Post Autosalon cruise...

[funkymonkey]

dun think the general public would be bothered cruisin a week after another club's cruise...

then again, that's what MCCR is there for, an open any car cruise club. I reckon we'd be wanting the attention of skyliners, but then again anyone's open to come with us /me points at Horus. Soo I don't really think that we'd be in competition with MCCR.

But yeah, if we don't organise sumfin it'll make us look i dunno... sorta unorganised?

[R31Nismoid]

MCCR are no competition as such.

with all the bad publicity they've been getting lately i dont think a lot will wanna be associated with it.

there will be the usual fools.

But the majority of people aint that silly. Plus being a Sky specific club gives us the skyline edge... not that other cars aren't welcome as you said funkey!

[ApacheX]

so wats gonna happen? are we all gonna organise something?

[whistla]

distribute stickers/shirts, finalising

[skylineakt]

Yeah I think that a cruise should be organise.

Maybe SAU can have some flyers or something at the stand during MAS. . That will attract some skyliners and new members to SAU. Something like SKYLINE BIG DAY OUT!! hehe

A country cruise is a good idea. What about a cruise up to Lake Eildon (Eildon)?? Is that too far?? You get to go through the Black Spur and it's a pretty good drive. Takes about 2hrs it think.

[predator]

Black Spur is a good drive..

Could drive to Marysville, have lunch/bbq there.. and then back again - that would be a good day out..

Up to the grampians.. around there, and back - although i think that is lot of flat highway driving.

Lysterfield, mount dandenong, then back..

Further suggestions??

[R31Nismoid]

SUGGESTION:

dont go on a route that is known for hard driving.

last thing you need is a new Sky with a driver you don't know on a cruise... They push it in front of you, loose it and then take you out and wohever else is around.

I don't mind going up a Mt dandy or something with the usual boys as i know how they all drive and thier sensibilty levels.

Just my thoughts that's all.

[skylineakt]

That's true R31

Either one would be a good cruise.

It will be my first cruise with you guys does that mean I can't come?? haha

I used to live up that way (Maryville) so I know the road ok. The drive is not that hard, just the Black Spur, then it is pretty flat after that. I think it is easier than Mt Dan in some ways.

Lets organise something real soon..

MAS is only 3 days away!!

Cheers

Maybe.. but that could happen anywhere - if a person can't drive they can't drive. i *suppose* (bored yawn) its something to take into consideration.

[R31Nismoid]

driving hard around mountainous areas and blind corners is a little different to straight/light suburb style cruises.... that's what i think. Not saying everyone else has to have the same view.

Big meet and long cruise, but not up places like that, if it's damp then that makes it worse.

I don't trust peoples driving that i dont know. Espcially if they got a bit of power behind them you can get in trouble very quickly.

[predator]

Will your car be back on road in time for a cruise Predator??

Depends.. pulled my wheel of yesterday, and found out my tie rod is bent like a banana. I've either got to pull it off and straighten it, or track down a new one and install it.. Depends whether the person who hit me insurance covers it properly..so might be a while

[R31Nismoid]

How about another GOR run then?

all the way to apollo bay like last time?

[qikshift]

im up for that apollo bay isn't as crowded as lorne... when u thinking dude?

mark

[R31Nismoid]

no where near as crowded.

plus remember it's school holidays no MORE!

so all the surf coast towns are dead again

Maybe in 3-4 weeks?

mid/late august... that way it might be a 'bit' warmer?

i dunno. we had a good turn out last time.

[qikshift]

yeah i agree.... i think every1 will need a lil break after the MAS, and that timeframe would prob be really good and hopefully a lil warmer

just dont make it on the 15th-17th of aug though hhehe i'll be at falls creek (bit of a contridiction there oh well heheh).

maybe the week 9th or the 10th... therefore its not to long after the MAS.. bit gives time for abit of recovery ...

what does every1 think?

mark

[Al]

GOR always sounds good!

Any meet realy, but GOR is always up there wit the best, lets just get this up and going. If we keep on talking about it, it will never happen

[qikshift]

well i think the 9th or 10th of aug? does any1 else agree? if so ill start organising if now one else wants too?

[skylineakt]

Let's make it the 9th. Would be good to relax for a day after the cruise before going back to work. Give time to wash car haha.

But than again maybe some people will still have some alcohol left in their body from Friday night. . hehe.

Yeah let's do it. Still have like 3 weeks to plan for it and let everyone know about it. But is there a BBQ area in Apollo Bay?? I can't remember last time I went down that way. But I guess there is aways some sort of BBQ somewhere there. Just make a late DETOUR!!
