PHOTOSHOOT CRUISE - Friday Night Cruise - 2nd November
Friday morning rolled around. It was drizzling, overcast and really not looking good for a night out for photographing cars! However, luck appeared to be on our side and the weather cleared up. Meeting at 7pm for a 7:30pm departure to our destination (yes, meeting earlier than normal, Brendan!) we started cruising. Clarence, the photographer, had given us rough directions on where we needed to head in Dandenong South in an industrial estate. We all made it there, although there were a few different routes taken. Lesson learned for Tim's cruise planning!
I think everyone agreed the photos taken by TANGCLA Photography were fairly impressive. What we thought were going to be pitch black photos came out with popping colours and clear lines.

HAPPY DAYS DONUTS - Sunday Cruise - 25th November
DONUTS! How can you go wrong? We thought we'd try out the newest eatery in Croydon - Happy Days Donuts. These guys opened at the beginning of November and offer a huge range of donuts of all sorts.
A decent turnout meant we had some awesome cars cruising and it also meant we put the new shop through their paces, having almost sold them out by the time we were done!
DYNO DAY @ Dave's Workshop, Bayswater - 1st December
Everyone loves a chance to strut their stuff on the dyno and prove what their car is really made of. Saturday 1st December really turned on the weather for us! There were plenty of different cars to feast your eyes on, from daily drivers to dedicated drag cars, it was fantastic to see so many varying cars there.
Some definite big hitter numbers attended, pretty crazy to watch them get up and boogie! Special thanks to Dave for hosting us and Danny and Chris for making the day run so smoothly.
Excuse the poor quality video, but here is what a 760kW dyno run looks like!!
SPRINGNATS - 23-25th November
While I wasn't personally able to attend this event, Springnats looked like an absolute cracker!
Well done to the guys and girls who entered into the events, you looked like you had a lot of fun (even with the minor battle scars). Special mention to the green meanie Ford Escort TUF253 for winning Grand Champion of Springnats! What a stellar effort Shannon and Briana!

WANTED: YOUR HIGH-RES CAR PHOTOS!
After some recent feedback, the club is looking at doing some pin-up gloss prints of members cars so other members can drool and decorate their special walls, rooms, garages or man-caves.
Anyone coming to Friday 2nd November Photoshoot Cruise is bound to get some quality shots that would look great on display!
If you have high quality photos of your car and would like to be in our feature prints, please get in touch as soon as possible!
