Are we allowed to organise a cruise up this way? Or does it have to be down there?

As i've said to strutto, after drag combay (probably fortnight after) we are organising a big meet like the one last year where we had 35 skyrices turn up :P

Lets aim for more eh?

Kudos to strutto for organising a great run. heaps of great looking 'lines, even though we got left behind in the mad rush to the top of the mountain, thanks James for coming back and showing us the way down, James mentioned he was going to be "taking it easy" on the way down, YEAH RIGHT :P !

Got some good pics, just having a bit of trouble figuring out how to upload them here, once I do I'll post here so you all can have a squiz.

NismoGirl I am sure we could top 35, if the 20 or so that made it down plus anyone from the northside came, that would be a great turnout!

Yeah guys I had fun fisrt time I had been out on a cruise since I lost my licence,

Thanks heaps predator for letting me tag along with you. Your a champ.

And everyone else for not even replying to me ha ha its all good.

Hopefully next one i will have my car back.

Hope to see some pics also.

Cyas :P

arh ****, i jsut wrote a huge reply and it stuffed up.

congrants to the organises and everyone that came.

next time, we shoudl bring cb's and stuff so that nobody gets lost. and waiting at the next turn for the rest to catch up. but i didnt have a problem keeping up. was very fun, glad to come on many more cruises.

good to see the gold coast side of people getting bigger.

i reckon if we can get a huge cruise, it would be awesome to get a pic of everyone's rear parker lights in a line of about 40 cars.

Overslept, late for work, Black friday not going so well. On the other hand I had a great time last night, :headbang: first time I've been to one of your get togethers. Kudos to Strutto for organising it.

I turned around because my front right wheel was making some not cool sounds whenever I hit a slightly larger bump. Awesome to put names (and cars) to faces. Looking foward to the next one allready. And nismogirl, what me? drive fast? :innocent: . I'll have to meet you next time you're out.

Well I got this shot but only of the last group of 8 that got left behind, as we had a smoke stop at the top, looks nice, but you can only really make out the first three cars, then it just gets too dark, maybe if everyone had their brakes on, maybe, all good thoughts for next time :)

Was an excellent turn out and good to match some names up...

The sight coming down the hill from bp as we left was crazy, skylines all the way down...

Some of the overtaking methods when we ran into traffic on the mountain were ummmmm'interesting' lol

Was a good run even though we got split up a bit...

I shat my pants when i was catching up after some traffic and did a 180 on a t intersection during the rain, only to look in my rear view and see Aaron do a full 360 lmao that was some slippery ass road there!

yhea was a great turn out. I headed into the city after woulds, and just woke up now. my lines out the front and I dont know what the **** happened, or how I got home. I didnt drive thats for sure.

but yeah great to meet some of the people on this site, it was well worth the drive down, until we got seperated >=[ Have to have a brissy cruise next time.

Yeah, was a good turnout. Wish I had the luxury of just getting out of bed, didn't get home till about 12:30ish and have already finished work, just walked in the door. Nothing that an afternoon snooze won't fix. Don't know when I will be able to attend again, I will be very busy from here on in especially during the week.

Yup.. great night. Good to finally meet some QLD dudes - didn't get to find out who everybody was, but I'm sure over the next few events will get to know some people a bit more.

Some hardcore mountain running which was good, and nobody came acroppa so even better :)

Those from Brisbane should'a come down.. 30mins or so from Brisbane is hardly far, and its just off the M1 anywayz. Was easily worth the trip.

Pity I forgot my digi camera at the last minute.. stupid me.

GO TEAM //GC .. even though i don't live there! lol, although actually i am technically "north" of the goldcoast :(

Wrong James, James...

 

Erin is talking about BelGarion aka James aka got a slow car but it goes real fast aka I can drive faster than everyone...

 

Glad everyone had a good time...

Ahh, That explains it. I thought that was weird seeing as I don't know erin.

also sent pm.

Well I have uploaded some pics, but now it seems I cant, I keep getting an erro when I try, so enjoy the first couple here:

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
