Brisbane members - lets go for a cruise!

I have noticed a few Brisbane based members getting a little more active on here of late.

I reckon it is time we had another go at a cruise. Anyone want to step up to the plate to organise? Sco? Your last one seemed to hit a bad date.

Lets get a discussion going about a date, and general route. We might even be able to entice Haddoc back into the fold.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee, why not try a mixed cruise?
(My spell-checker STILL wants to change your nick to Hymen. )

LS1 and RX8, if you think you won't embarrass us knuckle draggers.

(13 sec) :D

I'm in.

RichardM... nice to see you know "God's final message to all his creation". Given the number of people in IT on this board I expect someone will quickly nominate the book and author that coined this relationship.

I believe the real quote is "Sorry ABOUT the inconvenience" or something, but I’ve had mine for so long I haven’t changed it. :D

Michael,

Should have put "SE Queensland Members".

Richard, would be happy to hook up with my LS1 buddies.

You musn't have been on Guv's cruise when my car was 2 weeks old, and took a stone from LYTNING's car during some spirited driving when my RX-8, with QIKMICK as a passenger quickly caught up to the 11 sec beast ;p

Glad to see it really is you Richard. My inbox shows me you have posted to some other threads, so I sit here in anticipation...

Cheers,
Hymee.

OT again - RichardM is almost right ... it is "We apologise for the invonvenience"

On topic - So RichardM when are you trading in the big donk for a rotary?

Thanks for the correct quote.

When it will fit 3 full sized teenagers with their cricket in the back seat and tow a trailler full of camping gear.
I think I’ll have an RX8-like car after the kids leave home. (It’ll be an RX30 buy then)

Grammer checker, Richard - "RX30 by then" :p

What? You don't think I'd BUY it?
Technically, (if we accept your outrageous proposition that I made an error) it would be a spelling mistake anyway.

A spell checker wouldn't have picked it - you spelt a word correctly, but you used the wrong word :p

No, the mistake (if indeed there was one) would be the misspelling of the word “by”.

But, I still maintain that the meaning of the sentence "(It’ll be an RX30 buy then)" is that the car I would be buying by the time my kids left home would be an RX30 or some other (as yet fictional) model name.
i.e. It would NOT be an RX8 BUY (by that time) but an RX** BUY then (at that time).

I see that both your understanding and application of the English language have slipped since your move to a non-English speaking country-of-origin mode of transport. :p

I would be interested as well. Is this usually a family outing? I would prefer March 13/14,20/21 or April 3/4.

Thanks Hymee

It can be a family outing. I would not hesitate bringing my family if they wanted to come, not would I hesitate to recommend you encourage yours to come.

March 13/14 is probably a little short notice, but I am open to suggestions... This is a discussion after all. 3/4 April would be out for me (Wakefield on the 2nd).

Cheers,
Hymee.

If we can work towards March 20/21 then that would be great. I will be in Sydney the following weekend for work reasons.

OK, looks like we might have a date... how about a someone suggests an itinerary?

Edit: L&L forced a change of wording - we want this to be a family affair
