Ok,

The next cruise is planned for Saturday April 24th. But seeming as though there are so many destination options we thought we'd give everyone a chance to vote for where they like to cruise to next.

1. Macedon Ranges - Hanging Rock.

There are some nice easy twisties in and around Woodend, Lancefield, Kyneton, as well as some FWY cruising. And Hanging Rock has a great carpark for photo's etc.

2. Warburton - Reefton Spur.

Good set of regular twisties going through the dandenongs, c0ckatoo, along the reefton spur - then from Warburton we have the option of travelling through Mt Donabuang etc. Long driving day.

3. Peninsular - Portsea Pub.

Again a nice cruise down with a good mix of twistes through places such as Arthurs Seat, Red Hill, plus some nice stopping points like the Portsea Pub for lunch if desired and Point Leo for photo's.

4. The Moon.

Requires Special means of transport. Very long cruise.

:ufo:

Chances are we will do all these cruises at some stage this year. But if you have a preference for the next destination speak up! The desitnation will be decided by April 8th.

:)

i also voted #1

could this be my first SAU cruise??

hey snowman and ash,

Is there any way you can put a ruff estimate of km's travelled for the different cruise options...also ruff guess of time to get then say from west gate bridge or somewhere central...as the gor was awsom but driving that long...far ..when i got home i felt like i was in a bathurst race...

THE OAK - I'd say both the Macedon Ranges and the Peninsular are roughly an hour and a half from the city. Both cruises involve going to a certain area and then kinda driving around in circles for a while on all the fun roads (if that makes sense) - as oposed to say the GOR which is just a long drive there and back. Warburton is probably an even longer days drive than GOR if you do the mountains as well.

But the beauty of both the Macedon and Penisular cruises is that you can decide on the length of driving based upon conditions as the time gets closer. But because of their proximity to the cbd we can probably have more stops between runs rather than 4hrs of continuous driving followed by an extended break.

Hope that helps.

Just wondering, are the cruises open to anybody?

Open to anyone that wants to come along mate.

More the merrier!

OAK - We can put a rough 'total' KM's travelled, does that help you out?

ie, i'll set my trip meter from my door step and check it on return?

But that is only once we decide on a route... as we aint actually 'planned' this yet.

So it's hard to say.

That would probably be all that we could offer.

Otherwise we are just going to spend too much time organising each cruise (on a chance we might not even do it)...

hence there will be less time for us to organise more cruises for all you boys.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
