Australia Day Weekend Meet N Greet

Well we had a great turn out on the weekend with a few newcomers and a couple of old members too. There was a mixture of WRX’s and even a Forester. After a bit of a chat at Supercheap, and handing out of a few flyers to passers by, 5 of us decided to head to Seaforth for a cruise. It was a bit of fun with some nice twisties along the way, and once we got there we stopped for another chat to end the day.

As the year is almost at an end and the groups activities have been dwindling off, I would like to know what everyone would like to do next year with the group. What sort of events would you like to see organised?

  • More cruises & to which different locations?
  • BBQ gatherings?
  • Other smaller events: which might include Bowling, Zone 3 (Laser fight), paintball, movies, tech days?
  • Trips away to things like the Australian Rally Championships, or the World Rally Championships (Perth)?
  • Test N Tune nights?

Go to the forum and post up your replies.

At the last Meet N Greet on the 26th August, it was decided that we should go on a cruise up to Eungella and stop off at the Eungella Chalet at the end. From there we grabbed a few drinks/food. After the Chalet we headed up to broken river and beyond to the new section of bitumen road for some really fun twisting roads. I was impressed, it was a really good run.
A few of the new stickers were handed out, and a few orders were made for new ones.

New 2008 WRX is here @ Subaru North Jacklin Mackay!!

Well I decided to drop into Subaru today, and I discovered the brand new 2008 WRX parked up on display at Subaru North Jacklin. It arrived in there show room just yesterday afternoon at 5pm. Here are some pictures I took:

2008 WRX Gallery

I noticed a few nice things in the interior, the keypad is in the fuse box now, there are a couple of alarm sensors on the a-pillars (we think – the manuals havent arrived yet), the top mount intercooler is a lot smaller but more square in shape, there are now buttons on the steering wheel for the stereo etc, the seats are very comfortable, there is a lot more leg room in the back seats, when the car is turned on, the dash lights are now red (like the STi) and the tacho and speedo etc flick to the right and back again during the initialisation (also like the STi). Its very different in body shape thats for sure, being a hatch. The sedan will be out in about a year and a half.

The 24th June meet up went well, madmike, whitenoisewrx and myself turned up and we discussed different designs of stickers and getting them made up at Mackay Stickers & Signs. We also talked about an upcoming caliper painting day, I’m thinking maybe a bbq round at my house also.
