I'm going to propose it again!

Lets do a run out to wisemans ferry.

The recent classic celica cruise was awesome with great roads and a nice park with BBQ at the half way point.

The ferry is easy to get cars onto , and alot of the road on the north side has been resurfaced with wooden bridges replaced too!

Whatya think?

Matt

Yup definitely up for it. What month/date you looking at?

Up for it if it is on a right day =]
Uni exams sucks

sounds like a plan i just got my car back with nice fresh coat of paint so up and running now

lol your fresh coat of paint wont be fresh for long if u go on those roads :|

Harden up!

The roads have been improved 10 fold since I was out there a couple of years ago ( and they werent bad then).

If you have built a show car then dont come, if you enjoy driving , you will have a great day!

I'm easy with the date. If students are worried about exams etc, then nominate a day and we'll plan for then.

I just want to get something on the horizon for Sydney peoples!

Matt

Any day from the 20th to the 26th of June is good for me
(where sadly I will go back to HK again)
(and bring some goodies back) :)

i'll be in if there is no speed humps at all

if im not tied up ill be there for sure :)

I went recently in a track prepped evo6 and i tell you now, the roads are shit. Yes they have repaved some of it but if you plan to push the car through the roads be assured there are still front bar damaging dips and holes throughout the drive. Unless you don't care about big stone chips and random ditches that bend control arms and nip rims, go for your life, but i guess it does depend on how hard you drive around there.

I enjoy driving, and ive been on a enough rexy & evo cruises there to know that my car will definitely not survive it, well at least at the speeds they throw them.

If its a soft drive ill come but I'm not risking damage to anything.

Don't worry, I'll drive soft with you :)

Its all about taking appropriate equipment. A track prepped evo (or a track prepped anything) is not something that is suitable to go tearing around Aussie back roads in. The roads arent that bad, I have Tein Monoflex ( set to 00 00 this day) 40 series tyres and my car is as low as any remotely legal car, I dont recall any potholes or dips that were worth worrying about. The bridges are concrete now, and the road as a whole would be 10 times better surface than the old pacific hway, and definately better (and safer) than the royal nasho. So if you are happy with those roads then you wont have a problem out here.

You can drive as fast or as slow as you want.

Ill be driving slow to take in the scenery.

Check this out to see how its done. I would propose a different route in, but this one was ok for large groups of mixed cars.


TOYMODS CRUISE TO WISEMANS FERRY

i'm interested, any date after 16 jun is fine... :D

I'm interested - can't do it on a Sunday though - have soccer.

enkei + wisemans fail :( ill try make it, ill sit at the back driving slowly :)

Can someone let me know on a date I would be very keen if it was a Saturday! Please inbox me!!!

BTW im in Wagga Wagga so I'm driving all that way for a cruise none of you has an excuse!!!

What did you hit?
Or
How fast are you going?

Don't worry Nick, I'm with you :)

So what are we looking at Saturday or Sunday?

- 27th June weekend
- 4th July weekend
- 11th July weekend

Or any others ;)

How about putting up a vote for the preferred days?

When is Shane back from his holidays anyone knows?

i should be able to organise for any of those :)

sounds like ill be hanging back to then if its that bad :S

Lol
None of those dates ><

I believe he's out until 22nd June 2009.

July weekends are good for me, prefer sunday.

Prefer later in July.

Still trying to organise a skidpan day in July, also Toymods Dyno day 19th of July and a group of us are going to WSID on the 8th?

All welcome!

More than 2 people agree on a date and Ill do some maps.

Matt

Well ill be keen on that skidpan day Yojimbo Canberra isnt far for me... As for late July thats perfect just let me know!

Im definately keen for a cruise day, just not sure about Wisemans as I definately do not want to damage my rims :rolleyes:

As a possible alternative what do you think about doing a Putty Rd cruise Matt?

Putty Road is notorious for attention from the blue.
Wisemans is not.

Seriously, take your time if you are worried about your rims, personaly I think there is more likely hood of damage on the pacific hway in artarmon.

Shane, we can take it easy with Nick :)

BTW, how was your trip? Photos?

OK Deal.

The trip was amazing!

Pics? Oh about 8GB worth to sort through B)

I only flew in yesterday after departing Zurich on Fri night, I haven't had time to sort and edit my pics just yet! :rolleyes:

Come on all, we all have cars to DRIVE no matter what the road condition is - don't be soft - we all just have to take extra caution - let's make this happen!

Ok, so 11th July? This Saturday? 10 am meet for 10.30 depart. Gets us there in time for a better chance at a BBQ.

Voice your concerns if you have any, meet point up for suggestions.

ISM dyno day....

I may possibly be able to make it..

where are we meeting?

hmm.

dunno the solution.

go anyway?

Sorry, I can't make the 11th :(

I'm a 'maybe' for this Sat at this stage.

OK.

Suggest we meet at Thornleigh maccas at 10am.

I cant vouch for the road condition on Galston rd, havent been there for ages. The rest of it is as good as any country road with reasonable traffic on it. Ie: good.

Seriously though, If anyone is considering coming please PM me.
Response for this hasnt exactly been overhwhelming.
I dont see my family enough lately, I'd enjoy a cruise if there was some support, however if not enough people chime in, I have other things Id rather do.

Sorry mate, too far for me. i'm gonna have to bail.
