MR2 Club NSW 30th Anniversary of the MR2 - 28th June 2014

[wiso]

This year marks 30 years since the AW11 Toyota MR2 was first available for sale back in 1984, so the MR2 Club of NSW has decided to host an event and celebrate this milestone for the car and marque that we love!



2014 will also be the 25th anniversary of the SW20 (first launched in 1989) and the 15th anniversary of the ZZW30 (launched in 1999) MR2's, so it's a special year no matter which model you own and love!


Location:
The activities for the day will start with a cruise, our convoy of MR2's driving over the Anzac and Sydney Harbour bridges after which we will then head out to Al Palmer Repairs in Penrith, where we will have a BBQ lunch and MR2 Show n Shine from midday.
Date:
Saturday 28th June 2014
Time:
The cruise to start the day will commence at approximately 10:00am, meeting from 9:30am at Maliyawul Street in Lilyfield ( this is a small street along the water next to Iron Cove, where we'll all meet and take some pics before we depart )
OR
the actual event will kick off at Al Palmer Repairs in Penrith at 12:00pm

We need your help to make this day as big as we can. If you know of anyone with an MR2 please tell them about it, get them along. The entry for the show and shine is only open to Toyota MR2 Bodied vehicles but anyone is welcome to come along for a look and be apart of the festivities on the day.

We will have trophies for the best MR2's of the day, as well as other prizes and giveaways, stay tuned for more info as we get closer to the event.

It is scheduled for the weekend after the event hosted by the MR2 Owners Club of Australia - VIC Branch, so you won't miss out on either if you were planning to head south of the border for the Vic event.

This will be an day not to be missed, so clear the date in your schedule now!

For more info you can email the Club directly on [email protected]

We will also update our website as new info emerges http://mr2club.com.au/nsw/upcoming events

I know I said I'd make the last cruise, but very little to stop me this time!

Hope to make the VIC one and definitely do this one.

I'm in!....

Still on track to make this. I've also started rallying the ACT AW11 gang to see if they can join the ACT MR2 owners group for the cruise up.

come on maj, you surely can get this done, I have spent the last 3 weekends putting my extremely experimental ITB setup on my car, if it doesn't work I will have to revert everything to stock. Surely you can get your motor running before I have to do that.

This weekend I will definitely know whether engine is all good or not (don't see why not). Final suspension parts won't make it until next week but if I get enough time I can whack on my current stuff and give the car a road test to see if the transmission is fine too this weekend.
Once that hurdle is over, it's basically swapping out worn suspension/brakes for new, so whilst it's still getting it over the hill, all the hard work is done, hence why I'm still on track

Last 3 weekends have been spent working on it, next 3 to come are available too.

Also We are thrilled to announce that our good friends at Gorilla Industries have come on board as a sponsor for our 30th Anniversary event!

The boys have kindly donated a massive $150 voucher to be used towards the purchase of anything they sell, which will be drawn in a special raffle on the day for entrants in our Show and Shine!


Just under 2 weeks to go now. There are 6 categories available for show and shine entry with each generation MR2 getting a best "Modified" and best "Original".


See you then.

Last time I drove in pouring rain to pre meet to drive Back to Penrith and everyone left early.
