Now this event has been called off due to the rain and soggy track, it will now be on April 9th.

thats not very nice sax.... I was thinking of entering my cabriolet in the glow off as it is fitted with undercarriage neons , LED washer nozzles and new neon valve caps that light up when wheel is rotating . sorry you feel this way , as I see it as just another FUN way to show off you car !! If you attend , I hope you enjoy the show and appreciate the effort others go to , to show off their cars for you .:beer

I was directing my ridicule at the plastic cars that have the neons, you know the type that you see around bankstown.

On a dub anything is acceptable.

Thought neons were illegal anyway

Seriously though, once upon a time we went to car (and bike) shows to see
the engineering and painting excellence, not to see how many decibels and candlepower can be squeezed out of a car.

I meant no disrespect to the true car lovers.

im with you sax, its rediculous ,more lights than a christmas tree:puke
i think neons are only illegal whilst driving along


hypo-vw - March 9th, 2005 at 07:02 AM

it is true that it is not illegal to fit neons and other coloured lights to your car and the RTA & POLICE cannot defect you for doing this , however , it is illegal to have them turned on whilst driving on a public road and if caught heavy fines are in place . I speak from experience as I was pulled over and fined $79.00 just 5 weeks ago ( by a young arragant moron) whilst cruising with the wife and kids in the cabrio . I had the neons turned off , no neon valve caps fitted , just the 2 green LED washer nozzles .(which I couldn't turn off as they were hard-wired to the parklamp system ) this has now been changed .:tree

I have to AGREE with you there ..... its HI teck to fit a alloy fuel cover sticker on your car .... :puke:puke



I will be attending and displaying my 65 Sea Blue.... and watching the Drags of course.

Wayne, I can clearly see how awful those small green lights
must be to oncoming drivers.:sandrine
It must have been terrifying to the Cop.! I'm sure glad
he was out looking for this Terrible Crime and not
policing the trouble spots where all the Real Hooligans
go.
* Really what is so wrong with a couple of coloured
lights? I guess if the car is covered with coloured lights that it
may be difficult to see Indicators etc. But as for lights under the car glowing on the ground - what danger is this?
(OK , some think it is wanky but I saw this hot rod last
year with glowing Red underneath and it looked Awesome)


OvalGlen - March 13th, 2005 at 07:52 PM

Oh sorry - " Off Topic" oh yes I will be going to the drags
Unfortunetly only to watch.
Hope lots of VW's make it, I wonder what Trent is up to?


Menangler - March 14th, 2005 at 09:02 AM
