I wish SBS would get with da program.

Mind you, it's good to have it at all I guess.

I got a Top Gear DVD as part of the Father's Day haul. Just a collection of segments from the show (some of which I'd seen before) but it was still a good laugh. Does anyone remember the Toyota diesel ute they tried to kill?

Topic, what topic? Everyone who's going doesn't need more info.

 

Woohoo Air Support!!!

Missed that one Mr K...yard is pretty big but plenty of trees!!! Bring it along, we can always lob down the oval which is about 250 metres away!

 

no...... me is still a sydney man..... respkt

no...... me is waiting for the perfect oppotunity to replace it with a new toy

 

Okay I've got a tiny (wireless, colour video) camera rigged on my chopper too I guess we could take some aerial shots of the cars too

 

I smell me some 'gator coming our ezzy's way!!!!!!

no, i think i will be willing to put up with a black one......

 

red one's overpriced!

 

but it goes faster....

 

Hey Gibbo, can you make it this Saturday?

8 is a better number than 7.

 

Yep I am in, but only for the drive, I'll have to bail after Glaston Gorge. I won't be able to make Mike's place.

Cheers and look forward to seeing you then

 

Good to hear Gibbo.

Okay, I have fleshed out a few details of the route and the general plan in the first post of this thread, so have a look and get a feel for where we're going. Can't promise anything because some of it is new territory for me too, but it should be a good run.

Obviously, it's not cast in stone and if anybody wants to change some aspect of it, feel free to speak up when we meet tomorrow.

As on the last cruise, we won't be **** about keeping in precise formation because everyone knows where we're going and where the major stops will be. We will keep other stops to a minimum unless someone pipes up on the CB's that they've been held up badly somewhere, taken a wrong turn (or need to attend to something!!).

And if all else fails, we'll get kunz to turn his sat-nav on again.

Look forward to seeing you guys/gals there tomorrow.

 

Sorry guys. Can't make it. Something came up rather late.

Have a good one and get some pics.

Safe driving!

 

Sorry to hear that Tuan. Hope she's pretty.

 

And friendly!!!!

Tuan, we'll ensure we don't have tooooooo much fun!!!!

 

Apologies here as well

Wish I could make it but will have to look forward to the next one.
Have a good drive.

C.

 

...and then there was 6.

Sorry to hear that Chris.

Oh well, we won't have any trouble keeping 'everyone' together.

 

Hi Guy's
Hope the cruise went well, we lost a close friend yesterday and the family is in a bit of shock. Beers at the ranch next time i promise.
Mike

 

Sincere condolences from all of us here at rx8club Mike. A tragedy.

 

Fun cruise today but Sydney's Saturday traffic didn't disappoint and we only had limited opportunities to zoom zoom.

We were down to 5 in the end. A LY, my Ti, a WB and two VR's. All had mods of one sort or another so it was fun to compare notes and ooh and ahh over some of the trickier stuff.

We waited for you at Hornsby Otto, so sorry if we missed you.

From Hornsby we went up Galston Road and onto Old Northern Road to Wiseman's. Couldn't get near the pub parking-wise so we ended up patronising the Bowlo. Turned out to be the better option methinks. Plenty of room to park, cheap beer and a decent bistro.

After that we attempted a loopy return but yours truly got us lost near Pittown. Turned out to be a good excuse to attack some backroads with Gibbo calling oncoming traffic at point.

We parted ways after that and I had a fun blat back home on some roads I'd never been on before.

A few cameras there so hopefully we'll see some photos soon.

Gibbo has plans for a track day so keep an eye out for a thread. We also talked about having a RC car/helicopter/plane/rocket/thermo-nuclear device day (mainly to check out Gibbo's nitro truck and kunz' helicopter, so again, keep an eye out if you wanna join in.

Thanks for coming guys - good to see you all again.

 

Sorry to hear that Mike - a real tragedy indeed.

Cruise was great as always, thanks for organising it Dave. We had a small group but it was still awesome! Thank you to everyone who turned up. It was great to meet Gibbo and check out his sweet rims + exhaust I had a blast watching you drive with such enthusiasm mate and I'm really looking forward to the track day!

After Dave and Gibbo went their separate ways, Sung Hoon (playa78), Eric (Ironhead) and I swapped cars for a bit to see how different our cars were in terms of performance and handling.

I think we've convinced Eric that the RP shortshifter should be the next mod on his agenda :P so Hymee, feel free to send the commission in the mail to me. (I'll split it with Sung Hoon )

I've taken pics, will upload as soon as I get the chance.
