Meet & Greet + Cruise

MISTA FIESTA · 18-04-2006, 08:21 PM

Howdy Peeps,

Well it has come to my attention that there seems to be a new batch of fez owners living in sydney and what a better way than a meet and greet + cruise for all newbies to mingle with the EurofordClub( All Fiesta, Focus, Cougar and Clio Welcome).

At the moment im just trying to gather interest on peeps who are willing to come and the date that would be suitable. Tho I would like to specify that it will only be on a Sunday, for reasons know to me heheheheh......

Just fill out the poll above, so we can decide on the date, then I will post some destinations and we can go from there.

Hope it doesnt feel like im rushing things?

Cheers

Damo

Erm... at this point I'm easy on the date! Though from memory there was talk about an EFC event to Oran Park to see Darren Best's ST170 on the track.

No way !

mitch_lx · 18-04-2006, 11:55 PM

Damo, How convenient that you mentioned you want a cruise on a sunday. Thats perfect for me !

Maybe May 14th, Gives us all plenty of time to let work know we will be sick on that day..
I cant wait to see everyone again. Will be soo much fun

amlohac · 19-04-2006, 12:56 AM

i think wodonga would be better :P

the 4 dates are ok for me at the moment

MISTA FIESTA · 19-04-2006, 08:49 AM

WOW, great response already. Looks like 14th May is the popular choice, but ill let the poll run for a few more days, then make it a definite. The main aim is try and get everyone to come, tho i might be dreaming, and just have a nice mingle/chat and drive somewhere nice for lunch and grab some good photo & video opportunities. The last few cruises we have missed a few key players.

I might just throw down a few suggestions for destinations

- Patonga (Old Pac Hwy)
- The Entrance (Old Pac Hwy + F3 + Nice Beachy area full of food and Birds (The hot kind not seagulls)
- Springwood (Blue Mountains?? That road with Twisties)

Hope this isnt too much for the newbie Fez owners.

Your thoughts?

mitch_lx · 19-04-2006, 09:38 AM

The Entrance sounds good

Fast Eddie · 19-04-2006, 01:17 PM

It's been a year or so (doesn't time fly!) since we've been up my way. So I vote for the Springwood Road Cruise. I think everyone who came along REALLY enjoyed driving the hairpins.

Just a suggestion, we can avoid the traffic of the Great Western Highway and turn off at Penrith and go via Castlereagh Road. It might also be interesting to stop in on the International Regatta Centre/Penrith Lakes. The scenery is good for photo's.

14th of May is good for me.

Abraxas is right re: Meeting on the 6/7th of May @ Oran Park to support Best Racing's ST170. See the thread.

Hmm good point - but whats more important?? think about that..

Zetec20 · 19-04-2006, 04:16 PM

best idea ever, people should bring their mums!!!!!!

Teki04 · 19-04-2006, 06:02 PM

Oh yea! I remember now - another drive I was going was brought forward for that reason.

I'm out! Might come say hi, but definetly not heading all the way up!

Danny · 19-04-2006, 07:58 PM

Albury albURY ALLLLBURYYY!!!!!

Comeon, Lets all meet up! I want to finally be able to kick josh in the head!!! :P lol

kenneth_lks · 19-04-2006, 08:27 PM

What about Wollongong and FlaminFiesta can come with your mum..Oh, a lovely son...

MISTA FIESTA · 20-04-2006, 10:07 AM

Ok just to sum up/recap a few things.

If the 14th April is a bit of concern ie mothers day, we can put it back a week or too.

Top destinations so far are The Entrance & Springwood Road, Which both sound good to me. Maybe if we can get feedback from the peeps in Newy/Gong if these two would be suitable.

Also would like to know if anyone else has a video cam, as would be good to have additional footage of the cruise.

Any other concerns or suggestions let me know.

So far it looks like its gonna be our biggest cruise yet. WOO HOO :lookedat:

PS. Teki, If it is another sunday in May, would u still be up for it?? Peeps cant wait to see the Clio in action.

amlohac · 20-04-2006, 06:13 PM

heres a good idea.........ALBURY!

I'll get back to you. Hard to plan so far ahead when I have about 3 x 3000 word essays and a 30 min presentation to think about!

But hey, if worse comes to worse I'll show up and do a little squirt up the twisties and head back!

Cheers

(I'll let you know sometime soon what date would possibly suit me - just have to figure out when things are due!)

MISTA FIESTA · 21-04-2006, 11:32 AM

No probs teki, im sure we can figure something out.

Hey seano, I believe uve got a cruise planned on the 6th or 7th of May with the classic ford boys?? might come have a quick peak if im in the area. Invite is open to them also if interested. I recently watched a video of ur last cruise (no 6 or 7 i think), that cortina with plates COSSIE is INSANE as, love to see it one day doing some sideways action.

Our next cruise (Classic Ford Cruise 8) is on 21st May. This time we will be heading up the Putty Road. I will start a new thread with more details ;)

COSSIE does have some trouble going in a straight line

Timmeh · 22-04-2006, 09:39 AM

Grrr I want my RS2000 back on the road so I have my own Euroford to bring, last time I had to take Focus Two, which I had to drive from Newcastle to Wollongong to collect.

Plus a manual rwd RS versus an auto fwd is no comparison (although I did have fun in Focus Two, especially going back to pick up the forgotton cameraman in Hurricane Katrina).

whippet_zetec · 23-04-2006, 10:37 AM

Hey folks,
Just returned from Broome, and geez an absence from the Forums leaves you with plenty of reading to do.

For me: late May or early June.

MISTA FIESTA · 24-04-2006, 11:10 AM

Ok Peeps.....

I would like to lock in May 28th for the official Cruise Date, as it seems the popluar choice is mothers day. and MUMS COME FIRST. Can i just get a list of who are definite for the 28th.

Also let me know destinations besides the ones already mentioned??

Hope to see a big crowd.
