Yeah for sure. I do have a problem with fines though! Got done by a camera doing 80 on Marion Rd a while ago, well, flash went off and it never came. Took it as someone deciding to give me a 2nd chance!

Anyway, my MSN is humphrey_@hotmail.com, if you wanna add me so it's a tad easier to communicate details blah di blah...

Don't have an MSN, never did and i dont plan to. As for the fine, hate to be the grim reeper but mate i wouldn't hold my breath on the second chance. Ive heard of people getting fines months later, sorry mate. hope you are right and get away.

What it could be is either your licence isn't clear or there was two cars in the photo, rumour has it that those two scenarios may just save you.

Good luck, see you sunday

22mm rear, that will be twitchy as hell. Front wheel oversteer everywhere, I say bring it on.

Im getting a 20mm rear which is about 50% stiffer than stock.

Ill give you more details and info after the trial run. Do you want photos, maps, notes, ect. I think that if i take a photo of each turnoff/intersection relavant to the cruze it may make it a tad easier for those unfamiliar with the roads.

Emergency change of plans for those planning to come to the trail run of the cruze.

I have to be back at work by 2pm for an Auction but i have up untill then free. i figure if we meet there at 9:30am it should give me enough time to do the run which should roughly take 3 and a half hours, go home change into a suit and still be at the Auction to help a colleague out.

Sorry Tom i know you were looking forward to a sleep in.

Either way i should be bringing a wing man along anyways, as long as you let me know by text, PM or this thread then I will know not to wait for you.

Having said that Id love to have you along. I enjoyed having Sam's beast along on the last run but I was a bit outclassed and that was kinda dissappointing.

did a little hills run of my own today just to make sure my swift is up to scratch, went down grand junction rd all the way to the hills it turns into a nice little run but scary the road was bumpy as hell and narrow, then it turns off onto another rd not sure what its called, but it goes to gumeracha and birdwood from gumeracha i went through to lobethal and came back down the usual way old norton summit road the whole way

loving the uni life lol, looking forward to the cruise hope you dont mind having the gti tagging along

I went that way at easter but i had to be sensible coz a friend of mine was towing a caravan behind me, could you imagine me leading and setting the pace for the convoy.

It is bumpy, kinda fun. Do you wanna do that. It goes for a while until joining onto north east road which leads up to birdwood through gumeracha. It is pretty fun, but i found it to be a bit busier than the roads i normally go through, mind you it was the easter long weekend.

Now for the verdict, how is the swift. Dont sell it before I drive it. And is it the MX6 Turbo that you are getting?

the swift is good, well good enough anyhow.

i was looking at all sorts of mazdas, 323's, 626's mx-6's but it seems although there is alot of interest in my car on carsales 215 views in a week not one person has called me!

so it looks like i might be keeping it for a bit longer fixing the clutch and waterpump etc. so dont worry youll get a drive

nah it wasnt my favourite drive i was just a little bored!

Ha, easier said that done. I have kept an eye out for those when looking to get my car, not an easy car to come by.

Pimped out the BG with a cheap little interior pack and been out practising my heel-toeing all ready to tackle those twisty's through the hills.

Bring on the cruising!

Wouldn't worry about heel toeing. Too tricky and you lose the help that the gearbox provides while breaking.

BTW how can you get your feet to twist like that, there's very little space in Astinas, or its just me not being flexible enough.
