Christmas Cruise!

[CeJay]

I'll have a spare seat probably, if I get my car back today.

[CeJay]

Not sure If i'll make this now.

If the BBQ part of this was a little earlier and bit closer to town I'd like to actually make the BBQ part and catch up with people.

I got a lot of stone chips the last time I was on a Skyline cruise out that way and TBH I prefer to do it on my own when there aint so many cars.

[Shell]

Well that's just an idea pulled from the other thread.... if people would prefer to do something else I'm happy to change it I just thought ppl would prefer a bit of a "drive" rather than spending most of the time at a bbq area..

[Bluprint]

Kat - just go first

[GTRKat]

LOL

I just suggested it because sounds like few people won't have cars or are having problems with theirs now too so maybe then they could still come?

You kinda need brakes, they really help with the stopping thing....

What happend? I remember your car, it was smick as.

cheers oscar. it aint so smick now! throw in some track/skidpan days and a lack of money and it slowly goes downhill from there. as for the brakes, a seal in the reservoir decided it didn't like the heat and was slowly leaking every time i stood on the skids until it ran out of expensive brake fluid! lucky it didn't start happening until after the trackday a couple of weeks ago!

So incredibly bummed i couldn't make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CeJay]

you and me both

Was alot of fun, I did about 180 kilometers and used a quater of a tank by the time I got home. there were a good number of cars, maybe a could more would have been better. And that icecream truck was totally random.

James "I want an icecream"

Someone "Too bad the pub burnt down"

*Icecream truck music in distance*

Me "WTF!! Icecream trucks still exist?!?!?!"

Only two low points of the day:

1) no one bought utensils for the BBQ so we had to make tongs and spatulas out of cardboard (im looking at shell the "organiser" ) actually it wasnt really a low point, it was kind of funny watching everyone (including me) burning their fingers on the BBQ

2) and the stupid corolla with frangipanies that got in front of ZCR when we left the Cotter.. i got held up for aaaaaaggggggeeeeeeessssssssss and had to go through the tight twistie bits slowly but i caught up once i turned the boost up... 14psi ftmfw!! and apparently there was a stupid biker, but i was lagging behind at that stage.

highlight of the day.. overtaking the stupid frangapanie corolla in a cutting in 3rd on 14psi, fk 1Js sound good on full song.. also the mad flutters

does anyone else have a drivers tan? (right arm only)

glad everyone had fun. would've been better if i was there! dont know why though ice cream van ftw!

[Shell]

(im looking at shell the "organiser" )

what part of "BYO" don't you ppl understand? :D

It wasn't so bad anyway, someone rustled up some newspaper to clean with and it was pretty easy to flip the sausages. But you're right, was funny

There was 2 stupid bikers going super slow which we got stuck behind for a bit, and then another stupid one who flew past us all and the slow bikers at stupid speed. PMSL when he got the pinky finger by the car in front of me

[Donnan]

It was a good day. Good cars, good company, no silliness and no broken cars.

A big thanks to everyone who made it and an even bigger Nelson 'Ha ha!' to those who couldn't.

Great work Shell!

My car has been running like total crap lately underpowered and sluggish and after that cruise and getting to open it's lungs a fair bit through the twisty stuff

it now runs a million times better ...
