Congrats on the Win Team. The display looked awesome.

I must say, i was alittle disapointed in the Non-raid meetup at the corner of Blackburn Rd and Princes Hwy leaving before 8.30.

I was supposed to attend, but i got there and they had left. And to my own fault, i forgot to bring the piece of paper i had Mrs XA's number on. Nevermind, next year.

Jeff, I know I can't swear but, that trophy is F****n awesome. Nicole, thanks for orgainising the event. I think more like this is in order!

I was very happy with our display and thought it looked 100 times better than the 'carpark' displays that everyone else had.

Had a ball, a bit tired I ended up crashing out on the couch pretty much straight after getting home, well done to all involved, also a great effort by those who travelled interstate for this.

There certainly was a lot on display trackside

Display looked good people. Some nice looking cars in there. Mine was in one of the "Car Park" type displays.

Congrats on the trophy

I would like to thank Mrs XA Coupe, for her brilliant efforts in organising this all to happen, it was great to see AFF walk away with the trophy at the end of it all!!! Thanks to XA Coupe for all your efforts too

I must say with everything else going on we nearly forgot there was actually a race on, but at the end of it all FORD WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who didn't make it, the AFF display was great, it showed the diversity of larger Fords. I must say stand out at the AFF display for me was auslandau's Landau, very much a case of drool factor, even got a mention over the PA!!!! But all the cars that were there were brilliant and a real credit to their owners, nothing was remotely similiar, each had its own setup.

Also congrats to Craig@ACE for his award with the funny car. And tickford2001, for his 7th position in Race 3 on the Sunday in the saloon car series.

As always it was great to meet some new faces and catch up with others. I had a great time talking to various people about my XB, once again.

The only down side to the day was the rain on the way back. mental note: XB doesn't like stopping in the wet......

Well done to those who attended. As said, the day was awsome.
To top it all of we won club display, or really, Nicole won club display. The effort you put in and your comintment to this was fenominal. Turning up saturday to set up, then to leave again so that you could organise other things(RAID) takes alot of comitment.

Once again, cheers to all those there.
