Bloody Awesome cruise guys! Loved every second of it, the backroads were amazing and apart from the AU that broke down and had to go back to Sydney and the Silver AU XR6 Ute that went missing the day was a success.
Alot to learn for next time, namely, make sure everyone has someone elses contact details, get a better itinerary up and get more info from each club.
I have to appologize greatly to that AU ute, I don't know what happened to him.

But I look forward to the next cruise and if there are any more pics of the Ice Mint Monty PM me!

Had an awesome day - here's some various pics of the Euroford guys and my rather un-euro Ford!
















And the video to come shortly. It's tame because it's a public road, but I had some fun with the Sports shift in 1st and Second!! Sounds great coming off the walls, even with the windows closed!!

So what you are asking is if you have an automatic licence even if it is upgraded to manual automatically can it be upgraded manually by sitting for a manual test and if passed the automatic licence is automatically upgraded but if failed is the automaic licence automatically failed as well and do you have to read the road safety manual to sit for the manual upgrade or does the automatic licence test of the road safety manual automatically cover the manual test as well?

It was a great run. Thanks to everyone who came along. It was a great mix of fords small, large and loud. The backroad between lithgow and bathurst was lots of fun, tho some of the roads were a bit adventurous. It was a great opportunity to wind out the XR4 and give it hell. Did pretty well keeping up in corners but hats off to the Toxic GT owner putting his foot down on the straights

I remember seeing a purple flash coming behind me about 1km away overtaking a few Falcons and within seconds I hear the nice sound of a Turbo XR6 flying past at some awesome speed. Cant remember the plates XR6 04T it hink but bloody hell you were moving. Awesome Sound.

Top of the mountain was top. Booooooooooo to that holden driver and thumbs up to the keen skateboarder.

Anyways cant wait for the next one.

Great day, Great to catch up with those i havnt seen for a while.
What?! No! Its such a sexy car!! I could just sit behind it and listen to it all day, we'll have to organise another cruise before you sell it.

Yeah i know, but it spends more time in the shed than on the road.
Which means i steal the Mrs car most of the time and she wont drive it... LOL
She's scared of it :P

It a part of life and parenthood, sooner or later, you got to make a sacrifice :rolleyes:
I'll get another toy later on...
But upgrading will be a nice thing, Im enjoying the newer car creature comforts

Just having a little fun! Not a lot you can do at 60km/h but the XR8 under load up hills in 2nd gear sounds pretty darn sexy, even if it is stock as a rock!

Thanks to my cameraman extraordinaire Ivan too!! Top job.
