i vote 1200rc for secretary... he has the legs for the skirt and really he nneds to work on filling those nails....
But really, its not too hard, just have to find out the costs to register and have one annual general meeting. and if the club makes a loss, maybe it can becom a tax haven for all the members... ca18dets for all i say! Vote 1 now...

Ben, the only way this club could become a legit club would be to become a member of AOMC. Then we could get the CH plate sceam. But we would also have to have a Pres, sec, Tres, etc.

We need to somehow get this forum considered as a 'car club' - as I am planning to register my 1200 with Club CH plates - then I could drive it on public roads as part of a 'club function'.

How would we go about doing that?

Actually i would be interestedin joining in on a cruise or 2. Im in Bendigo, and awaiting the arrival of my new datto (previously had a 120y 2 door sedan)

New car is a 4 door 120y, with a14 and holley carb.

Soon as shes on the road ill try make it to a cruise near me...

Beware that not all people will make the increased number worthwhile.

I've seen combined cruises in the past, many work, but not knowing some of the people leads to outsiders doing stupid things, and everyone getting labelled as hoons by the local cops. With everyone ending up with annoying "defect stickers" requiring more work, leaving less time for all the things we like doing.

Sydney Datto club cruises are an example. We invited other clubs, and ended up watching some autosalon boy doing reverse donuts in his CRX. We all boo'ed him and told him to piss off. Some people just don't get it.

More Dattos are needed that's all.

not a bad idea rc

maybe we just need to concentrate on convincing another half dozen or so 1200 club members to come along...

then we'd have just the number of cars that u desire to cruise with

big thanks to boofhead for organising

was just writing bout my effort to get ready in another thread

pity i was a bit out of it, but had plenty of fun, especially chasing boofhead through the twisties at one stage

apparently i need a louder blow-off valve as my intimidation technique wasnt working so well

sooooooo what are we doing next

im hi-jacking the thread a little now.... but
who would be keen on extending the cruise to say "small-japs" to get some more numbers/interesting cars in the form of old corollas/spritnters , mazdas, etc etc, maybe even try to include escorts, cordias

call it "old skool 4's and rotars cruise" or whateva suits, inviting people from other forums

as it seems hard to get more numbers in the form of small dattos, and i think we are all thinking, yeah same-old cars turning up again, as good as it is, would be nice to get some fresh meat to look at

the only thing would be to try not to get too many numbers, where we would need much more organising and to be much more official about it all

Sounds like a great day had buy all.
I would have love to come along but i raced a sandown yesterday & it would have been to hard to do both.
Lurch
I will see you at calder on the 31st

Dang... Sounds like everyone had a great time. I must make it next time.

I, like Mad120y, had a 'maintenance' day on my Zed (NO, We are NOT the same person...) fixing bits & pecies etc. so I can run at Calder on the 31st...

See you guys on the next one!

was a great cruise... big thanks to boof for
organising it all and putting on the bbq.

it was good to see the regulars who show up at each of the cruises..
a bit of a shame there wasnt any more cars present...

hopefully next time we will see better
weather and a better turnout..

all in all it was a good day... the ute has proven its somewhat reliable...
and after spending the last 9 months lying on my back under it.. or with my head under the bonnet..
it was good to be able to finally enjoy all the effort that ive put into it...

time now to finish it off and get it engineered...
cant wait for the next cruise especially as
the weather gets better

thanks again
