[SillyCarS]

haha whyalla is fkn sht hole, im so glad i didnt take that job with onesteel

what about an old celica at the show?

[AndrewJZX100]

Hm, doubt ill be arsed getting the AE86 out there. No trailer and no towcar makes it a bit hard.

It's a Charity car show event, there is a section on the 'permit to drive an unregistered vehicle' form that relates to this, just tick that, tell them which roads you need to use to get there and back and you're done.

Guess how the 81 is getting there

Rego isnt the problem, its more the 142db exhaust, no speedo, no thermofan, 450deg C brake pads, full cage, minimum visibility, and semislicks which is the problem.

[MR 1JZ]

takai I will drive it down there for you

thats how much of a nice guy I am

Seen the 81? save for the pads/cage it's pretty much the same. Sure you'll get pulled by every cop that eyeballs it, but you're doing it properly (permit to a charity event) so theres no sweat.

I got pulled permitting the 81 home and as soon as the officer saw my permit it was gravy.

what about an old celica at the show?

I think a few of the guys from the Classic Celica Club will be entering

[Sagluren]

im not entering but i will be there, scoping out all the old school.

[Iron Chef]

just got my approval today, looks very proffesional and i cant wait for the day.

since its a non-profit thing and all monies go to charity are you able to disclose cost and forecast 'profit' and also the after even takings? also what charity is recieving the funds and how is this charity chosen?

At this stage the "charity" chosen is CFS - we're still awaiting their approval before we can go broadcasting the fact. There are often extra resources that can be provided to the volunteers that fall outside the scope of govt funding, and with two brothers who are CFS captains and a cousin who died in the Black Tuesday fires, it's something I'm very passionate about contributing to.

I can tell you now that I will go close to forking out $2000 of my own money for the event - blind Freddy can tell you that we will need 200 cars at least before the entrant's money starts getting thrown back into the pot.

The reason we even chose to have a donation to charity was because we didn't feel comfortable making a profit from the day, and thought that the money could be put to better use than lining our pockets. To be honest, if I wanted to make money, running this car show wouldn't be the best way to do it

I'm hoping a rep from the CFS will be there to accept the donations on the day (saves us having to count it!), but if not, tallies will be posted on the website once they're counted and delivered.

Sounds good, oldschool variety is always interesting, shall have to drive down in the adub for a looksee.
