C'mon! I had to move heaven and earth to get that w/end off. If this, the first Van Nats ever in W.A., turns out to be a giant flakefest, what hope is there? Like Twisted Sister once said:

RIDE TO LIVE. LIVE TO RIDE.

OK.  The sat day is the show n shine day April the 7th gates open at 6.30am  for oval entry.
If we went in as a group we would need to leave armadale NO LATER than 6;30am cost to park on oval is $10
per van once you are in  you cant leave till the show is over at  4pm. That price is not a judging price.

If anyone knows a sign writer who can do a bugger banner for us W.A mob then yell , that's only gonna happen if guys want to donate to it.


So its a done deal we will meet at maconalds car park in armadale between 6-6;30 on the Saturday LEAVING AT 6:30

Paul is finding out about the camping for those who want to stay sat night
 
Sunday there is a cruise and trophy's on Sunday night.

I'll be up for an early drive. Can just a few of us go down and reserve camping for everyone else (ie. the lazy slobs)?

Post by: Dano on March 27, 2012, 01:18:28 AM
It's showtime so i should have been up all weeeeekksss zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............preferably early for me, but hey come on guys one in a life time event and I would have thought we'd all be chomping at the bit AND going nuts building vans!

I'm trying I'm trying...

Post by: MaTTe on March 27, 2012, 01:36:48 AM
hahah Dano, i started to finish a job on my van i originally started 18months ago.. Theres plenty i'd like to do, including a bit of minor panelwork.. unfortunately the race cars get preference..

But hey, i'm not going to be judged (this year) so i figure imperfections are allowable.

I have a few things i should have been posting in the 'what have you been upto this week' thread for ages, and will endeavor to do so when slackness subsides ;)

Any decision on potential banners?

I'd like to commit to the 8am meet, but i struggle to make it to work in the morning when im getting paid to be there.. hahaha
At this stage i think we have the weekend free of racing which should give me my fill of van porn instead..

Any decision on potential banner

See if he can do this
(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x234/craigc327/BedT2.jpg)

ask him to change the web address and slip bedford user group aust W.A chapter on the bottom
if he could make it the size of 2 rear barn doors we could attach it to a beddy.

Craig, the bloke who does the signwriting is over east so organisation has been difficult, however from our discussions he has said this image is too low resolution to be able to blow up without it looking rubbish.

To have it look any good when printed the image will need to look atleast that good when zoomed into the image's end result size.
We either need someone with some skill to remake the image, or to find one that is a better option

Re: the banner  I could do it but I would need some help, first I would need the A4 poster then the banner, you could use a cheap blue plastic tarp which has eylets to tie it up then some oil based brush on paint as this should flex compared to waterbased paint that will crack we can only do this in the morning and you would have to come to me now are you up to it call me on 0428951620 as were running out of time
