    Well the SAU guys and gals organized a Red Cross blood drive today Saturday the 4th of May and we had 4, YES 4 of the aus300zx Brisbane crew show up, not a real good look for our club.

    And yet they were appreciative of those of us that did show up, and these are the same SAU crew that have 15 + of their members coming too Eric and Wooshka's fund raising drive , SERIOUSLY guys maybe a bit more effort would have been nice and it was also for a good cause, just think one day you or one of your nearest and dearest may need a blood transfusion.

    Or maybe the only thing a lot of people in here care about is themselves, and what they can get out of it for themselves instead of giving a bit of their time, for others.

    Thanks too zsteve , magicmike, nastygirl for showing up, and a big thank you too the SAU Crew for a great day.

    Mate you need to realise SAU guys outnumber us about 5 to 1. There are also some of us that have a life outside of the Z scene too. I would have love to have come on this cruze even though I'm not allowed to donate blood anymore since my cardiac failure but I had a prior engagement which like this was in service to the community.

    Don't be too quick to jump the gun and make the assumption that no one here cares. I have been on the recipient end of the generosity and kindness of the people on this board and let me assure you they are only too willing to lend a hand when someone has hit hard times.

    May I suggest in future if an event like this is close to your heart and you believe the members should support it then send out a PM to all the local crew. I for one do not troll the coming events forum and occasionally miss an event I would like to have participated in.

    Yes Karl i appreciate that , and yes i have a life outside of the Zeds as well. My beef is the fact it had been advertised for weeks beforehand, and even the people responding offering too donate or show up and support it was dismal too say the least.

    I know Zsteve couldn't donate blood as he is a Mad Cow or has Mad Cows disease oops sorry that's right he was in the UK when they had Mad Cows Disease, NastyGirl ( Ash ) was sick and couldn't give blood, i didn't think they'd take Mike's seeing as he's a married man, and like all married men are drained of blood at the altar :rolleyes: . And i wasn't even sure they would want mine having been O/S as a younger man and not given in over 20 years.

    It just seems as of late unless it's Zed related and organized or something where people can get something for nothing out of it, no one wants too help out, and seeing a lot of the crap that's been going on in the forum lately it's no wonder a lot of the good people no longer really contribute or have dropped right out.
