sure, never been through putty. for some reason or another i couldnt make it to the last one on putty :(
and Yeah, wisemans ferry is only about 45mins from where i live(west pennant hills -depending on what the traffic is like) and its a rubbish road, recently a bseries member took his Ba up there and the front drivers side(i think) of his RJR 17" rims he had on litterally shattered and sent him into the guard rail and it was a write off

yes and often means more traffic which makes it harder to keep everyone together.

For me, Long weekends are the few weeks where I don't have rugby on the Saturday and I often have other things planned for me by the GF etc. I prefer non long weekends as they don't screw up other plans, less traffic and less chance of being caught by coppers.

Any weekend is fine with me, makes no difference.
I'm happy to try and work in to whatever is decided. The original point I was trying to make got lost. _2: But that's beside the point, doesn't matter now. Didn't mean to rock the boat. Thanks Grum :voldar02: Last edited by ausbird; 02-05-2008 at 12:28 PM. |

You aren't a fully fledged Bseries member until you have flipped the boat!

On cruises especially with new members we often make a point to keep it civil and keep everyone together as that is the point of the cruise.
Those who enjoy spirited runs partake that on their own accord and they wont be organised on the forum as they wont represent AFF. That is of course IF these events occur. I would prefer it not being on Double Ds simple because that means more police working on a long weekend, which means more angry police, which means less leniency which means defects.

It good that the newer members are being taken into consideration!
Has there been a decision on wether it's going to be a local meet, greet and eat, or a longer cruise? I'm lookin forward to it either way, havn't found any good drives apart from syd to the gong and back. But i'd just be happy to put names to faces!

For some people its a big ego trip of my car is faster than yours.
For others its a good drive, meeting up with existing mates and meeting new members. Depending on the cruise there is usually a stop for lunch etc.
