It will be a perfect run to break in the engine. We never speed on the public road, since a lot of us go to track days regularly and we take our rage there
This is an opportunity to appreciate and admire our car... and prepare some question to throw at us. We know a thing or 2 about our RX-8s.
This post has been written for the gentleman in blue, who intends to wait for us en route.

I guess anywhere at Arthur Seat. Any takers?
I think it is wise to book a table. Someone suggest a place and I will get on to it on Monday.
So far: 8000rpm, astro (?how many), auzoom (?3 or 4), ILIV48 (2), Rix Red8 (?2), RXVIII(?), takahashi (?2), yellowrx8inoz (?2), jormatom (?4).
Report number for booking purposes?

. But then, who don't want to see your RX-7s.... Hey it is going to be the biggest meet ever.
We are equaling the Lake Mountain cruise we have early this year.
Come on guys - make it bigger and better. Pre X'mas chill out before heading off for your long trips.
I am going to find a bistro or a cafe around the arthur seat area. And make a booking for 20 at this stage. Will need to confirm number Thursday 15th. Any suggestion of location please tell me now.

Thanks for RXVIII for the tips
Now I have worked out the route and the place to eat.
I remember that the Rocks at Mornington is a very nice place to eat, plenty of parking and facing the sea. Menu for cafe luncheon is here
So we go AS and round before going to the restaurant (NO 29)
Qestion is clockwise (uphill to AS) or counter clockwise (downhill from AS)
Attendent so far:
8000rpm, astro, auzoom, ILIV48, Rix Red8, RXVIII, takahashi, xatnep, yellowrx8inoz, Zen
dracoMJB??? GOMEZ???

Just 1 for me, taka (my significant other seems happy for me to pursue my car interests solo LOL).
I think uphill to AS would be best. I enjoyed that direction most at Lake Mountain, personally!

Make that one more Taka. Give me an estimate if what time you expect to cruise down Beach Road and I'll join the convoy there as I live in Black Rock.

Hi Rosso,
Cruise down Beach Road for sure... it is ALL ABOUT SHOWING OFF!
Hmmm I think BlackRock stop has to be the clock round about this it??? Beaconsfield road for sure. Just outside Max's La Knick's bike clothes and Kathy Watt's cafe will be great.
I think if we start at 1030 we will be there by 11ish.
Rosso I PM you with my mobile number.

Hmm, Mornington Peninsula....our old stamping ground. We used to live in Mt Eliza. We visited a couple of years back - it was our first long cruise with the 8. Didn't recognize the place, booze bushes everywhere.

Made the reservation at the Rock but I found 3 problems 
1. There is a $10 per head deposite. Money is not a problem (I can pay for it first) but I need a show of hand and numbers.
2. There is a set menu for Xmas; and they are charging $40-50 2 course and $60 3 course. I don't want people to commit for expensive dining when we are just cruising. I need your opinion.
3. I have a look through the menu and identified everyone's need. I remember that yellowozrx8 is a vegeterian and ILIV48 has a bloody strange taste for food (he eats nothing but chicken). ..... EDIT: have not asked if there is kids meal either.
I attached the menu and see how people like it. We can always book a cafe at Mornington main street but we will not be parking together that is all.
EDIT: Just found out that drink is not included... I will tell him to **** off - it is a
that we have to pay that much for a lunch. RIGHT? 
Now Kalli is coming.. bringing her boyboy as well...

I don't really want tp pay $40-$60 for a meal I probably will not eat. I vote for just a cafe where we can order what we like.
Doe's it really matter if we all do not park next to each other. Think of the positives... Now you will be able to seperate the little boy MX5 from the big boys RX8. I would hate Taka disecting your 8's to discover they had caught Pistonitis
