Do the rego stickers on NSW cars tell quiet a bit about where you're located?

By the rego sticker you can tell how stupid the person is that designed them :P

Q: How do you know if you're too drunk to drive? A: You swerve to miss a tree then realise it's the air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror.

And I'm bringing a friends car down this weekend due to him finishing a 12 hour shift at 7am that day.

Bad luck Thomas with the gearbox, see if you can come down with your old mans car and we'll start a wave in the crowd of plenty :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>


And if i wasn't working again that night, i would have taken some codral and soldiered on :lol:

Thanks again bro :D


Unlucky Tom, couldnt have come at a worse time really :(

I agree with what Marc is saying.....but i agree more with George - Surely the hosts could advertise a bit since it's really in their favour?

No limit did, and we had alot of people turn up! Maybe not to compete, but there were a few people buying things despite the crapty weather.

Same as Autobarn :)

Perhaps some of the CAA funding can go towards an ad or two in a few car mags???

Advertising in mags is REALLY dear!!!

It is a shame about the turn outs though. I understand that people have reasons for not going to the comps, but SO many people complained that they were no SQ comps, now there are comps to go to not many people show up.

Normally there are the same faces, which is a good thing. Ideally it would be great if every competitor brought a new person with them.

I am sure the stores advertise, but they do pay for the trophies, AND the cost of advertising it would be an expensive day.

Maybe CAA could charge people a yearly fee to join up, then there would be money for advertising........... just think of the complaints then!!!!! :D:D:D

There's a map attached...

The address is
Location: Doran Pro Audio
42 Canterbury Rd Bankstown 2200 NSW, (02) 9791 6311

Easy to find if you keep your eyes out...

I must say ANYONE who "open's" their car up should be covering their plates up and rego stickers, just to make sure... However, most of the criminal's out there nowadays are too stupid to know what is what :)
Hopefully E320Titanium rocks up so i can get a listen to his car ;)

hopefully it'll score ok for the comp. that's if i get a challenger...
looks like there's a bunch of easy trophies up for grabs to those who really are dedicated.

My apologies to all for not being able to make this event.

Before anyone complains, ICAHA and FHRX can both confirm that I was unquestionably going to attend this event.

Unfortunately, I was comong home late friday night, gotmyself into a split second microsleep, and hit my car into a concrete barrier on the M5.

There is no apparent major damage (thank god) aside from a little steering wheel shake while driving. Hopefully a wheel balance will fix this problem and there is no major underbody or suspension damage, but i don't want to drive the car outside my local area until I've had it check out.

I had every intention of competing in this event, despite my system not being correctly tuned etc, but unfortuantely for obvious reasons this wasnt possible.

I think I can safetly say that I can clear myself of the 'my cars not ready yet' excuse :)

Ah, ok.

I still reckon that with a bit of planning, you could build a competitive system for pro.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>


While im far from a pro, im skeptical of this.

Remember the whole purpose of 'pro class' is that the people that are competing have either sponsorship, or professional experience in the industry.

The top guys in these classes know car audio like the back of their hand, and know how to get the best out of components.

Yeh, a 5 grand system can outperform a 10 grand system if the latter is installed poorly.. but if that 1- grand system is installed just as well or better, then i wouldnt really give entry level stuff a good chance in comparison.
