    Nice pics Simon.

    Was good fun, shame about the small(ish) turnout but overall a nice excuse to put a car on day rego. Also (unexpectedly of course) I got sent home by police around 5pm.

    Clever me, after cruising aimlessly around Canberra for the better part of 3 hours, decided i wanted to hear what the car sounded like in an underground car park. So i did a quick loop and headed for the ramp to the next level and thought "I wonder what the blow off sounds like in here"... High boost + incline + dickhead driving = extended lack of traction. Anyway, to cut the story short, there were police waiting at the entrance for me.
    I told the 2 police officers the whole story truthfully and they laughed (extended lack of traction was the police officers term) and said if they can be bothered reporting it they will send the fine through the mail but that i should just get home and stop being dickhead.

    So all-in-all it was an action packed day.

    Justen,

    Mainly track days organised by Ultimate tunes (they have a big Evo and Sti following) but he was planning to hit up some of the hillclimbs soon.

    Alex,

    Dude that is way to funny.

    Still props to the Police that they didn't automatically treat you like an urban terrorist and try to impound/arrest/fine/etc you and the car.

    Will be awesome when you get that package into your 28.

    Cheers

    Jeremy

    About the 28, check my members ride thread... it might be a while before it gets transplanted...

    that shit is too funny bacondude Did you have a momentary lapse of sanity and think you were part of a Honda club by some chance? Cops must have felt sorry for you, cruising around the carparks with all your mates

    Top day fellas. Nice to speak to some like-minded JDM enthusiasts from all camps, not just the Toyotas. I only went on the dyno to rep 1JZ love but I'm pretty sure the psycho panelvan did a much much better job of that
