25 year anniversary gathering?
Anyone interested in attending a gathering to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Sierras production?
I was thinking of somewhere around Sydney as it's within travelling distance for those on the eastern seaboard. The obvious venue for me would be the Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek, as we'd be able to setup as a group somewhere and take in the action of the Group A cars whilst we were there.
This year it's September the 4th, which as usual is Fathers Day, but hey what a way to spend Fathers Day :)

Sounds good. Eastern Creek would suit.

Get in touch with the organisers of mucles car masters. we approached them a couple of years back for the capri's 40th, they gave us a great display area and parade laps between racers. drop me a pm if you need a hand. O

Thanks mate. If we get enough interest to make it happen I will.

Thanks Graeme.
To make it worth while I'd reckon we'd need at least 15-20 cars. We'll need some definite numbers in the next month or so, so we can start the planning proper.
So if you know of any Sierra owners out there who don't frequent the forums, let them know and see if they're keen to join us.

My YBB motor is Sept 1986 and still resides with the original internals...This does not count, but good to live the dream, ha[88]
I hope your gathering is a success...

God I really want to attend this ... dont count me out just yet. But Fathers Day and The Bride organising an overseas trip sometime in Sept could see me out. let's see what I can sort.
Linc, will your car be ready? Any other cars driving up (possibly together) from Melbourne for this?

Have we had anymore thoughts or progress regarding this??? I have just been watching some youtube vids of last years Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek & I reckon it would be a perfect location!!! Probably even get a few Group A Sierras there too.

I'm still keen to make it happen if we have the numbers to make it worthwhile. It looks like a great event and there should be some group A Sierras there amongst it all. At this stage we have expressions of interest from the following:
Paul (TCR) Matt (COS086) Lincoln (Lincoln) Graeme (Graeme)
Realistically need at least 10-12 cars I'd think. I will contact the 3 other guys up this way and see if they are keen.
If you guys know of anyone else who's keen, get them to reply here or contact me on 0438751071.
Paul.

Ok, so I contacted Jasen with the moonstone RS and he's in, so that makes 5 so far. I've sent of a few emails and sms messages to the other 2 or 3 up here so we'll see how we go. You NSW and Vicorian guys need to harrass the Siera owners down there and get them onboard  I'll shoot off a short email to the Muscle Car Master organisers to see if they're happy to accomodate us if we can get our poo poo together.

I've contatced a few other guys and whilst they'd love to make it happen they just aren't willing to drive their cars that far. That's completely understandable and to be honest I'm starting to think the same way. If there were 20 of us making the trip then it'd be worthwhile but I can't really see that happening. So for now, I think I'll can the idea of trying ot organise a "national" gathering and just concentrate on something more local like our 50th Anniversary of Touring Car meeting at Lakeside in August. By all means, if anyone wants to drive up from NSW to join us feel free

I thought I'd give this topic a bump! Is anyone else still keen to make this happen or, alternatively, if we can organise another event (which is reasonably central) to give as many cossie owners the opportunity to attend. I think the Sydney area is the most central for everyone in QLD, NSW, VIC & SA? What's everyone else's thoughts?
There's nothing quite like COSSIE POWER!

Hey Matt, I'd love to organise a national gathering of some description at some point. I still think the Muscle Car Masters is the obvious choice, given the central location, the great field of group A and C cars they get and the event in general. I sent an email off to the organisers of the Muscle Car Masters and received quite a positive response. They were willing to give us a dedicated area to present the cars, and with some negotiation I may have been able to organise a parade lap or two. Unfortunately due to short notice and a lack of numbers it didn't happen this year, but with a bit more forward planning, perhaps we could organise a gathering at next years Muscle Car Masters to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the RS500? Paul.

As you know I live in Adelaide but I will come over to Sydney if we can plan ahead and get enough people to attend, I think we need to plan it very carefully as we dont have air con and who wants to drive 1500 Ks in the wet so with a bit of thought I am sure we can make it happen. It would be an awesome sight to see so many cars in Australia all at the same time Dave
