For those of you requesting "plate protectors", please specify exactly how many you want - ie, you will need two if you wish to cover both front and rear plates!

How much do you want to spend on aftermarket wheels and tyres?

I have a set of four 225/35/18's in excellent condition - let me know if that size is usable to you? Clint

I have a few, will PM you.

Last call for anyone wanting to forward BBQ payments via netbank - considering some banks take up to 3 days to clear tranactions. I'll also happily accept cash payments until Thursday evening too. Clint

Occasion: Toyota owners and enthusiasts get together. Date: Sunday December 5th, 2010 Time: 1pm onwards Bring: Something to sit on, whatever you wish to drink, wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, games, sunscreen, hats, appetite, tall stories, ...! Cost: $15 per adult to cover the BBQ and food TECCWA will supply Location: Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth Foreshore. We'll be situated on the grass area west of the western carpark, under the trees. From Mill Point Road, turn into Coode Street towards the river. Immediately past the bike path crossover turn left into the car park entry, and find a place to park at the western end. We'll be situtated under the trees near the carpark, bounded by the bike path, river and big flag pole there. If the car park is full, there is another car park on the RHS of Coode Street. Yep, its on again the annual South Perth BBQ. Same format and location as previous years, and only $15 per person for a BBQ lunch, with everyone welcome. 1pm start time at the western end of Sir James Mitchell Park near the car park and under the trees - bring your chairs, picnic rug, sunscreen, games, tall stories, alcohol should you wish to drink, … Scenario will be the same as last year, come down, eat bbq, tell tall stories, avoid sunburn, and enjoy the afternoon - a great chance to round out the year catching up with fellow Toyota owners and enthusiasts, with a great feed and a social beverage or three! I'd greatly appreciate your $15 per adult payment prior to November 29th, so I can gauge amounts and interest. I'm happy to travel to a few convenient locations around Perth to collect money prior to the day if people don't want to net bank, and I can't stress how important it is to notify me of your attendance please - makes catering sooooooo much easier! I also look forward to catching up with all of you for a social event worthy of your attendance?! For those of you interested in BBQ goodies, please forward your $15pp payments to the TECCWA bank account and place your name against your deposit as an identifier: Bank: Westpac BSB: 036037 A/C: 336522 Name: TECCWA For those of you not interested in BBQ, thats cool too, you are more than welcome to BYO, or simply pop by to say hello. A few people have also commented or asked about cars and the chance to show them off - if we fill the carpark with Toyotas then all good, but the day is more about a social event so feel free to bring anything that gets you there on the day. Finally, we're a couple of people short of hitting 50 financial members - if you've been meaning to join, please do so as I'd love to hit a personal goal with the club of 50 financial members within the first 12 months of operation. I'll also be giving a brief run down of events planned for the coming 12 months and am sure there will be something in those comments for everyone to enjoy. Please email me directly on clg AT teccwa DOT com with your confirmation or any questions you have regarding the day or TECCWA?! Clint

Steve, While not so much an issue with the forum, I have tried to contact you today. I assume you have PM's turned off so I'm left with email contact. I click on the link only to be told that the computer I'm on (work computer so not mine, and not something I'm willing to set up my own personal email details on either) needs to set up outlook express - also a losing situation for me. So, how do I contact you? If you'd like to send me a PM with your contact email, please do so, otherwise please email me - I have questions and comments regarding TOCau that I'd prefer kept private for now. Many thanks, Clint

I am just putting the finishing touches to a 94 ZR ST204, and will be looking to sell it in the next month or so hopefully. The actual car is an automatic "Sea Spray Pearl" with grey interior, and only has 120 000Kms on the odometer. The previous owner blew a radiator hose and then cooked the old motor, finally letting it sit for 3 years with water in the bores. I bought it 12 months ago with the intention of wrecking it, but it was too good for that, so have replaced the motor with a low Km unit. I've also replaced the radiator hoses and radiator, and all other fluids in it's rebuild. I'm currently preping the car for a spray job, the clear coat is in poor condition, so it will look perfect once finished. The only areas not standard on the car will be the Stereo (aftermarket), and the wheels (aftermarket 15" ten spokes). Including freight into Sydney would still see the car priced below your maximum spend too. Let me know if you're interested further?

I've got a few sets of Toyota shanked nuts, will PM you.

Direct deposits closed, cash payments only for those bringing cars now - who is definately coming?

Yep, bed by 4:30, alarm for 10:30, out of bed by 11:00, come down and be a zombie, go home and sleep more, done!

Here's a wild thought - you could set an alarm?! :P

Yep, I know what you're saying - my intention is to have all the cars together in one location, not spread out around a carpark where we have to try and avoid other people also parking there too. Unfortunately, the costs associated with getting permission to park on the grass have just kept going up, hence the need for people to either be TECCWA members, or help contribute to those costs. $10/head is not excessive in today's world, so I'd hope everyone appreciates this and helps by paying. Trust me, at $10/head I need at least 114 people to turn up for the day (and thats not including the $1000 bond for the venue too) - so it will be a loss making entity. Yep, I love cars!

Occasion: TECCWA Automotive Photoshoot Date: Saturday March 13th, 2010 Time: 8:00am onwards Bring: Your freshly washed cars, something to drink, sunscreen, hats, tall stories, ...! Cost: Free for TECCWA members, $10 for non members as a once off payment (ie if you bring 2 or more cars, it still only costs $10). Membership forms available and accepted on the day too. Location: Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth Foreshore. We'll be situated on the grass area bounded by Mill Point Road and Coode Street, South Perth Directions: Enter the grassed area by the Mill Point Road access gate, then drive towards the cars parked on the grass. TECCWA (http://www.teccwa.com) is holding an automotive photoshoot to source some fresh visual material of Toyotas in Western Australia. If you have a Toyota and are happy to have it photographed and those images used to promote toyotas in WA, please wash it (at the very least) and bring it down to the foreshore for a photo session. Car Preparation and Requirements I'm asking people to wash the exterior and chamios it off at the very least, and no primer patches on the exterior body. I have only ever had one car professionally detailed once, and I'm reminded that I had to do very little for the next 12-18 months other than wash the dust off to have a fantastic finish, so maybe it's worth considering having done for those of you who wish too? Should you wish to also have engine bays and interior shots, please make sure those areas are clean too. My primary focus will be exterior shots but if you've gone to the effort, I'm happy to oblige. Photographers As for the actual shutterbug, I'm looking for a few people for the job. My hope is that we have more cars than time will allow to shoot, so having a group of photographers each taking one or two specific shots would be appreciated to get everyone included - if you're handy with a digicam and have the time free, please let me know?! Either way, I encourage you to bring your own camera, and take a few snaps - if they come out good, please consider forwarding a copy to TECCWA. Transport and Selection For those of you that may need a hand to actually get your cars down there, be it due to work needed or simply additional cars, please ask for help now. For those of you with multiple cars that can come down, please let me know exatly what you're bringing?! Parking on the grassed area will be free, and there is plenty of space to park car trailers for anyone trailering cars down to the venue. Please list the models you can bring down, and your preferred timeframe (am, pm or any) - I will do my best to appease everyone with their requests, but I also ask you to consider the scale of planning something like this takes, in the hope that the turnout is better than anything previously held! HOMEWORK FOR YOU! If you have the time either on the day or prior, please consider taking your car and a digital camera to any of the areas marked in red on the map below too. Feel free to take a few shots of your car with the Perth city skyline in the background at the best resolution, and largest size you can achieve with your camera. Bring your camera and car to the main photo point with your download cable, and download them to a laptop for inclusion in a compilation of the day. "Self Serve" locations to consider (if the interest is there, I will consider asking someone to sit there with a camera to take shots, to make it easier for people on the day - please let me know your preference on this matter?): 1: Kings Park - roadside parking on Fraser Ave, to achieve a photo that looks like this: 2: Mill Point Road Carpark under Narrows Bridge: 3: South Perth Esplanade street parking - anywhere along South Perth Esplanade where you can get a good shot of your car with the skyline in the background. 4: South Perth Esplanade Carpark - this carpark runs right up too the river's edge, but is very popular - you may jag a good photo op here. 5: Coode Street Carparks - both left and right of Coode Street at the river's edge, again very popular - take what you can get - you may get lucky?! 6: Plain Street, East Perth - street parking with the ability to shoot over Langley Park, with the city running down the RHS to the Convention Centre, and onto Kings Park. The Public Liability and Council Fees Monster! My main aim of the day is to gather as many "photogenic" Toyotas in one place as I can. To this end I've considered the space needed, areas available and the setting, in my decision to use the South Perth Foreshore for the groups shots. I've applied to the local Council for permission to place the cars on the lawn area overlooking the Swan River and Perth City Skyline, so this setting should give us some fantastic shots that would not normally be available. Unfortunately, due to the litigious nature of the world these days, the council require a Public Liability Insurance policy along with the usage fees imposed upon us which is a cost that needs to be paid by the club, hence the need for either TECCWA membership or $10 for non members to cover this expense. There is also a need to provide a $1000 refundable bond to use the venue - if you are able to help cover this cost, please let me know? Payments I'm asking you to help contribute to the payment of these expenses - I've tried to avoid it several different ways, but I still wind up out of pocket. I'd hope you accept and contribute a small payment of $10 per person to cover the policy for this event, and I appreciate you bringing your $10 CASH PAYMENT on the day and will give you a receipt if requested. I will also happily accept your TECCWA membership application and payment preferably prior, or on the day too. Please make your payments sooner rather than later - to give me a chance to confirm your transfers, or at the very least let me know your intentions? Timeframe We'll be focused on taking individual car shots and model group shots from the start of the morning and after lunch time, with my primary aim to get a series of combined group shots of everyone around lunch time. Hopefully this will help those people who can't make it to either the morning or afternoon time frame, still be included in the photos. The longer you can stay, the more options we have regarding lighting, background view, and model shots. Ideally, everyone will be at the main location for a time frame of 11am -1pm for the large group shots. 8:00 - 11:00 - Individual and Model Group Shots - small and midsize Toyotas, MR2, Celicas 11:00 - 1:00 - Group Shots - Model specific and All Models Combined 1:00 - 4:00 - Individual and Model Group Shots - Supra, Soarer, Cressida, Large Toyotas, Other Models. I will have an esky of soft drink cans and bottles of water available for $1 each, with whatever profits turned back into the club. Other Makes and Models I've had a few requests for people to bring other makes and models down to utilise the location too. If anyone wants to bring down anything else, please do so between the hours of 3:30-4:30pm, and don't forget your $10 payment to help cover the costs associated with the day. Remember - you'll need to bring your own camera too! YOUR DRIVING ETIQUETTE I cannot stress enough, the need to do the right thing while driving your car to and from the venue, and on the grass on the day. I realise I won't personally know everyone who attends, so I'm taking this opportunity to say - "please drive appropriately for the location, and don't disappoint me". I've gone to alot of trouble to put this together, an incured a significant out of pocket expense to do so - your actions will reflect back on me, and my future desires for the council to approve other automotive orientated events (like a big Toyota car show in the coming years, on the foreshore here in Perth). Remember the location is a residential suburb, with lots of people using the pathway near the river's edge, so consideration as to how the public view and react to you, falls squarely on you. This event is open to all Toyota enthusiasts - club member or not. I'm hoping for a good turn out, most of you already know of my club ambitions that once developed will certainly give WA Toyota owners something to look forward too, and be proud of, and as always I look forward to catching up with all of you for a social event worthy of your attendance?! If you can't make it on the day, but would like to be added to a mailing list for future TECCWA club events in WA, please email me directly on limeglaze at hotmail.com and I'll add you to a mailing list.
