Melbourne Meet - Results

Folks,

Its been a few weeks, but thanks to all those that turned up for the Melbourne Meet on the 28th. Good to see the 5 cars there. For those that are interested, we plan to do it again before the end of November.

Here is a collection of a few pics from the day

Cheers Stoli

Hi guys, I'm an American or should I say a "Yank". I lived in Melbourne from early 94 to late 96. During that time I ownded an MX-5 and belonged to the MX-5 club. There was a guy in the club that made low profile stick on licence plates in your cars color. The look wasn't perfect but was much better than the metal plate. I also never had an issue with the police. You might think about doing the same.

By the way, your cars look great - I would like to be there with you.

Love your work guys !

The cars look great, particularly as you managed to get a location where you could do some synchronised posing.

Just think how good it could be if one day we could organise an RX-8 Meet for the East Coast and have cars from QLD, NSW and VIC all in one spot. It would have to be an overnighter of course.

Food for thought....

Sound like it would be in Sydney... not sure about the stretch of road between Albury and Sydney...

It will be fun wouldn't it? How about meeting in Canberra?

Canberra would be a bit hard on the banana benders, that's 1300+km (approx 8 hours driving for L&L barefoot or 9 with thongs ), but a good 15 hours safe driving + stops for the rest.

I think it would be good to maybe just make a bit of noise when you've got an interstate run coming up and try and catch a few of the locals at the very least. (ie; post you interstate travel dates a bit in advance).

What do you all think?

Kev.

re- more

Tried to send a message to Stoli however had no luck so sending on the open forum:

Hey mate, thanks for the note.

I was away for a while and unfortunately could not make the day in question, however I'm always very keen to go on drive days or the like,

I like your style with the note, sure we'll have a blast in the near future,

Will give you a call, tentatively could do next weekend(18th or 19th) for an early morning thrash around the hills, maybe black spur or just around the hills / or even portsea way. Hills of course are more fun in this car!

Let me know what you think,

Cheers

P.S. Of course I expect Wizza and anyone else who wishes to come to join in, however it WILL be a very early start!

Simon

Simon,

Small world isn't it. Hope you didn't mind the note. One of the guys at work saw your car and mentioned to me the rego plate. Other than seeing your photos on this forum I was also on the way to the airport the other day and the HC driver and I got talking cars. I said I had an 8 and he explained he had another client with an 8 ......guess who - yes you.

And yes that was me that followed you on the Monash to work today. I work 4 doors up.

I am off to the MotoGP on the 19th. Lets go for a blast the weekend after if possible. Even if it is just for a few hours.

I sure Wizza will be in it.

Cheers, Stoli.

Syphon,

Welcome - glad you see you are using the search function. Otherwise, you will not find this old thread in 2003.

Stoli started the first cruise - even before I get my car. Unfortunately, his Last Activity was 04-02-2004 10:32 PM

The Melbourne meet is better than ever in 2006:

July 15: Drift day (booked out)
