Alright, we need to have a cruise in the new year, thinking late January or early February. More than likely another southern cruise, as they work rather well - but don't worry, I have plans for another northern cruise a little bit after this one.

So we need some ideas for dates - when are people free? Lets get a discussion going :)

quarterly cruises?

i think it will be busy with cops around oz day and not to mention traffic.
so maybe early feb. early morning. anywhere away from the g.c really??

The less cops the better. Shame there are no abandened airports. Not unless someone wants to clear out archerfield airport some how. ;P

I wish!!

Both pretty good options. But could I suggest Hastings Point?

Perfect location with a headland look out, massive carpark which is only ever full if people are camping on the grounds right beside and a massive camping ground/field which would be un-occupied providing it's not holiday time. It's closer to the NSW/QLD border than both Bruns and Byron...about 20min from tugun.

Assuming most would be coming from North the drive there would be sweet as too, cut off at the new Macca's/BP super centre (or whatever fuck they are called) at Chinderah, by-pass Kingsliff, head down the coast passing through Cabarita Beach and on to Hasting's Point.

that seems like a pretty good idea ^^

That sounds like a great idea. The only thing i can think of is to go up to mount Neebo range. Then stop for lunch and finish driving down to the dam and come back through Ipswitch. It's a nice drive i do it when i can.
I'm just happy to drive my Hachi. Who cares where. :)

yeh bruns or hastings are both good ideas!!

maybe hit up the buringbah range on the way through or something, although you have to watch cops along there, theres not usually many but u get the odd one.

what time would we do it? early morning?

Burringbar Range is a fantastic drive! Pass through Burringbar and take the Pottsville/Mooball road to Pottsville, pass through Pottsville (my joint!) and cut back up to Hasto's.

thats what destroyed them. the 4k fury with 5 poeple in the car going up a hill was too fast for the camera to predict what speed i was going and caused it to malfuntion and blow up.

Lets all go for a nice little drive,
What about up the "Gap" north Brissy some nice roads up there then back through ferny grove, I dont know :peek:

johl
19th February 2009, 02:01 AM
i went to the best place for food the other day.
its called ribbets. just opposite booga rd jail i think.
any way its all you can eat ribs, pasta, pizza. been there for like 25 years and hasnt changed. only costs $25 and it only sits maybe 20 people so bookings are a must. would be an awesome place to end a meet up/drive cuz they are open form 4.30 till midnight every night

marvis
19th February 2009, 02:17 AM
Auszoku had a meet at ribbets. It's fucking awesome. Good idea man.

Eircamae86: I'm keen and a few others seem to be.

Dates?

ahh Ribbets...best late night pizza.

Only problem with having a big crowd jammed in the car park out the front is you gotta hope like hell none of the 5.0 actually get motivated and come outside of the DP cop shop located 200m down the road.... rarely happens though.

hey are there any dates for cruise days yet ?????

its canned... noone is gonna organise a cruise in 5 days hahah

one will come up soon enough

Driftspec
23rd February 2009, 12:58 AM
Ummm.... yeah...

Seeing as this one didn't eventuate (geez its nearly March already), I would love to do one in the cooler weather. Not sure how the engine and brakes will hold out in the warmer weather, like it is now :|

Although, it doesn't have to be a admin.mod that lines up a drive date. If you have a spare weekend, yell it out, and you will probably get a few people wanting to come out. All good ;)

23rd February 2009, 01:15 AM
i would have done this but yeah... i got a lil problem called breaking my 86 haha

dr1ft-pig
24th February 2009, 01:50 AM
im in like flynn

would friday/sat night be a better idea???

might get a few more to travel from a lil further away i.e. me

id be keen for sure... if its early enough to go out then come back for dinner there shouldnt be much 5-0 yeah??

johl
24th February 2009, 10:11 AM
shouldnt be too bad. i'd prefer to have food then go out but ribbets doesnt open till 4:30. but they are open till around midnight. but most of our lights suck so i wouldnt like to do some spirited driving at night

dr1ft-pig
24th February 2009, 12:10 PM
u cant eat before a spirited drive.... u need to save on weight :P

NIZLAH
26th February 2009, 10:22 PM
lol, man trust me if my shit was on the road (which you personally know is a while off haha) I'd organize something for sure.... for now I will just concentrate on getting it on the road as fast as I can and dabble with my scavenger hunt idea.
I'm fucking itching hardout though to drive again...

You know man, the best way is to organize it yourself and the crowd will gather... everyone is just waiting on someone to take action....
Its not overly difficult, just pick a date/time/meeting place/roads you want to drive/finish point and your pretty much done...... I would keep it all covert though and send details via pm too all that express their interest.
