MAS

[Critter]

Lantis referred to this at the Canberra CAI day.....

Looks like I'm going for the trip with mebbe a couple of people "Road Trip", not entirely set yet, but probably.

Melbourne people, would like to hook up.....let's do something.
I think I'll be staying with some people in Nunawading from the ACAP site.
We will have a meet and go to the show. people want to join in the fun?

Will miss the 28th June trip so this one's on I hope!

[Rupewrecht]

i'll be entering my bitch in MAS, so yeah a hookup will be cool :D

edit:
actually, just realised i've already got plans fot the saturday night :(

and *apparenty* people reckon there'll be a crusiie sunday night to Chapel street with heaps of the entrants cars, but i cant' see it happening

but i'll be at MAS for all day both days pretty much

[mrpayner]

Yes, i would like to come over to Melb and check it out too.... :D

You're not going to be putting any of that fake smoke **** [white foamy stuff] around your HT are you Dan? Damn that looks dodgy....

[pr1mo]

[kyra]

If the rest of the club is going, I will come too. Didn't actually go last year because it is usually the same cars all the time...all bloody wrx's!

Not sure about the cruise Dan, esp at Chapel, very choco style.

[Dogo]

except for the 2 astinagt representatives !!! :D

I was invited again, but I've decided not to put my car into MAS this year. last year was good enuf for me.

would good fun tho. half the entrants wont even make it out of the exhibition buliding area to get to chapel. damn cops

strung out are in the top 2 to 3 live acts in this genere. they have just released a live album too. highly recommended :P like i say i drove to canberra to see em play a proper show as i wasnt prepared to fork out $100 to see em at livid festival in melbounre last yr.

i think (dont quote me) that they will play around 5 or 6 songs out the front of missing link records in flinders lane on wednesday the 9th at around 5pm. good chance to chek em out for free. but dont quote me check www.bombshellzine.com closer to the date


cheers mike

[Critter]

Will get back to you pr1mo on that, sounds good

Might have either one (Mr_Bob) or two (his missus) extras in the car with me and the plan is to come down Thursday.

Staying with a mate in the east of Melb somewhere (20 mins from city I think) so would have to see how that goes for him, he will be working etc.

hehe

[Dogo]

hey look there's my headlight. :D

inspired to look at my old MAS photos again - OMG i cant believe i did that at stock height. LOL

[Fuzzy dice]

Don't worry dan, your car will have that much polish/wax on it her skank arse would slide straight off!!! :) :)

l'll be there this year for both days, prob. sat morning and sunday afternoon (oh dan, l'm working there too it looks like!! ;) :) :))

[Asterix]

Working there? Where's the freebie tickets, eh?! :lol: :lol:

[Rupewrecht]

haha freebies? none here, please move along :P

i get 2 (one each for me and fuzzy) for FFVIP, and my competitors pass.

competitors used to get a few free passes, but not in the last few years :x

[Dogo]

i wrangled a free pass out of the Cabin organiser guy last year tho.
an asian guy with a fairly round head if i remember correctly. dont remember the name tho :?

he was near the ticket booth outside so i had a chat and got a free pass for my friend.

[mrpayner]

I don't know if there's anything like this, or it's even worth it, but it would be a good idea for members of car clubs [such as ourselves] to get in for a slightly cheaper rate [say $10] if there are cars present at the show to create more of a "club presence" at these salon's..

Just an idea :wink:

Adam

[Asterix]

I agree Adam.
If there were enough car expo's around (ie Motorshow, Auto Salon, Custom Car Show etc) it would be good for club reps to speak to organisers about this.
It may also encourage other enthusiasts to join clubs.

[Rupewrecht]

Cabin are complete tightasses when it comes to passes tho. the media passes were only valid for the one day and as usual they were pretty disorgainsed.

i couldn't believe it whern someone said that admission was $20! i assumed it'd be a max of $15...

[Asterix]

Hye did you see the Red Celica (PETIR rego plates).
How mad was that!!!
I saw it driving round Southbank on Friday nite & had to look twice as I thought it was a Cleica, then a Lambo, then a Celica... :D :D :D

[Rupewrecht]

scary thing about that car - it was at Showoff in May, it was silver and didn't have the scissor doors! somone's been busy!

but the metallic lime gold S15 with the split boot, swivelling seats, hydraulic suspension and the scissor doors was one of the standouts for me.

that and the DUMPD lancer (widebody/19s/retrim) that was standard apart from being very low not that long ago...

[mrpayner]

Yeh.. the dude had the HOT4's magazine on the floor.. I did a double take at that one too!! If I remember correctly he had a pretty damn good boot install as well..

but the metallic lime gold S15 with the split boot, swivelling seats, hydraulic suspension and the scissor doors was one of the standouts for me.

Me like that one too! There was also a Hilux ute a bit further over with a Holden V8 215i motor in it.. hyraulic suspension too. That was entertaining watching it jiggle around the place.. What happened with that "hopping ute" thing that was under the covers with a barrier around it?? Boyd & I missed what happened there??

Adam

[SehnKhan]

One would assume it bounced around a fair bit :roll: :lol:

[kyra]

yeah, PETIR was silver and non-pumped not that long ago... heaps of work done...looks superb...
did somebody say BRABUS SL55 with 20's? ooooh... my fave of the show.

[Critter]

Good to catch up with Dan at the show, the Astina looking smooooth :)

The S15 with the scissor doors etc got my vote. Nuts.

I thought that $20 was just within realistic reason, but the queues were f@#$n' rediculus. (needed juglers and acrobats to keep 'em amused for that long)

NO!! They needed to get some of those chicks out as "fluffers" :wink:

Adam

[Asterix]

:lol: HaHa, LMAO!!!!! :lol:

[Critter]

I should add since it was REALLY appreciated that was good to see the big effort from both Dogo and CosmoDude to come up and meet us at Nunawading and the cruise over to Preston etc.

[mrpayner]

Um...yes *cough* Sorry we [Boyd and myself] couldn't meet you.. I made Boyd get up and we were at MAS at around 9:30am.. As expected the que was lengthy but not as long as it was at around 2pm when we got out.. I had to be back at Ballarat at 5.. Appologies..

Adam

[pr1mo]

i erm slept in! i gave dan a call as i assumed he was trekking in late to MAS to meet u but he was already there :~( humble apologies

cheers mike

[Fuzzy dice]

Dan's car looked pretty good there....the paint work looked smick if l must say!! ;) ;)

whoever detailed it did a good job!! :p :p
