My guess would be...

Matt arriving on time? :hihi:

Just joking mate.

Looks like this will be the biggest Victorian euro ford cruise yet. Good stuff.

zetec · 05-05-2005, 09:17 AM

Errrr......what happened to the original plan of meeting at MacDonalds on Canterbruy Rd. then going Cantebury Rd. to Warburton, Reefton Spur to Lake Mountain, Lake Mountain to Marysville, Marysville to Healesville via Black Spur?

Sorry to be a stick in the mud guys, but if you are only going Black Spur then Simon and I won't be coming. Instead we will stick to the original route.

Black spur is great but generally full of traffic, slow vehicles and sight seeing types. Original route is almost deserted and the roads are better (see lots of corners) wider and hence more fun.

If you are concrete on this plan, thats cool we might catch up with you at Marysville for lunch.

Ummm didn't know that was the plan oops

Sounds good, we'll do that then!! Can we please change the second meeting point to Maccas on Canterbury Road gang? We'll ask that people arrive there as planned at around 9:45am for a roughly 10am departure. Sorry it's not in PM, couldn't be bothered.

So that's McDonalds on Canterbury Road in Bayswater. Carpark. Breakfast all round... ;)

OZST24 · 05-05-2005, 12:37 PM

Sounds good to me! See you all at Maccas on Canterbury Road!!

05-05-2005, 01:14 PM

Cool.

I am sure you will all be very happy with this route - definitely my favourite in Victoria.

Cheers, GT

If not i accept full responsibility and all the abuse you can throw at me.

zetec · 05-05-2005, 01:21 PM

Will do, although I have spent 2 weekends randomly pottering (cough hammering) through the Nongs an they rate as some of the most amazing roads in the world.

07-05-2005, 04:03 PM

Hey Guys.

Im not actually a member of euro ford club.. but i do have an RS2000 and i am most likely interested in coming.

Would you blokes mind an RS coming along for the drive?

king_pin · 07-05-2005, 05:20 PM

The more the merrier

See you tomorrow

07-05-2005, 05:53 PM

Well its my Girlfriends 18th tonight, but if i can walk in the morning ill be there...

zetec · 07-05-2005, 10:35 PM

We'd love to have you there!!

zetec · 08-05-2005, 05:03 PM

PHEW, WHAT A DAY!!!!! 11 Cars in total!!!!!!! What a fantastic day, gorgeous weather, nice selection of cars!!

We had the following Vehicles arrive.

Fiesta LX 3 door
Fiesta Zetec 3 door
3 x Focus Zetec 3 door
Focus ST170
New Focus Zetec 5 door
Mondeo GLX
2 x Mondeo ST24
Mazda SP23 sedan

So we had 10 club cars there and Paul in his beautiful SP23!!! Thanks to everyone for such a fine turn up, for making all your cars look so damn good and for being such a friendly bunch!

Can I also make a special mention to Kim for making the trip down from Sydney for a weekend with friends here, he still spent the day with us!!!!! What a top effort Kim, it was great seeing your sticker there on the back window doing us proud and we're glad to hear you love your new Fiesta, especially now that it has some k's on it!! Ready for that first complimentary service already!! Have a safe trip home mate, look forward to catching up again sometime soon.

My surprise was being able to bring along the New Focus - a 5 door Zetec. It provided a little interest at Maccas in the morning and was an intersting comparison next to the Mazda 3, it's chassis and technology linked cousin! I have spent over 1,000km in the new model Zetec now and am VERY impressed to say the least at just how the car has evolved. Very powerful, very refined, SMOOTH like you wouldn't believe possible and a very well styled solid looking car! Congrats to Ford! (Matt wonders when he'll buy one and where he'll get lower springs and a zorst from he he he

)

I will post photos up sometime soon, I am just having a lie down after 250k's of fantastic driving!! Great to see you all there and I definitely look forward to the next meet!!

And RIZ!!!!!! Good to see yourself and your mate Corey, love those 2 Zetecs you both brought along and I hope you both enjoyed the day!! Keep us posted on that Turbo installation!! I'll never wash my hands again after touching our car, now that I have FINALLY been one of only a few select people in the world to ACTUALLY meet you!!

Off to sleep! Catch you all later!

Danny · 08-05-2005, 05:38 PM

Loll!!

Kim is a guy!! Theres something I didnt know! With the name I just assumed....

I couldnt come as i had Mothers day resposibilities with the family... Would love to have come though. ah well, next time!

RAMD67 · 08-05-2005, 06:04 PM

What a great day, beautiful weather and cars!

Thanks for letting me join in on the cruise it was great fun and a great drive. Good to test out the SP23 and I must say that it did very well!! I must say thank god for having a manual, it was great fun through the twisties!!:eclipsee_

Everyone was very friendly and easy to get along with, which was great

Some very nice cars with Stephen and Rizza's Foci both lookig great with the morrette headlights. I loved both the ST24 Mondeos and might be looking at one for a second car to fang around now, as im not sure if I want to spend money on my company car. And the ST170 focus was very nice and sounded great! The new focus was great to get a look at and compare with my mazda 3.

Once again thanks for letting me tag along and hope to be able to attend another one soon!

Same here, I was hoping I'd be able to come along, but couldn't make it, sounds like I missed out. If it hadn't been mothers day...

Oh well, maybe one day soon I'll be able to bring along my own little 4 wheeled suprise... :voldar02:

Danny · 09-05-2005, 12:26 PM

So when is the next one???
lol

zetec · 09-05-2005, 11:11 PM

PRESENTING ...

The European Ford Owners Club of Australia - Victorian Members!! :1syellow1

11 cars in total for the cruise, 10 Eurofords and what a brilliant day!!

I'll have the rest of the pics up hopefully tomorrow!!

zetec · 09-05-2005, 11:13 PM

Taking suggestions for the next cruise!!!!! Suggest perhaps a dinner with less of a drive and more of a social event since we had so much time talking last time!!

Danny · 09-05-2005, 11:23 PM

How about a drive to Kinglake? Meet at the Pines at Doncaster (end of springvale Rd), and find something to do there??

OZST24 · 10-05-2005, 10:54 PM

Had an absolute AWESOME day!! Huge turn out, great cars, great company, great roads. What more can a bloke ask for

Cant wait until the next EuroFord event!

Anyway on with the pics!

Here is a selection of the cars that turned out for the event:

Hehehe, was that pastry worth it mate?

Did someone say videos? Cool! It would be cool if we had enough video to make a DVD, even if it was something like "EuroFord '05 - The cruises" with all the video footage on it, was well as all the photos, and of course the DVD could also have all the original, high resolution photos on it too for people with DVD ROM drives...

What does everyone think of that idea?
