Being pretty new to the forums, I thought it would be good to meet some members from the area, and Dave (Ghia5L) is nagging me to as well. It would be good to get to know a few more people on the forums. I missed out on the cruise last weekend, so that didn't help things. If anyone wants to meet up, just let me know.

Thanks for responding, if you're passing through, you should PM me or something... preferably a day or two in advance. It would be great to meet a few other people as proud of their e-series as I am.

You should rip some helis near the Menzies building!
And FINALLY you've made this thread! Soon you'll be able to put faces to names/cars... -Dave- Night all... |

I don't think Monash would be too happy if I ripped those helis! Actually speaking of maniac driving, you should have seen the massive powerslide I did last week... turning onto a highway! It was accidental, but it was great. It would have been good entertainment to the cars behind me. I don't think my tyres are too flash. The road was a bit damp, but I should have more grip than that. One of my friends gets his NF Fairlane sideways in the the uni gravel carparks. Now that would be a good sight from the outside! Seeya

Wow. Got a few more responses than expected. Great! We should pick a date in which we can all have a get-together... or a mini-cruise as EF_Machine says. It would be great! Any ideas?

Being on residence, we get our own special car park though, with security guards and everything. That's pretty handy. Again, thanks for the info. It's good to see there are a few more e-series fans in the area than I initially thought, Hope to hear heaps more in the future.

I live in Oakleigh and work in the Clayton area most nights so you probably would have seen my white EA cruise around before October... soon again though.
These days you'll probably see me cruise past in my AU2 ex cab

I've seen a few ex-cabs around so I'm not sure if i've seen yours. You probably wouldn't notice mine. No real distinguishing features from any other Platinum Silver EA Ghia. Do you come past the uni much? Because that's where I'm based.
