A photoshoot meet could be good. (But not a tacky one with girls in bikinis....no offence NSW)
Doesn't take up a whole day, and don't necessarily have to drive a long way (have seen a great UK one in a high rise car park at night) Just a thought

Alternatively, if we could find someone with one of these or similar
http://www.driftbox.com/performance_meter.html We could meet somewhere (legal) to compare performance of our cars

We could always just have a regular meet and or Gokarts aswell.. like what we did for christmas....??
Even just a routine thing would be fantastic for the club!! to keep people interested.. as small fords in Vic are sort of left out... and no one really joins in much... so if something on an on going basis can be organised it may help to get people into the groove alittle more... Just thoughts!! Luc

Perhaps something like a cruise down the Mornington Peninsula, or night cruise with photography and dinner at the end. Does the go karts open at night? I quite like the idea of a night time cruise and dinner

If you want a fun drive, try Mt Baw Baw for something new.

I go down to the Bellarine Peninsula once a week - through Geelong, then on to Portarlington, Ocean Grove & Barwon Heads. There are some great roads and plenty of photo spots (the boat ramps at Portarlington & Clifton Springs, the Spray Farm winery at Portarlington, 13th Beach at Barwon Heads, to name a few). I often daydream of a long row of Euro Fords posed for photos at these spots.

I guess most of u guys wudve done this. Every now n then when I feel like a drive I go to the black spur from healesville to marysville ( although I get stuck behind a slow car everytime) and from there towards lake mountain and come back thro warburton.
Its one of the best roads Ive driven i this country. ( apart from kiama-moss vale-kangaroo valley-goulbourn in nsw and a few in tassy of course ). I am a sucker for hill roads. Mind u ive been in aus only for 3 years now. So I guess u guys wud know better. Just a suggestion.
