Weekend Cruises

[Glenieboy]

Thought i might start a Cruises Forum.We can all put in some ideas about where you'd like to drive to.I was thinking we could do a coast run.We could all meet at a place that is convenient for everyone then all head off as a group.For example if we all chose the (Bay) we could stop in at braidwood for refreshments,also check out the model shop,(Which is a bloody good shop)if ya into 1:18 scale cars. From there we all head to the (bay),Once there,get some lunch or afternoon tea,depending on what time we get there.Have a chat and get to know any new faces,then once our belly's are full and we've had a good yak! We could all head back to canberra.We could even do a trip throu the brown mountains, and throu Bega etc. So! idea's idea's. Also a good thing will be if anyone is unlucky and there car stops working, they wont be short of help,and if someone falls behind we should pull over in a safe spot and wait till they have caught back up.I think if we go as a group we should arrive as a group. It will turn more heads,thats for sure. So! what ya's reckon. Where would you's like to go.

I'm up for a cruise to the coast, it's been done before, but I'm sure theres people here who havent gone there with sau, Going to bega is a fair way though. Wouldn't mind checking out the shop you mentioned in braidwood either.

It's a good shop.The guy seems to get cars you cant find in most places. It was the only place i could find a R33 GTR V Spec, unfortunatly it's only a 1:64 scale as they dont do 1:18,but you can get R32's and R34's in 1:18 and there are many different types. The last time i was there he said he had a little over 500 cars on display. And each one different.It bloody looked like it too.

was thinking of just a small cruise in the coming weeks on a sunday out to cotter or tinbinbilla go look at emu's or something not sure what the national park will think of a whole heap of skylines going through there but they have a mad play ground and bbq area

MR2 Club loves the tidbinbilla runs. The route that we take has variety of roads from fast curves to tight hair pins, up hills & down hills... all at speed limit of 100km/h, so you can still have fun while being legal.

This is our usual short cruise route:

- from Cotter Rd

- Right turn to Uriarra Rd

- Cross the little bridge up north

- Left turn to Brindabella Rd (hair pins)

- back on Cotter Rd (near Cotter dam)

- Paddy's River Rd

- Discovery Drive (Australia's smoothest road)

- Stop at Tracking station for coffee & snack

- Head back to Canberra

I drew a map for this year's MR2 Nationals where 1st half is above (Map 1 ~ 7)

In fact, Brindabella Road was once voted one of the best roads in Australia by some Motorcycle riders association.

Come and cruise with our friendly MR2 folks! Skylines are officially invited.

That'd take a whole day that cruise Anthony! =O

One of those cruise usually about 2~3 hours - most of that will be chatting in the car park, eating or taking photos.

Drive itself will take about half an hour - depends on the traffic.

But it's a great drive, right in our Canberra's backyard. Recommend it.

Yeah it's a drive I've done a few times before, barring all the way up to Corin dam as the road's usually been closed when I try to go up there.

Honeysuckle and Orroral Valley FTW!

[Glenieboy]

Count me in. I'm always up for a cruise.

[CeJay]

Know a few people who might be in on this, one has a 20b cosmo, other has an mr2. Would this be a multi marque cruise?

I cant wait for a massive cruise with all clubs involve. The last time I went on one of them was in my mates truck.... skylines, trucks, celica's.. it was enourmous.. started from the museum to cotter.. I forget the cause tho. Few years back.

[Baconer]

I like the sound of that. Any cruise is a good cruise.
