thank you to all that turned up today, my apolagies for the minior map problem, havent had a mistake like that in a while :P

we had a good turn out of probly 26 cars, including AU's, was good to see some new faces aswell and some regular faces too

shame to see everyone spending there money on food at the shops when we had perfecly made snags there, sure they took long but things are better with time ;)

Amaze n Things was defornetly a highlight of the day, a number of us went there after the BBQ in cowes, was well worth the stop, my mind is still in a state of retardation because of it :P

hope everyone enjoyed a great day at Phillip Island for Aprils Offical E-Series Day Cruise

It was a great cruise. Well done to Joe for his organising of it. It was a fun drive. It was quite a good turnout, and the weather held out. I got to meet a number of new faces, and saw plenty of familiar ones. The car didn't skip a beat, and thankfully either did the driver

I took a few photos, so I'll post them up when I feel like it

It was great. The facial expressions of everyone going down that big slide thing were great!

btw. Sick EB and Maximus, it was good to meet both of you.

Quite a good cruise, well organised

Unfortunantly I had to leave early so I didn't get a chance to cruise the island more than I would have liked.

Highlight for me would have been finally seeing NWOLB in the flesh... the pics simply do not do it justice... In fact all the cars today looked excellent, Mark and I got rained on this morning so the NF was filthy-er than usual :P

Looking forward to the next one.

Yay my car finally made it to a cruise, with no less than 4 jump starts thoughout the day lol. Was an awesome day, one of the best e-series cruises we've had i reckon (well for me anyway coz i didn't have to catch a lift :P). Amazin things was deinately the highlight of the day, but was great to kick back and relax for the first part of the day aswell. Was funny watching everyone sitting around the tables at the end hard into working out those puzzles, with looks of confusion and frustration over there faces (reminded me of a day care centre :P). Only found 3 flags in the maze, with one flag needing some birds eye navigation. That slide was awesome aswell, freakin scary at first glance down tho. Hall of mirrors was funny as, you would suddenly see yourself coming around the next corner lol. Awesome day!

Thanks for another great cruise the friend who was in my car had a great time and alot of laughs out of it.

Yeah i know my car was the slowest one and everyone practically overtook me without a doubt. It was a great time just driving to the island and EA lasted the journy to and from without any problems at all even ran it on Petrol used up about 40Ltr of it, considering no petrol on the way back home

Thank to Joe and Adz for the map and organisation of it, hope we would do this again

Fantastic day, the cruise down was very enjoyable. no hassles at all.
Had to jump start Steves car a few times but by the end of the day it was starting itself.
relaxing start to the day, slow cooked BBQ but it tasted good, and all the food was eaten.
Thanks to Joe for putting in the effort with the maps, the minor hickup with location was easily sorted and we all got parked together in the end.

Thanks to everyone who came along, some views in my mirror along the freeways were great, just a stream of eseries behind me.

A'maze'n things was deffinately a highlight, kept us amused for hours
