Nice pics mate, do you have any more?

Was their anyone representing our club or anything at the nats? Maybe we should organise to go up as a group one year (and maybe enter a car or two)...

EFFalcon · 10-01-2005, 07:00 PM

Very cool pics

now if only there was a non-V8 non-XR to suprise some ppl :P

Supa R00 · 10-01-2005, 07:01 PM

I got over 80 pics... few more of the previous cars but thats it for the e series... i got everything from XP coupes, XR/XT/XW/XY/XA/XB GT's, Typhoon, XA Coupes, ESP's,T-Series, Corty's, Heaps of Muzzys and everything else in between!

ilsautomotive · 10-01-2005, 07:03 PM

Cheers for the pics mate, looking great. I recognise the first ED but none of the others.

It would be nice to have a Club display at an event like this some day.

Supa R00 · 10-01-2005, 07:06 PM

Ohhh yeh and a few commos from the burnout comp getting towed away!!! Hehehe... A VK 5L blew its radiator, V6 VP caught on fire and a 5L Statesman drove off with a verry noisy conrod "death rattle" after it got so tired and hot it couldnt get em spinning anymore......hehehe rofl:P

Supa R00 · 10-01-2005, 07:07 PM

Yeh i got some pics of Titties! hehe my voice is still recovering from screaming... "TITS OR RUBBER... ONE OR THE OTHER!!!" u gotta experience summernats at least once!

Kenaz · 10-01-2005, 07:10 PM

I particularly like the second ED XR8 pic. Those rims look hot as on it!

Supa R00 · 10-01-2005, 07:14 PM

Yeh that car's owner is actually Xr8chic from the old forums, had a quick chat to her. they are Speedy rims

Kenaz · 10-01-2005, 07:19 PM

She should've taken the engine cover off. See the Windsor in all it's glory.

Paris Hilton · 10-01-2005, 07:41 PM

And for the holden side of things...

lv619 · 10-01-2005, 07:52 PM

love the veneitians... hahaha

sheppy · 10-01-2005, 08:07 PM

Interesting indicators on that 351W XR8!

klawsterfobik · 10-01-2005, 08:10 PM

That VN is PIMP-tastic™. The lowrider theme is sexy as, i wonder if they've done the interior too!

... you cant say that and then not post! or arent you allowed to? public forum and all

galaxy xr8 · 10-01-2005, 08:22 PM

What on earth is that on the bonnet of that VN ?.

xdc351 · 10-01-2005, 08:25 PM

No doubt the bloke in the first pic hanging a burnout was ejected from the event.

Nice pics, the 351W is a great concept.

Supa R00 · 10-01-2005, 09:11 PM

Im not sure whether it was a 351 but i have reason to beleive it could be, EFi 351 Windsors u can get out of F100's and ambulances... its a possibility

INJECTED_250 · 10-01-2005, 09:58 PM

that vn looks good in a strange kinda way

Kryton · 10-01-2005, 10:05 PM

ok whats up with the first pic? the gap between the bonnet and the grill is HUGE. doesnt look like the bonnets open at all either.

ilsautomotive · 10-01-2005, 10:14 PM

I assumed the bonnet wasn't closed properly. The driver doesn't seem terribly safety-focused.

on a second closer look the corner of the bonnet looks like it is sitting higher than the corner of the guard so it probably isnt shut properly.
what a noob for doing a patch so close to people!!

montyv8 · 11-01-2005, 04:19 AM

I guess those of you commenting on the guy going sideways in the crowd haven't attended the Nats before. its a bit of a regular occurrence. it is severely frowned upon, but theres a few idiots that persist.
We (Barry_v and me) have just got back to adelaide from the nats. It was Barry's first time there, and my second. left canberra at around 8.30am, arrived home at 11pm. we took Barry's DC LTD over, was an excellent ride. Thats a fine cruiser he's got there. I got approx 150 pics, and video of the cruising, show and shine, supercruise, stunts, the band, and of course, the strippers. will post some up tomorrow when i manage to wake up.

OK first of all this is the summernats... all the time people are doing straps and if u aint been there dont critise! the crowd pleads with drivers to lay rubber and on many occasions they are smoking the rear wheels less than a foot away from your legs. If he gets crossed up u get uot of the way, its the best fun and the atmosphere of the crowd is just undescriable!!! U r a legend if u bag em up... not a "noob" lol what a joke, sure it aint the safest practise but this is the summernats! cmon people! U'll see what its like if u ever go!!!

The reason why is bonnet was slightly open is because of the heat, the cars are only crawling around the track, doing the occasional burnout so they get very hot!!! the bonnet is only unclipped... not open to help get some air out, its a common practise and im sure it helps a bit as more often than not u see cars spitting out theyre coolant from underneath because they are so hot.

Like i said u gotta be there to see it...

**Polyal** · 11-01-2005, 01:15 PM

ok that first ED XR8...are they just skirts on a stock bumper?

It looks nice...hmm..can someone explain? Is it just the tickford bodykit add-on? And more importantly where can I get it?

TURBO_GHIA · 11-01-2005, 03:56 PM

here are mine

LUXO_8 · 11-01-2005, 08:15 PM

the 351 ED XR has clear repeaters, but on closer inspection there clear normal repeaters.

wonder who made them, they look better than having AU ones on the car IMO

LUXO_8 · 11-01-2005, 08:18 PM

polyal, thats the ED "sprint" kit afaik.

as oposed to the XR8 sprint front bar

ford sure were confusing in those days......2 kits called sprint..hmm clever

TUFED6 · 11-01-2005, 09:34 PM

So, does that twin blown hemi mustang sound as tough as it looks?
