New Year Cruise - NSW

whippet_zetec · 06-01-2005, 08:12 AM

HI Guys and Girls,

The new year has started and was wanting to gauge interest in doing the first cruise for 2005.

No plans set yet so suggestions are welcome, will see what interest there is and take it from there.

Possible dates are 29th/30th Jan, 5th/6th Feb....

Timmeh · 06-01-2005, 09:08 AM

As you're aware, but others might not be, I'll be in the Northern Territory. :(

Will a NSW meet kick off without me? ;)

Make the most of the summer!

Tim

whippet_zetec · 06-01-2005, 09:12 AM

well I am more than happy to get one happening, even if you are missing Tim. We will just take a heap of pics and post them up for you so you can see what you are missing out on :P

Cypher · 06-01-2005, 03:48 PM

I am in if it is going out of Sydney (as I am in Canberra)...let us know and I will be there.

We need a route with lots of twisties!!

whippet_zetec · 06-01-2005, 04:02 PM

The 6th of Feb is o.k. for me, guys. You're most welcome to come and check out the roads up here the Mountains. Perhaps a quick run over the Bells Line of Road via Springwood Road to Yarramundi? We can meet at McDonalds at Eastern Creek on the M4. What are your thoughts?

whippet_zetec · 11-01-2005, 05:15 PM

OK....so lets book in Sunday 6th then?....

So far we will have RUss, Fast Eddie, Myself (Whippet). Lotsy could be a goer.

We know Tim is out on vacation in Darwin.

whippet_zetec · 28-01-2005, 07:53 AM

OK GUYS,

Now its time to get serious, who is in and who is out, Fast Eddie and myself are keen to get a cruise happnening on the 6th FEB....at the moment Eddie has suggested a cruise starting at the twin servo's on the M4 @ Blacktown going up through the mountains.

Alternate to that we can get a coast road trip going to make the day more accesible for Newcastle poeple.

And for those who are uninitiated, it may be a euroford cruise but we are happy to have along any others fords that want to join in. The days are relaxed and we like to enjoy each others company. For pics of past cruises check out www.eurofordclub.com

Expressions of interest post below....we can do this folks, Tim might not be coming along but he will be ecstatic to see we can get one going without him, plus we can jam his inbox with pics...

lotsy · 29-01-2005, 01:43 PM

A coast trip might be better I think. We can't make it if it is the mountains trip only because of early work commitments the following day. I'll try and get a hold of a few other fiesta's in newy. In relation to other cars coming do they have to be euro fords coz i might have a few interested parties.

Pieoter · 30-01-2005, 09:49 AM

I would very much like to come along but chances are that my car will be having a sound system installed in it. But im a very open person and will still try to make it down.

Put me down as 50/50. I will know more about all the dates on monday.

whippet_zetec · 30-01-2005, 04:12 PM

the cars do not have to be eurofords for the cruise.....its a day to get out and have some fun so others are welcome....

lotsy · 31-01-2005, 09:25 AM

Could we please change the cruise to a coastal cruise, I have messaged some of the new newy people and the original run is just going to be way to much. PLEASE!!

whippet_zetec · 31-01-2005, 03:25 PM

Yep, we can do coastal......re-do the old pacific highway to terrigal (always a fun road with some good photo ops).....

lotsy · 01-02-2005, 11:36 AM

Sounds good, but did you want to make a turn off and head down around ettalong beach/booker bay/blackwall area?

whippet_zetec · 01-02-2005, 12:57 PM

Alrighty Guys & Girls....Executive Decision Time

Start: 6th FEB (this weekend) 9:00am @ Thornleigh Maccas (always a favourite meeting place)

Depart Thornleigh, head up the old PACIFIC HIGHWAY through Berowra, Cowan, Brooklyn, Mt White, Mooney Mooney Creek through to Point Clare where we will TURN DOWN WOY WOY ROAD through to either ETTALONG BEACH or for those interested PATONGA. (We may choose some stops on the way for photos and we can work these out as we go along).

Lunch (there are plenty of shops around)

Bring your swimmers if so inclined, then depart and head home when you feel like it.

Dont forget to bring along your UHF if you have one, camera if you want some pics, and your sense of direction/humor for a fun day out.

For the definites please add in your post below so I know I am not going to head up to Thornleigh and nige it. If anyone has any questions feel free to fire away.

WASACL · 02-02-2005, 10:52 AM

Count me in on this one... How many we got?

Russ

lotsy · 02-02-2005, 11:27 AM

Angry and myself will be there, providing that ford has finished with my car!

whippet_zetec · 02-02-2005, 11:33 AM

Fast Eddie emailed me and he will be there too....Pioter was interested but was waiting to see how his stereo was going...

am trying to rustle up a few more....

lotsy · 02-02-2005, 11:35 AM

Mitch is up for a cruise so just wait and see want his reply will be there is another newy chic but she is hard to get a hold of.

mitch_lx · 02-02-2005, 12:04 PM

I will have to see about the cruise, im really REALLY strapped for cash at the moment due to optus double charging 2 monthly phone bills and saying there is nothing that i can do about it because apparently i didnt pay last months bill which is bollocks!!!
So angry right now, so poor right now lol

Pieoter · 02-02-2005, 05:19 PM

Unfortunatly I can't make it as I am going to be busy that day. The stereo goes in on the 18th as some parts need to be ordered.

Fast Eddie · 02-02-2005, 08:00 PM

Hi guys & girls,

I've FINALLY made my way onto the new site. I still don't know how I did it!! As Todd mentioned, I'll be there. Hope to meet some of the new members too.

Fast Eddie.

whippet_zetec · 04-02-2005, 08:27 AM

alrighty...we have the usual crew up for this one (good to see guys).....if you know anyone else that wants to tag along for the day let them know they are welcome.

other than that see you at Thornleigh at 9:00am Sunday, in the carpark feeding the Maccas diet.

Teki04 · 04-02-2005, 06:31 PM

Hey all, only new to this site.... but i have a Ford Fiesta Zetec (www.cardomain.com/id/teki04) and was just wondering, what is the expected time of arrival for the cruise? Also, about how many cars usually go?
Cheers

Nice colour fiesta, looks good with those rims too. Make sure you check out www.eurofordclub.com for pics and other stuff on the club.

tomorrows cruise starts around 9:00am, everyone is meeting at that time give or take a few minutes on either side. If you have a UHF bring it along too as it makes it easier to direct turns along the way. The cruise will go as described above, we should be on the central coast by lunchtime, have a bite to eat, take some pics, have a chat then leave when you feel like.....

we are all pretty easy going and are a relaxed crew.

Fast Eddie · 05-02-2005, 02:32 PM

Hi Teki04,

Welcome! Have a look at Post #17. Thornleigh Macca's on Pennant Hills Road. We usually stop along the way to take photo's etc. So we should be having lunch at our destination. Usually a half-dozen or so members are present (some Focus and some Fiesta owners) We take things as they come and definately don't do anything stupid. Hope to see you there!!, Fast Eddie.

WASACL · 05-02-2005, 05:29 PM

Guys what road is the maccas on just so i can find it again!!!

Thanx Russ

zetec · 05-02-2005, 06:28 PM

Russ ya knob, look up!
