NSW: Cruise

[Fev]

was a great day.. although i wish i took a camera... :(

was a good fun enthusiastic drive all the way, the food was ok(ive had better for less..) but you get that.. good meeting you all, i cant wait for the next one(or fuel prices to go down..) my car definately feels a little more responsive now its lungs have been opened

with those pot holes, i was half expecting my window to get cracked pretty early on and i was a little worried about gooses 19s aswel as the others but everything worked out fine..but yeh.. those holes were in huge

[HLC]

sounds like it was an awesome day. ill make the next one hahahaha

[EFDream]

sounds like it was a blast guys.....hope to have the xr8 up and running for the next one.....

[Pup_87]

the only thing i can say is that i totally agree with the other boys who hav put things up about 2day.

Even though it was cold it was a fantastic day.

i certainly hope those holes are filled by the time we go back up there.

From my count there were 14 when we left Maccas and i think 2 ppl dropped out when we hit Lithgow.

Idea for the next one, head down south???

: : : : :

Hi All,


Yer had an sbsolute cracker of a day today.

All up we had 15 cars today, which is an absolute ripper of a number!!!

It was great to look in the mirror and see a long line of beaut rides. Some new faces and it was great to see Steve (Geeseman) and his 390KW monster, ozemale, mate, thats a tops looking ride too!!!! Evan, Dave (forgot a few names, I'm sorry), great to see you guys too.
Hope you will hang around!

Roads were fantastic and everybody got a chance to stretch the legs, which was great.

It is a really good sight, when you see so many cars (and the bseries events getting larger and larger), as well as so many people having a great time together.

Roll on the next event..

Cheers
Ben

Ditto to all the above posts - as a cruise-virgin it was a great way to start. Thanks to the regulars for making us newbie's feel welcome - it's good to be able to put faces to names/cars now. Good job on the state-of-the-road calls from the front of the pack too Ben - top shelf effort.

The only downside of the day is that I spent the whole drive home thinking of what I need to mod to keep up better next time... the financial controller (aka wife) won't be happy.

is this the cruise that was at Mt Panorama, today, ??? Iam a local, and saw some nice cars there, is this the same cruise, ?? I was talking there for a few minutes, but had to get going , thanks

[Ruger]

Hi Peter T you would be thinking of another forums cruise not ours mate not as much sneezing and sniffling and all the things you would hear in the doctors waiting room going on ;)

[Peter T]

Cool, thanks for that, !! any ideas, which one, ?? I was doing my usual couple of sunday morning laps, and it looked like they were doing a bit of "Youtube" thing, which I thought may be worth a look, ?? LOL, thanks

[The G6ET Spot]

Good to hear that you all had a good day. Will definately make the next one.

Ahh the Oberon RSL, maybe it's lucky I didn't come along. They might have thrown me out of there again !! : :

[Airmon]

Great day guys, the corners weren't too harsh and there were plenty of places to stretch the ol monty's legs. Although didnt get much of a chance, was stuck behind some turbo most of the way :P :
All in all it was dead set awesome, and thanks go out to Bluehoon for organising it and keeping everyone intact, in one piece and in line. Cheers mate!!
And yes, Down south next time :evil3:

[bdave351]

Yup thanks for organising it, well worth the trip for the day.

Know what to expect for the next one now.
(Just hope I dont need my thermal underwear again!)

[bigAl]

What an excellent cruise it was, had lots of fun as usual, nice rds , met some new faces. awesome time.
Oh and the pictures of people in wow of my engine bay.....

[Grum]

[1TUFXR]

Was fantastic Ben....Well organised champ !!! My only two regrets are (1) wish i stayed on with you guys a bit longer but paranoid about losing my front bar on some of those tracks (you guys know me by now !!!!) and (2) that I didn't take any pics before I left you guys at Lithgow..bought my camera too with 2 sets of batteries but forgot !!!! Great to put names to faces

And without any disrepect to anyone, while all the Falcs looked fantastic my pick of the bunch (apart from my car...ha ha) was the Phantom XR6 Turbo with the hot looking rims (can't remember which member owned it) but love that car !!!! especially nice looking at it in my rear view mirror !!!


Cheers
Pete

Thanks Ben for a great day, and to everyone else for that matter.
Im not sure if I saw any potholes on this trip but i did manage to dodge every crater in the road, there where some massive holes hey.

It is sad to say that I will have to give that cruz destination a miss next time as the ute bottomed out on almost every bump in the road, and I didn't like being at the end of the pack due to this. :

A trip down to kiama or Nasho sounds like a top idea for the next cruz, there are some nice roads to be had, OH and did I mention the views.

[Mechan1k]

Those pics look like they were taken at Bilpin ... sorry I couldn't make it ... was looking after the wife after big night on the wine ... a lot of cleaning up was needed.

There was talk of starting in Narellan then heading the back way through Camden - Picton - Bargo - Yerrinbool - Mittagong... then over to the coast and back up through the Nat. Park, ending up at Liverpool for Krispy Kreme's. Sounds like a good run and I'll be a sure starter if/when it happens.

Im up for the next cruz, but im not to sure about those krispy kremes tho, It was the first time I've ever eaten that crap, and yes it made me feel sick.

Bluehoon, I can hear you laughing right now ssshhhh lol : : : :togo:

[Airmon]

Don't worry mate, Krispy Kremes are terrible, and expensive, but mostly terrible. And if you keep eating them you might end up like Ben.......A Turbo owner. :O

Down South sounds good to me!! It'll be nice to not have to wake up an early to travel an hour for once for a cruise.
Are we thinking before or after the AFF Dyno day?

[Bluehoon]

Probably do a run late July or early August I reckon, however it's up to everyone here..

AFF dyno day, who is coming????


If people know the southern roads well, hey, map one out and let's get it happening!!!

One last thing.. All this mention os heading and going south is a wee bit of a concern... Is there something you southern boys aren't telling us????

lol....If I"m able to come I'm going to be waking up friggin early to get there to then have a cruise....lol

[Bluehoon]

Phil, we have a mini meet mate. Silverwater maccas.... Some coffee and bacon & egg muffins in the tank to survive the trip down there...

Don't forget your banjo....

[XRDRIFT]

By the way, when is that dyno day at Autotech, cant find thread, maybe blind too?

I will be attending the day though, want to see how much power my XR6T really has with a fully operational clutch

It hit 199.74 rwkw on C&v's rollers last year with a worn clutch and did my PB of 13.924 with it too : It will sound fully 'sIcK' with the dogbox :

[bigAl]

its the 11th of august, which is a saturday

[HLC]

im deffo up for the next cruise provided im not working, i wanna go on a run with you b series nutters hahahah

[Airmon]

If I dont participate in the Dyno Day I'll probably hang around anyway. I should be able to make it, when is the cut off for the deposits?
