As BlueXR6Turbo said, it was good to meet some people and even thou there was only 3 cars there we still had a good talk about our cars, the dealer, the deals we got and what we do…...oh and we found out who fluffy was too!

So let’s get this thing going and put Adelaide’s XR6T's on the map, if any one has suggestions on what to do and when for the next meeting please put a post here.

From last nights meet it was discovered that people who have XR6T’s are from all different backgrounds and age groups.

Some of the events we should look at are:

1 Movies

2 Car shows

3 Motor events

4 Diners and lunches

5 Cruises

6 Day trips eg. Monarto Zoo

7 Weekend trips eg. Burra, Clare or the Yorke Peninsula

8 Information nights

A thing to remember before you can these ideas a car club is a social get together that has to cater to a broad range of people and activities, not just car type events but events that you can do in your car (yes I know there are some other things you can do in a car but we may get into trouble with that).

One problem you can have with some car clubs is that a hand full of people do all the work will the others sit back and criticize and whine about what should have been done…..so lets all have a think and if someone has an idea post it and see what response you get.

The last thing is lets not call it a car club but a social group of people who have the same interest and with people you don’t see every day……..just the occasional get together for males and females…...more like a once a quick drink at the your local watering hole were you catch up with old friends you have not seen for a while.

Just home from mate's b'day party @ 2:20am. Highly unlikely to make it to pre-noon get together @ Vic park.

Might go over to Birdwood for the afternoon thingy's.

These ideas all sound good to me. The weekend trips would probably be too much of a financial strain on me at the moment unless we found some cheap accomodation.

I love the movies & have a card to get into Greater Union Arndale or City for $8.50ea for 4 people. I realise that we'd probably want more than 4 people, but every little saving helps.

This Sunday night the movie theatres are having movie marathons, so this could be a good get-together too. You have to be a real night person to go to these as they don't finish until around 5am.

I've got a few friends & relatives that are into cars and often find out about cruises, so I'll keep my ears open for any that we could join in on.

P.S.

olcoolone & zeke may know who Fluffy is, but I've actually seen Fluffy! :lol:

I cruise everyday down west tce and Halifax st, see about 2 a week only.

Saw a phantom GT at stillwell yesterday, t looks better, they recon 4 month wait to get one. wow

[olcoolone]

Just a reminder:-

There is also a cruise on Saturday the 11th of October at unfortunatly and ...yep you were close 8.30pm starting at Kmart Ingle Farm for all forced induction cars and oh yeah XR6T's aswell.

Sorry vik351 if is to late for you, not my dicision mate.

There is a cafe there so if people want to get there early for tea post it on this forum and we may all have something to eat together.

Not to sure if we all meet somewhere else first close by and go in as a group as it may be hard to all park together.

If anyone is going please post it here and wives, girlfriends and mates are welcome to.

I think from the last one there was alot of cars there.

[olcoolone]

Just of topic, has anyone had there windows tinted and wit what film, has radio reception changed.

[Guest]

olcoolon ,Read my post, you stuffed my radio (window tinting)

Who does the freeway,Heysen tunnels etc and has tinted windows?

How does your AM reception work in the hills?

Had my T 7 months AM 5aa worked fine,in hills, through Heysen tunnels etc but now droppes out something shocking.

Finish Line Norwood did mine, said know all about the back window story.

I will go there tuesday and get it sorted.

[olcoolone]

We are going to get Finnishline to do ours aswell as we supply them products we manufactor, they mentioned they have done some BA's before and did have a problem with them and not to use a full metal film.

I think this may of court out alot of window tinterd in the last 12 months and it only seems like it affects AM radio.

More people listern to FM or CD's then AM and it may of taken a while to find this problem but we are like you , we listern to 5AA aswell along with Triple J and I think I would miss 5AA if we could not get it in the car.

Holdens talked about going the same way as Ford with glass mount antenna's but have pulled the plug (pardon the pun) on it and will proberly stick to conventional antenna's.
