Is there any toowoomba members?

[bentattoo]

I see some great magna's around in toowoomba and was thinking if some of them were members, it would be good to know and catch up.:)

[Trido]

Hi. I just joined up and just got a Magna and I live in Toowoomba. Apparently, there isn't many of us. :)

[bentattoo]

what part of toowoomba are you from?

[Trido]

what part of toowoomba are you from?

Over near the Uni.

[bentattoo]

I am not far from there, near the schools on south street. should catch up some time.

[Trido]

Yeah, for sure.

[bentattoo]

I was thinking of going out for a drive tonight or Thursday night up for it trido ?

[Shamous69]

i'm another toowoomba member.. live near harristown also lol

[bentattoo]

we should get all the toowoomba members to catch up some time? :D
just for fun and a chat because one of us mite be able to help the other
one out. There is a lot of people in this town that are full of s**t and
don't know what they are doing when it come to magnas!!! They just want your $$$.
If one of us has had a bad run with a place we can let the others know.

.:think: JUST A IDEAR.:think:

[mcs_xi]

Im a Toowoomba Member too. More than a couple of us then :D Good to know!

[Shamous69]

yeah im keen. we should organise a day. i only get saturdays off work tho.

[bentattoo]

On saturdays i finish work at about 4:00 - 5:00 so after that i'am most of the time free.
How about all you other toowoomba members out there???:2cool:
It could be fun.:D

[ShiVrx]

hey guys!

I am hopefully moving to dalby for a new job around mid december, i know i have to pass through towoomba to get there, whats the drive like? anyone reckon its safe to take my lowered mag out there?? (my parents tell me the roads arent that flash). and how often do you guys meet? i owuld be keen to make some friends out that way, cause i will be on my lonesome :(. Any help advice/ friends would be aprpreciated :D.

Shibbs

[bentattoo]

No meating up yet but i'am hopeful that i will happen.
The road out there is not so bad you should be fine (How low is your car?)
It's only about fifty min to 1 hour drive from toowoomba just take
it ezy the first time to be safe.
Mite see you around.
I have a black TL VR-X if you see me say hi.:D

[JBMMY]

Im now living closer to Toowoomba than Brisbane...if u young uns dont mind hanging out with an old hag, id be up for a cruise

[bentattoo]

It seams hard to get people to be up for it.:rant:

shamous69 and me are keen for it to happen.

[JBMMY]

Im up for it and i work for myself so getting time off isnt a problem......

[bentattoo]

Were did you move from and were are you now?:)

[JBMMY]

I moved from Brisbane because the rent went up a ridiculous amount for the shoebox i was renting, im now at Forest Hill on 3 acres (near Laidley)

[bentattoo]

I moved up to Toowoomba from Byron Bay about 3 1/2 years ago
for the same thing with the rent and a better job so win win for me.

[Trido]

I'm up for it too. I forgot about this thread. :)

[bentattoo]

Can we get some more toowoomba members at the
murwillubah cruz?
I'am going and was seeing if there is some of us that
are makeing the trip.:D

[JBMMY]

I cant make the cruise south, as im still in the process of unpacking, i wish it would unpack itself...but will definately be up for a local cruise if we can get something organised.

[brett stiles]

Can't say i blame you but i went 2 years ago and had a ball. With a bit of luck the weather will be fine all weekend, hope to get there again next year as we are visiting family in lismore for the long weekend so we hade to miss this years.......cheers brett:D :D

[Blue Platinum]

Hey guys i'm always passing through Toowoomba when i go out to my grandparents farm, the other side of Pitsworth. Cheers Ash:)

[mcs_xi]

Hey Brett,
Nice Ralliart. Ive seen it getting about the place and love the wheels. The are quite classy. Looks like the car was a tidy example too. Its a pity the toowoomba roads are so bad that in most cases having a car that low would be like driving to work on a jackhammer. Anyway brilliant car mate.

[brett stiles]

Hi mcs xi thanks for the kind words. Yeah im really happy with the wheels most people seem to like them. The best part about them is they are available in 3 different offsets so i could get the wheels to sit were i wanted them to be to avoid scrubbing on the flares with the s/lows. They are also designed to clear big brakes for when i go to brembos:D I was told that they are one of the lightest 20 inch wheels on the market at around 12-13 kg opposed to around 19-20 kg for my last set which makes a huge differance as there is none of the tracking- darting around under hard acceleration.Yep i was fairly lucky to pick this ralliart up, its only done 13,000km and best of all its a manual. As far as the roads go yeah they do suck but after visiting the olds in lismore over easter the roads around here are like driving on autobarns in comparison. Anyway thanks again for the kind words and if you see me around wave me over so we can meet in person.........cheers brett:D

[brett stiles]

Hi boys and girls. If there are any toowoomba members knocking around tomorrow ( saturday the 19th ) and you happen to be looking for something to do, Pop down to hfm autostyling and custom paint in bowen street for a look at the new shop. Its like a grand opening sale and There are going to be plenty of hottie cars and lots of top deals on sound gear, bodykits ,and resprays, wheel and tyre packages. There are going to be heaps of giveaways and the like, Well worth a look, Hope to see ya there, kicks off around 9.00 oclock...........cheers brett:D

[mcs_xi]

Sorry Brett,
I actually drove past this and didn't realise it was on until i was this afterwards! ****!

[brett stiles]

Sorry Brett,
I actually drove past this and didn't realise it was on until i was this afterwards! ****!
No problem michael pop in anytime for a look and a chat .......cheers brett

[brett stiles]

[mcs_xi]

Good Luck!

dont bend itlol.

[brett stiles]

Good Luck!

dont bend itlol.
Thanks mate, I will do my best not to.........:D

[brett stiles]

Hi all , Well the results from last night are in. I got 5 passes in, my first pass was a 15.6 @ 93mph:nuts: Due to me useing to many revs and spinning the tyres up. The next 4 runs were 14.863 @95.10, 14.778 @93.48mph, 14.764@95.97mph ,and my lucky last run was my pb of 14.601@95.56. Over all im really happy with the results. The highlight of the night was on my 3 pass i lined up next to a Blue vz commodore 5.7l gen3 auto. Thinking it was just a 3.6l v6 due to the car being a standard looking base model and not pulling a burnout i thought i should smoke this guy, But to my surprise it was neck and neck to the end of the track this was the result, Me 14.778@93.48. His time was 14.939@95.00.:shock: Yep me the winner. So i felt fairly proud of the old girl now its time to start the mods....cheers brett

[mcs_xi]

Thats awsome! but seriously, "old girl"? the thing has barley been run in! It is brilliant that it beat a gen3, providing endless scope for me with one of the guys from worklol.

[bentattoo]

Thats great brett.Its good to see a magna on the track.
I came in to say hi on wednesday to wish you good luck but you were
not there.
Next time you go down i hope to see you there because my boss
has a 408 cube n/a XK ford ute that runs 9s and i go down to help
when he runs it and its always a great time there.:D

[mcs_xi]

I thought I may bring this back from the depths :)

Perhaps we should organize a mini-local-gathering-thing of sorts in the Toowoomba area if there is enough interest.

Michael

[SuperMonkeyKing]

I'm from toowoomba too only on my L's tho...

[Slick]

Bump bump, anyone in Dalby? Bout an hour from Toowoomba, I'm not all that far from there..

[mcs_xi]

Bump bump, anyone in Dalby? Bout an hour from Toowoomba

Mate, it seems this part of QLD is devoid of any one who will own anything other than a Hi/Lo-lux or a Commodore variant. Ahh well, we cant win them all.

[grelise]

Very soon I'll be in Oakey for 9-10 months.

[mcs_xi]

I would guessitmate, that your Verada will be the BEST one down there in Oakey. If keen for a meetup, drop us a line.

Michael

[grelise]

I be down either July or September, and will be keen to meet up.:beer:

Yeah mate, i am in Dalby, Silver VRX with gunmetal 18's chrome lip. i'm always out, what do you drive? cause i have seen a red vrx with ralliart wing and a green one and another blue one. seems like alot of VRX's in the one area.

PM me or reply here.

Shibbs

[mcs_xi]

I'm in toowoomba. So I was just doing a bit of generalization! I drive a pewter KH Verada Xi. But this is in Twmba. So I'll keep an eye out if I catch you up here :)

[bentattoo]

Who is up for a local Toowoomba meet up if there is enough interest?
Mabe over the next few weeks?

[Boozer]

I drove through Toowoomba in Feb this year on my way to and from Burrum Heads, the roads were alright... I like that steeeeeeeep hill decent and climb to and from Toowoomba... I don't think I got spotted or spotted any members in the area though.

[bentattoo]

I think there is about 5 to 10 of us.

[Boozer]

ahh well... next time I'll let you guys know i'm coming through... my trip up to Burrum Heads was a spur of the moment thing to surprise the rest of my family whilst they were already up there, and my way back was a rush back to pick them up from Melbourne airport when they returned....

[mcs_xi]

Im in :)

[Slick]

I probably won't be able to make this as I can't get my P's for another month or so. More tbar meets would be awsome tho ;)

[SuperMonkeyKing]

I'm up for something

btw I saw a black 3rd gen with verada tail lights and black mags+red calipers anyone here?

[mcs_xi]

Thats a TJ Ltd Ed VRX. I know the guy, but he isnt a member. Its an AWSOME car!

[grelise]

[bentattoo]

[mcs_xi]

Say, Wednesday? to avoid Thursday night trading? Also, our friends, the Polizia tend to be out in force on thurs. Im not saying we will be doing anything to attract attention, but they pull everyone over from what I hear because they are bored probably LOL.

[bentattoo]

Hey People.
We will have to set up a meet for all of us. People that are from toowoomba and all the places around it.
But make it work in with people that have to have plenty of notice.
I have a head cool :tired:so thats why i wasn't there on thursday night.:redface:
But if we try to work it in with all that want to go
i think that we can get a good thing happing.
Mabe if we give it 3 weeks to a mounths notice befor the meet it could be a great one.
What do you think?

[mcs_xi]

Yes!!! Ill be in. Unfortunately, I wanted to go, but other things popped up before hand :cry: However, with enough notice, I will be in definately.

As opposed to the last one I attended, (where it was a typical Toowoomba -768 Deg C) perhaps this one could be in the day when it is warm hahaha.

[bentattoo]

You cant say that at 2 in the morring in the Micky D's car park is going to be worm?:nuts::happy:

What did you have in mind?

[grelise]

I still dont know toowoomba all that well yet, so you guys pick a place and time.

[Oxidious]

Hey guys,

I'm a new member here but live in Toowoomba, infact, just around the corner from Brett - see his white magna all the time.

I drive a Green 97 TF Concept

Anyway, if any of you need a computer or wanna chat come down to The Computer Market on Anzac ave on the weekend and mention you're a member here.

Cheers,

Be keen to organize a cruise sometime if anyone's interested.

[grelise]

So, anyone up for a meet this thurs night?

Nope not me. I was in Torrington today at around 4 and saw a champaine coloured TL, std height with 18's on Molloy st. He took a good look at me when I was doing a U Bolt

[bentattoo]

How about a meet up next Thursday night so that everyone has a week's notice?
Thought we could meet at the roof top carpark at grand central- in the back right corner (when you drive in from Clifford street/ cinema entrance) about 7:30-8?
