Toyota Nationals 2006

[The Witzl]

Rod & Kirsty,

I tried to get something further away, but unforunately this was the only available 2 bedroom apartment. Anyhoo - will do my best
Hopefully the bar/conference room thingy is open again and we can use that for shenanigans.


Thunderbird2 - the event usually has around 40-50 entered cars and a whole bunch of tag-alongs, but usually not all that many from the post 1994 era. Of course it would be AWESOME to see the IS200/altezza guys out there showing that there ARE enthusiasts of the modern Toyotas.
Dont forget to enter the drags either!!!

I heard rumors they are not letting any cars into the show n shine with rust, dints etc? Seems a bit harsh doesn't it? I'd like to see some cars with credit to engineering not just pretty paint.

Can anyone confirm that is the case?
Cheers
Joel

I would find it hard to believe that would be the case, I mean we are all screwed if that was the rule. What TAXX, RAXX etc.. doesn't have a little rust somewhere, and what car does't have the off small car park scratch or ding(I know mine does...and it'a a JZA80).

I think what they are worried about are things like whole quater panels dinged in, drivers doors smashed in, or rust that's eaten a hole in the roof. I'll email Grant though and get him here to clarify.

There is quite a bit of interest from the Supra forums so I dare say there will be quite a few Supras there.... It'll be a bit like Toyofest, if we get enough people with some later model cars there it really brings a whole other aspect to the show. Toyofest was awesome this year cause it had the tuff old school cars, with a good mix of late model cars(Altezzas, Supras, Soarers, MR2's etc..)

It's all good Karl,
if you get to noisy I'll just join Grant in hurling abuse, the weekend is for everyone to enjoy

I think it's an effort to prevent me from entering.

[visions162]

that will stuff me entering as i have a chip in my mudflap lol

[smt_007]

Some of us Lexus/Toyota/Altezza wannabes should be there *fingers crossed*

Are there normally many 'modern' ..say, post 1994 cars at this event? What is the approximate size/scale of the event, for those of us who haven't been before?

Just downloaded the entry forms, the drag racing standards scare me, i'd atleast need to put an overflow bottle in.

Ha Seriously though, guys I don't think any of your cars would be a problem.

[RONA]

Mine is definately not a show car err interior is a tad messy pop bonnet woopsy paint doesn't match oh noes.

[Alchemist]

I've seen pics of Eds(your) car, it'd be fine.

[RONA]

Mismatching seats now too

[The Witzl]

ed's old car needs a farken decent ECU and tune

I hope this Supra bunch and the IS200 guys do come out this year, would be awesome to see a new batch of enthusiasts join the crowd!

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Hey, better than a stock ECU being held up with faith and the glovebox bracket...and no glovebox
