I'm not so fussed on the drive part given the stone chips I got last time I did a cotter cruise however would be nice to get all the cars together and catch up with everyone for an end of year BBQ.

Do people want a Saturday or a Sunday?

I'm in.. as long as it isnt on the weekend of 20-21Nov, 28-29Nov or 4-5Dec.. althought I might be able to make it if its on 4-5Dec. We could always do it on 27th 28th or 29th of Dec as they are all hols for me and most others.. I vote 28th Dec.. w00t cruise on bday :)

I also vote that we don't go towards Bungendore/Braidwood due to the increase five oh (I'm so gangsta!) activity due to summer and everyone else heading that way. If we can't find anywhere to cruise we should at least have a BBQ, if a location cannot be found we could have it at my house, that last couple large gatherings there were pretty successful

Yeah I can't do 4-5 Dec. I'm a better chance if it's a Sunday however if it's a Saturday it just depends which one and at what times.

Anything after Christmas is probably a no go for me as I'll have family shit to do.

We could just do a local cruise around Canberra, hope for a beautiful summers day. Start somewhere random (could just be Gravlia point), and finish at black mtn peninsula and have the bbq there. Or Weston Park?

5 Dec is "Chippas main street cruise"

http://www.chippasmainstreetcruz.com.au/

Ignore the fact that there's a VK on the cover. Although it is a sweet ride...

Chippa was a dear friend to me, and we hope to raise lots of money for the starlight foundation.

So everyone that wants to come to that please sign up and get amoungst it :)

So back to our own cruise.

I'd like to get out and have a bbq somewhere.

At the uriarra east reserve there's bbq's, the ones that manly men need to build fires in and get the plates hot. So that time of year they'll probably be out of action with some total fire ban rubbish...

Googong?? anyone been out that way?

In regards to the cruise part, I think if it's not the cotter, the only other place I can think of in ACT is Corin Forest. If you want to go further out, maybe out to Lake Burrinjuck, Lake George or the Coast.

There are a few nice BBQ area's around Lake Burley Griffin.

I like the idea of trashing Nim's place :)

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
