I know you would have been here, but I also know how important your special event is! Wish we could bring the full convoy to Albany that would be one sight to see for one very special kid!

Yer Vic the fuel stations would of loved it if we all went to Albany .

[highlucks]

I am in.

On the subject of potentially 60+ cars attending. Is there enough room at John Hugh's to house that many vehicles with out emptying the lot. If not is there a secondary Muster point?

Hey Vic look what happened with my last idea is this another one :p

How good would that be lol

Being a Sunday it's not to bad, did'nt quite expect this many cars and it's a bit late now to make changes there's some grass areas and the bike shops car park across the road and out front of JJH dealer ship as well

Where just having to go with the flow

[Vman]

Yer Vic the fuel stations would of loved it if we all went to Albany .

You are right and with the right attitude you never know who would become a sponsor maybe even BP ;-) nothings impossible it just takes hard work. Look what we did in 3 weeks running out of room for the Jeeps at the meeting point :) who would have thought you can get that many people behind it. Best part it's only the 1st annual event and other business are already asking to get involved but obviously too late for this year. So I say bring on this Sunday :) and let's have a good day out.

I am not sure if this is already on the cards. But how about we also pass the hat around for a local charity?

This was definitely on the cards when I started looking at this 6 months ago and it was going to be the Cancer Society (topless day and Aussie sun, makes sense and cancer is in my family) but as I had no time to commit to this on my own I had to drop the event and the ideas.

So 3 weeks ago Davis got on board and it's back on the cards but we never expected to get these numbers so there was no point collecting a few dollars from a few Jeeps. We never thought that in a short time we could pull this together and have a great number of Jeeps attending!

I personally am all for it but also would like to get the Charity involved into the event from the start so next year we will have this all organized and will offer raffle tickets with all money going to the charity and all prizes donated by the sponsors.

As for this event, we can see how it goes when we get to York, we have a few things happening so the opportunity will be there to suggest a donation.

Cheers

[mackley]

The roof is off, the doors are off and I'm good to go :hump:

Do you guys want to pick a channel for the day?
Might make it easier if anyone is running late (like myself 8) )

[davis]

Hi Wes ,

Thanks for Asking Its Channel 26

It seemed a good number when I was putting it on a sheet for hand out

Davis

[wes]

26 sounds good to me.

Just hope I can get there on time - I'd really hate to miss this!

I will be working Saturday night - hopefully can get some zzz's between finishing work and turning up at the meet point.

So, apologies in advance if I'm grumpy :cool:

[davis]

If your running late just follow the great eastern Hwy to the lakes Turn Right

I have been looking for an event to have the Cystic Fibrosis Assoc involved in as a bit of a fundraiser. It would be great to be a part of this to help promote CF awareness. We are members of the CFAWA and also the Heart Lung Transplant Assoc of WA. Would love to be involved in someway down the track. We owe a lot (including a life) and would like to be able give something back :)

See you on Sunday.

Hello to all the WA Jeepers,

We would like to welcome everyone to the dealership tomorrow morning for a coffee, muffin and a look around prior to leaving for York.

From everyone at John Hughes CJD get those tops off and enjoy the fun of the day!;)

Get the roof off the new one pack up 2 soft tops and a part polish the 2door cause she thinks it looks dull

And I got a six pack in as well so it's all looking good for tomorrow

Bring it on WA

[highlucks]

I wiped the muddy water spots off the flares. I hope that is clean enough.

[Gravel]

Thanks to all who organised and all who turned up today, it was a great site to see... Looking forward to the photos... just so many topless Wranglers... awesome...

[Vman]

The 1st Go Topless Day WA was a great day! The turnout and efforts in the prepping the Jeeps was impressive. The tally was 50 Jeeps and 110 people! What a site to see i was in the middle of the convoy and as far as an eye could see it was Jeeps in the rear view and in the front! The weather was perfect and scoring 40+ parking spots in a row was a bonus. We collected $400 for the Cancer Society and thanks to the sponsors we gave away a lot of prizes. So thanks to all that supported the event. Hope to see you on the next years run. Cheers Vic n Sue

[wes]

What a turn-out! At one stage, I was at the back of the long, long convoy stretching out in front of me - and a fantastic sight it was too.

Well done to the organisers for turning out such an event at short notice.
I don't want to contradict official figures but at one stage in York, I counted 38 Wranglers (33 JK's and 5 TJ's) along with about 10 other Jeeps of different models.

There were also some other Jeeps at the meet point who didn't make the trip to York.

I was very pleased to get a prize for my TJ - luckily Victor from BlacJackWelding musn't have been eligible (being a sponsor and all) with his TJ which is probably the best in the State.

But getting home and going through the sensational prize pack unearthed gear from SBR Offroad, BlackJackWelding, Jeep Concept Store Joondalup, ausjeepoffroad.com
- Thanks and hope I haven't missed any other generous sponsors.

The most fun I've had in the Jeep without getting it dirty (and keeping my clothes on :cool: )

Here are a couple of pics of the Wranglers parked up in York - only managed 2 pics :confused: The day just flew by before we were heading home.

Sorry the FB link didn't work :( Have left it up as my FB friends should be able to access it. It is made public so not sure what happened.

[BumbleJeep]

The pics look awesome, so sorry we missed it. Was contemplating to go, but a 600km round trip for a day was just a bit far...(specially with the roof off) hopefully next year its in Perth, so the down south people can join in!!

All the jeeps look stunning!;)

[highlucks]

Thanks for a great day out in the sun. It was great to finally put some faces to forum names. Thank you all for being so welcoming.
Wow, what a turn out. I have to say that today I saw the best local jeeps I have ever seen. From full on offroad to show room bling we had the whole spectrum .

Cheers Camo

To follow on from the Vman,

What a great “success” and without the support from the Jeep community an Event like this would not have happened. I would especially like to thanks all our Sponsors as without them it would not have been possible to have the fantastic prizes.
I would like to thank the people that assisted me in the arrangements in getting this together in a short time and to making this event run as smoothly as it did.

On behalf Of Jodie and Davis Thanks again to all that attended and we look forward to seeing you all at Topless Day 2013

Keep the Photos coming and I will try and put up some footage taken from the Camera car

To everyone who turned out yesterday for the 1st WA Go Topless Day

WOW!! What a response!

The photos look amazing, the video footage that was taken by Simon the Zoom TV photographer needs to been seen to be believed.

We will notify all when the Zoom TV segment is due to go to air! $400 to the Cancer Council what a tremendous effort - well done to all.

To Davis, Vic and Sue a special thanks for all your efforts.
