I see the sprinter YES-20V around the Braddon area quite a bit, only once though was I in my car when I saw it.
I saw the aftermath of a multi car pile up last night, 4 cars all busted  Got to love the tailgating, lack of anticipation and poor reaction time of you typical Canberra motorist

hmmm interesting, any details?

"South Coast Nationals" 27th and 28th of August
Venue: Moruya Speedway (not the old Airport venue, but it's close to that)
Events: Show and shine, burnouts (this should pull the bogan crowds ), go-to-whoa, motorkhana, bike show, truck show etc etc.
It runs 9-5 both days.
Usually pretty good, fairly relaxed sort of event.

He saw me with my pee shooter exhaust on  . I was on my way to get rego'd at the time
Also, saw a nice MZ20/21 Soarer driving in to tuggers on Wednesday I think, looked like an older driver. Looked sweet, Chrome rims and appeared to have a few stickers.

Oooo, should sound sweet. I installed my boost controller on sunday, took my pee shooter off, man she sounds like a beast!! I love it! Oddly enough it only sounds a touch louder than my old muffler. I guess it really was doing bugger all to 'muffle'. Oh well, time for a new one. When finances permit

^^ Larfing my voluptuous tiities off!!
Nup, I don't work in the auto industry unfortunately. Why do u ask?? I work in the 'I'm gonna pay you to let me work my arse off, so I get a piece of paper in a few years that may or may not make me more employable' industry... aka uni And when I'm not there, I fix gym equipment.
BTW, this morning on Ipswich st I saw a shiny light green TA22 going 'bwaaaaah', and this arvo there was a tidy white RA28 out the front of my house (CuRtana's).
