.

[KittyKatSmack]

I am truly truly sorry everyone, but I have to cancel attendance at AutoSalon now.

I'm a bit upset actually, but I just won't have the money.

:( :cry: :oops: :evil:

[tidy protege]

[KittyKatSmack]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[Matt]

[platypus]

[KittyKatSmack]

*smacks James' butt*

Cheer up you sour puss......

You have lots to be happy for and you are very lucky to have people in your life by your side.

Don't let things get you down.

Just keep on swimming, keep on swimming, swimming, swimming....

Looks like the three of us will be making a daytrip to autosalon on Saturday.
Won't really know what time we are getting there because it depends on traffic and getting the kitty out of bed......

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

:D

[Dogo]

sorry to let u all down but I don't think I can make this trip :P

[tidy protege]

Its good that we are getting some good numbers, what time do you all want to meet up. I was thinking say 11 or 12 at the team dream stand, also if you want my number pm me

[KittyKatSmack]

I'll probably be heading straight for Mik or Syndicate..... We should all meet up there maybe coz we know who to look for, and I want to see the finest looking Astina "unleash" 8)

I am looking forward to seeing the team dream cars and see what kind of people they are........

oddrod is a good friend of mine........

We will miss seeing you Rod!

[tidy protege]

Thats cool I am looking foward to meeting unleash,

also some latest news from autosalon they have just culled the number of competitors by a massive 130 cars so this highlights the high quality of cars competing this year, a person I know with a very special car hasnt been let in cause they have some very high standards.

So for thos who are coming you can expect to see Australias top 400 show cars on display. It will be an awsome day and I look foward to meeting all you guys and girls.

Cheers, tidy

[skippy]

eye candy? naaa leigh will do me just fine... (no i'm not in trouble)

and naa i'm not gonna can on like a mongrel!!!

[mrpayner]

Unfortunately, i'm going to have to pike out on this event.. It's a long way to drive [8 hours to canberra] for just a couple of days. The company would have been fantastic, and i thank Kitty and Aaron for offering to put me up for the night[s]. If I had of flown up things would have been easier but a spare $190 is something that i don't have just at this time. :( However, I hope that the remaining people do enjoy the show, and for those of us who can't make it we expect to see plenty of piccas. Especially Mick and Tony and Wiredone..

BUT! When the Annual Cruise is organised.. I'll be there. You can hold me to that.

In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone! http://forum.mazda6club.com/style_emoticons/default/56.gif

Regards,
Adam

PS.. I'll share that drink with you next time james http://forum.mazda6club.com/style_emoticons/default/36.gif
