OZVR4 Victorian "Wash Meet", January 2008

[BuzzPuppy]

G'day Everyone,

We have a lil' idea to get the legnums/galants together. Once every two weeks or so, there is an informal get-together at the local car wash to catch up, meet some new faces and heck, allows people who are thinking of buying these gorgeous rides a chance to see what they're like.

If we're up for it, we even take the curious out for a spin!

So why the car wash?

Well, Australia is one of the driest continents on Earth, and across the board we have water restrictions of some sort. Victoria, the state in the south-east, has "Stage 3A" (the lightest being Stage 1, so it's pretty interesting) restrictions which means we can only wash cars in commercial car washes like these or by a business.

Also, it's a great excuse to get pizza delivered to strange addresses :)

Here's a transcript of what goes on... (copied and pasted from the forums)

0:00 -Steve's (snickells) Legnum
0:08 -Jame's (JETVR4) Legnum
0:13 -Steve's reflection (note: James' sticker says "DEFECT ME" in Japanese)
0:26 -Nick's "Mr Plow", firing up the engine right on cue!
0:47 -James chatting to Tristian (cittris)
0:53 -Tristian's Sprintex-supercharged VR-X Magna
1:00 -Van with his eloquent speech and words of encouragement

"Ahhh, no... NO! Bugger off!"

1:06 -Stu's (AcidFiend) Legnum, with Stu standing beside it
1:19 -Bryan (kiwibstokes)
1:20 -Gavin (BuzzPuppy)

"Hey hey! I thought this was family-orientated? You're not allowed to tape car porn like this." with beer in hand. As usual.

1:35 -Bryan's Legnum... a closer look reveals the damage done during the break-in and ham-fisted handling by the police and tow truck operators
1:57 -Gavin's Legnum
2:15 -Nick and his Legnum again.

"C'mon Nick, any words for 2008?"

*thoughtful pause*

"Nah"

Heheh yeah, it's my pride and joy. I've noticed how many times the video has been viewed on YouTube has jumped a bit. I'm the one with the beer in my hand. As usual :)

Sums up most Aussies in general really ;)

We shot a new video last night. There were 14 VR-4s in attendance and a few onlookers/interested people. 13 Legnums and a single drop-dead gorgeous trigger-mauve Galant. Should be up soon :)
