Well after a very long weekend down in the sun, to say it was awesome is an understatement!
I hadn't been down to this event for a couple of years & it has grown HUGE!
My friends were there for 3 days & 2 nights & I stayed for 2 days & 1 night & wish I had of gone down with them for the extra day & night.
They had a hotel room right on the main drag & just kicking back drinking jack stubbies watching the cars & people roll past was relaxing as hell!
The night life went off & was crazy as, incl. the late night pier nude jumping (which I missed out on! DOH!) haha More of that for another time.
There were heaps of cars & even more people & I'm pretty confident there would of been something there for everyone!
My highlight was Dom talking me into entering my car to get some track time.
& it was awesome fun!
So with Nick (Dom's dad) as my co-pilot after helping hotwiring a hotrod & Josh & then Dom as passengers it was time for some fun! LEGALLY! haha
At first I copped all the usual heckling like "they'll let anything in here with chrome bumpers!" or "You've got to be kidding me! A VW!" & a few more!
But after a couple of pitlane exit powerskids, the crowd turned around & started pointing & grabbing there mates as we came around again! haha
The car performed faultlessly through out the entire weekend (except for a crappy thermofan earth connection which caused alittle bit of overheating! Damn 76er's earth connections!) incl. the 8 hour round trip to & from home.
I still have the ignition would up to aggressively, & pings when hot & in 3rd, but it can still crack on & turn you into a giggle fit.
I only went out for some fun & a bit of a **** stir with some fast muscle car's. Not many people had a bite, but it wasn't long before people were all turning there heads & giving a few thumb's up to us out on the track!
I tried it on with a friends 12 sec turbo'd falcon & he didn't take the chance. In all honesty, he would have flogged me, but he was still alittle weary about it!
I think it was the rolling 50+km/h powerskids! haha
Now all I need is another power upgrade. I'm thinking more than double the output of whats its got!
Anyway. On with the pic's
I got alittle bit artistic with my camera. I got it for xmas. Its only a point & shoot 12megapixel Olympus Optio S12
some pics are alittle average, cause of people walking around everywhere & you just had to get in & take the pic & move on.

Yeah sorry, didn't take any pics of my car down there. Not the sort of car that fits in. It was also pretty filthy too!
Pretty hard to take a pic of my car while driving of my own car too! haha
Dom did get some in car video footage, but the file is bloody huge & there isn't really much to see or hear.
I also don't have the first clue how to upload it either!
