Some of you may have read that for ages we've been thinking of a run to some towns in the South West.

Of course we all have different ideas of what this should entail.

It also seems that it is difficult to suit everyone (actually read impossible).

So I am organising a run through Mandurah, Bunbury, Collie, and an overnight stay at Qunidanning Hotel (which has to be one of the quaintest hotels anywhere).

I am aiming for the 6th, 13th or 20th of June. Personally I am going to leave our daughter in Perth and make a little more romantic.

All the accomodation is in Double rooms. The run will be restricted to 16 people. Whether you bring a partner or not is up to you.

The accomodation cost is $70/two persons for Room and Continental Breakfast and $80 with cooked breakfasts.

$50 for a single person, and $60 for cooked breakfast option. You will still sleep in a double or Queen size bed regardless.

The 'Pub' part would rival any English pub, with good hospitality and a great log fire to boot.

Be aware there are NO SHOPS in Quindaning, just the Hotel, PO, and a couple of houses!

This would be a great place to have a few beers and tell a few yarns around the fire (or piano) before final orders and bed.

Check it out at http://www.quindanninghotel.com

We will come back through Dwellingup and Pinjarra on the Sunday, Probably stopping in Pinjarra for a bite on the way back.

I can promise some nice winding roads and great scenery.

I am going to leave this as a Stagea WA run, but if we can't get enough takers then I throw it open on the Skyline forum.

Please give me an indication of your interest.

Oh and John- Lotty works in Tourism and Hospiltality and told me to give you big thumbs up for planning this.

Yeah Sean we will have to pay as soon as I get the booking date sorted. (so that I don't get lumbered with 12 extra rooms for Iolanda & I)!!

Thanks for the support.

OOPS I just realised that I can't make it on the 20th & 21st :blink: ........I have an expo on.

So my preference is now 6-7th June.

Please note this is not for couples only, just for people who want to mix, and appreciate the country side, driving their Stagea and at the same time making a donation to the economy by burning fuel.

We will have numerous stops, (no doubt!) for Food, Fuel, and photos.

If you decide to bring children, that's your choice. I just want to make the driving a little easier, (and the get together at the pub), so that I don't have to keep hearing "are we there yet" etc.

I have tried to plan this as a break!

For some reason I cannot edit the post, and take out the dates! If a moderator can help here that'd be great.

Gee I really thought that people would get into this!

A chance to have a great cruise, do a bit of bonding in some nice locations!

Ha ha..... oh well, I guess that the majority of Stagea owners, bought them to be different and so most of us are indivualistic. Goes with the territory 'spose.

I'll give this a few more days and post it onto the main SAU page.

At least it looks like 2 Stagea's will be going........ the rest can sit at home an whinge about never having any meetings organised.

ROFLMAO :laughing-smiley-014: "but iam in to footy"....... now that's the understatement of the Century!!!

Yeah Charlie, I would have made it on a "bye" weekend (or is that a "bi")... but really I thought August was a tad too far, and the weather may not be as good....... but then you just never know.

Anyway plenty of other cruises....

Aw, pity Tim. You were the only bachelor!!

Now what is the barmaid going to do?

I think that you should raid your piggy bank (or get your girlfriend to pay).

Excuses, excuses, excuses....

Family, job, hobby, wife, kids, garden, house.. you name it :D

It all comes back to the priorities. We live only once (unless someone here is a cat but that's a different story), we all socializing here and we all (well at least many of us) are complaining every now and then that we dont have many activities... and when opportunity comes - bingo ! only 4 cars going to turn up...

I am not going to say much or put shame on anyone; i am not going to ask anyone to reconsider their decisions. But i am going to repeat myself - it's all about priorities. Period.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
