You guys just disappeared so I slowed right down for about 5 mins and still no one to be seen. I too got an evil stare from the Kodak patrol but luckily they had a bunch of bikes that were doing stupid crap in front of me that they were more interested in.

Well out of the 2 cruises i've been on, this was by far the best because everyone was socialable, stuck together while on the road (something that seems to go amiss on others) without even a glimpse of stupidity and from go to woh, only approx 4hrs in which there was plenty of time at the spit to chill! If the qld club did something like this but maybe with a $1 sausage sizzle at the spit for a quick social event every now and then i'd be there with bells on

C'mon down john! Eagar for those photos mate :P

hehe, just waitin for carlee tonight to send me the pics. its all on her digital camera. once I got them, i'll post them all up.

cruise was awesome. though there was only us 5 cars (total of 7 of us), it was a enjoyful day where we socialised pretty well by standin on the road cookin our skin for about 20mins and goin red, then movin over into the shade.

if every sunday becomes free for me like it was yesterday, im more then happy to do this every sunday afternoon and yeah, we should put on a bbq. since i'm NOT the even co-ordinator, we could always take our own meat along and cook it up!

Love to but i'll be in melbourne this weekend :) But I was told once that life does go on when i'm not around! Who would've thunk it. :lol:

Keen for another one though at a later date. It was an enjoyable little cruise and get together!

I'm more up for it each Sunday afternoon. I would have to say it's alot better being down the coast of a Sunday afternoon then a Saturday night.

I start work 4am this Sunday and finish around 10am. So, if I'm still up and about, I'm up for another Sunday cruise down to the spit. I'll look around this sunday if I do go for any BBQ's within the area we were sitting in. Would be good to have a BBQ as well!

hahahahahahahahaha did someone say usually not many cops at the spit????

f**k me dead its worse then bwcp. sumtimes u will get lucky and c like 1 or 2 the whole day, but most times i go there they sit at the entrance, which is the only exsit, and radio down to cops waiting at defect stations, or they will just have the usual setup on the side of the road were they arse rape u on the fly.

take it from a regular spitter, u go there, its all bueatifull with the nice views and all the nice cars and no cops, but the next weekend you will neally have to sell ya car to pay for fines. hahahaha, trust me ive ridden home with mates in tow trucks b4 cause the cops are that bad there.

just a friendly warning, but yeh ill still go, cops dont scare me, u cant avoid em, hell i got defected 8am in the morning on the way to work just b4 christmas hahaha

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
