Gummeraca, or how eva u spell it, via Gorge rd, then back down gorge or head over to north east rd?
what you reckon about that.... provided the weather is all decent!
meet somewhere like a car park around the newton/or even holden hill area? or city, even. let me know of that sounds good, or we can cut it shorter, and go up the gorge or back, and the other way via north east rd, or even lower ne road-less windy tho!!

u guys let me know if this is good, and i'll try and make some flyers

Hows this?

We meet outside botanic gardens like that time with the GTi's. Go up Magill Rd onto Old North Summit Rd, onto Lobethal Rd all the way to Lobethal.

Stop, regroup, let the brakes cool down. Then Lobethal - Mt Torrens Rd, onto Onkaparinga Valley Rd which leads to Birdwood. there we grab food from the wood oven pizza place and hava a break. (pizzas there are awesom, I always manage to burn myslef tho)

From there we take Mannum Rd back to Gumeracha and then to Cahins of Ponds from where we take Gorge Road back. Once we are back to civilization we pull over again somewhere (to be decided), take photos, sociolize and say godbye for the day.

Don't know where to end the cruze but we can work that out later. Should I go ahead and prepare the notes for this route. Any suggestions welcome

Sounds perfect mate.

Reckon you could make up some directions and maps of the route in case people get lost/seperated etc. etc.

Also, is this a Swift + Astina cruise only? Got 2 mates, one with Lancer, one with Laser, that would like to attend...

Lancers, lasers, Gti's, celicas - whatever. Lets be social and organize a cruze based around the drive, rather than on what you drive. Ill prepare everything, in the mean time spread the word and if anyone has any suggestions i would love to hear them.

I should probably put in something that is for the benefit of all of us and it reads something along the lines of;

Please don't bring anyone who is not a very good driver, drives a bomb, isn's sociable and or thinks that they are a race car driver and as a result puts everyone else in danger. Not interested in racing anyone or explaining to my insurace company how it is that my car came to be damaged. Never fun! (well the first one can be, given the right circumstances)

Remember its a cruze, not a race and we do want to have fun.

Just for the record and for the sake of being a smart arse, which one do you actually second. The "lets invite them all" or the "don't be silly" post.

i second the "not being too silly", be fast and all, but not stupid, and not put others in danger.
i would like it just to be astinas, but with others taging along, like we did, that was cool. especially, wanna try and make it so we can get a few astina group pics aswell. that would be sweeeeeeet! do we know anyone with a good photo camera, grab some pics, and i'll bring a mate to film-be a wee bit grainy, as it aint the best camera around, but pretty good.

also, that long cruze you mentioned mick, how long u reckon that'd take. that would be awsome, i'm down with that one!!!

happy Bday sam. Don't know how long it may take. i might go 4 a trail run this sunday, who's inrested in passengering or tagging along. That will give us an idea of how long it may take.

Sunday 11 outside Botanic gardens. PM me if coming

Pete, Im glad its a mazda, you've chosen wisely. MX6 Turbo is it? If not tell me what it is, I can't wait to see it.

The "It's not a race, it's a cruise."

Might be there on Sunday. Depends if I can get out of work, want to anyway cos' I've got a cold and a party on Saturday night. Bad cold + lack of sleep + hangover does not = productive work.

I don't really mind who we invite, just saying I can get us 2 more cars if we choose to invite all FWD, hatchbacks.

i never said lesuirely cruze, i just said no stupidity. You know taking blind corners, taking opposite side of the road, abusing the public etc. Speeding is fine by me, provided you can hold your own behind the wheel without exceeding your limits and endangaring others.

if you drive fast but within your limits and relatively sensibly then go nuts.

11 it is, Ill let you know if something changes.
