A little random and a little nostalgia

What a day i tell ya, with the help of a good friend of mine Nathan we dropped Silvie off at Cameron's body works this morning and spoke to him about how I wanted it all setup. After this we headed over to Nathans work (East Coast Customs) and spent pretty much the rest of the day there working and and what not.

Nathan then dropped me off at Daves place to pick up his festiva that ill be reppin in for the next 2 weeks while silvie is off having a holiday and a make over lol..

got home maybe 6:30-7:00pm so a bloody long day on only three hours sleep but oh well i have no one to blame but myself. With going to bed late the night before and just plain being me.

Anyway the whole point of this post is because ive been sitting here trawling through my hard drives for the hundreds of photos that i have horded over the years of the car and various stages of the build when i came across some old photos that Hoji took at one of the first fortnightly Nissansilvia meets.

It was the Tuesday the 2nd of October 2007 and I'm pretty sure it was the first time we held one of the meets out the back of the Brisbane international airport. Now for the kids playing on Nissansilvia/Hardtuned this was the original QLD crew and how young we were lol.

Pretty much all our cars were stock or just starting in their build phases, we all were still learning and what we learned we passed onto each other, from memory we had the AFP come around to see if we were dealing drugs but when they found out we were just a car club meeting up to talk shit, talk cars they left us in piece. It's a shame that they all didnt do that when we were out there a few times afterward but hey i still blame the aircraft techs in the building in the background of the photos saying we were drunk and drinking alcohol.

anyway enough yammering here are the pictures. Ill Try and put names to faces in the group shot ;)

left to right - Josh (Mr. X) Myself (Silvieson) Josh (Halz) Rob (The Stapler *after many name changes) BJ , Ash (Steak) Dave (Disenter) bloodskull GF, Nick (empti_13) Kurt (noobis) bloodskull, Glenn (51CAZ) and last but not least Hoji 

I still remember that being a cold night but geez that night feels like so long ago now, Glenn had just brought his FD, Rob had his Autech s15, Kurt owned the white S14, Nick had those poxy chrome rims on his s13 hahaha... ohhh dear but when i look back it felt like a simpler time with not so many hassles that we have to deal with now.

Now before i finally submit this i might throw a few more pics up but of silvie sitting at camos this morning before i left her in his capable hands.
