Might have to try and make an effort for the DOVW with a heap of my tassie customers. The white Mk5 GTI is definately going to that one. All depends on when the other GTI drive days are.....

Oh Nooo! They're dropping like flies.
A friend of mine who's recently joined and bought a VR6 is coming along, along with "the seater" who used to have a Cupra Sport but has down graded(joking) to a mk1 MX5, not sure if he'll bring his mx5.
I think we should bring our friends and families if we can. I'm hoping this awesome weather will hold out.

Why don't you run the steelies on the rear aswell wabit? look a bit neater. I had to run 2 14inch mk4 steelies on the rear for a while (wouldn't fit over front brakes lol) and i was sick of people asking if it's rear wheel drive or gimmiking that it was.

9:30am at Albert Park Meeting place

Robbie Williams is 2 weeks after in Adelaide. Thats pretty well paid for now.
The only problem I really have is that after a few days off work it really builds up workwise. I am still doing 5.30 starts after my 2.5 days off in Melbourne for the GTI thing. Am booked solid till October the 10th too so any breakdowns mean earlier starts! Its a big juggling act.
Still, I am going to try and see how I can manage to get accross. I don't think it will be as hectic as the GTI weekend. I have been to the DOVW a few times. Only in aircoolers though. :)

BLKMJC
23-09-2006, 09:56 AM
When is the DOVW? Can anyone enter? Its in Melbourne?

Is it ok if a mate tags along in a typeRice :) Still not sure if I'll make it, the joys of modified cars :(

Do u guys realise the Aus rally championship is on this wknd?
They have a service park at the yarra valley race course where u can walk around and look at all the rally cars....
why dont u guys drive up there and have a look. U can then even go to a few stages.. it only costs about $15 bucks

gtimk5
23-09-2006, 11:33 AM
Final round of the championship too, is it? Well worth a look. Evans and Pedder are so much faster and spectacular to watch than the others. :)

IMO its actually kinda ghey to watch. I went up in 04 & 05. The spectator points are pathetic. They have like 2 spots on about 3 stages AND THATS IT! So you get a heap of peeps going to the same spot and it gets crowded. You then see a whole 10 seconds (literally) of each rally car as it zooms past *yawn*
The special stage at the winery is ok, but even then u are way to far away from the action to see anything worth while.

I just went upto the service park (only 30 min from my place) and it was pretty empty, must have missed them.
The only good thing I saw where these

Sorry, won't be joining you – going on the VWCV cruise to Eildon. Just got my beetle back from the crash repairer. Now, it won't take the water-cooled brigade too long to drive up there will it? Why stop at Maroondah Lake, when the Black Spur and then Eildon is only up the road.
Have fun.
