maybe we can do a mid-late afternoon cruise, so we get the best of "day" & "night" cruise...

won't be able to make it guys, thanks for the invite though...
don't have the 8, and will be away. Until the Pug gets sold privately (which is tough considering we're away the next few w/ends) it'll sit at the dealers, plus there is that little headrest issue...

have a good time though, look forward to the photos

Cheers

How are the plans going?

Can we not start the cruiz in land as that always puts me off. It would be cool if the meeting point is next to a beach um like alittle south like Cronulla and travel along the COAST up towards whatever.

Regards
Phillip

So pricer we have a itinerary set up?

how about after lunch (family stuff out of way).

A drive to Bondi for a pit stop should definately be a good idea since its very open and alot of people will get a nice view of many 8's.


I reckon we should have a vote of seeing all available people that day what time is better before or after lunch?

P.S Handheld UHF should be considered aswell.

We could quite reasonably do both --- cruise around for a while and then hit KK ...

Sounds a go to me!!

What a shame i am working through the whole easter weekend. Would of loved to come. Maybe next time.
The old pacific Hwy is a great drive between Berowra and Brooklyn. Took my 8 their a couple of weeks ago for a drive. Just hope you get no one in front of you that slows you up.
