Before new year is a no go for me

So a tentative yes for me!




List:
1. Ryzz
2. Roonstain - if in new year

[GTOcoupe]

depending on the date yes i'll come.

[JA SV8]

depending on the date and the allowance of a ford i will come :P

[MickmeMate]

Im up for it once dates confirmed:)

[bok1]

will be there.


phil

[Raptor6L]

Yeah.....why not. Date pending, but count me in.

[SHANESVZSS]

sounds good count me in

[UTESRULE]

sounds good pending date

[troytroy]

I might even come along to meet some guys....plus by then I should be bored sh**less after the hype of xmas....:)

[steve82]

I'm in if the date doesn't conflict with a bucks party and wedding I have on in the new year!!

[Roonstain]

So Ryzz, any ideas on a date?
Maybe a weekday early new year so that the roads may be slightly less busy?
Just throwing ideas out there!
I hope it is on a day that i can make it!

[Lexx]

I'm interested depending on dates. if you manage to set a firm date, I'd like to see if I can come :cool:

[Luke_]

Sounds good Ryan, cruise from where to where or is it specific for you northern-beach people :)

[Daves8]

Im in..... and i would bet that Fat06l will be in too.... he never misses a cruise!

Maybe we can meet somewhere out north west, and cruise into Palm Beach?

[Ryzz]

Im in..... and i would bet that Fat06l will be in too.... he never misses a cruise!

Could always wonder out to Castle Hill, or further west if need be. Anyone can come, just an excuse for the Northern beaches people to stop being lazy and meet each other!

Dave: Can you remember if they have BBQ's at Palmy or is it BYOBBQ

[cnnonyx]

Not that I know anyone on here, but if a date is provided, I spend a lot of time with a fellow VE SSV Ute owner in the Northern Beaches - I would come down for a sticky beak and quick hello!

[Ryzz]

All the more reason to come along mate, we are a friendly bunch......most of the time :)

[Ryzz]

Sounds good Ryan, cruise from where to where or is it specific for you northern-beach people :)

Hey Luke, as I mentioned, anyone can come, where would be a ideal meeting place for yourself to meet up and wonder out to Palm Beach?

[Ryzz]

Maybe a weekday early new year so that the roads may be slightly less busy?
Just throwing ideas out there!
I hope it is on a day that i can make it!

Happy to make it early in the NY, probably better as Xmas will pretty busy and then the lead up to NY's is just as busy. Maybe second weekend of NY?? Saturday 9th/Sunday 10th Jan??

[Roonstain]

Pretty sure that is summernats weekend - i still don't know whether I will bother to go or not
But I think that sounds like a better time to do it as the Xmas/NY traffic would have subsided at least a little by then

I would be coming up from wollongong - as mentioned earlier, somewhere like castle hill or anywhere would be good - i'll leave it up to you!

[bush_basha]

depending on date id be keen, tho not if its summernats weekend

[Scommo]

Would you guys allow a MERCEDES vito to come, its turbo. .

[Daves8]

Ryzz, i dont think they have BBQs.....

I thought summernats was later this year - like 19th or something?

[bush_basha]

I thought summernats was later this year - like 19th or something?

nah 7th-10th

[Ryzz]

Ok, date change, 7-10th is Summernats, maybe the following weekend instead? 16/17th Jan instead??

[SV91]

Add me as well, allways keen for a cruise!

[cnnonyx]

All the more reason to come along mate, we are a friendly bunch......most of the time :)

hmmmm, seeing some of the arguing that happens on here, Im not so sure :rofl:

But sounds good - date pending, I will be there! Xmas is a rather hectic period, who knows where I will be, and what condition I will be in :smilesandbanana:

[Roonstain]

That sounds like a good date to me - and it shouldnt be double demerits then either!

I hope i can get my cam in the car by then!!

[FAT06L]

as if youd cruise to the northern beaches... full of wankers! lol

yeh i will be there... and YES there are BBQs at Palm Beach near the golf course!

[SHANESVZSS]

Ok, date change, 7-10th is Summernats, maybe the following weekend instead? 16/17th Jan instead??


that weekend is fine for me..looking forward to it

[Stevieboy34]

Provided I am not in Whilster with work I am in! Strike me up. (I live in Neutral Bay)

[nthnbeachesguy]

I might even still be in town around that time, wouldn't mind doing it but will have to wait and see. Couple of things to take into account, that time of year at Palmy is damn busy, might want to look at getting someone up there to stake a claim on a bbq by 11am. Also not a hell of a lot of parking there anymore, I have seen that joint so crowded it was worse than a westfield on Xmas eve. There are other parts of Palmy that are a lot nicer and less popular as long as that enormous bunch of morons otherwise known as catamaran enthusiasts aren't stuffing the whole place up.

[Raptor6L]

There are other parts of Palmy that are a lot nicer and less popular as long as that enormous bunch of morons otherwise known as catamaran enthusiasts aren't stuffing the whole place up.

So what is your suggestion? If parking is going to be an issue then we probably should try and find a place where we aren't going to be scattered all over the place.

[Strick]

ill be up for this, if im not in newey organising wedding things ill be there

[JA SV8]

So what is your suggestion? If parking is going to be an issue then we probably should try and find a place where we aren't going to be scattered all over the place.

How about Mona Vale beach? If its not packed there is heaps of parking and there are BBQs at Apex park. Or there is Newport beach i think they have BBQs, or Whale beach.. maybe not for the low low cars though.

[keen]

Depending on the date......and if im having a bad hair day or not, i will be there. What about between chrisy and new year.....

[Stevieboy34]

Preferably not the low car unfriendly spots hehe:bawl:

[RICECOOKER]

sounds good to me chuck me on the list

[FAT06L]

yeh whale beach is a no go! too much of a shit fight...

Mona Vale beach is a good spot with plenty of parking as is Newport Beach. both have BBQs!

or around at MrCarrs Creek there is plenty of parking and BBQs.

[Luke_]

Yes, anywhere with steep incline driveways and big speedhumps is a no-go.

[JA SV8]

Was thinknig McCarrs Creek, but they are wood bbqs which maybe a no go, depending on Total Fire Bans and the fact we would need to bring wood for it. But there is heaps of parking and a great setting down there.. Anyone got a gas BBQ?

[MickmeMate]

Yes i can go that weekend cant wait should be good to finally get validated.lolAlso i will have my DiFillipo headers and Ballistic cats fitted by then getting done next week at Marrano's

[Ryzz]

Why dont we just burn the ford and use that to cook the food!? :stick: :stick:

[SHANESVZSS]

just throwing suggestion out there..but how about something like Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park?? to far??

[Ryzz]

just throwing suggestion out there..but how about something like Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park?? to far??

Nothings too far, was just thinking by a beach would be nice.

[JA SV8]

just throwing suggestion out there..but how about something like Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park?? to far??

McCarrs Creek is in Ku-ring-gai NP. There is also Akuna Bay, but you must pay to get there, they have elecy BBQs though.

[JA SV8]

Why dont we just burn the ford and use that to cook the food!? :stick: :stick:

Nag they don't burn all that well :P I can think all that nice plastic bodykit on your HSV would go nicly :) :smilesandbanana:

[Daves8]

Someone mentioned getting validated - how does one do that?

Is it just merely meeting a mod or several members and proving you have a car?

[Ryzz]

Hey Dave, I can vouch for you, but you need 2 people to vouch for you to be moderated. Drop me a PM if you know anyone else on here and we can see what we can work out.

[MickmeMate]

Im still waiting for Sonny to vouch for me which as i can see isnt happnin any time soon lol. Na he's a busy bloke at the moment i guess ill just have to wait till the cruise

[MJR-57T]

Ive had a quick scan through, where's the cruise starting point??
I wouldn't mind coming along
One of my mates has just bought one of the Limited Edition SSV Ute's so ill see if he want's to come too, he cant drive it for another 2 weeks untill he gets his full licence and hopefully he passes by the 17th or ill be driving it for him

Have not thought that far ahead, nor have we figured out the finishing point either :doh:

We cant rush these things, hopefully by the day after the cruise, we will have elected start and finish points :rolleyes:

[MJR-57T]

haha well keep us posted

[Redliner]

Sounds good to me . Add me to the list

[JA SV8]

Ryzz we could have a few meeting points, as i know some people said Castle Hill, maybe people that way can meet there, then meet up with some of us who are on the beaches a little closer, maybe just after the exit of the M2 or something?
Not that i can think of anywhere suitable for a stop.. Lane Cove NP?

[ti0350]

I should be able to make it be will definately know closer to the date, about time I met a few of you guys the only person I've ever met from the forum was Steve from Oztrack when he tuned my car..

[Sonny@Autowerks]

Count me in for this ryzz,do you have to have a commodore to engage in this cruise :lol:

[Daves8]

Count me in for this ryzz,do you have to have a commodore to engage in this cruise :lol:

Are you going to bring the Hilux sonny?

[FAT06L]

perfect your coming. might need to speak about booking my car in for a big cam or turbo package in late Jan early Feb!

[Daves8]

Sick of losing mate? LOL

Your car will be a weapon with a big cam and stall!!!!

[FAT06L]

sick of only just beating a much heavier car with bigger wheels and less power? hahaha

new wheels should be on in the 3rd week of Jan... cant wait to be unemployed! hahaha

so we have a date yet?

[Ryzz]

so we have a date yet?
Read the first post :stick:

Saturday 16th or Sunday 17th Jan 2010 :goodjob:

[Raptor6L]

Well may as well get a start on that, i suppose. :)

I'm thinking a meeting point at the Macca's just after the airport tunnel on General Holmes Drive, Mascot for people coming in from the south, like me. The M5 East finishes and blends in with GHD just before the tunnel, so peoples from the south-west can meet there also, and it is a fairly straight forward run from there.

Yes/ no/ other suggestions....

Cheers
Chris

Hey guys, sorry ive been a little busy of late. Cruise is a goer.
Sunday 17th Jan 2010

Lets get an idea of where people are coming from so we can organise a few different meeting places. The end point will hopefully be Palm Beach.

[SHANESVZSS]

i'll be coming from hoxton park , but im not fussed about where we meet , what ever is easy for everone else is easy for me..

[Strick]

Coming in from the sutherland shire, hopefully the rain stays away

[Raptor6L]

Sweet. Coming from Caringbah myself. I mentioned a meeting place near the airport tunnel in an earlier post, but it involves cashless tolls for E.D and Harbour Tunnel to go north from there. Some people aren't geared for that, so i'm happy to meet people coming up from the south wherever.

Just noticed your post Strick. We can meet up at Taren Point or something if you'd like?

[NIXON]

Will be coming from the central coast, can meet other coasties at ourimbah rest area if they are keen?

[Strick]

no worries raptor6L, maybe the good guys car park. heaps of space and theres traffic lights there now. Anyone else coming from the area let us know.

ill also be going through the tolls to get to where the cruise starts, too hard no too. much much eaiser

[FAT06L]

i will probably just meet you guys at palmy. its only down the road from mine.

[Ryzz]

i will probably just meet you guys at palmy. its only down the road from mine.
