Adz and scotsman, you better be in its only about 5 mins from your location's i believe. I should be there, prolly working during the day, but i should be able to get it off. Was up the dandies last night with friends, had a whole lotta fun espically when you run out of brakes on the last two corners just before the lights at the bottom of the hill.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

should meet up and discuss ideas, i work up in MtD, actually im about to head up there right now, so i knows the roads pretty well...

Brad / Jarrod - I'm fully open to suggestions for this cruise! It was really just a simple plan I had anyways as the area isn't massive.

I was thinking we should try and meet at the base in FGully. And get up the top at 5ish as it will just be getting towards sunset and should look pretty cool. Then head down to Monbulk via the Olinda - Monbulk Rd as that road rocks, then make the way back to FGully. But as I said any other idea's are more than welcome.

But remember - twighlight at the end of June and possibly a decent number of cars so about as bad conditions as you can get so I want to keep things simple and safe for everyone. Its more of a meet-up than a typical SAU cruise this one.

Also - it seems a few people are keen for a social drink too. Any suggestions? In town somewhere or say chapel st? Be good to either go somewhere that will get better as the night goes on but is still fun to start - or somewhere thats close to the action for later.

Yeah, agreed, i just had to drive up there and back and well... its damn foggy, wet and the roads are covered in crud.

I basically take the route you described almost every 2nd day, the other option is the moutain hwy and back thru olinda-monbulk rd.

could be some good photo ops at skyhigh thou?

*glance at ns2500*

but as you said pretty bad conditions atm

If the weather is sh!t im not going on the cruise. Definitely up for a social meet though... so I can meet the rest of you monkeys :D

Any ideas where to go? I vote for Crown coz it's close to home for me :(

:.

Has the venue for the social meet up been decided yet?

I'm always down to go somewhere that serves good food... I suggest we head to the Crown Pub!

Good priced meals, full licensed bar.. not to mention the occasional stunning chicks wandering around :rofl:

Oh Did I mention I live 5 mins from Crown? :( haha

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
