Default ACT FPV Weekend.

Hi guy's,
Just seeing if there's anyone interested in heading up to the ACT, (as I will be going) for their annual FPV weekend on the 17-19 November. Haven't made any plans as yet but basically cruise up the Hume till we hit Canberra then take it from there.
Let me know if interested as it should be a fun weekend.

Mick

I've already got a claw hammer lined up. :voldar02:

Would be great to have you guys attend. Maybe for the folks travelling we could have an unofficial AU meet. Theres an observation run organised for the Saturday, which is a lot of fun, but for anyone not keen on doing that, we could always organise a bit of an AU photoshoot somewhere. Some nice lake photo's would be good.

I am happy to go scout some spots, get a couple of pics and put something together. Just me me know.

Love have you Mick, and all AU Falcon drivers attend our weekend.

We have an entire afternoon set aside for the observation run so I think we'll have time to stop and arrange a couple of photo shoots. I want to be involved in both so don't start organising coinciding gatherings Buckie ing_sm

I'm not doing the observation run. So I was thinking of arranging a photoshoot and a sight seeing run in Canberra. War Memorial. Places like that. Lunch somewhere and then a shoot. I'll organise the shoot for after the observation run so you won't miss out. Well maybe :

Would be great to get Bucky, Mick, Carratt and myself together for an XR50 shoot - all with the bulge bonnets too :

could also get adrian, relo of hoops' in canberra to come along with his red xr50 ute with boss bonnet.

would look great with the 2 blacks, a red, a silver, and a blue....

that sounds good to me Falkeen. We just can't take any shots of my car from behind cause there's a big graze going along my back bar from where some butthead reversed into it and drove off.

How bad? Glass cracked, or paint only damage?

Sorry to hear about it Brad
