For those of you who don't know, one of the 12 Apostles collapsed over the weekend, leaving only 8 of the limestone rock formations left.

If you have not yet driven to Port Campbell to see these, then I suggest you make it a priority for a spare weekend, before there are none left. Since I first saw them on a school excursion almost 20 years ago - the London Bridge formation has collapsed also.

The drive along the Great Ocean Road is nothing short of spectacular - and makes a fabulous weekend away. The Golden Chain motel in Port Campbell even has spa rooms - perfect for a 'wink wink' weekend away :P

As a club, we try to have at least 2 drives down the Great Ocean Road every year - the first having been in March. We'll try to plan another one later in the year to take advantage of nicer weather, and hope that in the meantime, nature plays nicely and the rest of the Apostles stay there.

20 years ago, now you are showing your age! :uh-huh:

I have done the drive a couple of times and enjoyed it immensly. Maybe a remembrance cruise needs to be organised for the demise of the 9th Apostle.

im thinking about going for a drive with my mate down the GOR on Sunday morning depending on weather and if i go out on saturday night

ye no probs dude, my mate should be coming with his R1 and he never takes it out in the rain so ye just depends on the weather and if we go out the night before

any 1 else interested?

Could your arm be twisted to go if weather is good???

Arm is quite twistable, but the weather this weekend is looking quite crap. That being said, I'm sure every man & his dog will take the opportunity to head down this weekend.

I'll have a chat to a few mates and see when they're interesting in making the pilgrimage.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
