Hope it's been a safe and uneventful trip back this far guys.
Now let Fordy's Bellingen Bash begin! :):) |

The 21st Nationals was an awesome event - the lowish numbers were an exception this year - we were about to count 15+ people who would be there if they could but circumstances beyond their control were unable to attend. It will be back again next year better than ever. Cheers |
Where did that come from?
Well I don't know what that previous post relates to, but in the short time I was there on Saturday and Sunday (due to the difficulty of keeping the kids occupied for a full day) I found the members that I spoke to a great bunch!!
Thanks a million to "Tenrocca" for taking my family for a blast as well as pressuring me into having a drive of his beast :D Havent been that nevrvous in years, it was sort of like a father encouraging me to take his daughter out - and that has never happened %/ I can only speak highly of what I experienced on the weekend, and as a result I have just transferred $$$ for membership. So lets see if I get accepted :p Thanks all! Dani |

That bugger Tenrocca pipped me at the post 3 times :-) (Well deserved of course Andrew). From what I saw everyone had a ball and there was a lot of sharing/sourcing of parts/spanners/zip ties/hose clamps and I reckon the Goulburn Car Wrecker/Spare parts economy was boosted a fair bit :-). To the NSW CCC - great event and the people I spoke to who couldn't make it are all fired up for next year. Cheers Gregg a.k.a. The Raisin |

Why wouldn't you just join the Qld club? I am sure that they would love such a selfless member within their ranks. |
I attended, it was my first nationals, and sadly sans-car, but it was such a good three days that I have already booked accommodation for next year, and my car will be there too! Tenrocca won to many trophies, we gotta work on fixing that. :p
A tiring but uneventful trip home thankfully. When I get a chance I will drop a heap of photos on to photobucket and share the link. |

Great response , you also lead with the minority which is unfortunate for the club. No thanks I will bow out of this form of Club .
|
That's the problem with soaring like an eagle. It's cold and lonely up there. The vast majority of us turkeys like it down here where it's warm and friendly and lots of other turkeys to talk to.
|
I don't lead with anyone.
You should feel free to join the forum. But don't get on your soap box with your first post and be upset if no one shares your opinion. |
Cheers ye all have a great night down there

Dear Mongrel,
or is it perhaps Mark Crespin? (Apologies if it isn't, just taking a blind stab from the limited info provided in this thread) Any chance perhaps that your application was received late? I don't have any facts, so please excuse me if I'm way out of line, but the circumstantial evidence suggests that this may have contributed to your situation. Quote:

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to organise such an event. But I can only imagine late applications are a pain in the ar$e, particularly as one has all year to register. Well done and many thanks to those who put on the "show". Although yet to go as a participant I'm grateful to all those who are involved. I'm hoping to be there next year. As to those who criticise. Here's some advice: One has NO RIGHT to criticise, unless they excercise THEIR TIME and ENERGY to HELP.... Just sayin' Kindest regards |
No there is no suggestion of my entry being late, ..funny thing was after being refused entry I was getting emails to enter as the numbers were down and that was right up till a week before the Nationals. OBviously the right hand didn't know what the left was doing. My post was to express my dissappointment and I can make no sense out of what happened to me on a personal .

No problem Dani - it was great to meet you and your lovely family. I hope I helped convince them all a cobra is a great idea. Quote:

We've only got half the story here. As I stated in my original post it seems strange they would reject your entry so it would be interesting to get the whole story.
I would suggest though that using a rant as your entrance to the forum is not going to win you a lot of sympathy here. We are all passionate about our cars and the hobby. This is one of the friendliest forums I've ever been on. People are by and large very accepting and not judgmental and we have a very broad cross section of people on here. In your first post you've basically said "put your sunnies on fellas, I'm about to bend over" and then gone on to say "I'm too cool, for you turkeys". Are you expecting us to swoon like teenage girls when The Beatles walk on stage? " Ohh He's dreamy, please sign my man boobs" You are probably not going to make to many friends on here with that attitude. There are plenty of successful folks on here that don't feel the need to announce it to the world. Look at me for example. Not may people know I was Goulburn Valley under 25 Champion of Champions in full bore rifle target shooting and I've got a plastic trophy and everything (I won't mention that only one other bloke turned up to the final). If you want to put the ego aside and get to know people on here you will find a really nice bunch of fellow car enthusiasts. I'm sure we would all be interested to learn more about your car and what you have done with it. You might even learn a few things from the folks on here and make some new friends. I've made some great friends on here. Just sayin... |
Ahhhhhhh. Mongrel, what a *****. Constructive criticism is always welcome but it seems you are not a happy chappy and have a lot of tickets on yourself. Stay indoors on a windy day.:LOL:

Real friendly forum to be on by the sounds of things, particularly with the likes of Mikes kind words. Absolutely you have to stand tall when people knock you down, and I was served unjust circumstances and I don"t mind telling you all.Keep up the good work Mike you have a great vocabulary and an interesting imagination.

An outstanding event as per usual. Awesome weather, great people and good vibes all round.
Was great to catch up with everyone and meet even more I'd not met before. Numbers were down but as tenrocca says with the 15 or so regulars all not making it this year it did have an affect. Cars were great and the laughs were classic. Lots of tools and expertise being shared. It's nice to share tools and have them returned with a thanks and a smile. Really great. My nats ended early with another blown diff. I managed to share some family time at the local fair which was a bonus then missed the Sunday night dinner with 5 hours in goulburn hospital with pancreatitis. Not the best nats for the Spookypt family this year but will I be back again next year??? Bloody oath. My goal is to make it passed Fridays bloody practice. Thanks to all the event organizers for the thankless task of putting it all together. Well done. See you all next year. Spookypt |
Fantastic event,really well done!Amazing cars
