where'd that info come from ??
it is all there in the links now. I didn't even get "look in here eediott" reply
Too late...30 May cut off date for the $25 paypal paid entry fee for show n shine.
Vortex stays locked away in storage then
I got a reply from the WRX club, they said no problem and they'll see me there.
I just checked and the paypal and registration links still work.........So I guess I'll be seeing the Vortex there too!?

I should take my 1974 4 door sedan:
So, Mr Sublime shall you be joining us at Subinats in either your wagon or DL sedan?????

Unfortunately I will not be able to make it... Brakes are shot in the DL and well, I have been too lazy to swap them over to the discs...

I'll put up some pics during the week when I have a computer, not so easy on my phone....
I forgot to mention ImprzeaSRX's 82 MY hardtop, it looked tough as dropped and wearing 15" Sunnies

It was a great day out.. With myself, willy and steptoe representing old school subes everywhere!
Well done to Steptoe for taking out the category, your vortex is very tidy..
For some reason, I can attach the image, but you'll have to click the link!!

Schucks, thanks guys. Anyone could do it, just buy a car now, put it away for 27 years and bring it out

My show'n'shine prep did not include a vacuum - bloody grass on the floor inside too - still pulled a really decent trophy (must credit NSW WRX club for not scrimping on throphy budget!) and prize packs of Meguiars products, accepted in my absence by the happy fellas from Shannons Insurance.
It really helps putting a name to a username and the cars - by face to face meeting. Also have this slightly biased thought that the old Subes got the most attention and not necessarily the big dollar later day EJ models - bit of a history lesson for many
When you think about it - Willys represented the mid 70's, SRX - the early 80's and the Vort - a model later that sort of displayed how EJ's morphed from EA era with the AWD box, turbo and bonnet vent. A lifted L Series with a bit of mud from someone next year ??
Got the details of the XV carwash ad, and details of slight drama during production. Location of ad for the dirt scenes - Lake Bathurst - just down the road from Wakefield Park !
If they introduce a Brumby class next year I'll be in it. Where were all the Brumbies ??
Some great track action was to be seen also, let's not forget !
