The Bad.Well first off , l was totally disappointed by the turnout (15 cars l think)

And by the end off the day there was 5 cars going home in a convoy , and 3 stayed back for the motel.

The good.

It was a great day for driving , lots of sunshine (except later in got cloudy)

Everybody behaved & no major trouble.

We even managed to do the route that the 2nd day squad would have driven on Sunday.

Passed the 12 Apostles and onto Port Campbell before coming back.

well any way heres a link to some PHOTOS.

Ye was a rather dismal turnout considering we normally get 50 cars, and we book the hotel out WITHOUT taking money. Guess people will have to pre-pay from now on :ermm:

Easy drive down/back. Not one caravan for a change hehe.

I was going to come back to the motel till 6/7pm or so, but work got the better of me.

I spent all lunch working whilst @ the fish'n'chips shop and then had to leave immediately :(

Bit of a downer in that respect as i reckon the 2nd day is the best part of it all!

as others have said bit of a disapointing turnout, but otherwise was a good cruise, no troubles, weather held up and not many slow drivers through the twisties which was good

i had a great time, for the group who drove back sorry i was driving a bit slow, was because i relaised my stock suspension is pretty bad in terms of handeling but having 6.5inch wide rear wheels with approx 170kw at the wheels wasnt really helping either

good news is coilovers n strut brace are goin in this week so should be ready for the next official

will post up some of the pics i took throughout the day later on when i get them on my pc

I had an awesome time...

Sorry I took off when Ash did... ...I'd forgotten that I had told my GF I'd take her to her friends place for dinner...

I'll get my photos and videos up soon...

wow that comment sounds like this :P

It was a great cruise... despite the small turnout. Was expecting to see at least 30 cars...

weather was perfect and traffic wasn't too bad. There were a few slow cars on the GOR but most pulled aside to give us a clean run. Had an awesome time and great to meet you guys who turned up.

i was bummed i couldn't make it due to moving into new house and trying to get swimming pool sorted out and everything setup and installed. Perhaps the fact that 98 octane fuel was $1.63 a litre on Saturday had something to do with the low turnout.

that is just awesome!

most times people just sit there keeping you back knowingly.... like that 4wd from GOR day 2 2009

Lucky i filled up on Friday night when it was still a manageable 1.40 after 4c Coles discount for V-power

Well was a bummer to see only 15 cars turning up, considering the last GOR cruise with 50 cars, but nevertheless it was a fun day with good weather and some good twisties with less traffic, Its good that we did all of the stage 2 route on the 1st day itself... Was definitely worth it!!! :)

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
