tofu bbq of hate :S

we organize Melbourne events on a monthly basis now
we had the photoshoot meet just last week, the tofu bbq last month, the month before that we cruised down the Great Ocean Road, we also went through the Black Spur, had a meet at St Kilda for some fish and chips and also had another bbq at Westerfold Park...

i'll be organizing another meet this month and it will definitely be a cruise!

3rd February 2009, 08:33 PM
this a night time run? mt baw baw is a good cruise. quite long but worth the drive. pretty hardcore though....

julzy
3rd February 2009, 08:39 PM
was just trying to gauge interest,
and get some ideas up.
mt baw baw seems like a good idea, bit of a hike but heard its pretty good,
would be a late arvo/night thing.

3rd February 2009, 08:45 PM

FINALY getting my car back on the road.

all good man,
just was curious about your tofu bbq of hate remark...


I might have been somewhat associatted with a ute,
which may or may not have done something to piss people off lol,
HONESTLY thought we were being nice

Hokey
3rd February 2009, 08:55 PM
yeh baw baw is probably a 200km return trip from lilydale. awesome roads

Otaku
3rd February 2009, 08:55 PM
I understand that you thought you were being nice, but we were left to dump the parts left behind. It could have just been as simple as taking it away and dumping it yourself. I mean there were a few dumpsters close by...

but thats all in the past, so lets move on! :)

julzy
3rd February 2009, 08:56 PM
moved on lol,

Are mt.dandy tourist roads any good?
Arthurs seat?

Intense
3rd February 2009, 08:59 PM
mt dandy is shit
arthurs seat is shit

Reefton spur is win
Black spur is win
Baw Baw is win
GOR is win
Toolangi is win
Donna Buang is win

Hokey
3rd February 2009, 09:16 PM
dandy isn't that bad. nice and close for a bit of a fang. donna buang is fairly short also. i'd prefer dandy over donna. lake mountain is a good run especially if there's a few D drivers

julzy
3rd February 2009, 09:17 PM
So where is it that people want to go?

Main meet point most likely sth east,
was thinking at Nandos Braeside,
corner of springvale rd and Govenor rd.
Big carpark at the back, food and fuel.

Intense
3rd February 2009, 09:22 PM
Nando's lol. Please don't tell me people actualy pay for this crap? I work there, don't trust it

Hokey
3rd February 2009, 09:25 PM
try a poll maybe? i'm down for any of the hills out this way. warburton healesville etc lake mountain is a really good run and not massively long

julzy
3rd February 2009, 09:32 PM
ok top need top 3 places people want to go,
then poll time.

Hokey
3rd February 2009, 09:37 PM
right so i guess my vote is lake mountain then

julzy
3rd February 2009, 09:40 PM

dandy, lake mountian, what else

driftism
3rd February 2009, 10:05 PM

blacktopspirit
4th February 2009, 06:33 AM
Lake mountain to black spur, I can't remember if the road connecting the two have been sealed, so it may be about 20k of dirt!

blacktopspirit
4th February 2009, 06:37 AM
and their is also this cruise, its open to anyone.

but it will be full of WRX's, M3 BMW's, Audi's, Golf's, and EVO's, bit more top end than your normal cruise

ill be taking it easy in my ae71,

driftism
5th February 2009, 10:49 PM
pfft what ever blacktopspirit, from what i remember you leave most of the kids behind in your car ;)

got my car back today, but the battery was dead flat so it struggled to get home (its chillin out the front of a Chinese take away as i type this)

driving along, flick the lights on, the fuel pump starts to struggle... im like "ok, no lights then" so driving along with no lights at 10:00pm down high street road. then it starts to really stuggle... so yeah, ive gotta charge it up and hope thats the only problem.

if i can get my shit together tomorrow and have all my lights working and engine running at the same time, im down like your girlfriend.

julzy
5th February 2009, 10:51 PM
check alternator too,
might be getting no voltagesss

driftism
5th February 2009, 10:58 PM
true. i hope its not that, cant really afford to shell out for a new alternator :(

Hokey
6th February 2009, 12:26 AM
yeh it'll be alternator if it wasn't charging man. nath might be able to fix it or might have a spare. should call him.

hows the suspension go? i wanted to have a steer before you left but didn't catch up.

driftism
6th February 2009, 10:41 AM
fixed the lights and cleaned it up a fair bit. But it is the altinator, dam lol. i'll give nath a call some time but right now im flat broke...

so that means im out guys, i dont trust going to lake mountain and back on one battery charge :P

But wholeeee shheeeit, my car HAMMERS! wez did a great job with everything! its still back firing though coz the extractors aren't sealed properly (my fault), one of the bolts snaped off inside the block... thought she'd be right, turns out she wasn't lol.

But yeah sorry guys, maybe next time.

6th February 2009, 12:32 PM

Me and Calvin dont know where or when we are joining in yet. I dont know where you live, but if your near Calvin, name a time and a place that will fit in with Julzy's (and others) travels between Nandos and Lake Mountain.

I dont know where to meet the others as I have never been to Lake Mountain before so yeah, I might just head out to Calvins workshop or soemthing later.

I dont know.

sprinter666
6th February 2009, 06:10 PM
whats local to guys on east if its happening? donny westfield?

julzy

hokey said he would lead.
we will meet you guys somewhere.

6th February 2009, 06:16 PM
easterners should arrange with hokey or matt99 to premeet in kilsyth or lilydale.

i may be there later.

sprinter666
6th February 2009, 06:39 PM
so matt? hokey? where is the easteners meeting?

julzy
6th February 2009, 06:42 PM
is anyone coming down south/east?
might just go straight to the east one lol

matt99
6th February 2009, 06:42 PM
Well, ill call Calvin in a minute to confirm. But I think (as a suggestion, open to others) the Shell on Mahroodah Hwy Lillydale. For those of you coming from the city side of Lillydale, head through town to the other side, its a little out of town on the left.

Say 9pm (to give time for the others coming from Nandos?).

Sound good to everyone? Or somewhere else, im open to suggestions, but if there re no other suggestions, then ill probably just head there.

sprinter666
6th February 2009, 06:44 PM
can u give me some directions there from blackburn? never been out that way, not sure if im coming but id like to, or got an addressy thing for the meet place for google maps lol

matt99
6th February 2009, 06:47 PM
Just confirmed with Calvin, all systems go for Lillydale Shell at 9, we will wait for a bit.

Basically you head out bound on Mahroondah Hwy (Whitehorse Rd) for ages, through Ringwood, through Croydon, keep going. Eventually you will come through Lillydale, has a railway crossing and whatnot. Keep on the same road (still Mahroodah Hwy) and just out of the main part of Lillydale there is a Shell servo on the left.

blacktopspirit
6th February 2009, 06:50 PM
from blackburn head east (out) on whitehorse road untill you hit lilydale Shell


if its at 9pm I should be able to make it, better stop drinking now though!

Shell Lilydale is a good place to meet

Hokey
7th February 2009, 02:23 AM
good cruise guys. shame that julzy had to leave early due to gearbox issues and the brown sprinter never coming (sorry didn't catch names).

cars ran well except for eds ta22 which needed a bit of bush mechanics to fix a missing alternator belt but got it worked out and he should be almost home now.

look forward to the next one,

7th February 2009, 09:48 AM
was a good run, I had as much fun as you can have in wrong wheel drive! sorry for leaving you guys after Eddies car was back on the road, but I felt like kicking it down the hill, and I got a new PB on the black spur!

you guys come back a different way? I don't know how you all got in front! maybe when I got fuel?

SOMEONE PUT A PIC UP OF OUR BUSH MECHANICS ON THE CELICA.
For those who werent there, picture a missing alternator belt, an alternator sitting randomly in the bottom of the engine bay. Brendan in his wrong wheel drive car come flying back to be greeted by Calvins car being parked in the middle of the road, Brendan getting out of car with random alternator belt that is too long. Putting oversized belt onto 20V celica, tensioning alternator with nylon rope, a screwdriver and a stick. Worked perfect.

Josef, my phone was'nt off mate, it was just out of range. Pretty funny when it got reception though, pretty much 10 voicemail messages from you.

Good night, although I was very dissapointed with my efforts, but I suppose thats what I get for only getting out and skidding in the wet.

Julzy mate, got a spare box?

sprinter666
7th February 2009, 11:16 AM

matt99
7th February 2009, 11:37 AM
I think we need more of these types of hills runs. Maybe a monthly thing (yes, I know HR do a monthly thing but usually its just a meet I think, but the more meets/drives the better).

Ill organise one for maybe a couple of weeks after Winton (21st feb) as I know theres a few people here going to Winton and probably want a bit of time to get there cars right before hand.

So ill look into a few other roads, or even another Lake run again concidering everyone seemed to enjoy it in early to mid March, probably 2 or 3 weeks after Winton. Get this Vic Corolla/sprinter scene rocking.

Doesn't look like there will be many hills runs for a while I live up Healesville and you can't go anywhere. Only way in and out is maroondah highway or woori yallock.
You cant go past the hospital on the main st as the fire has crossed the road before the black spur. Also they're telling tourists to stay away and the cops have been checking id's to get around certain parts.
There's pretty much no entry at all for anyone in most of the yarra valley except the outskirts.
