Hey Shell,

Just hoping to meet up with as many local skyline owners while visiting canberra. I dont know how often you guys meet up down there, but local knowledge ( roads, potholes,petrol stations etc) would really come in handy. R there many skylines down there?


Regards,
ken Obakemono( Japanese word for GTR)

Ken

Well, we've only had 2 SDU meets so far (and we had to plan them weeks in advance to get the numbers!! even then, they haven't been huge)

there is quite a Skylines around here, but not many of them are on the SDU forum.

Where are u staying? If another car or two was keen as well, I might be up for a quick fang :D

Shell,
sorry for the late post. I'll be staying in Civic ( probably Saville or any nearby hotel with secure parking facilities). Although I hear canberra is reasonably safe compared to Sydney, better to be safe than sorry eh?
Glad to hear there are a few Skyline owners in ACT. Hope some more people reply to this post over the next few Days.

compared to being around train drivers, it will be a nice change to talk with fellow skyline drivers.

Shell, Thanks for the reply.

looking forward to hearing from everyone soon.

Bye for now,
Ken Obakemono

Good 2 hear from U.
Should be free from 8pm onwards. Maybe meet up in Civic as it is easy to find.
Have you guys got any ideas regarding meeting place?

Hi guys and girls,

I might come and play as well:smoka: . It’s just I don’t know how long I'll be able to stay. I was waiting for the next Canberra meet.

Depending on what time you guys are wanting to meet, I could show my face too... ;)

PS, does anyone here own the wine R33 GTS-T with the Nismo sticker on the windscreen?

mine's wine red!!
but no Nismo sticker 'cos I ain't got no Nismo "bits" :silly2:

Guys, i'll definately come along if a few others do. 8pm sounds pretty good! Anyone else (besides me & Jay) on the Southside? maybe we could meet up and cruise into Civic together? ;)

obakemono
11-13-2001, 05:00 AM
hey everybody,
Looks like we have 4 people who may show. And all R33s too...5 including me. ( What a sight that will be!)

now that the ball is rolling, others may want to join in as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to meet up?

Shell: Yeah, I finally got my car on the road :flash: I was going to post some pics but couldn’t get hold of a digital cam. I’m a southsider too. I see you sometimes cruising around in your beast :) and a silver R33 too. I think that could be Jay’s.

Jay95R33

My god - looks like we'll have a few there this time hay Shell :p

I'll try my best to be there, would be great to meet a few others.

Silver - I think I've seen the one that your talking about, does it have white mags???

There is also a black one that parks down near PJ's in Tugger's most Friday arvo's. loooooooovvve his mags, but never met him/her.

Jay - The wine R33 i am talking about has a 'slight' ;) dent in the LHR quarter panel....

How many R33's are there in Canberra? I have seen about 15 or so on the northside, 2 yellows, but most are silver, so there goes the originality of my ride... :(

Where are we meeting?? We can go to the same spot as the Syndicate boys - plenty of space and they will like the show... :D

Shell
11-14-2001, 03:25 AM
I've heard about the one with the "slight" dent LOL :hehe: my b/f told me about it cos we used to see it around before it got the dent ;)

Silver_R33, do you mean the museum??
obakemono, do you know how to get there?

Jay95R33
11-14-2001, 04:07 AM
Hmmm, I'm not sure where they meet either.:confused:

Is this meet only for R33?

or can any other Skylines meet up?

Shell
11-14-2001, 07:06 AM
yes, sorry vspec2 - GTST's only :p :p :p

hey we need to sort out a meeting spot ppl!!
Either the national museum (I *think* that's where Silver_R33 meant!)....or what about up the top of black mtn?? We could have fun on the way down hehe ;)

Either that or a car park in Civic somewhere..

Someone make a decision!!! ;)
I reckon Black Mountain would be cool.

SHELL :jump:

vspec2
11-14-2001, 11:47 PM
guess i'll be cruising all alone by myself then!!:(

Shell
11-15-2001, 01:52 AM
aaaaaaaww vspec2, I'm just hasslin' ya! :D
of course u can come!!

but by the looks of things, no one is cruising tonight! :(

I propose:
8pm
Carpark @ the top of Black Mountain

If anyone is still keen, leave a reply.....I will check back later. (Gee, us canberra ppl are just soooooo organised aren't we?? hehe)

Silver_R33
11-15-2001, 01:55 AM
National museum is what I was meaning - the one with the orange all over it with a HUGE carpark!!! :)

Everyone come!!!! I wont be able to stay long, but I'll be there at 8:15pm or so. How does everyone like that?

Silver_R33
11-15-2001, 01:57 AM
Oops!

OK shell, black mountain!

Tommy whiteR33
11-15-2001, 02:02 AM
OK, so Black Mountain it is. Does obakemono know where it is? I guess it's not that hard to find :)

Shell
11-15-2001, 02:19 AM
Sorry Silver_R33!! - think we replied at the same time!!

Museum's a good idea, but I just thought Black Mtn might be easier for obakemono to find? :) That's if he's online here in Canb and even gets to read this hehe

OK, well I'll be there then!
byeeeeeeeee

Jay95R33
11-15-2001, 03:31 AM

It would be funny if we all turn up and obakemono doesn't turn up seems he started the thread :)

Jay95R33
11-15-2001, 03:33 AM
Shell - if you read this in time... Do you want to meet up at the Servo (the one we left you at) and drive there in convoy???

vspec2
11-15-2001, 10:10 PM

Shell

vspec2
11-20-2001, 12:43 AM

Tommy whiteR33
11-20-2001, 01:03 AM
I’ll be away for the weekend as well but I could come on Friday
Shell: Could you bring one of those SDU stickers for next meeting? I think it will look good on a white skyline :)

Jay95R33
11-20-2001, 01:47 AM
Vsepc2 - Ahhhhh, she'll be right mate, you only need one bolt on the strut top anyway :D :D :D :D

Good to see it's nothing major

Shell
11-21-2001, 02:41 AM
Tommy, no probs, I'll bring u a sticker next time we meet up :)
