not as long as the 'chopper run' ......

but you know I have something "differant" lined up ......


Longrange forecast looks promising

 

Not sure if I am going to make it now.

Some total knobhead sold me a plenum bolt with a heat warped thread and now I have to replace my whole lower plenum because the bolt snapped off after only 3 turns. We tried all of the eazyout and nut welding methods. No workies! . . . .

Very sad and now a part worth a few dollars is going to cost me hundreds . . . .

Never buying anything off the forum again . . . period. LOL. Serious.

Please note:

I have taken the oportunity to delete the "through Geelong" section and use the Geelong Ring Road for all the options listed in my last post.

The reason for this change is the high degree of difficulty of getting 30~40 odd cars through Geelong without either loosing them or spreading the group out over a large area due to the traffic light situation.
The Ring Rd gives us an easy run and brings us to a point that is easy to find for all those attending this run. The Ring Rd is also far easier to get onto compared to trying to navigate all the cars into the city at the junction point.

Departure time from Melbourne - will depend on which route is chosen but should be around the usual 8.00~ 8.30am from the usual location

Geelong Meetup point for Geelong/western, & central Vic members will also be advised when the route is chosen

Meetup points - again will depend on the route chosen.


Actual route - see a couple of posts back & make a choice

 

Well, I don't mind which route..as long as there is time to sit down and catch up (not like last year)...
Will meet you guys in Torquay or what ever is the decided place..

 

Unable to get the zed fixed intime for this..
I'm out.

 

my zed might not be able to make it for this one...so maybe if anyone is willing to give me a lift

Ryan

 

I'll be there in the Skyline.

 

wow big list so far nicely done guys

 

If Blipman is commin in a Skyline, I might come after all in my mates S15!!
I thought it was just a Z run, well obviously it is predominantly... but 1 or 2 odd ones shouldnt hurt??

Anyone mind?


Elie

 

no man all good ..

just get there ......

 

In that case, maybe Ill bring the GTR ...haven't had the chance to take it on the GOR yet and this may well be the last time she'll get the option (with me as the owner anyway ).

Will talk to Renee and see what happens .

Cheers!

Craig

 

I may have a friend coming as well...

he has a HSV VR-X (one of those Astra turbo hot hatch thingies).

 

Damn you Craig..now who's gonna keep me company :bash:..may have to see if a friend wants to come along

 

my mate might come along in his 180 as well...

Also where is the meet and what time? Is it outbound kfc/shell 9am?

 

Oh..forgot to let ya's know..I got a swap at work

 

Meeting point problems

I wanted to flag this now so there are no issues later on. With all the road works, lane changes and just general bullshit going on the west gate freeway at the moment, the Shell servo / KFC there on todd rd may not be a suitable place as it has been in the past. Many of the lanes have been barricaded, and for people not familiar with the area, its quite easy to be in the wrong lane and then miss the entry lane into the servo. And there is no where nearby that you can turn around to some back. Anyone who drives the westgate often (as I do) will know what I'm talking about. With the amount of zeds and other cars attending so far, this could become problematic and delay the cruise. So do we keep the meeting point at todd rd and just suck it and see, or do we meet somewhere else??? trouble is, the next large servo along the route is the large BP servo near avalon.....

 

it's not that bad. just pay attention to the signs and not rely on the GPS and you won't miss it.

i took the day off work. won't be missing this one.
