Thanks for the plug RCHOO! Any additional exposure would be really appreciated. This really is a long cruise, so the more people the better!
Does anyone else need any more information about it?
-
Wow, lots of maybies! The closer we get, the better idea we will have with the numbers...

Good short night out.

How did the cruise go? I know those roads pretty well. Could make a great cuise with heaps of cars with more notice.
-
Sounds good. Put me down as a maybe.
-
im in, my car is sanded back like a scratched matt white paint job...
Cool. Where will you be meeting us?
-
Ah well, there'll be plenty more cruises to go to in future.
I will be organising more cruises in the future. Keep an eye out!
-
Damn. Did it have to be saturday?!
Unfortunately, the cruise is all geared up for the Saturday. It's a long drive so we'll need the better bat of the day to to the full round. Is there any chance you can make it on the Satuday?
-
why stop there?
Quick + Dirty
-
This cruise is still a far ways off, don't forget to diary it forward so it's not forgotten!
-
10 mins of work... Does it need to be darker?
-
Colour balance = More realism.
-
Here is another one. Gives the paint job and lights a 'thick caramel' look. Let me know what you think.
-
Not too bad for 10 minutes work... Let me know what you think.

Hi All,
What program did you use for the mods? I've attached two variants to the paint job + Lowering. First one is a metallic purple and the other a blue/ Purple pearl. I have also re-tweaked the lowering and the rim size. Let me know what you think.
-
Sounds a bit too long for me, but I'll see how I feel closer to the day.
If you like, it's possible to moninate the leg you'd like to attand. Looks like we'll have a few people joinging us at Yarra Junction for the twisties.
-
Count me in! (if you dont mind an rx7 tagging along )
A mate of mine has a 33 so he'll most likley tag along also.
I'll join you guys from Leg 2 (Yarra Junction to Baw Baw)
Cheers
Liam.
Yea that sounds great! Bring as many as you like
-
could we make it earlier than 2 pm?
it'd be good to get back when the sun is still out
Not sure if we'd want to leave ealier than 2:30 as part of the fun will be going back through the forrest in the dark. However if enough people want to leave earlier then we can.
I remember coming back through the Black Spurs at night and it was awesome.
-
Sounds like a good cruise.. my dad (kevind - R32 GTR) is interested in doing this but will probably join in when you drive through noojee
if thats ok? we live in warragul so that would be the easiest option... we've down the twisties a couple of times & they're pretty good fun!
Meeting us in Noojee isn't a problem, however it isn't a sceduled stop. Chances are that we'll just be passing through. As far as i'm aware, as we enter Noojee, we'll be veering right at the strip of shops towards Baw Baw, so if you could be at that intersection a little early we can pick up up without stopping.
-
Long it is... We can divide the cruise into two legs. Those who want to do the full cruise and those who would like to meet us at Yarra Junction to do the twisties.
Taking in the beach, city and the mountains in one day might be strenuous for some.
So I guess there will be three options for those who want to come:
Leg 1 and 2 (Altona to Baw Baw)
Leg 1 (Altona to Yarra Junction)
Leg 2 (Yarra Junction to Baw Baw)
Please specify which leg you’re interested in doing.

Just posting an idea for a new cruise taking in the beach, city and mountains.
Full tank of fuel reccomended at first meet point
DATE: Saturday 19th of April
TIME: Meet at 2:00pm depart 2:30pm
TOTAL CRUISE TIME one way including stops (Approx): 4 - 4.5 HOURS
Meet Point: Car Park on the Esplanade between Maidstone St. and Rose Street in Altona (See attached image from Google Earth) Go over the West Gate Bridge and as soon as you step off, hang a left into Cook Street and continue towards Beach Street.
Approx 45min Drive to First Stop.
First Stop: Carpark on Marine Parade at the end of Blessington Street in St. Kilda. Approx time of arrival 3:15pm. We'll probably hang around for about 15 - 20 minutes.
From here we'll head to Dandenong Road (Pincess Highway) and travel as far as Warrigal Road where we'll turn onto the Monash Freeway. Take the Wellington road exit (C413) and continue to Clematis. Here we turn Left on the C412 (Belgrave Gembrook Road) Continue through the roundabout in Emerald, continue about 6kms and go straight though the roundabout onto the C411 towards Woori Yallock. Once we hit Woori Yallock turn right onto the B380 todards Yarra Junction.
Approx 1hr 45min drive to Second Stop.
Second Stop: Yarra Juntion Carpark Arrive at about 4:30. I don't know it's exact location, but it's on the left as you enter Yarra Junction from the City Ther is a big oval and toilets, you can't miss it. It's a gravel carpark. Again.. we'll probably be around for about 20 minutes. Have something to eat etc...
From Yarra Junction we'll continue towards Noojee, and on towards Mt. Baw Baw. I think there will be a $5 cover charge per car to enter the Baw Baw National Park. If people don't want to enter the park we can just turn around at the gate and head back down the twisties.
Approx. 1 Hour drive to Final Location.
Final Location: Carpark at the top of Mt. Baw Baw. Arrive at about 6:00pm. Stop here for a while and if the numbers are up take some pretty impressive photos.
There are some awesome fast twisties leading up to Noojee and losts of sharper, slower twisties towards Mt. Baw Baw.

I went aswell. It was a mad drive, my first time through the black spurs, will defiantly be going through there again. It was good only having a few cars, everyone was really good to go cruising with. Thanks for a great day!
How is the boost leak going that you found on the day? Is it serious?
The spurs were great, and the nice long open roads towards Eildon were nice and relaxing. Shame about all the bugs that were massacred on the windshield/ front bar on the way home at night.
I'll be looking at organizing another cruise in a few weeks time. Something a little longer and with more twisties to tackle. Keep a lookout for it. I'll see if I can post these pictures of the lookout at Maroondah Dam tonight.
