SPEECH BY Moderator (or the least pissed person)
My friends and fellow LS1 Australians.
On behalf of the Commonwealth and the people of Australia, I welcome you to this ceremony and to membership in our national LS1 family.
By taking LS1 Australian citizenship today, you join 7000 compatriots in a vast Forum, which has a very long history, and a very bright future.
You join our first LS1 Australians… men and women whose presence here goes back over 5 years.
You join those LS1 Australians whose ancestors arrived here in 1996.
And you join… and continue… the great migration of 2000 that has brought nearly six thousand people from LS1.com to LS1 Australia.
These great strands of people and cultures have mixed together extremely well over the years and have produced a forum that is so attractive that you have voted… with your feet… and now, you want to join the ranks of the Validated.
You are welcome.
You are more than welcome… you are needed.
As you will be aware, LS1 Australia is a calm and prosperous society, bound by the rule of the Moderators.
This has not happened by accident. It has happened by design.
In contemporary Australia, LS1 owners make up but a small % of the population. Others, such as Ford and the ricers, a MUCH smaller %.
These figures will show you that, each of you individually, has a responsibility to make LS1 Australia succeed. You are not part of a small minority without influence. You are in fact possessors of great influence and I urge you to use that influence for Australia’s good and not evil.
Firstly, I ask you to urge your friends who don’t own an LS1 to buy one, those who are not validated, to seek out validation. LS1 Australia is
not some kind of international bus stop, where people come to look around for something or to take the information elsewhere. Quite the opposite … LS1 Australia is a destination worth reaching. We are an end in ourselves.
Secondly, I ask you to encourage your family to identify with LS1 Australia. By this, I mean join in LS1 Australia wholeheartedly, not partially. Don’t let a hyphen keep you, psychologically, half out of LS1 Australia. They will be lonely if they don’t as you will spend many hours in front of that “damn blue screen”
Thirdly, I would ask the parents to recognise that your children are now in LS1 Australia and are now LS1 Australians. They will mix with other LS1 Australians who will not have the same Mods or timeslips as you have. This is the nature of LS1 Australian life. You will be helping your children and yourselves… and LS1 Australia… by not opposing this research and development your lives will now follow.
I said, a moment ago, that LS1 Australia welcomes you and needs you. This is vitally true today. The opportunities to Modify your cars are bounded only by personal talent. Remember, its only money and you cant take it with you. The child of LS1 modders can become the next V8 Supercar champion. Many of Australia’s successful businessmen and women arrived in LS1 Australia and now have far less money than you had when you arrived.
No modification is denied to you.
No timeslip is out of reach.
No 60 foot time is too far away.
All that is needed is your own efforts. No-one in LS1 Australia will block you because of your Ford or 4 pot background.
For five years, LS1 Australia has, very successfully operated a policy of openness in sharing their knowledge of mods, supported the sponsors and in turn been supported by them. Our strength and security of our engines can be reinforced if we do not reject these people… but instead,
bring them into our family and harness their talents for our national welfare.
My friends and fellow LS1 Australians, our Engines are a country still under construction. We still have needs that have not been met. We have development work that must be done, we have had problems of oil use and Piston slap that need to be seriously addressed and we need the skills, motivation and ambition of all our people to achieve this. Your participation is
invited.
After today, you will be fully in the mainstream of LS1 Australian life … you are citizens. The best place for you to exercise this new citizenship is within new private forum you now have access to.
Do not be shy and retiring. Take a renewed interest in LS1 Australia, both its past and its future. ( Use the search button)
I urge you to be active in the community. Here in the City of Brisbane we have developed an excellent local community. This success is due to the high degree of enthusiastic participation of community members.
Your local Moderators are energetic and conscientious men and women. You can approach the mods with confidence… they want to hear your comments and your suggestions. Please do not hold back…
Let me finish by urging you all to act as LS1 Australians, with confidence.
No Engine is a perfect thing. Each engine is constructed by deliberate action…
and it rises or falls by the actions of its pistons. Without confidence, we LS1 Australians cannot make power; without confidence, we Australians cannot see the modifications and roads ahead, without confidence, we Australians will be victims of ford and ricers…
We can overcome these problems, both nationally and in our individual lives, by a confident approach to our future. LS1 Australia has enormous resources, both material and personal. After today, those resources, will be even greater.
With confidence we can build on those resources and secure our engines… our souls as a place of peace, prosperity and decency.
With confidence we can help our own forum and its members to overcome problems. With confidence we can pass onto our descendants a forum fit for real and decent LS1 Australians to live in.
All these are our responsibilities… they are now your responsibilities. Let us be worthy of them and let us leave LS1 Australia a better place than we found it.
Looking out at you today, I am sure that this will happen.
Welcome to LS1 Australia! Welcome home!
`Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now validated members of LS1 Australia. This means you are formally identified with this country, its members, and its moderating team. The essential basis of LS1 Australian Citizenship is equality before the law.
Now that you are LS1 Australian Citizens, you all have equal rights, privileges, and responsibilities. LS1 Australia gives to each of us the chance to live and grow in freedom and to share in the common welfare.
In return, we should fulfill our duties as good neighbours and members in this community and in this nation.
This act of validation is now completed and I extend, on behalf of all, my congratulations and best wishes for a happy and successful future as Validated Members of LS1 Australia.
“From this time forward, under Sidewinder, I pledge my loyalty to LS1 Australia and its people, whose
Holden beliefs I share, whose rights and liberties I respect, and whose laws I will uphold
and obey.”
