Yeh thanks guys for organising the cruise

Not a bad turn out finally put faces to the names... We eventually made it to Imperial after Ardens GPS knowledge failed but we were back on track in the grid of Long w/end traffic up to the mountains.

Good to see there were quite a few sp20's on the day

yeah thanks arden for losing everyone, except 2... misleading an entire cruise down the wrong road, and ringing when things went wrong....

just got home now, bells line was closed when we came back through... not happy jan

good to see you all out for lunch, have a few giggles, hope you enjoyed it, jenolan crusiers i'm sure you would have had a ball, it was a beautiful day (thanks to the weather) and thanks to rob, for completing the last leg to bathurst, and coming out for laps of mount zoom zoom!!!


and those pics.. wow!!

sorry i've got not many pics form the cruise.... this is in part to arden

yeah Mt Zoom Zoom was good, it was a shame more didn't come.

thanks to arden for leading the way I didn't get too lost just caught in lots of traffic

got home today and I did a total of 730kms from saturday morning and still on the same tank of fuel.

Pics will be coming soon

I didn't get any car group shots though

I think the trip up displays the need for everyone to have writen directions or atleast anfair idea of how there are getting to where we are going not just destination. I was crusing up saw everyone turn left, cool follow them then lost em at lights, no sign of them and see a right turn to Blue MOuntains (Motorway) sounds about good. (Me and Rob exchange severals shruggs and take it)

Are you saying you went that far on one tank, good god.

Jenolan was awesome I'd recomend that road to anyone, a great drive prob fav ever, beatiful scenery nice mix of speeds, 100 zones with 45 corners = Fun fun, Zoom Zoom,


Went for a tour thru jenolan caves was $16 for hour and a half, worth it,


Didn't arrive back till about 8 (But yes still have the same Girlfriend)

was a Good day,

thanks for organising.

Sorry for heading off earlyish,

It doesnt sound like it was a bad little cruise, how many people did end up turning up cause from the list it sounds like it was to be a huge day.

yeah got all the pics off my camera now

got a little bit of post processing to do and they will be up.

and gav I filled my astina back up and got a total of 740kms from 47litres working out to be 6.35L/100km and yes it did hit 6000rpm a few times, so I'm stoked with how it went.

its obviously how he drives his car, maybe he doesnt thrash the car as hard as some, plus his car is newer so it would be alot more efficient.
