I remember the Vince Organ, Tempe Tyres stickered cars doing alot of mini burnouts around the cruise route never actually saw them enter the burnout comp though. They had a VL GRP A, a grey Calais turbo a purple VK, a red VLT and a LJ Torana as far as I can remember. Yeah those cars coped a caneing on the summernats weekend. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'll have to meet up with the VL brigade down there. I will be there with my bro (not taking down the JET either, won't be ready in time). Work will start this week on my machine for an assault on Summernats '05! (that is so far away! but it will probably take that long anyway!) Hopefully it is back driving again mid year. The Nats should rock this year.... will be getting alot of ideas for mine....

Not to long to go now but the closer it's gets the more I have to do. It would be good just once to have the car ready 6 months earlyer and pull the cover off and just drive down no problems.

Ahh George. Dusn matter mate, you'll have it ready for the ANZAC cruise at least, eh? Remember the King Mantra, lol! What time are people travelling down from Syd to Cbr? I was thinking for myself 4am Thur to avoid any police set-ups and to arrive just at 7am for the scrutineering.

If you want to keep 'em in, you have to accomodate them. Just wish they'd bring back the Supercruise up Northbourne Ave (great event, spoiled by a few ****heads ).
