sco_aus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey guys, Shannons Show and Shine on the lawns of Old Parliament House is coming up on Sunday 22nd March 2009. Was wondering if anyone is interested in going? It is similar to Marque in the Park, however it usually draws a bigger crowd and hopefully wont be freezing this time.. I finish work at 7am that morning and will come along, but if there are enough numbers, could someone else please organise it? Put your name in the list below if you want to come: sco_aus - Scott, 260Z 2 seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sco_aus Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, there has been a recent ban as of Dec 08 on any car displays using grassed areas in the ACT because apparently its too hard to keep up with maintanance and that the car clubs should use car park areas instead. This means to get a grassed area, we have to hire out EPIC or go to Queanbeyan or Goulbourn. Maybe the Queanbeyan Race course is a better place, then at least the ACT doesnt make any revenue from it and they can stick up their arse for being such snobby wankers? I will keep everyone informed if I hear anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Zero Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 It's all good man, they've reached an agreement so that it can happen this year. http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Dave Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I hate Canberra. "Oh oh lookie here, there is something that makes us lots of money and brings people to Canberra. Oh but because it contains cars lets ban it and put a photo exebition on instead of male ballet dancers in tight leotards so we can actually look at them and not be called gay like we actually are. No one else will come eather so we can all bat each other off." I'm glad i live in the Town of Tuggeranong. Might still be in ACT but there is a gap and hills between south Canberra and Tuggeranong.

Dingo Dave Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 would love to come but i recon people would laugh at the pulsar. 260 still a bit off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorifticon Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can I throw in a tenative? What is required in terms of registering etc? Edit: I have a 260z 2-seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco_aus Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well, you have just tentative registered. Thats all you need to do, then since Miika is organising it, he will pass on numbers to the organisers and they will do the rest. If we dont get all the numbers we wanted, it doesnt matter.

chris240 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Im a 50% chance.. This is actually my favourite car display of the year..Its definetely on, spoke to Roy at Shannons in Fyshwick last week. The minister stepped in to allow the display to go on. Hey Dorifticon, are you in Canberra ? ....Hey Angelus, Dingo Dave sounds much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surly_Z Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hey Dorifticon, yours insn't a metalic red one is it? I vaguely remember a project thread somewhere of a 260z in canberra (not on this site, somewhere else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizm0zed Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 here is the blow-by-blow account of the long-running battle to turn my 260z into a daily driver. Dunno if the rust repairs will be as professional as yours, since we are basically a couple of douchebags in a shed with a welder, but the painting itself was done by a pro. Andrew http://ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=9696&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Andrew%27s&start=105 taken from the last page of the spotto thread. btw, i'll be wandering around, no car as such though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surly_Z Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ah! That's where I saw it! Nice colour. It'd be great to see her at the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Zero Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi guys, I've emailed them and told them we'd like to register for the event. They sent me back a form saying what's going to happen on the day. It seems to work a lot like Marques in the Park did, just turn up on time and find out where you'll be setting up and then park and enjoy. I think we should turn up early, so about 7am. Map of the area after the jump. http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/download.cfm?DownloadFile=71A10EF3-C928-E700-CFD12B563923B914 I think it's all going to be set out like last year so head to section A. Remember this is a charity event so remember to bring some money to donate. Money is going to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The Council of ACT Motor Clubs is also selling 'wheel' badges for $8 each, if you want some let me know and I can pre-order them. You can see some examples at the bottom of this page - http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-2008 Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Shannons Wheels Motoring Expo 22thMarch 2009 Lawns of Old Parliament House, Canberra ACT The following information is for members, entrants, store holders, vendors and marshals.

Surly_Z Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Unfortunately I cannot make the show this weekend, I have a very sick family member in Moss Vale and it may be the last chance i get to visit her. Take plenty of pictures though, and I'm super keen to see Dorifticon's red 260Z, as well as Scott's new paint job! We should maybe meet for a small cruise on a month or so?

sco_aus Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thats sucks dude. Hope it turns out well mate. Shame you are going to miss out, but it will be on next year etc, so no big rush and i'm all for going for another cruise. I "detailed" the car today, I am a spastic and dont understand paint though, so i have decided to leave the sanding and cutting/polishing etc to someone that gets it and has patients.

dorifticon Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm still down, I promised my gf that there would be other s30's there, though, so don't let me down, ACT! That reminds me, better give the old girl a wash/wax/vaccuum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Zero Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 We'll miss you on the day Josh, but I hope you get some quality time with your family. dorifticon I'll pm you my number. Just want to confirm who is going, so far it's: sco_aus, Cdr Zero, dorifticon, Chris240 (50% chance) Chris do you know if you can make it? Does anyone else want to come? It's a really fantastic day with many many great cars. It'd be an awesome day to fly the Z flag high. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
