Any Car Day

MRSXR-8 · 30-04-2007, 10:19 PM

Hi all.
Just a quick post to let you know that we have organised a club day with a bit of a difference on the 27th of May.

On the Wild Run #2, we had a couple of different cars come on the cruise, therefore the decision was made to organise an "Any Car Day" :eclipsee_ .
The day is aimed at those of you that might have another car in the shed tucked away, waiting for the opportunity to take it out and blow off the dust. Even if the only car you have is your Tickford or FPV you are still more than welcome to bring it, no one is excluded. It is purely the chance to share a common interest in cars no matter what year, make or model

: .

Time wise, it will be about 10.30am to meet in the Eltham area, so you have some time to look at various cars, then at your leasure you can either have your BBQ or your picinic lunch

: . So bring the car, the family and your lunch for an interesting day.

Contact Nicole or 0412 987 455 for more info and RSVP.
Hope to see you all there!

Oh Seagull, just use the umbrella again, like 1600GT did at the Shannons Sandown day last year!
And I'm sure we can sort out lunch for you. 1600GT is taking his green ute, so they'll be plenty of room!

About friggin time Seagull.... !!!!

All mine are in a state of ....errrr..... confusion at the moment.

Me thinks however, that the last of the garage collectors (this one is MOTIV8's)may come out and play for a day........ yep hopefully she will be back on the road in time......

GRNKPR · 01-05-2007, 01:31 PM

i might bring one with green stripes out as its close to home but not on race rubber this time they cost a fortune

jcxr · 01-05-2007, 02:30 PM

Might even bring my green car out for a drive, not far for me.

And of the course the right foot had nothing to do with it... :hihi:
And they only cost a fortune to replace when you can't scrape it all back up off the road GRNKPR

Yeah and the passenger left a GT stripe on the seat - I have pics !!!!!!

I have heard that a very rare XD turned over last night for the first time in five years- to get ready for this day. It brought tears to my eyes - as the fumes filled the garage. So if you something in the garage that hasn't seen the road for a while pullout ones digit !! :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_

Grasshoppr · 04-05-2007, 11:28 AM

WOW the old fella from the big fella is coming out for a run

Nice, that should be enought to motivate ( :Reverend: ) people to bring out their other cars!!!

Well hopefully should be back from 'The West' by then, but it not am looking forward to blowing a few cobwebs out tomorrow.......... :eclipsee_

But GBG is right about the fuel gauge and speedo - its been a while since its out but from what I remember last time I am sure the Fuel Gauge is going to win

MOTIV8 · 07-05-2007, 10:06 AM

Well it happened the XD lives again.......... and yep the fuel gauge definatley wins!!!

:

Thanks to Seagull for giving me a hand on Thursday, I was able to take it along to Coffey Ford on Saturday and drive it for the first time in over 5 years. We went allong to Coffey ford for a club display in conjunction with their 47th Birthday Sale but they wanted different cars from the club not just the normal cars as they had enough of them for sale.... There were six members who brought their cars along which included an AU race car (Rick), XE Johnson replica (Wal), EF XR6 (Rob), ED Moffat HO (Peter), BA Moffat HO (Keith) and the XD........

The XD back again

Three of the cars through Keith's bonnet

Go baby Go · 27-05-2007, 10:38 PM

Well Done to MRSXR-8 who organised a fantastic day......... just one question...... how did you manage to book the weather??????

The drive back was a little chillier than the drive there, but the beanie and gloves did the job - didn't need the scarf !!!!! But, the note and the whole open air experience makes it all worthwhile doesn't it Seagull............?

GRNKPR · 28-05-2007, 10:27 AM

Great day a few more members could ve shown up but was good and relaxed was all good till the trip home when the car wanted to drive on 3 wheels and exited and passed me down lower plenty road there my friends starts a long arvo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go baby Go · 28-05-2007, 12:53 PM

Ohhh... do tell....the back end wanted to go quicker than the front?????
We heard you leave... and go through the roundabout.... and up the street.... and thru the next intersection............

Please tell me you are not saying 3 wheels as in one fell off..........

:

Brute6 · 28-05-2007, 03:55 PM

nah took it easy but a wheel yes a wheel decided to exit stage left and came to a halt running on the drum,a little dent in the quauter ,had t chase the wheel down the road and a little bruised ego >i pulled up at the set of lght s on lower plenty road and para road ,a couple of young guys at the lights looking and yelled out the window thats the sickest thing they have seen being driven on the street as the said this the car got real SICK and dropped a wheel off

Outcome i should ve tightened them after the track day at calder (lack of maintenance always bites you on the asssss!!!!!!! Pit crew went there either so i had to get under the car PRICELESS for Chris ****sing self

Go baby Go · 28-05-2007, 11:12 PM

I can think of a million lines here.... and here i was thinking my roll baby roll was going to get the gags for a while...........

You win....

I'm with Chris - that would have been priceless - I wouldn'tve known whether to laugh more at the wheel heading down the road or you chasing it .......

I can see the next Mastercard ad now.....

Oh dear!!!!!! Reminds me of a certain rip to Bathurst when the trailer wheel decided to overtake a certain car . Lucky Craig Lowndes wasn't driving near you on the day. Might have collected the wheel for you GRNKPR. Seems you need something to remind you to tighten up your nuts !!!!

Does that mean your new nickname is Bean ? Didn't Mr bean have one of those 3 wheelers - a Messerschmitt?

Geez... and the caption for the 2nd Bean movie was "disaster has a passport" - maybe you should be called that in more ways than one .....

1600GT · 30-05-2007, 12:56 AM

firstly, thanks to all who came along.
was good to see a few different things that we dont normally see.
just a shame that we didnt have as many people come along as we thought there'd be...
my little ute didnt know what had hit it, seeing as it was its first time out since Feb 06.
now that its on the road again, i have to try and use it more, but when the GT is finished, i guess it'll get used less and less again...
