Im from N/E so ill be meeting you guys at the park. Were cruising from Preston area.

we could just do laps of albter park lake, hahaha, sound good?
i say bunnings too, it is the best biggest place..
my other idea was the old IKEA on nepean highway just before south road if your heading into the city, the car park is HUGE and ikea have shut down bussiness there now..

Its not as if we are probably going to have to have more than 5 car park spaces, hahaha

yeah i supppose bunning car park is pretty big, if we all stick to the outer side of the carpark away from bunnings itself (park closest to princess hwy) then we shouldnt get in no-ones way ( or no-one in our way should i say ! ..lol ) , yeah make it bunnings then i recon too ;) .

OZFORDAU · 08-02-2006, 05:29 PM

Ok then Bunnings on the corner of S/Vale and Cheltenham Rd it is! Myabe someone else can do a better job at me at getting a better map lmao!

Cheers

XR6-VCT-2000 · 08-02-2006, 05:52 PM

sorry , i was thinking of a different bunnings be4 , that 1 sounds even better , only 2 minutes from me

Bucknaked · 08-02-2006, 05:55 PM

We are staying NE, so depending on how the day goes, and how buggered everyone from the N/E are, maybe go back to our accomodation, put up our chairs in the car park, have a few beers, and get some KFC or subway for dinner from accross the road. The car park is obscured from view from the road, so its fairly private

OZFORDAU · 08-02-2006, 05:58 PM

Sounds like a great idea!!!!

I'll be in on that. Great idea.

Just picked up 20+ KFC store contract looking after the security side of things, let me know which store your Motel is near and I'll ask for a mad discount

No harm in asking I guess :evilsasmo

Excellent. Sounds like a great idea. The address for our hotel is in the PM I sent you the othe day.

Sounds like a good idea I think to all kick back and relax after a hard day of BBQing in the park.

OZFORDAU · 08-02-2006, 06:47 PM

Umm when you say N/E what area is it?

divine_afg · 08-02-2006, 08:20 PM

yeah bunnings on cnr of cheltenham and springvale sounds good
the reason why i suggested dandy cause most ppl seem to know it... anyways
would been nice if you joined the cruise BLUPRNT XR looking forward to seen you at the BBQ........... well a bit to early to post this thread but i guess just to give an idea to everyone knows that their would be a cruise from SE/suburbs
anyways well a good cruisin line would be beach rd, elwood but cops again, stkilda pier, lygon st, brunswick st, fitzroy st, great ocean rd if care too, phillip island, would been nice if the BBQ was on saturday could gone for long cruises, dandenong mountains heard its nice, yarra valley, thats all i can think of now................. just spice chapel st................ lol

That could be a bad thing as we may not make it to the BBQ

OZFORDAU · 11-02-2006, 07:11 PM

What time should we make it?

divine_afg · 11-02-2006, 08:03 PM

well the BBQ is at 12pm
so we should be at the confirmed meeting place at 10am
it will take about 40-50 minutes with traffic and redlights in mind from bunnings on cheltenham - doesnt matter if you take princess hwy or beach rd not that difference.
now i am assume we all agree to cruise not start racing each other - personaly not big fan and i would cruise at posted speedlimit or less !!!
have had bad experiences in the past and lets make sure that are cars get their in one piece not pieces
cheers

I imagine your car would attract some unwanted attention.

divine_afg · 11-02-2006, 08:18 PM

yeah it always does ........... thats why i dont want to much of it by breaking anylaws or making my self look like some HOON so to speak....... i have worked hard to get my car where it stands today and its merely for cruise and to make a statement on au's not race...........
cheers

And thank god all they did was cancle it for a year , i didnt have to go for my licence again. I dont think i've even had a speeding ticket since then ..lol

Yeah it would sure do suck losing your licence! LOL nearly 3 times over the limt!!! Naughty boy! Im sure it was fun thou! It sure is lucky you didn't have to go for your licence again it would've sucked going for it twice!

XR6-VCT-2000 · 13-02-2006, 03:09 PM

lmao , thats only what they clocked me doing ! - I was on my way back from a tea break during nightshift. They were parked in a servo just across the intersection i booted it from, by the time they got me i was allready up the end of the street - out of my car - and heading for the doors to go back into work when they came flying up the driveway with lights and siren on

) ! - I didnt even know they were chasing me until then

) . I also had to de-register my car not long after that too, because i had no pollution gear on the car , just a dirty big 650cfm holly knuckled up with ballbearings ..lol.. ( i played dumb with the police and said a mate did it and said it was right to go , i knew no better ..lol).. I got a letter from the EPA a few days after getting pulled over asking for me to take the car in within 3 days of getting the letter ! , it warned i was up for about a $10,000 fine if the car 'was as stated' by the police ......SOOOOOOOO - I just de-registered it as i couldnt affords pollution gear in 3 days ! - which screwed the EPA

) reg cancled = no checkup !!... I went straight gas after that anyways after getting my licence back.

sfr rob · 17-02-2006, 05:50 PM

and thats why you have an AU now....

i am really looking forward to this event, i think its going to go off for sure!
i am going to bring my BA too, somy little brother will be driving the AU and i will be in the BA... i hope.

XR6-VCT-2000 · 18-02-2006, 12:04 PM

yeah im bad enuff in a 6 , little lone in a v8 again ! - i would prolly just loose my licence again , at least the 6 keeps me tamed town a bit - when i hear the sound of a v8 under me i can't help myslef - i gotta give it a gutfull

) ..lol ....

I actually re-registed the car a year later when i got my licence back , but by that time i had gone full gas setup (did the car up twice as hard during the year it was off the road), gee i allways loved how straight gas needed no pollution gear too ! ..

Good to see different cruises converging on Albert Park ... I am going to be taking it nice and easy on the day as it is ... seeing as I will have the other half with me .... music will be kept down too.

Just drive so cops don't take too much notice on the day.
