IS MY CAR ELIGABLE

This is a hard one really. Basically, if its an exotic car (Lotus, Ferrari, Mercedes etc), muscle car (Mustang, GTO, Falcon, Camraro etc), classic car (Jaguar, Mini, Austin etc), hot rod or modified car then you'll be right. That includes FPV and HSV vehicles, all Mercs, Jags, higher specced BMW's and so on. If you've got a Suzuki Swift, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Accent etc with aftermarket wheels or anything else not factory/rare then its eligable too. And of course any Japanese sports car (Skylines, RX-7's, GTO's etc) is allowed, some even if they aren't modded.

I should turn up depending on work and shizz

$20 going your way if i do or dont anyway

[SkylineObsession]

Sweet as. I'm donating $20 too. 8)

We will be sorting a way for people to pay money but not come along, one of the committee members is talking to his contacts at Westpac. A lady from work said she and her husband can't bring their twin turbo 300ZX along, but will donate money. And my uncles sister and a few others are doing the same.

So yeah, spread the word all!

[SkylineObsession]

Need to raise another $400 or so because DCC have now decided we need a TMP (Traffic Management Plan), which costs $150 for the volunteers (going through Event Traffic Management Otago Ltd) and $80-$??? for the compulsary two ads in the ODT.

AND WE NEED VOLUNTEERS ON THE DAY!!! This could turn into a complete shambles without enough people helping out!

[SkylineObsession]

Have included bank account details at start of first post, if you know you can't make it on the day.

[SkylineObsession]
