I may not make this one as I hope to be in Perth at the V8's and catching up with an old friend Rosco "the fastest Aussie "on" the planet and hopefully the fastest man "on" the planet when he attempts the LSR in Nevada ( planned for 2008 )

KOUPE76 · 10-02-2007, 10:26 PM

Me thinks that I'll have to pull my finger out and come to this one.

G'day all, just got my membership card in the mail so am hoping this will be my first event, this is all provided my damn car arrives or it will be "Angry Walk #1" :jab: However I think the hardest part will be getting through Melbourne to the start point, I don't like Metro traffic!

Grasshoppr · 14-02-2007, 08:24 AM

tyxr8ute I hope you get your wheels in time. I did notice that you ae waiting on an F6 ute... you wont be dissapointed

We love seeing new members and I know that if you get your car in time you will have an awesome time with us.

Probably the best way to get to the starting point is to get off the ring road and work your way through Greensborogh (sp??) or Eltham as this will avoid most of the city traffic.

Hope we see you there.

I would come down, but i dont think the car i drive would fit in!

Correct you won... lets go now

:

I am working on a new starting technique which seems to be the go to missing some of that lag!!!

MRSXR-8 · 20-02-2007, 02:17 PM

The more the merrier i always say!!! Should be a good day as the roads are very windy & hope you will enjoy the route we take and hopefully we have as many as we did last time!!

If anyone is certain they're going please let me know so i can put your name down.

Thats alright, dont feel bad, i Annihilated a BA XR8 ute the other night, i dont think he was impressed. But im cool with that, line em up again, i can nail the launch well enough to at least get the jump!

On the other side of things, i will come down to have some fun, i might talk to my friends with XR's and convince them to come along!

Xitdxr · 20-02-2007, 05:43 PM

hmmm, i will ask before i do this, i have a few people that i know through the XR5 Turbo club, is it alright if i throw a link to this page? Because i think a few will be interested coming on the run.

GRNKPR · 10-03-2007, 08:35 PM

i might have to wash the ute and come along (it hasnt been washed for 5 months its been undergoing a dirt trial and its going well )

XRLightening · 10-03-2007, 10:48 PM

Sounds like a fun day. I'm in......

As to what I'm driving, well if the weather is good the classic will come out for a drive.

Grasshoppr · 26-03-2007, 11:53 AM

Just wanted to say thanks for another fantastic day to the excellent organisers.

Great roads, great company and great food at the finishing point!

It was even great to be told by a young member that "she was smarter than me!" She is so close to the truth its scary..

MRSXR-8 · 26-03-2007, 12:45 PM

Would just like to thank everyone for coming along to the Wild Run #2 and hope you all enjoyed the run with some very nice & tight windy roads, even had about 4 hairpin corners!! :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_
Mother Nature put on a beautiful day of sunshine. We started off at Bayswater Bunnings car park & drove through the Dandenong Ranges, had a pit stop in Gembrook, then headed off through Cockatoo, Hoddles Creek, Woori Yallock to finish at the Terminius Hotel in Healesville for a very filling pub lunch and heaps of laughter!! It was nice to see some fresh faces too!!

: Someone picked up a new nickname!!????

Spot on Grasshopper (Especially about the 'being smarter" thing

: ! Fabulous day - weather was sensational (lucky it wasn't on Saturday!) with quite a few newbies....... my old girl wasn't ready so had to settle for riding shotgun in a different kind of old girl. But my friends....... that was nothing compared to..... THE MANTIS!!!!!!!!!

:

:
Sensational work to MRSXR-8 for a great day.
The next run is Sunday 15th April and this time we are heading west..... hey so we go from the Wild run #2 (so could be the Wild wild run) to the West run.... does that mean stetsons, chaps and showdowns at 20 paces.... and no naughty comments about the chaps boys and girls.....

GRNKPR · 26-03-2007, 04:13 PM

Perfect weather and would've been a great day but was busy setting race car up forr 22 April .will have to get to the next one

pecker73 · 26-03-2007, 07:13 PM

Yet again.. Another great cruise. Good to see and meet some new members and catch up with the usual suspects.

Thank you to the Wild Bunch for all the planning and arranging for the great weather

XRLightening · 26-03-2007, 08:45 PM

Thanks for orgnising a great run (yet again) MRSXR-8 and co.

The weather was great, the cars looked awesome and we had the pick of the traffic conditions (apart from some interesting motorcycle riders).

The boat may come out again on the WILD WEST Run.

Seagull · 27-03-2007, 01:42 PM

Sorry I missed it . Had a great time at Wanneroo will fill you all in at the next meeting.
Caught up with Australias Fastest Man on Earth Rosco McGlashan. Saw the plans for his new Land Speed Record Challenger and his 300,000hp - thats right I do have the right amount of 0's - rocket engine.Even got a pic of it.Oh was there a race on as well ?

Grasshoppr · 27-03-2007, 03:07 PM

Were you at Wanneroo or Barbagello Seagull?? Maybe your missing a T Seagull

Well Barbagello is at Wanneroo. Great little circuit, very undulating and as there is large run offs on a couple of corners the drivers tend to take it the limit. The esses is the best spot though. The Biante Masters races were great. Watch out for these on TV.
Yes I have been missing the T for quite a while !!!!!

tyxr8ute · 28-03-2007, 12:07 PM

It's a bit late but thanks to everyone for organising the event. It was certainly good to meet you all for the first time! By thye way I managed to get home unscathed to the "WILD WEST" (as some of you have been calling it), I promise you it's not that bad...is it?

Hopefully see you all in the near future!

Cheers
