my dad got his ducati monster in the tray of my ute in a straight line with the tailgate down. the bike weighs 185kg so it was saggin a bit in the rear though.

i do cross country mountain biking and road bike riding (don't worry, i refuse to wear lycra ).

sounds good but cars that are painted matte black look like they've been raped, better off with a matte red but that's just my opinion. shag pile carpet might make it look tacky but each to their own. it'll be interesting to see the end product.

yeah man i'd go a nice dark green like the beemer colour and them paint the wheels black and really polish up all the chrome bits like the bumpers and stuff.

much happen today? will there be many cars in civic tonight? the mob was funny last night, i was walking round with everyone.

mk1's have a dogbone style grille and mainly rounde body where as mk2's have a pretty much rectangular grille and a more boxy body. how much are you looking for?

i reckon that if it was done right a ute could look alright with a canopy as long as it stayed inside the lines of the car. just print off a picture of a ute and trace the outline and add the canopy that you want to see if it would look any good.
post pictures if you get around to it.

damn, you're missin out man. i went today and i'm goin again tommorrow after the datto meet. i watched the go to whoa today and there was a v8 120y that looked bog stock from the outside complete with hubcaps. there was also a mad sr20det 1600 at the go to whoa, it was sideways most of the way and it was squatting in the arse under power too. did anyone get footage of this 1600?

yeh i've gone on saturday the last few years but i wanted to see the burnouts and go to whoa this year. friday might be better if the street cars are doing burnouts and i guess everyone will be there by then.

edit:does anyone know if any of the mags or news programs turning up?

yeh cool. most of the cars will stay for sunday won't they? looking forward to the datsun meet, what time does it start?
