Xmas DOO reflections

Critter · 06-12-2003, 08:45 PM

Well I had a great day.

We've had some good ones, but I think this was number 1 for me.

Some interesting roads, some new people taking part other than the usual suspects. Good to see you guys for sure!! 22 people altogether I think.

The "SP20 chapter" was especially well represented with 7 cars plus one "Honorary SP20"

Considering I have been the only SP20 at a number of events, this was BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!

Photographers please post up real soon!!

Felt horrible for ABC as did we all, with a "fail to proceed" and having to get the car trailer thing happening so far from home. Best of luck with it mate.

And TDK too whose car is still having remedial work done on the turbo. Wrotten turn of events.

That will do for now, to give some people something to say........

My happy snaps

Laser the Amazer · 07-12-2003, 12:27 AM

Great Day. I enjoyed it.

A huge Thank You to Critter for letting me ride with him for the day. A big thumbs up to the interior, stereo and suspension its fantastic.

Good to meet some of you astina people at long last and put faces to names.

Rod has all my pics so it will be easier if he can host them for me.

Hope to come out with you guys again

Robert

Critter · 07-12-2003, 08:06 AM

Hi Guys,

Sorry Leanne and I couldn't make it this time around, it was her sisters birthday
and they had organised a dinner, but then changed it to lunch so we couldn't make
it

Sounds like you all had a great time too, love the pics Jim, good job mate!

ok few comments from me

i wish to advise all that attended this cruise that i was very impressed with ur cars an the way u guys look after them , with so many sp20's there its a wonder i didn't crash considering my eyes were looking back all the time at the show behind awsome sight i must say

big thanks to the canberra guys for meeting us at ulladulla was great to meet u guys /girls , abc my heart was torn hearing the news at ulladulla of your break down an could not be fixed sorry man but there will be others an we will have you there in high spirits , least we had a meal an a bit off a laugh together poeples

special thanks to doug an pete for trying to get abc's car going thanks guys

TDK · 07-12-2003, 12:50 PM

I am sooooo jealous. It looks like you guys had an excellent time; I really wish I could have made it. I dropped my car off down at Street Dreams on Friday afternoon to get the new Haltech E6X computer installed. Doug and Pete have been great in helping me. I'll get the car back on Monday arvo or Tuesday midday. We have to organise another cruise soon so I can come and join in the mayhem.

KittyKatSmack · 07-12-2003, 08:59 PM

Wow everyone!!!!!

It was FANTASTIC to meet you all, and I had a great time!!!!!!

Andy, we were all thinking of you and Cath...

A HUGE thankyou to JJ and Bec and Tony and Emma for their support of a fellow AstinaGT member and fellow Astina owner!!!

I am glad that the problem was identified, and that hopefully *fingers crossed* ABC got his car back to Canberra in one piece.....

(please tell us you are ok Andy? we are worried about you)

Back to the Xmas Crooz......

A fantastic turnout by everyone, and lots of great pictures by Jynx and our Odd Rod (gawd luv ya!) and Robert!

Here are our 5 pages of pics...... some fantastic ones too, thanks to Aaron for being "Master Photographer of the Day"!

http://www.kitty-ranch.net/aaron/ulladulla

It was the strangest thing, being outnumbered by SP20's..... MIK! JYNX! Fella's???? :shock: What did you think Daz???
Although, all the cars were absolutely GORGEOUS and here I was with a near standard Astina

ops:

I can still hear Critters chant

ump it Kitty, Dump it:

*sigh*

Kar10w ~ the display organiser! Nice work
Preeman80 ~ lots of laughs!

Spiderman ~ that tint has got to be so illegal, I love it!
jcywong ~ I didn't get to talk to you much, but fantastic to see you there.
Wire Done ~ dude, I won't stop handing you sh!t, but then again, I don't have a turbo!
Lasertheamazer ~ to mazda or not to mazda :lol:
Dazz ~ you never saw my interior lights, and I still say they are all your fault!!!
Jimbo ~ ya spppppooooooooonnnnie! *running jump hugs!*
Lantis ~ wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee around the curves and flappy bits
Emma ~ I saw that!
TwoJays ~ The ORIGINAL SP ASTINA!!! Everyone walked past the silver BG Astina with the pop up headlights..... I still love your car!!!
Bec ~ WOW Girl, you can drive!!!! Braidwood will never be the same again :lol: (Hope Cath's back survived, just kidding!) and the pic of you hanging out of the sunroof on Government Bend is in amongst our lot of pics!
Andy ~ was doing a FANTASTIC job of leading the group until the very end.... we are thinking of ya!
Cath ~ Hope you survived all those trips!

I hope I didn't miss anyone, that is one heck of a long list.

All I can say once again is that a great turn out by everyone, and I can't wait to see you all again.

Cheers to one and all....

Look out Toyboy and Newcastle, you're next!

*starts chant: January, not Oz Day weekend, January, not Oz Day weekend*

Dunno about master photographer except to say that the pics look even better in their FULL size.... Spiderman is 'magic' in 6007

coolsp · 07-12-2003, 09:44 PM

hey guys. dont know if any of you saw me i was at the lights in albion park waiting to turn right. im not a fan of the scorch wheels but i have to say they look bloody fantastic on spidermans car. nice lookin sled! i really must take an interest in extra cirricular activities rather than work. :cry:

wiredone · 08-12-2003, 12:12 AM

nice photos.... rod your definitely right about the lack of car wash not affecting my photos... looks good... (specially the cooler) /end of gloat

very happy with the days events... until on the princess highway nearly running out of fuel, with no servos around (long story)

they all came good... real shame we had to leave early... would have loved to come to the gong with you guys later

Critter · 08-12-2003, 07:10 AM

yes, coolsp, you were sighted

where are those priorities?

preeman80 · 08-12-2003, 09:49 AM

Exactly.. would have been nice to have you along..

btw.. what were those other cars (5 or 6 headlights on) heading down while we were heading back up to wollongong?

kar10w · 08-12-2003, 09:57 AM

the pulsar gti-r's pree? there were two batches of those. nice car, but a tad dated i think.

awesome day. so happy the rain held up in those clouds. twas nice to meet all of yas too. i got a few videos and pix that i need to get on the net somehow. rod i know you offered to host them - the best way i can think of, is to copy them to a cd for ya (too big to send over net), then send it down to you and then you can host em? cool? tks.

old pacific higway sounds good!
