Default QLD XR5 Cruise

Thought this was worthy of its own thread, honestly the biggest cruise i have ever been on. Went from Mt Coot-tha/Mt Nebo/Somerset then up to Caboolture. With a few strays from ozmps (MPS Forum) a total of over 30 cars.
Ended up having a ride in a 400hp CV8 Monaro and a bona fide GTHO Heres a few pics i took, enjoy.

I've never been a fan of the focus or any small cars really, but those two door rs hatches look sweet as.

lol, who buys a falcon for handling, if I hit a sweeping 90 degree bend in the ute at anything over 50km/h it results in understeer, I reckon the same bend and speed in one of these things would have to feel pretty slow. I'm suprised at how many new rs's are still available on carsales, might have to go for a look at the local dealer tomorrow.
