OK, updated the date to

Saturday August the 26th. 10am-12 ?

Something died in my vehicle over the weekend. As always just before a demonstration of the capabilities. Anyway, Looking into the smell today..

vxcarpc · 07-31-2006, 07:49 PM

I'll be there. I got half of my new touch screen panel this morning and the other half should be here this week so i'll get to work installing that by the 26th. Should be good stuff. Let's say 12 lunch time. Will pick me up some Maccas on the way down

Remember all who attend. When you park in the parking space spread out so people can open doors etc. Last time everyone seemed to be very close together and made it hard for people to get in and have a good look at some of the setups.

Maybe we could get a few guys from the Caraudioaustralia to come along too with some phat stezzas to look at.

Aug 26 is good for me too

vxcarpc · 08-02-2006, 09:25 PM

I know we don't wanna attract too much attention to the meet but I've posted up ont he Caraudioaustralia forum the meet details cause theres also some carpc people on there who might wanna come along and show there pc's. Hopefully will generate some more interest and some more cars along.

feral · 08-07-2006, 08:40 AM

Just a quick bump to see if theres further interest.. :-)

NiN^_^NiN · 08-07-2006, 06:45 PM

I might aswell post in this thread i've seen it for a while now just never bothered to log into mp3car :P

To get more people i reccomend PM everyone i still have a list of ppl if needed altho dont forget that there are very few melbourne mp3car people nowadays so dont expect to get up to 10 ppl i wouldnt think.

I don't know if i'll be there im still adding parts to the car (non carpc) and i dont know if it will be started or finished by then but we will see.

And i just saw the PM's lol i should actually logon instead of browsing

vxcarpc · 08-08-2006, 02:46 AM

Haha slacker.. I thoguht you dissapeared.. Yeah will be good to get some people back from the last meet.

Unfortunately I'm now unemployed so the cashflows stopped for my carpc for a while but i'll come along for a look see. I should still have my touch screen hooked up my then.

lol, Im unemployed too.. Its been 3 weeks.. Thankfully I have all the bits, and lots of free time, but a little lack of motivation...

I did PM everybody.. I think..

Anyway, it looks as though Ive munted the motherboard on the e-pc.. luckily I have another, so its fairly easy to just swap the HDD. Since last time Ive integrated a camera and GPS, and re-done the skin on my FE.. but Im eagerly awaiting freeway..

Also aquired a tablet and laptop, both more powerful than the e-pc, so Im considering using them as a solution.

Anyway, see you guys then. And no I wont be washing my car espescially. :P

Nup just dont get on here alot anymore i'm busy working and turning my car into a road show car so it takes quite abit of time from my hands designing things and buying parts.

vxcarpc · 08-09-2006, 03:05 AM

What do you mean by a "Road Show" car? Your going to show it at car shows?

NiN^_^NiN · 08-09-2006, 06:45 PM

It's a show car but its used on the road aka a daily driver

It won't be like alot of show cars they are made for show but rarely or never driven to make sure they get no chips etc.

vxcarpc · 08-09-2006, 07:27 PM

Oh well sounds like you got it all coming together. I'm going to my old work today to pickup the touch screen so hopefully i'll be able to work it all out and have it going soon.

I also have a side project. Building an arcade machine so I'm gonna be doing a bit of that too.

I still plan on comming to the meet.

NiN^_^NiN · 08-13-2006, 09:36 PM

Yeah the cars coming together but its still to damn slow have no time to do it with work on the weekdays then website work on the side on the weekends i don't have much time

I Also have 3 Arcade machines aswell 1 is a upright which will have mame another is a cocktail (with the glass top perfect for resting a jim beam on it

) which will be mame'd and a 3rd one which is VERY rare game the first car game to have verticle scrolling i'm restoring that one

it's from 69 if i remember correctly so it's not in MAME and never will be as it's all electronic no rom chip to be dumped.
