Check out this link to the North Carolina Dubs in the US. This is the state I am starting out in, so maybe there is a Dub waiting for me somewhere ...

Mike - how you doing?

Are you still around or in the land of the yanks already?

mike did you get lost in the sea somewhere???

[1point9]

Still here, guys! Just don't have a nice cabbie to join you guys ... am presently rolling in an old '95 Mazda Rustler kakkie ... I mean bakkie! It really is terrible but my old man gave it to me, so I'm just holding it together with duct tape and wire! Probably about 2 or 3 months to go, but am hoping it will be less. As soon as I know, I will pull in to a meet and say cheers. Nice to see you guys are keeping it together with a nice turnout and run up to Wartburg, hey. Well done Lawrence and everyone involved.

Thanks Mike

There is a track day at Hesketh on the 16th so maybe we'll check you there. Otherwise you must make a plan and come say cheers before you duck...

Mike, dude what up?

[1point9]

Hey REVV and Troy,

That is a Chevy S10 Blazer on Air-ride suspension, probably body-dropped on 20's. The guys in the US are totally into air-ride suspensions, which is great for shows and looks amazing (if you look close you can see where he has scraped his back roll pan and it is hanging funny) but the handling is crappy. I still want the static lowering with springs and shocks so I can take it to the track occasionally. I am so amped...

[6teen_valve]

you put those van on a track??

[1point9]

Not with the airbag system, as it loses handling...it is basically riding on air bags at each corner which inflate and deflate from a compressed air tank and valves in the back. That is why I wanna stick to the standard springs and shocks route. You can't lower it nearly as much but at least they still handle well.
