S.a. May Barossa Cruise

[Tommy Kaira RL]

Thanks for the great morning everyone. Good to see the cruises getting bigger. Finally there were more M35s this time. Cant wait to see the vid and some photos.

Just back from our first Stagea cruise...it was awesome !

Massive thanks to those who organised it as an "all terrain drive" cruise LOL ...well most of us had 4WD capability so that was OK (just joking)

Seriously, we were humbled to meet such a delightful group of peeps who are so passionate about their cars. Your warm welcome into the group was

greatly appreciated & (for us)it was heaps nice to see couples & kids on a cruise.

We very much look forward to the next one ! (maybe we can be tempted into organising a winter cruise...end up in a pub with an open fire for lunch)

Great day out, thanks for organising it Glenn, and thanks to Brad and Dunc for the rides.

What did we learn?

1. Stagea's are awesome on dirt
   
2. Dunc's car goes much better than mine
   
3. Billy drives like an old mole
   

Roads were my kind of thing, a nice mix but some good twisty stuff. Shame car wasn't going but will be tomorrow.

If you're planning a cruise ending at a pub for lunch Mark, count me in. Sounds awesome, maybe up through the hills to Lobethal, Birdwood or the like?

And Glenn, I have to ask, was the dirt intentional? Or did you take a wrong turn?

Great day out, thanks to everyone that came out. It was good to meet a few new people

Looks like you all had a good day though. We'll be at the next one for sure.

great day out today guys. thanks for organising it glenn. As all have said, it was a great turnout. good to see some fresh faces and seeing some stagea cruise repeat offenders too!

Hope you get your radiator sorted 4bidn1 from what I saw the radiator looked the same as my R33 on the top but mine didnt have the auto cooling at the bottom.

Im spewing I had to leave early I would of liked to get on the dirt road.

Also a pub lunch sounds like a good idea for next run looks like you've called it Mark & Jules

Great photos so far everyone. Did anyone take a count at the begining. M35s to C34s

[OLDS]

Not sure about M35 vs C34 but there were exactly 20 stageas at the beginning @ Bunnings (we can do the headcount via the photo's)

...just done a quick pic headcount & I make it 6 M35's...maybe someone else can see more.

We've done north and south now, but how about an eastern cruise up through the hills?

[Big Fella]

sounds like big kev has put his hand up to organise the next one!!!!

but seriously tho, if you wanna get something going olds mark that would be killer, just make sure the pub has plenty of parking, we should be aiming for 30 stageas next time.

there were a few absentees this time

[Big Fella]

oh yeah, and big kev, is that video finished yet, you've been home for a few hours now, surely it's all done!

[bigkevracer]

Hey Robbie, blow it out your fat arse!

Seriously though, if I get time in the next 2-3 weeks I'll have a crack at a route. Looked at the map before and got a rough idea.

[Big Fella]

typical m35 owner, can't handle the pressure for the OG stagea drivers!

[bigkevracer]

Lol don't give me that, I can take your shit and then some

Is anyone interested in a twistier hills cruise?

[Dunc]

Great cruise, was really good to see a bunch of new faces place some of the regulars

I need to be less slack, and take more photos, but heres a couple that I managed to get around to taking!

And Ryan, just do the damn video

[4bidn1]

Yeah my misses will like that idea, she enjoyed today but complained there was no good hills time, think she likes to see me gripping on to the jesus with my jaw clenched. im just not used to being in control lol
