[color=#000000ost_uid3]Hi guys;
Would be nice to all meet up for a cruise and take some photos of the Melbourne Astinas!

[quoteost_uid3]since its kinda hard for Dan to organise a cruise at the moment, I reckon its about time for me to do one. I've played a part in planning most of the cruises i spose.
[/quoteost_uid3]
... huh? how come it's hard for Dan to organise a cruise at the moment... is the astina off for more mods? ???

Heard there is a national Honda CRX cruise coming up this weekend? Maybe us Astina guys can join up or tag along with them since the astina hatch and Gen2 Crx look kinda similar in shape?

Anyways, maybe we should all post up which suburb we are from so that a convenient meeting point can be decided, IF we do get a cruise organised soon!

Btw, I'm down in Blackburn[/colorost_uid3]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]yep, astina is off the road having engine work done. will be back soon, and faster...

i'm up for a meet, probably something north-ish of the city as that seems to be a middleground for us when we factor in Adam...[/colorost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0="pr1mo"][color=#000000ost_uid0]somewhere central like daves place[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]nah not at my place thanx

but somewhere near the city sounds good. we havnt done much up north yet so maybe that's a good idea. could cruise down to geelong maybe. perhaps even do a big loop and tkae the ferry across to sorrento and back up ?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]another thought ...

If not my place, there are plently of good beaches around here we can meet at. Brighton beach or st kilda might be nice. Or the ferry pier car park is perfect size and easy to get to.

as for when , thats still being decided.
a sunday within a month or two would be good.

Can we get a hands up of who's likely to come, and any sundays that are not good plz ?

thanx!
Dave[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]i think go-karting sounds good
go-karting in the arvo, then a bbq dinner and night cruise.

main problem might be ppl who dont wanna be out too late on a sun nite coz of work/uni in the morning.

I'd rather be doing something fun together than standing around all arvo !!

[color=#000000ost_uid0]good idea dave... i'd rather be on the go kart track racing each other..... as for meeting points, i suggested williamstown because it was closer to ballarat.

i'd say end of march becaues i'm forking out big for the grand prix...but i dare say if it gets organised before then, i'll be right to come.

Cheers
Bill[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]gokarting sounds like a good idea. i've been round most of the metropolitan melbourne ones recently and the best overall (judging track/karts/money) is probably the one in Epping - Top Karts i think they're called.

i didn't venture down as far as Geelong! but if there is one down there the south/east boys can meet up beforehand and crusie down

and on the topic of melbourne cruises...

An idea has been put forward to have a joint cruise with a couple of clubs, that being AstinaGT, Pulsar Group Australia and the Fast Fours Forum, plus a few other friends of these clubs.

At this stage, it wouldn't be til mid march (after the F1 gp) and would probably be to somewhere like sugarloaf dam for a BBQ, chat, the normal stuff, then returning via the black spur and healesville for some nice twisties!!!

At this stage, if we can get the same amount of cars as last night to turn up, plus the other two clubs and a few others....we could be looking at about 40-50 cars.

Will be a good way to meet people from other clubs, and check out there rides and what they have done.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]i reckon it could. depends how busy it is...but more than likely it would be as busy as usual...asnd then you'd have a problem

as i posted, it's only tentative and i'm not really organising it [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I don't know, maybe an AstinaGT / FordLaser.com combined cruise to Geelong with BBQ. Keep the numbers down a little bit (40-50 is a lot of cars), then maybe sink into another major cruise in late April for the FF / Pulsar guys etc. So many ideas . . .[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I think merging a cruise with Pulsar, fast fours & CRX club is a good idea.
It would be a blast with 40-50 hoons on the road in one pack!
Let's do it.
Does anyone have contacts in each of these clubs.

I was in QLD for last two weeks & came across a huge car park in Southport. ****, I've never seen so many modded cars in one spot (well, SummerNats maybe). There was around 200+ cars from Astinas, Pulsars, Rexy's, Model T fords, Lancer Evo's, and a truckload of turbo'd Skyline's.
None of them had hub-caps... Except for me. I dropped a lap in my "Kia Rio" hire-car & smoked 'em up for the boys. We got a few laughs. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm interested in the cruise to Sugarloaf dam!
It'll be nice for a joint cruise... but if there are too many ppl, wouldn't it be a bit hard to control the cruise?

Was hoping that we can do a joint cruise with the CRX club in Melb, since they organise very good cruises in the past, and if you squint your eyes, there is some similarities from the BA Astina hatch to the Gen2 CRX! ::

So yeah, a Ford Laser, fast fours CRX club and Astina GT joint cruise sounds good![/colorost_uid0]
