Just wondering if this was still on cos I saw something interesting that CCG were doing on the same day.

Due to popular demand, the CCG has now come up with another Observation/Economy Run.

The run will be followed up with an Xmas BBQ.

***Observation/Economy Run Details***

Cost: $5 per vehicle

What you get: Detailed instructions to drive a course and see how observant you are while travelling around this great city of ours. Bonus points added for the more humorous answers.

There will be prizes awarded for: Best Fuel consumption, Most questions answered correctly, Most amusing answer and Worst fuel consumption (You may not want this prize - You have been warned)

Cars will be dispatched at 10 min intervals.

The cruise is based on the posted speed limits and there is no prize for getting to the end first (except maybe a couple of speeding tickets). The trip will take around 2 1/2 hours, cruise route is around 130k's and there is a BBQ at the end.

You must fill up your car before you leave the Fyshwick Servo (even if you filled the car up the day before, you will be required to do a splash and dash in front of those organising the event)

All petrol caps/flaps will be sealed to prevent unscrupulous behaviour or plain cheating. Material used for this will not harm paint in any way (we promise).

You will need to bring the following:

Pens - you never know when the only one in the car is going to stop working.

Navigator - why be alone? Besides, you need to blame someone for not reading the directions correctly.

Clip board or a hard surface - so you or your navigator can write down answers.

Money - to fill up before and after the run and for food and drink at the BBQ.

***Xmas BBQ Details***

For those unable to participate in the Observation/Economy Run, the BBQ will be at Pine Island and start from around 12pm.

Any questions can be directed to:

Is that CCG thing open to non members? Cos it sounds pretty damn cool...

Anyway, I'm up for a Christmas cruise!

Yeh, i've got no idea.

I've spoken to a few of them before. I can try and contact someone there but they would be at a disadvantage if we drive skylines there :P.

I was considering going there and taking photos.

sorry to get the discussion back on topic but i vote for 20th for xmas cruise. also just so people are aware, the cotter dam rebuild started about a week ago and i think there were intending on shutting down the park/bbq area just in front of the dam. that might mean road closures, so would be good to double check the route before a final decision is made...
