I felt pretty tired after the plane trip back to Sydney yesterday. I’d just gotten in bed to take a power nap when I a message form Sergio who was worried that if I had a nap I’d not be able to get up and get to the “Winning’s, Winning” The Fast and the Furious Movie Night hosted at Enmore’s awesome “The Projects” by Zen Garage.

I decided he was probably right, so I got to Enmore, had some good grub and lots of beers. Tired I was, but hey it was chill. At 6pm we put the movie on and unfortunately the sound was a little too soft. Didn’t stop Alain and Glenn yelling out lines though (haha) THEN the DVD froze… a few of us went back to Zen, which got pretty rowdy. I made the call to come home rather than sleep on the couch at work. Wise?!

EDIT: Many more photos here.

The Downshift boys from QLD had their first ever Sydney meet yesterday at Fairfield Showgrounds. The meet was held outdoors, in the oval (instead of the undercover area most car clubs use), which was different. The sun was beating down pretty hard at 4-6PM but at 6.30 sunset kicked in and with the DJ spinning tunes it felt just right.

Was a chilled out day, as expected. Much more down tempo from the hectic Mega Meet last Friday night. I’m exhausted, but it’s my day off today (track day tomorrow!).

PS: More photos from the Downshift meet here.

Last year we counted 1200+ cars, this year it was so big cars couldn’t get in! Our Zen stand was mobbed. We had a great night!

So nice to see designs come to life. The Yokohama 86 (which I designed the graphics for) was dropped off to Zen today. I even got to drive it off the truck. It’s an auto, which kinda surprised me, but hey I drove my cousin’s manual one a week ago and I was curious to see if the auto was any good, or not. I took it for a spin and yeah, it wasn’t any good (the manual was way more engaging!). The car is going to live with us for a bit, should brighten up our space that’s for sure!
