Speaking of first cars...

[Bipolar]

G'day all, I finally got around to doing a little presentation on my EA and the origins of the Club. Includes footage from various sources.

Cheers.

[Nikk O'lass]

Impressive.


Look at how the cars have imporved though!

[Sunboost]

All these years later I still rate Bass Crazy's car as one of the best.

[ronza]

Well done mate great footage spread!!!

[old_mate]

It definately was the standout back in the day, i wonder where it is now.

I also have a lot of time for Rmyers' car after seeing it from the start, as well as Gillys' EA, a certain envy green EA that is MIA and i'll never forget when OED ran that mid 13.

When did ford.i8 kick off? Over a decade ago?

For Qld people Lukes (lukey039) mint red EA Spac would have to be a standout, the car was fabled when I began my apprenticeship over seven years ago hahaha. I think he initiated most of the performance mods with members back then too, his car used to be the quickest falcon around

[old_mate]

Yep. Luke's car definately went well. I remember getting hosed on a cruise hardcore back in 2002

[galapogos01]

Great vid man! Dunno how my mug wasn't in any of those vids, somehow I escaped. My EA was in a few of the photos though

[Troutman]

You just reminded me, I think I still have a vid of some toys rattling around while you were testing a sub.

Also have a thread with the original shitfight caused by 'The Dominator'.

[galapogos01]

haha. Nice.

The dominator cheapy sub? I have some video of that thing somewhere. Beast. haha!

[Troutman]

You fjear teh Dominator.

[09SR5]

that wasn't me in that irc haha. it reminds me
of yagz

[ed40]

Awesome video!
With the amount of footage of e-series on youtube it would be good to make a big video

[Troutman]

Whoops my bad Karl. Bloody Yagz.

ed40: cheers. A little documentary or something would be cool. I've got heaps of older footage but from about '04-05 onwards my archive is less fruitful.

[XR_Lightning]

nice vid!

[Ef_frmnt]

It would be cooler if all the footage was from our cars, not just YouTube. Especially photos from years ago, I was ridiculously proud of my EF Fairmont when I was 17 and kept it fastidiously clean lol

[BROCKYB8]

Very much like the idea of putting a big e series video thing together .
That was good video def like watching it

[Troutman]

Cheers guys.
PS. None of that footage was from Youtube, I used to download links that forum members would post so have a load on my hard drive.

[Ef_frmnt]

Yeah I meant if a more comprehensive one was done in the future

[Rmyers]

Nice vid takes me back! Nice to see my car on the road haha

[pHaT`eL]

We need stuff like this to have on a screen at AFD, etc..

[pHaT`eL]

and good old mention of OzE.. The ugly redheaded step child that formed

[braad]

Great video. Thats a bugger the EA was sold for a mazda :/

mIRC is old school! I wish i knew of eseries back then

[Skotty]

Ahh, the old days of #e-series on IRC... Use to frequent there alot back in 06/07ish...

[simc]

LOL.. thread mining is great!
I still miss my EA from back in the day That vid brought back some great memories. Well done Troutman.

Boy did we have some good times, cruises before we worried about things like forced induction, 20 inch wheels or 6 speed auto's. We were wrapped to have our electric
windows working and no one break down on the cruise!!

Great to see the forum/club grow to such a great community all these years later!! We would have killed for some of the rides going around now.
