Yeah warehouse looks like its all over, shame got some good memories about that place. Also that VL brodie is a turbo, i saw it at a workshop with the bonnet up, looked pretty standard - cross over pipe, standard inlet manifold etc. Dont know if he's on here, probabily not given the cars plates have been dropped in this thread a couple of times to no response, not many on this site from bendigo at all?

I stand corrected!! Nice car all the same!! Yeah, the curfew has done most of the damage to the nightlife, not that I go out often, some weekends it's just flat out at the clubs, other weekends as stated.....dead.

Yeah i saw Brodie at cliff daws automotive i think it was, while i was getting a dB test done about a year ago, looked like he had tranny problems. Dont know if its a BT-1 or not, tried to talk to the mech about it but he didnt want to know me. Pistol you take your car out much? should get a cruise going.

Been around for a couple of months now I think, basically no one is aloud into a club/pub after 2 am in the c.b.d. don�t know if your not aloud on the street or not, pretty sure the cops would get you there too. Yeah the old law was never policed thanks to clubs like warehouse not giving a sh*t (think there was more to that club than most people saw if you get me), before Christmas the counsel and police had finally had enough of fights and hoons etc so they put the boots in. It�s worked though, damm ghost town now, suppose its better for the residents though. Quote: Originally Posted by Pistol Yup, it's my daily! we should do a bit of a cruise, once we find a few more VL owners in Bendigo to come along! ;-) Yeah I get the impression there�s not many at all, I spend most my time in Melbourne at uni now so I don�t really know any VL owners up there at all. Wonder how long it would take the Epsom cops to come and try to defect everyone? Although I haven�t seen the modified car scene up there for awhile, is it as dead as the other night life?

Epsom cops? i thought they built that big **** monstrosety for the whole lot of em, so they`d all be in one spot?

Warehouse is completely gone as far as I can tell, thought I’d go there awhile on Saturday night, so went up past the mall turned the corner and nothing, doors shut up no advertising, nothing! Don’t know what time other clubs shut up now, thinking a lot earlier than 5 though, I left by 2 or so no point even being there. The Epsom thing was more my experience; always had cops from epsom base bothering us although that was back in 2005, there probably based at that "thing" of a building now like you said. Seems like they have come down really hard lately, shame used to have some wild nights up there from time to time.

Hey Paul, It was great to meet you mate at Heathcote. Thanks again for the excellent job you did. The photo's were pretty cool too. May see you out there again. I'll be there this weekend if it doesn't rain. Gonna turn up the wick some more and try again. Cheers, Ron.
