phillip

 

Ill only be able to come for an hour or so because too much family parties etc.. but is it still on for friday or now sunday?

 

I've seen quite a few drivers here, but I've never actually talked to anybody, save for the person who told me to join up here. But I'd like to come and get to meet some other 8-owners.
TR to Princes Highway has my two cents. I'll be there with my titanium and I'll be leaving around 6:20. More details~

 

how about contact details (eg mob. no) Pricer, so we can contact just in case we get lost or need to update etc? is there a carpark at the Art Gallery meeting point?

Sounds like a well organised cruise! Well done Pricer01!!

The radios will be invaluable. Just make sure 8 is not "reserved" for the emergency channel or anything - I'm not sure.

Have fun tomorrow guys!

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Hey this sounds better

I got a good soccer injury from training, I got carried away stepping past defenders that i stepped past the boundary of my muscle Im a bit limpy limpy but its on the accelerator leg so thats a good thing for double demerits.

Hope its a good day so i get a chance to wash my car in the morning

If all my servers have a good day today and tomorrow i will be very fresh and ready for the drive if not i will be grumpy so no one talk to me Just kidding.

Silver RX8 number plates start with RXX-

 

yup, it will be the first kind of any club drive for me, so very much looking forward to all you fellow rx-8 drivers and have a good drive =) I'm a red rx8 with AQA-62M (6+2=8 mazda? =) plate.
btw, do we need to have a radio? should I goto Dicksmith and buy one today??

 

Pricer mate, i wont be able to attend the drive but will definately meet up with you guys at KK's 9pm.

Sorry about this guys but im italian and my grandmother will kill me if i dont go and eat lunch/spend time etc..

Phillip

 

yeah I got Digitech one from a friend for the day :D
one of u will need to teach me how to use it though.. kekek

 

family matters Ageo :D

 

Guys would this do

Uniden UH-040XR Pocket Communicator
Keep in touch with this new pocket sized UHF Family communicator. It's crisp, clear transmissions and 40 UHF channels provide up to 3km outdoor line of sight range, with no airtime costs or user license required.

 

Its in the range "pardon the pun" but like all of these small units, the 3km claim is a bit rich.

I think supercheap autos have some well priced models too.

 

I have the 2 watt version of the one Choppy posted. Better range for when the cruise convoy is a few k's long. And that doesn't take much to happen

 

hey guys,cant make the drive but will be at kk at 9pm....it should be a great turn out..save me a parking spot at kk:D ..
see you all there....

 

I got the 2watt one too http://www.uniden.com.au/v3/product.asp?ID=229&Group=2

Could not let Hymee out do me

Phillip
