Default The Next Cruise ..

Well gang after the last thrown together run was such good fun I thought we mite get some Ideas for the next one .. having failed in post apicky I"M not even going down the lets have a poll road .. :
so I shall stick to the basics & let the youngens do the polling
So we need prefrence sat. or sunday for tea or lunch do we want to go some ware thats a icon ext. :lookedat:

Personally I like the idea of driving to a point. be it a beach,caves,park ext.
rather than driving in circles for no real point (thats what friday nights are for)BBQs are good (if there gas lol} as is a lunch some ware at a reasonable price
Even have heard of a member who brought a pub not to far away they mite like a visit :
and we allready no Caspers house is a good coffee stop so get to it with some Ideas ..
Cheers ..Whoosha :voldar02:

well, if its this weekend, i was going to work on the intake setup on my car on saturday, and knowing how little skill i have when it comes to mechanical customisation, could take me all day!!

but i am up for another cruise for sure, bbq even sounds good. i just dont have that much experience on where to go.

I Liked the cruise we did on Saturday. Still had the morning to myself and not an overly late night. Will speak to mudguts & see if we can think of any places to go.

Hey...start something yourself. Work with people in your area first and the group will keep getting bigger from there. Start a thread on here to see what interest you get from other in your area. Depending on where you are located in Sydney, north south or west, do one for your area first and it will grow from there.

Are you saying that the Heathcote Drags are on the 23rd Sept?

This is going to sound silly, but where exactly is Heathcote? e
