Wakefield Pix

1 Santa waiting for Christmas -- the Queenslanders and the Vics were still coming and the Welcoming Session was waiting for them

2 The Queenslanders disguised their cars on the way south so that nobody would know they were RX8s - but everyone made them wash the camouflage off

3 MikeyR had modified his car so much that noone recognised that it was an RX8

1 Wildcard's car with Hymee's first supercharger installed was a major interest for almost everyone at the Nationals

2 Looked and sounded great on the circuit too

3 On the last morning Taka ran a workshop on how to modify the centre brake light

All very interesting Jellybean but surely someone got some decent glamour shots of the lovely Jodie from Mazda!

Just kidding - some great candid shots there.

While we are on the pix topic, which photographer is producing the individualised $100 CD for purchase? I thought it was Paul Chapman, but I can't see anything on his website. I was of the understanding you could view the pics online?

CD is from Paul Chapman. Don't know about photos being available for viewing on line tho. (given that there were about 70 of my car, that makes a lot of pics!) Contact them through their web page.

Cheers

Mind if I add to yours, Jellybean?

Some social ones -- arrival Friday night. I was a bit worried, given few had met each other before, that it could be the sounds of silence, and had actually planned to bring some speakers and hook up mu iPod......

....look at dem tongues wag

Saturday dawned sunny and clear, a major relief for me, because the consistent forecast all week had said rain tending to showers. And everyone had washed their cars, too!

Wakefield is a beautiful country location, too (now that the drought has broken)

(psst! anyone, wanna buy a used 8? Here's a yard full of them!

Don and MACCAA inspect the cars

As I said to MACCAA....nothing beats a good scrute

If you look carefully, you can just see Choppy replacing the secret NOS injection system into his car. Very cunning

Thanks for those pix. My car looked like a pig after going through some muddy patches on the road to Wakefield.

I tossed up if I should risk possibly scratching the paint while washing the car with a bucket and rag but in the end my emotion of driving a clean car took over and I ended up washing it. It was the dirtiest the car had ever been.

Managed to fit my remaining last night but am yet to get a chance to wash it either.

Almost committed the sacrilege of taking it to a car wash on the way to work this morning but luckily it was shut.

So, the B pillars and the crests are the only clean thing on the car!!!
