dude thats a bad idea...

i don;t even let my old man know im off to cruises, he just figures it out when i come back with wheels covered in brake dust.

ur old man may be different but if he's like any other parent, he'll just worry about you once he sees what we get up to on cruises and the sort of twisties we tackle at what speeds.

just my 2 cents though.

DavoAust · 03-03-2008, 02:09 AM

parents = bad idea. don't follow me home at least, gav will know why

bourbon · 03-03-2008, 09:50 AM

we do not support stupid behavour on roads...if you do its you alone and no one else in the club...

this cruise is a cruise...not a mountain run! its a leasurly drive...

RedLineResident · 03-03-2008, 10:07 AM

i still say parents = bad idea.

bourbon · 03-03-2008, 02:21 PM

his dad actually cruises around on the forums...so he knows most things you do

Astina Andy · 03-03-2008, 05:11 PM

LOL. My dad is a forum troll hehe. Making his own account coz Dan changed half the forums to Hidden.

If you wanna go high speed twisties, goodluck. your on your own tho, after my spinout the other day i'm extra super duper cautious.

Learn't my lesson, and luckily nobody was hurt.

I cant see why andy's father cant come, i mean my old man use to come with me to gemini cruises, and he's 50! remember its not only us that are into astina's/4cyl's, look at odd12c, he's got one of the best SP20's in oz and he's got a family!

I for one wont be going crazy on the mountains if we were to go...

and andy's dad, come out and say hi, we dont bite... much

Lol i should rephrase it as small cars, but you get the picture...

zappy65 · 03-03-2008, 07:42 PM

Bourbs, would you be able to make up a map for me to follow, ill be living in Ormeau then and probably wont meet you at the Macca's at Springwood, ill koin in when you get closer....ill be in Oxenford on that weekend anyway....or would you just like to set up a location that intercept the cruise route and i get there before you do...?

bourbon · 03-03-2008, 07:46 PM

yeah sure ill figure out a second stop to make sure everythins good before heading off at nerang...

bourbon · 03-03-2008, 07:55 PM

ok buds..got 2 meetin spots...first one...

SPRINGWOOD maccas at 10:00am leaving at 10:30am...now if everyone gets there earlier and ready to leave we can head of earlier...

and get to yatala BP by about 10:45...leave there at 11 am...

thats the refueling spot if not done before we got there...i suggest a full tank as it will be about a 200km round trip...

be there or be square!

Astina Andy · 03-03-2008, 08:02 PM

marcs_sp20 · 05-03-2008, 12:08 PM

Myself and Tash are definites for this cruise now, my contract came thru for work and i'll be getting a little more then expected

. Now i just have to decided if we take the lancer or astina....

bourbon · 05-03-2008, 12:12 PM

do the astina...hopefully i can still too...just having some issues atm..hopefully its only a mount...if it is bastards who did my gearbox didnt use my origional mount :@

dont worry ill still lead you girls

marcs_sp20 · 05-03-2008, 02:16 PM

The astina it is, i'll give it a service on saturday so its right, ever since tash has been driving it to work and back it has been getting pretty poor fuel consumption, i think the spark plugs may be to blame, I havent changed them since the motor got rebuilt... Either that or she has a lead foot

bourbon · 05-03-2008, 02:26 PM

im in the same boat...car hasnt ran the same since the new gearbox...fuel consumption is down by about 200-250km per tank

sucks balls big time...have to go over everythin when i have the money

zappy65 · 05-03-2008, 08:44 PM

Are we going to get an exact mapping of the route at all....the guys over at FL.com have a wicked map that would be awesome if someone took the wrong turn....into some place else....or rather..hahahaha
