S.A January 21 Day cruise.

[vxtreem]

So who is interested.

As we get closer and a decent number of people I will work out a route and if anyone has some suggestions you are more than welcome to PM me.

Cheers

Chris

[Ricky]

I am up for a cruise that day.

[Carrots]

POssibly a yes. Meant to be in Berri on the Sat night for a 30th bday shindig so depends what time and where to etc.

[VZSSDEVILYEL]

yes

i am in for a first time cruise

cheers

[hyper 8]

at this stage we will come for a run and test out the new tune and exhaust :evil:

dave

[MISS WK]

Yes, Count me in.

I love a day cruise, be good to have a lunch stop/bbq to get to know a few people maybe?

[team illucid]

Well now I have the SS here I will say sure for a while.

[VYSSBlack]

Ill be there. I also have a mate who just purchased a VYSS who will come along too.

[Toddler78]

ill be in for some round about fun:driving: :yahoo:

[vxtreem]

Looking good for numbers already.

As a note if the temp is over the 35c mark on the day we will give it a miss.

[zacz]

I should be ok for that day as well!

:driving: :driving: :driving: :driving:

[EVL350]

probably will come depending on how big the night before ends up being.

[VX_SS_II]

Sounds like this will be a good one by the numbers!

I hope to come along, have a 21st the night before, but at this stage I'm in too...

[berroca]

Yep i am free also, count me in for a definite :)

should be a good one, fingers crossed on the weather....did i just jinx it?? lol

[hyper 8]

who cares what the temp is, that is what air con is for. We should do the hill cruize that we use to do a few years back. Meet in town then head to birdwood, stop for a drink then of to mt barker. And through to strath for lunch, and if people are still keen head to victor. Lots of straights and corners, not for the faint hearted. Hopfully there might be some of the members from a few years ago that might show up to.

Dave:demon:

I'll second that, sounds great.

Have a mate with a Supercharged 6 (VX) that may come along too. He wants to see how it goes against mildly modded LS1's (he hasnt had it long, i havent even seen it!!).

[Brass Munky]

If im in adelaide i try score a ride with someone again, im in the mood for some photography lol

[VY_SS_Commodore]

count me in

[vxtreem]

Numbers are looking good peoples.

Thanks for the suggestions dave, a lunch/drinks stop sounds the goods. The plan is to satisfy everyones needs as far as a route goes.
Can't wait.:driving: :driving: :driving:

[GoldenKnight]

I should be able to make this one. Missed the last couple.

Will see if a mate with a vz ss is keen too.

Mark

[team illucid]

I will have the whole family with me as well - any other SAers bring their family on these events?

[MISS WK]

I will have the whole family with me as well - any other SAers bring their family on these events?

I will have my kids with me , two boys and a girl, they love going on day cruises to catch up with other kids during the stops.

Hopefully this won't just be all Hill Climbing.
I hate cruises that you can't enjoy your journey, because you are too busy concentrating on unfamiliar steep and narrow bends, that some cruise co-ordinators seem to find challenging.
Would you mind giving us a rough idea when you finish planning the route, so that I can decide whether I will attend or not.( I'm not trying to be a Piker, it's just that I enjoy a cruise that is relaxing.....not an orienteering course)
Thanks.

Dave:demon:

after what you told be about the route last night I dont think your family wagon can handle the corners:lmao:

[SSASSC1]

Finally a cruise date that I will be able to make. Will be there..........

Cheers

[Bully]

Hopefully all going well I should be able to come, just hope that car can be fixed in time!!!!!:mad:
Dave I agree with you about the route.
I might bring wife & daughter along for a ride.

[hyper 8]

I will have my wife with me which is 4 months pregos so i wont be going all out like i use to in my old ss as i dont wont want my ass chewed off;) . I would like it to be a family day rather then an all boys day, its not the way i was brought up. Thats why there is a few meeting points so the ones that want to have a bit of fun can, and the rest can enjoy the sights and we dont get split up. It is a full days cruize if we do go through to victor,a full tank would be good before meeting up.

Dave:evil:

dont you worry about the wagon bud they still go just as hard as monros if not better. :D

[vxtreem]

OK, I have an idea on a route.
Please comment.

Meet Point (Suggestions) Close to city (Central)
Callington via SE Freeway
Strathalbyn
Meadows
Myponga
Myponga Beach
End Point (Suggestions) Again, close to city would be nice.

Towns listed does not intend stop points merly a guide of direction.

If everyone is happy with that I will go ahead and draw up some directions.

Approx 200km's.

[Ricky]

Sounds good to me.

sounds like a good route, maybe could meet on cross roads somewhere, then staright up to freeway

[OneManEmpire]

Not bad, but rather than start out on the freeway and miss some of the best twisties, I suggest:

Meet Point (Suggestions) Close to city (Central)
Gorge road to Birdwood...
Birdwood to Palmer
Palmer to Murrybridge
Murry bridge to Strathalbyn
Ashbourne to Goolwa
Victor Harbour
Delamere
Head back along the coast Via Yankalilla, Aldinga etc.

Feedback welcome.

Cheers

It's a good choice and I'm not fussed but some of those routes were in other cruises only a couple of months ago and I was trying to think of something different thats all.

More comments would be helpful.

[VZSSDEVILYEL]

HI guys

both routes/ ideas sound good to me
as i am from aldinga could not be more perfect

as this will be my first cruise and not sure what to expect im happy to go along with what ever is decided

cheers and looking forward to the day

[klink]

hi Guys,


I should be able to put in an appearance,

I like the idea of a few straights and bends,

car coming togeher nicely at the moment just got a couple of minor things to sort out.

just hope that they catch that bloody fire bug in the hills so we dont have to worry about visibility etc.

Im sure im not the only one hoping that there is no small rocks on the road, i not ready to repaint the front of the car yet, how bout you Paul (VYSSBlack almost need another one of our midnight cruises again that was fun)

will be good to see some new faces around.

[VYSSBlack]

I'm over it for now. I'm moving over to Melbourne in a couple of months so Ill wait until I'm over there for a respray, its bound to get a few more chips with a few trips backwards and forwards over the next few months. Dan just bought a VYSS 6M and he keeps asking me when the next cruise is on so he will be in his own car this time.

So you finally got the rear end sorted out Klink, what was it in the end, nothing major I hope

I only brought it up as i was talking with Daniel and he was cleaning the small rocks out of his filter.

yes i think the next night cruise will have to be before you go as im lead to believe the boys picked up a calais so it could almost be a case of one person per car.

Yes got the rear end sorted out, new driveshafts and a diff bolt sitting up 3mm, causing all of my problems, just have to get wheel balance and wheel alignment and its all good. (i hope) havnt had a problem since i had the diff bolt redone.

will have to catch up though and see if you spoke to your cousin/uncle over xmas.


Berocca, sounds like a couple of good routes for our other toys too, we will have to catch up and go for a ride soon, i need a bit of fun, getting bored with the ss at the moment, (8hrs complete strip of the bike, took off rad guard, temp prob seems fixed)

Yes sound good onemanempire, i remember the last trip along the yank road as do alot of others from that day.

[Carrots]

They give you any reasoning why a diff bolt would be sitting proud by 3mm? SOunds ouchy pricewise!

[klink]

It's a good choice and I'm not fussed but some of those routes were in other cruises only a couple of months ago and I was trying to think of something different thats all.

More comments would be helpful.

the victor cruise was in July Chris, i have the photo's of the cars and the video.


They give you any reasoning why a diff bolt would be sitting proud by 3mm? SOunds ouchy pricewise!

just a little bit of stuff on the thread or in the hole. was the front d/side bolt. very hard to see without a torch and a mirror,
wasnt expensive, i was lucky that i have a very good diff guy. it took awhile to find it but once found fixed promptly.

driveshafts was another story, holden wanted 420 a side then fitting. But i went after market and they are 4mm bigger in diamiter.

[VXEXEC350]

I'm up for a cruise that day. Both routes sound fine. As long as there is corners I dont mind a bit. A place to meet may be a problem. I suggest the rear carpark of Dan Murphys Glenunga. It is large enough to accomodate alot of cars, and will be empty Sunday Mornings. Or the side carpark of the Kurrulta Park Kmart.

[sikss]

I'll try and make it as long as I'm not working. Just picked up a vy calais for Heath so he'll prolly bring that out aswell.
Cheers
Daniel

[Brass Munky]

Good to hear that heath found the car he was after, should make a good day, i should be back in town by then so i may grab a ride with one of the boys, ill remember the camera this time as well. I need some new photos to play with in photoshop, im getting bored again.

Those aftermarket shafts sound alright being 4mm bigger. Lucky with the diff indeed - one of those niggly things that annoys but is hard to find by the sounds of it - especially given its location.

[klink]

Yes, it was a hard spot to see, lucky some one noticed it as i had had it at a couple of diff joints and none of them noticed it, they put it down to cv shafts that were less than 200km's old so it shows how much and how thorough they can be.

So it was a good trip to collect the car? You deserve a day off anyway so take one, you work to hard, lol.

it should be a good cruise, may have to do a pre cruise cruise on the sat night as its a sunday cruise, drag out heaths toy, daniels new toy, the black beast yours and mine and then go straight on to the cruise depending what time it starts.

yes, i still cope greif over the work you did for me,

Yes well you need to learn to hold the camera steady, either that or be in the green machine, lmao.

either that or you drive mine and bring out the blue one for some fun.

So where are you hiding? your doing a better job of hiding than me?

[SS_ute]

hey guys im only new and wouldnt mind tagging along if you dont mind?

[Toddler78]

I dont like my chances of getting out now, got real bad diff noise, went into holdens last week and they can not fix it until the week after the cruise and I dont want to risk wreaking the diff even more

[klink]

hey guys im only new and wouldnt mind tagging along if you dont mind?

i dont see anyone having a problem mate as far as im concerned the more the better. Im hanging to see what the final route turns out to be.


I dont like my chances of getting out now, got real bad diff noise, went into holdens last week and they can not fix it until the week after the cruise and I dont want to risk wreaking the diff even more

thats not good mate, is it definately your diff or could it be something else?

what is the noise like?, i had what we thought was diff noise but once a mate got underneath it turned out to be an inner cv joint.

[SS_ute]

cheers guys, just hope my diff holds up aswell

[klink]

cheers guys, just hope my diff holds up aswell

Your diff will hold up ok, they have a tendancy to let go if you do alot of donuts etc so i was told when i had mine looked at so to speak.

we arent into big burnouts etc we are a well behaved, compared to alot of other groups, we are more into social atmosphere than wrecking our cars, we enjoy them not try and destroy them.

[SS_ute]

so am i mate dont worry, cant afford $1300 for rear tyres, nah it has been slowly getting worse for a couple months now just a matter of time now but thats life

[klink]

so am i mate dont worry, cant afford $1300 for rear tyres, nah it has been slowly getting worse for a couple months now just a matter of time now but thats life

$1300 for rear tyres, that takes the fun out of life.

You should look at getting your diff checked before it gets to bad otherwise you may damage the lsd centre or the cones and thats not cheap

[vxtreem]

Ok. How does this sound.

Meet Kuralta Park Shops out the back 10:30am
Leave 11:00am
to Callington (First Stop) via Cross Rd, S.E Freeway
to Port Elliot (Second Stop) via Strathalbyn, Goolwa
to Normanville (Third Stop) via Delamere
to Hahndorf (Fourth Stop) via Meadows
to Botanical Gardens (Finnish) car park (Hackney Rd) via S.E Freeway, Portrush, The Parade.

With the suggestion of Lunch at Port Elliot. Peoples can either go to the local on the main street or grab yourselves some fish and chips and let the kiddies (if any attending) have a play on the beach. Plenty parking ( i think ) on the top of that point.

What do yas reckon.

[solid]

Not enough traffic lights for my liking :lmao: Sounds like a nice, scenic country drive though :woot:

[vxtreem]

I know but we'll leave them for the night runs:up2sum:

Well - not knowing where any of that is, it sounds great to me...

[SSASSC1]

If we are stopping at Port Elliot, how about a few laps of the local go kart track? Shouldn't take more that 40 mins for us to get through a few races, anyone interested? :driving:

Cheers

[klink]

as soon as i saw your id on the forum i knew that would be your response to the route, :lmao:

should be a good leisurely cruise, the way you drive up cross road last time there was plenty of lights for you.

I'm still deaf in my right ear from when you went past.

Sounds good to me. Took the wags to murry bridge for lunch today to see what is like on the open road :errr: So now i will have to change the shocks and brakes before sunday. Then i can open her up for some fun :driving:

Hi bud if you want to still come along let me know. You might be able to jump in with us if you want?

[vyssls1]

Not enough traffic lights for my liking :lmao: Sounds like a nice, scenic country drive though :woot:

:lmao: i said that last time and then i had to :hide:

[vxtreem]

Didn't you get your fix last cruise:whip:

[klink]

WHO Me???

took awhile to diagnose the prob

[solid]

Oooohhh, count me in on the night cruise :driving: :driving: :driving:

[klink]

That sounds like a bit of fun when is the night cruise going to be????

And who is organising it

[vxtreem]

WHO Me???

took awhile to diagnose the prob

No, I meant Bradley and his desire for lights or shall I say the leaving of them behind at a 45 dgree angle.

[klink]

No, I meant Bradley and his desire for lights or shall I say the leaving of them behind at a 45 dgree angle.

cool, one could never get tired of that in that thing come on.

i know i wouldnt. just gets expensive on the tires, im up for 2 more shortly again that will make 6 or 8 tires this year i cant remember. :lmao: but i did kill 2 within a couple of weeks of getting my clutch installed,

[vxtreem]

I know your feeling. I am up for a set of rears soon and it's Brads fault too for making my car go too fast.

[klink]

I know your feeling. I am up for a set of rears soon and it's Brads fault too for making my car go too fast.

Yes, well you get that. I'm yet to have mine tweaked. im happy with mine as it is at the moment, (its called money) i wana spend some on the bike.

i just broke everything along the way. you have that to look forward to yet.

least yours is auto so you dont have to worry about the clutch, i dont anymore either, done it, you just have your diff to worry bout,

[vxtreem]

Touches wood for no bad things to come.
Boys and their toys hey.

[vyssls1]

Didn't you get your fix last cruise:whip:

nah i never get the fix i need, only went through half a set of tyres per last cruise. will await the new fix :driving: it might be enjoyable then.......

i hate it when i get the blame for tyres, would u like your factory tune back.

oh cant wait for the next night cruise.....might be some practise for the nationals :hide: might have to bring out the slicks

[Toddler78]

i dont see anyone having a problem mate as far as im concerned the more the better. Im hanging to see what the final route turns out to be.



thats not good mate, is it definately your diff or could it be something else?

what is the noise like?, i had what we thought was diff noise but once a mate got underneath it turned out to be an inner cv joint.

yeah mate she is definatly diff, HSV mechanics have taken it for a drive, only took it around the block before they diagnosed it it is that bad, they just cant get to it until after the cruise

And hey, i dont mind driving your beast sunday:yahoo: :driving: , i wont break anything, not my car, hell, i cant afford to fix mine at the moment.

I doubt the green machine will be out sunday, im not sure though.

I doubt i could do as god a job at hiding as you mate, your tough to find when your not hiding, have a good one mate, we'll catch up soon and ill bring the squeeze around so she can listen to us dribble shit for hours

[02vyss]

The cruise sounds like it will be a good one, not sure if i will make it though, Im over at yorks till sat night so I'll see how I'm feeling on sunday!

[Monaro427]

I'm in as well.

[SIG-054]

will be there also, either with ricky or my own ;)

[Bully]

Sounds good, I might stop at Strath, a mate & his wife own the aprillia garage dealership there, be a good chance to catch up.

[VZSSDEVILYEL]

HI
im in as well
is the kultara shops the shopping center on anzac highway ?

also a good bakery on the main road at port elliot
cheers

[Brass Munky]

Yeah, kuralta park kmart is on anzac highway.

The bakery in middleton is better than the one in port elliot :stick::wave:

[Carrots]

Not sure how i'll go with this yet....Got a 21st shindig in Naracourte (had to decide between a 30th in Berri and a 21st in Narahole lol) Hopefully might make it to Port Elliot in time for lunch fingers crossed. Will bring the camera gear to get a few pics too.

[VZLAD]

Will try to make it to this one.. and we will try to keep up with you lot

[vxtreem]

Cruise Maps are done.

I mentioned going along cross rd from kurralta s/c. But I decided to go along greenhill because turning right on ANZAC from the shops could take forever.
So we now exit shops left onto Anzac and up to Greenhill.

Remember full tanks.
Meet Point: Kurrulta Shopping Centre ANZAC Hwy (Out the back)
Meet time: 10:30am

[klink]

Cool, sounds like fun, i got that info regarding malalla today, clem recons i dont need that back protector but i have heard different from coast yam, they say you do. did you have a chance to speak with your uncle?


The cruise sounds like it will be a good one, not sure if i will make it though, Im over at yorks till sat night so I'll see how I'm feeling on sunday!

Dont be soft, you can leave over there at 8 am and have time to stop off at the caven and get me a steak sand (steak, egg, cheese and bacon with sauce)


Touches wood for no bad things to come.
Boys and their toys hey.

Ive done more than touch wood, ive had enough of down time, its put my bike plans back several months and i wanted that done for xmas.


Does anyone know anything about the show and shine thin up at murray bridge on saturday???


Hmm, saturday night cruise hey, if im not pre-occupied

As for that work, ill get around to cleaning it up someday soon, you know how it is mate, things to see people to... ill leave it at that

And hey, i dont mind driving your beast sunday:yahoo: :driving: , i wont break anything, not my car, hell, i cant afford to fix mine at the moment.

I doubt the green machine will be out sunday, im not sure though.

I doubt i could do as god a job at hiding as you mate, your tough to find when your not hiding, have a good one mate, we'll catch up soon and ill bring the squeeze around so she can listen to us dribble shit for hours

thats it, leave the car at home take the bike out, makes it hard doesnt it. Yes i gota get some more coin together im down to one can so im saving that for a rainy day. unless you got a creditcard we can use, dont think the old lady would like me booking that stuff up on hers.

i'll be harder to find now im back doing 12hrs days, got to 52 degrees today in the shed, what fun playing with 720 degree molten metal


Cruise Maps are done.

I mentioned going along cross rd from kurralta s/c. But I decided to go along greenhill because turning right on ANZAC from the shops could take forever.
So we now exit shops left onto Anzac and up to Greenhill.

Remember full tanks.
Meet Point: Kurrulta Shopping Centre ANZAC Hwy (Out the back)
Meet time: 10:30am
Cruise Depart 11:00am

So we are then turning up glen osmond road to meet the express way???

[EVL350]

ill be there for sure now. my car is using alot of fuel atm and i still havent had it looked at. so i might try and meet you guys somewhere on Glen Osmond rd or something simillar if thats possible?

[Brass Munky]

Hmmm, what are we planning to put on my imaginary credit card, you know im not capable of controling my spending on a credit card mate, if i had one, id be eyeballs deep in shit.

I dont envy you for that job, i wont tell you what my days are consisting of at the moment, and the outlook is good for uni when it goes back too. Still got just over a month of holidays, :yahoo: :thumbsup: :yahoo: :thumbsup: :yahoo: :hide:

[berroca]

Cool, sounds like fun, i got that info regarding malalla today, clem recons i dont need that back protector but i have heard different from coast yam, they say you do. did you have a chance to speak with your uncle?




yea i had a chat with him, he said that for the cafe racer knee scraper ride days you dont require a back protector, but that some of the bike stores that run ride days say you have to have one

dad has a dainese one, but the zipper is broken, you could saftey pin it together and use that if you want

[SS_ute]

hmm im a little worried im not going to be able to keep up with you guys, my car prob isnt much compared to everyone elses

[vxtreem]

ill be there for sure now. my car is using alot of fuel atm and i still havent had it looked at. so i might try and meet you guys somewhere on Glen Osmond rd or something simillar if thats possible?

I guess the easiest way would be to sit on the side of Glen Osmond before 11:00am and weight for the thundering freight train to go buy and then tag along.



So we are then turning up glen osmond road to meet the express way???

Yep, I was just clarifying becuase of mentioned cross roads on an earlier post and didn't want to confuse anyone and lose people on the first turn.


hmm im a little worried im not going to be able to keep up with you guys, my car prob isnt much compared to everyone elses

There is no need to worry we obide by all road rules, except noise pollution through a particular tunnel.:hide:

[klink]

hmm im a little worried im not going to be able to keep up with you guys, my car prob isnt much compared to everyone elses

Mate you have nothing no worry about at all, the speed limit is the same for everybody. trust me you will be fine.

I believe Chris has this as a sunday drive so it will be fine. nice fresh air for the motors etc. so dont stress to much mate.


well doc,

I would really love some of more of those red cans. but i put my money into 5 little black bottles of joy for the bike and car maybe.


Brock,

Thanks for the offer i will keep that offer in mind, will have to check out your old man's back protector if you are able to bring it along Sunday as the ones i have seen dont have a zip at all on them. They have shoulder straps and a velco kidney strap.

[SS_ute]

hey guys just wondering if any of you had msn if you did pm with your email and we can chat, i dont know many guys with ls1's so would be good to go out crusing

[VX_SS_II]

I will be there for sure!!!

[klink]

This is looking like a good one!

[vxtreem]

If you keep your eye on the forum we try to get crusing at least every second month. I would like to do a night cruise in Feb at some stage too.

That dosn't meen I will be organising it, others are more than welcome to get a route sorted.

If we keep it a regular thing people will see us and come out. Another batch of forum stickers would'nt hurt too so everyone knows where we are from.

Hi Chris,

Just wondering if you factored in the road closures around the city for the tour down under?

And what is the extimated return time?

[Carrots]

Hi Chris,

Just wondering if you factored in the road closures around the city for the tour down under?

And what is the extimated return time?

Road Closures wouldn't effect the route to Botanic Park on Hackney Rd via Norwood Parade. (can't say i've taken notice of the tour down under route for the final city stage - just assuming it'll be the same as years gone by).

[klink]

I am aware of that and have looked at the tour site but dont know where some of the roads are as i avoid the city as much as possible, just wondering how big a detour some of us may have to take to get back home from the botanic gardens.

Arh yeap yeap. Just avoid North Tce and North Adelaide basically.

[vxtreem]

As carrots said, all roads off north tce up to Montifore (spelling) hill and surrounds should be avoided.

I threw a map together to show optional exit routes. Please note enter city is at own risk but if you have to you can.

are we still planning Port elliot as the lunch stop or has that changed chris? if you dont want to give out all the details on a public forum i understand so pm me if thats the case.

What are peoples thoughts on the weather situation?
The forecast is:

Saturday Rain periods. Min 18 Max 24
Sunday Showers. Windy. Min 16 Max 23
Monday Morning shower. Min 14 Max 28


Not much fun if it's wet.


cheers

[Brass Munky]

Hey klink, let me know if your taking the better half and the little one, might leave my transport at yours if thats cool, that way i can get a ride to the meet point. and then know where my car is for the ride home, cheers mate, have a good one

just had a look at the satalite/sonoptic chart and i dont think we will get much rain on sunday.

we may see rain in the early hours of sunday but i believe it will clear up by lunch time given the cloud masses that are over sa as there is nothing over wa or off the coast at this stage. it may be windy but i think we will have most of the rain by 9am sunday, there may be some light showers but i doubt that.

just my 2c worth.

I am not fussed on the lunch stop. I just thought as a time thing it would be pretty close to lunch at Port Elliot.
Remember it's all informal, when we park people can go off together or do their own thing. We will make a time to meet back at the cars and then off we go again.

I will probably bring my 2yo boy for a boys day out.

For those who will be meeting up at other points or stopping at other points here is my mobile for tracking us down: 0416093828. Also handy for others if ya get lost.

Looking forward to it all now.:driving: :driving: :driving:

Now I have to wash the car, it's filth.

Jeebus mate, gimme time to sift through the photos, over 100 taken, most are pretty good this time, less to delete:yahoo: , just more to bloody edit, but gives me something to do.

Got some really good ones, ive started to edit some basically, remove plates and fix the colours, couple of awesome ones of the three stock looking VX SS's, if dan had parked the right bloody way:cussing: could have had a nice foursome

Would have been more if the damn thing didnt go flat


Thanks Chris for organising a great cruise. Thanks for everyone who came along and made it a good day.

Few nice shots of both the black beasts for ya mate, i meant to jump in for a spin but forgot, next time for sure, i wont hang out your windows though


thanks chris for organising it

Car looked awesome mate, love that ride height, got a heap of nice shots of yours, for some reason most of yours turned out really well, you can have a cope, it'll cost ya though :deal:


Yeah same --- was good to meet a few names and put faces to them ... next time.

Was good to meet you and all the other new faces that came along today.

A couple of nice shots of the VT for ya too, once ive edited and had my play will organise to get them too ya.


Nice route Chris and top effort on the navigation to Handorf :stick:, i didnt realise it was so close to home :stick::stick:

All good, an awesome day overall, i had a ball, but now i want one even more

[vxtreem]

I had a sensational day.

Thanks for those who rocked up, I was a little worried when I got up this morning.

The weather cleared up and gave us a chance to get a good go at it. The Pt Elliot to Normanville stage was excellent, to have all that open road was a blast. I reckon dave (hyper 8) would of been at home on that section.;) Mind you I realy didn't need sand blasting done to my bonnet and bar.:cussing:

Appologies for the wrong turn but we had a good run and I am preety knackerd now anyway.

Kurt sorry I didn't get more of a chance to talk but I was chasing the little boy around most stops.


Nice to meet oyher new faces and hope you can all make the next one.

A plan for a sat nght crusie for Feb is on the cards. I believe Paul might have something in his handbag for us.

[SIG-054]

sorry guys that i could not attend, woke up with massive headache and could not be bothered washing my car!

will be there at the next one without a doubt

[vxtreem]

I didn't bother washing mine only the wheels. We got a free Power Wash on the freeway anyway.:up2sum:

[Brass Munky]

Damn, nice avatar, you can certainly email that to me lol

[VYSSBlack]

Yeah great turnout, what a site seeing all those LS1s together...

Sorry for splash of gravel too mate... SS got a bit loose when i hit it! Damn dirt and gravel was everywhere, front of mine got hammered...

Did you see me swerving all over the place behind you trying to miss the sand storms. Not to worry, its not the first time its copped a sand blasting and wont be the last.




Few nice shots of both the black beasts for ya mate, i meant to jump in for a spin but forgot, next time for sure, i wont hang out your windows though



Cheers, it will be good to see them when there done. Your welcome to jump in anytime, Ill even let you hang out the window for some happy snaps, but I cant promise that I wont drop it back to second while your out there :lmao:

[zacz]

[LS1_Wagn]

i didn't find out about this cruise until saturday night so i wasn't able to make it. i'll try and keep an eye out on here for the next one and come say hello next time hopefully!

[berroca]

it was a nice day, apart fomr my exhaust wobbling around alll over the place and rubbing the skirts :cussing: will be heading into D&T tomorrow to get it sorted

was good to meet everyone as well, i had a awesome day, can't wait for the next one... although i think my front bar can after those sand storms....lol oh well

Bloody Daniel, if only he had parked the right way round in callington

[Wingnut]

Wont be the first time its happened, paul has a habit of doing that to me, and im sure it wont be the last time, plus, your car is a bit "soft" compared to pauls :stick:

If mines soft, then im glad i dont have an SV3800 :stick:

:lmao:

Mines soft as, hence why it doesnt come out, its short 2 cylinders, 2 gears, a kaaz LSD, and two BIG turbos, but it does have the fun factor of live rear axle.

Ill get there one day, dont you worry, then there will be 4 trouble children on the cruises :lmao:

Next cruise was discussed at the end,

looking at having an arvo cruise, and heading back to John's at 30km/h for bbq tea/sausage sizzle few drinks and pool party.

Was an exceptinal offer from John to welcome us all into his home after the next cruise.

Yes but i have to have it parked at my place most cruises., least i get to raid the memory card, haha to add to the collection of cruise photo's etc.

Dont worry paul, the droping back to seconf makes for some electifying photo's believe me.

[VYSSBlack]

Yeah I need a tex and RIP shift in mine as soon as finances will allow it. Then the fun will begin :yahoo:

I might have to get off my but and hook up a few cameras to the car for the next run

[VXEXEC350]

I wanted to go on this cruise but my wifes' grandmother died Sunday :(

ooooohhhhhhhh, sunroof, im riding with you next time paul, that sunroof will get a workout :lmao::yahoo:

You know you love my company though mate, plus, you get a hand to wash your beast too. Then you do get originals of the photos before i do too, before ive had my way with them in photoshop, your a lucky man.

Thanks again to John for the offer of his humble abode for BBQ and swim for the next cruise, just dont let him lead the cruise, everyone will get exceptional fuel economy due to the 30km/h speed limit but...

[vyssls1]

Next cruise - 17 or 18th Feb.

I recon we head out Birdwood / Mannum way for the next cruise. On completion all welcome back to my place for a relaxing social BBQ and a refreshing swim in my heated pool.

Sound ok ?

John

[SSASSC1]

Thats it !! Sod, ur speed limit has been reduced down to 20kph, just as well I guess. The SV 3800 would struggle to make it to 20kph anyway....;)

[vyssls1]

so whos organising the next cruise route anyway...

what it has to require.

more city cruising, traffic lights, and night time. (that way no sand blasting)

It will be a lonely cruise through the city for me as i dont drink and most people are going to be drinking.

Sounds like fun but if decide to do that you cant drink, or guys drive during day and the woman drive at night.

Im all for the "Go Hard or Go Home" side of things, but hey, im not driving, and as long as im strapped in when im taking photos all will be well, unless i ride with paul in the VE, that way i can go out the sunroof, and if i manage to fall out of that i must be so plastered its not funny

that is of course if you weren't plastered

Ill have to polish the car and remove the spoiler so you have a nice smooth exit
:stick:

[klink]

Paul,

I am aware of that , as i dont drink, but it a case of safety first not just for us but for other road uses so being responsible is what i was getting at..

what are the dimensions of the sunroof when fully opened?

Always get a kiddy hardness so he doesn't fall out, or one of those dog collar thing you see in the back of utes. ( but he might like that)

[VYSSBlack]

Yes dad, we will be responsible children.

The sunroof should be big enough to wedge him in there quite nicely. The dog collar is optional and just for looks if thats what he prefers.

Now now, dont go passing off your habits as mine, im quite content without a collar mate, what happens in your bedroom stays in YOUR bedroom, i dont wanna know, and neither does anyone else :lmao:

AS mentioned, no collar thanks, but a few iced coffee's wouldnt go astray, helps settle my stomach. As for wedging me in, my waistline has slimmed in recent times, so there will be no wedging me in anything

Cheers for the pictures Horst, its interesting to see the full map. I think we did just under 300kms all up.


On a sad note, Dan wrapped his 5 week old VYSSII around a tree last night. Im not sure if it will be written off or not. The drivers side doors are both trashed and it looks like the B pillar has been pushed in a bit. He came out alright with a few minor scratches, airbags didnt go off. :banghead:
