Happy New Year Guys ... upwards and onwards for 2013

Hi All,
 
Just a recap on this years highlights in our community, and our beloved cars being another year older.
 
Highlights:
Cars getting older to the 25yr old mark can now apply for club registrations - Thanks REDMR2RED

Alot of SW20s seem to migrated over the WA, must be something in the water/petrol over there.
The NSW club has changed hands leaving JPAudio as President with a smaller but more streamline committee. We look forward to NSW club events for 2013.
The Queensland club now formally an official club, thanks to all the efforts that tralfaz has done with Queensland club and number of MR2s attending is a testament to the amout of work that he has put in.
Heck, even Firthy drove up to Sydney from melbourne for a visit in december.
 
Number of projects completed:
A few of us have made major improvements to project cars, JPAUDIO's SDU820, DAZ's 2000GT is sight to be scene just on bodywork alone not to mention to planned engine upgrades, ROBKs major improvements to his beast both visually and under the bonnet, hood, engine lid (you know what i mean). MR2QIK's constant reminder my project isn't complete as i seem have the wrong part on my car.
 
Events for 2013
Serious major events for 2013 include B24s MR2 Challenge in January http://www.mr2australia.com/MR2play/tm.aspx?m=74225 Thanks B24 for all yours and others who have helped with this event.
MR2 Nationals in Tassie around October. http://www.mr2australia.com/MR2play/tm.aspx?m=83510
Not to mention the individual events each state will be having over coming year
 
As always, a huge thank you to all the members here club or just forum with the valuable contributions they have made to help out this little community ours. So for those to have left, we would as always love you to come back here and join in all the fun, tears and angry moments when are use/upgrade/modify or just even driving our cars. 
I'm sure i've missed heaps of other highlights, projects and events that are also noteworthy to comment.
 
Happy New Year Guys and drive safe.
 
Please feel free to add any else i've missed.

I blame the fact that at any given time there is no no more then 4-5 SW20s and all seem to be around the $10,000-$13,000 mark.



All in all has been a pretty good year for my little MR2'S
Manage to buy a hard top turbo which I always wanted.
Took my car to a first track day, and had absolutely blast but I fear I have got myself hooked
Managed to write off my Daily Sdub which was unfortunate as  I spent countless weeks fixing, but received a decent payout which was convenient, (on that note, also had my first car accident and it was a great (although at times - a very difficult) learning experience)
Managed to buy back my written off sdub  and and should hopefully be fixed and back on the road in the new year.
Got taken for a spin in one of the most powerful MR2s I think I will ever sit in, and like the Driver (Daz) I couldn't stop grinning.
 
Special thanks goes out to those members (and many more non-members) that have provided me with parts, advice and general know-how.

Happy new year guys!

Thanks Chase_d

Happy New Year all!!
I had a great and eventful 2012, first WTAC and meeting the eastern MR2 mob, going to Japan for the first time and getting a better job! :)

2012 has been an eventful year for me to say the least, kinda like getting stuff sorted out so this will be an entertaining one.
Happy new year!
