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.

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

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

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

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'. ;)

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

Whoops my bad Karl. Bloody Yagz. :mrgreen:

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.

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

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.

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.
