Cruize - Sept. 16th!

Sunday 16th, I'll organise a cruize!

will be for all astinas, and i guess the laser cousins as well!
Not sure yet on where to go, but will make it worth the while.
Possibly up the Gorge, and on...
anyone in sa, I'll make up some notices or something for others to put on random astinas to share the glory of astinagt.com, and to come along on this cruize.

Let us know what you think!!

I'll be there with bells on.

Just took delivery of my car, so would be great to meet you guys and cruise.

Looking forward to it, give me a shout if you want a hand with any organisation. Maps etc...

Hey guys on the other thread I threw in the idea of combining our cruze with the Gti's. How do you feel about that. Me and Sam tagged along on their cruze on Sunday and they had good pace. Damn zippy things!!! Their handbrakes are SH*T tho. (Long story, kinda funny as well) let us know what you think about the idea. The more the merrier right?

Yeah I agree, more the merrier. I'm happy to cruise alongside Commo's to Ferraris as long as all the drivers and guests are mature people who are considerate of others cars and respect everybodies tastes.

Exactly right. I like the atmosphere of more and more importantly diverse cars. As long as the people are nice friendly, capable drivers and responsible then by all means I would love them there.

excellent.... didnt know i'd have more than 2 in so quickly...awsome.
nuts to commodores tho, they're pretty much on all cruises anyway(being so many of them)
anywho, drop me some ideas of where to go, and how to grab people's attention, and we'll try and make a dvd or something of it, even if the footage is all jumpy, and 2 mins long...
(Good job to your mate Mick, cheers for that, will actually be able to improve myself!)
and yeah, the more the merrier.....

good to see some new people... being all of you, really!

Wasn't really suggesting Commodores. Was just making the point that I don't have beef with any car or any driver unless they prove themself to be a wanka. Which, unfortunately, alot of Commo drivers do.

On to routes... I did a cruise with SASupra club recently through the hills up to St. Kilda, that big rec park down there, was a really good route. Don't know if any of you have done it before but some great windy roads with excellent scenery. Happy to get maps of cruise that we used.

Havent been there. Would be fun. Winding roads are a pre requesent. Anything else is irrelevant. Lobethol is one I do sometimes, Birdwood again sometimes. St Kilda im definately up 4 provided I get the day off.

Sam was there a lot of windscreen glare on that footage? I imagine there would be being a sunny day with heaps of shady areas but I wasn't about to kick my mate onto the window seal to get some descent stuff.

Good job man, What about a date for the cruze. Will you mention that? Anyways, should be fun. We need lots of cars, lots of cameras and we'll wing it from there.

BTW if this is a flyer to get people to join AGT and not for the cruze then I withdraw my comment above.

could write the cruise date on the back but mainly to get people on the site then they can view the cruise posts and decide if they want to go

It took me a while to get familiar with the site, and even now I don't know what the hell is going on sometimes, that is by no means a complaint. Im just saying that there is a lot of content and takes a while to source through all of it somtimes.

Im up for the idea of having very brief cruze details on the back. Like date and time and place of meet. Don't take this the wrong way man, you've got brilliant initiative and this is by no means criticism, just an idea. It may reasult in a better turnout.

Gorge is damn scary. been there twice and trying to keep up with all the other psychos who know it back to front on stock suspension and over flated tires was hmmm, how do i put this, slipery and unpredictable.

Gorge is a good idea tho, I really enjoyed it and would do it again in a heart beat. ill draw some sort of plan today and post it, let me know what you think when you see it.

Hope so. I gotta complain in the mean time tho, waht else can i do. What will really upset me is after all this whining, if that suspension does jack and I still lean and slide. I will be really peeved off.

Here's you driving 700kg's of car mm's off the ground, having a go at me. If im not as talented or as brave as everyone else I will blame the car. Isn't that a natural thing to do. :-)

I second that motion.

I just got new tyres so should be nice and sticky through the corners.

i wasnt saying your not talented lol ive seen you guys do lobethal!!!, dont worry dude your suspension will make a massive difference, even if it isnt really stiff the lower centre of gravity will help a lot.
