bugger, ive opted to spend money making my car go fast

so i havent got rego

but ill do my best to work something out. mikinoz, what do you drive?

**mikinoz** · 06-07-2005, 12:01 PM

Rego is a pain, but be thankful that we don't have green and pink slips like NSW etc...

I drive a Black 1.6 Golf, Silver roof racks and the standard wheels (steel). I love this car, just gets on and does what is asked, but in good time!!

Also have a 1969 Sumbeam Imp and a 2005 XT Forester to keep me satisfied for 'drivers' cars.

When are you getting the renewal sticker and we can get out?

Must have been a late one...And a Sunbeam! Still have the Rootes made Coventry Climax engine? These were great cars and would give a mini Cooper a scare even in standard form. And oh, so tuneable!

Yeah it has a Cov Climax still - 930cc of power! Tuneable? You need to come for a ride in her!

FYI Tassie guys, the Subaru Safari will have loads of action this weekend in Geeveston. If you are going down, send me a PM as I am going to go down with the Forester club guys.

Peace!

ok, so a few tassie guys have been throwing round the idea of having kind of a club "meeting" in the not to distant future. TassieGTi suggested we all head out to baskerville, make a day trip of it, have a bbq there and spend the day on the track! as far as i know its $80 for as many laps as you can handle?

Also, with the two Spirit ferries being discounted so much, it's easy for mainlanders (especially those in Sydney and Melbourne) to hop on the ferry and come over for a weekend. We have a tourist cottage on our farm that could sleep a heap of people.

Just a reminder.........

thanks mate but being a teenager ive only got my L's so someone has to come with me... and i need to get my cars roadworthy before i can do something like this.

Well I will be happy to join in... Really not sure how the performance of a 1.6 Mk IV is on 80 series steel rims, but what the heck!

Let us know when you get it sorted...

I thought it was only registered clubs that can do the Baskerville Tack days? No quoting me on that...
