St Helena shopping centre is in aqueduct lane

Looks a great cruise route, very close to me but i have to go over other side of town this arvo

Watch the road on Broadgully Rd, very skinny piece of road with blind corners, plenty of bingles there... and watch for brockie's old joint near nutfield, a great section of road there

Thanks guys it was a bit of fun, I enjoyed the the drive.:
You guys need to get radio's, so the cars up the front can keep in touch with everyone, especially good when being left at traffic lights, other traffic etc:
Also good for a bit of banter.
A few pictures from our 5 min stop.

yes that was a good cruise nice tight corners especially the last part where i nearly came off the road on a tight bend luckily abs brakes kicked in. i agree with spoolman everyone needs to organize uhf radios so people dont get lost & for traffic reports came in handy when i was coming around a corner & was using both sides of roads then someone said over radio that a car was coming the other way that i didnt see till i got around the corner :

Hey Guys, that was really awesome! it was great to meet you all and see such a fine selection of cars. There was 14 by my count but we lost one on the way.

Did anybody see the guy in his driveway with the Toxic XR6 who had just been washing his car? His jaw had dropped to the ground watching us parade past his place.LOL How about the poor guy at the one way bridge who had to wait for us all to go past? LOL

Big thanks to Tristan for organising it all, it was an excellent course. Some real good white knuckle spirited driving through those windy bits, it was excellent.

The back half of the cruise lost you guys at the lights, but that's okay, we pulled into Macca's and had a feed and a chat. We found our way back to the St Helena SC, but you guys must have already left.

Mark, I still have your CB, are you going to Calder on Friday?

Here's a couple of pics I took.

That was the plan, but some of us didn't make it to the car wash. I wouldn't have washed mine though as I still had quite a few Km's to travel tonight.
