Just wondering if this was still on cos I saw something interesting that CCG were doing on the same day.

Due to popular demand, the CCG has now come up with another Observation/Economy Run.

The run will be followed up with an Xmas BBQ.

***Observation/Economy Run Details***

Cost: $5 per vehicle

What you get: Detailed instructions to drive a course and see how observant you are while travelling around this great city of ours. Bonus points added for the more humorous answers.

There will be prizes awarded for: Best Fuel consumption, Most questions answered correctly, Most amusing answer and Worst fuel consumption (You may not want this prize - You have been warned)

Cars will be dispatched at 10 min intervals.

The cruise is based on the posted speed limits and there is no prize for getting to the end first (except maybe a couple of speeding tickets). The trip will take around 2 1/2 hours, cruise route is around 130k's and there is a BBQ at the end.

You must fill up your car before you leave the Fyshwick Servo (even if you filled the car up the day before, you will be required to do a splash and dash in front of those organising the event)

All petrol caps/flaps will be sealed to prevent unscrupulous behaviour or plain cheating. Material used for this will not harm paint in any way (we promise).

You will need to bring the following:

Pens - you never know when the only one in the car is going to stop working.

Navigator - why be alone? Besides, you need to blame someone for not reading the directions correctly.

Clip board or a hard surface - so you or your navigator can write down answers.

Money - to fill up before and after the run and for food and drink at the BBQ.

***Xmas BBQ Details***

For those unable to participate in the Observation/Economy Run, the BBQ will be at Pine Island and start from around 12pm.

Any questions can be directed to:

Is that CCG thing open to non members? Cos it sounds pretty damn cool...

Anyway, I'm up for a Christmas cruise!

Yeh, i've got no idea.

I've spoken to a few of them before. I can try and contact someone there but they would be at a disadvantage if we drive skylines there :P.

I was considering going there and taking photos.

sorry to get the discussion back on topic but i vote for 20th for xmas cruise. also just so people are aware, the cotter dam rebuild started about a week ago and i think there were intending on shutting down the park/bbq area just in front of the dam. that might mean road closures, so would be good to double check the route before a final decision is made...

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
