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.

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.

We are IN like FLYNN!

we are free all 3 of the dates -

Shall we book our room once we settle on dates?

I am not on here all that often so perhaps PM me or give me a call on the mobile if anything changes

sounds good and lotty seems keen as

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.

yeah.. I expected a bit more of a response too.

G`day Sean did you really,as seen so often it`s hard to get any one to get sorted as most don`t seem bothered,it`s dissapointing but that`s the way it`s is with are Fellow owner`s as i did say i would go but iam in to footy & we`er playing saturday`s so i pissed that i can`t get along :) ,but will look forward to JULY as it`s a great chance to give the Stagea a work out :wub: ,Not that i don`t do that any way :) ,BUT you can now give us the HEAD`S UP on what the hotel`s like & may be put another one together at later date :P ,LET`S HOPE WE CAN GET FEW MORE OUT & ABOUT ON NEXT DATE,cheer`s chuckie.

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....

Wow, sounds like some good fun on the horizon! I'm in. I'm just sorry i didn't see this sooner.

Thanks John for messaging me about this, I'm free for all of the above, but it seems that 6th - 7th Is the preferred?

Ah! I can't come... sorry guys, looking at my finance for the next 2 months, an apprentice like me won't be able to afford it... Sorry again

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).

I closed up bar with a Barmaid once.. biggest mistake ever.. oh the headache!

so is this event stilll a goer or what???

Hi Sean, Yeah mate! very much a goer..... I have thrown it open to the Skylines and Club motivate, so now out of about 400 readings we have 4 cars.... I'll leave you to read into that whatever you like.

So far...........

Sean & Loretta

Steve & Amanda

Andrei & Anna, (& Anton)

John & Iolanda.

Funny eh... I thought Stagea People liked to cruise? Oh well!

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.

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
