Wow.
Good cruise. Good turn out. Had a ball in 1st gear up Corkscrew Rd. And finishing off at the beach gave the cruise a bit of everything. Twisty Hill rds, Long sweeping freeway (complete with tunnel), City driving, Coastal cruising, and Beach. And a Sausage sizzle for lunch, what more could you ask for on a hot day ? Might be a hard cruise to top for a while.
Anyway, here are a few snapshots I took...
Mt Lofty Carpark :
The Beach BBQ :
And the Beach car Lineup (after the Local Law's close inspection...) :
And thanx to the Participants of course :
Lookin forward to seeing your video footage Trav

Yes, it was fun indeed to go for a run again with everyone. Unfortunately had prior arrangements for the afternoon, as it would have been great to catch up at lunch - and get to know those that I had not met before! Oh well, next time.
Will post a couple of photo's when I get around to it - nothing outstanding though.
Perhaps next cruise we head south, do the old faithful Harndorf - Strathalbyn - Victor run (with wine tasting at Currency Creek ) then back up through McLaren Vale to the city with maybe a beach stop for photo's and ice creams!!
Yes....try and keep everyone happy here
Excellent fun though - promise will hang around for longer next time!

Glad to hear you got back home safely. Hope the drive back was more pleasant. And you had some good cricket to listen to along the way
Nice pics there too, and next time you want an FTO cruise, you know who to call...

Hey all...
Great to see another good turnout for this one, even if most of the cars were silver
Most of my happy snaps were similar to what's been posted, so I won't duplicate.
I do have some video though I'll make sure the memory card glitch is sorted by the next cruise.
Click here:
###VIDEO###
Pitty the camera didn't pick up the audio in the tunnel too well.
Sounded much better on the day.
Love the 5 silver FTO's surrounding that gold car. Wish someone got a photo of the look on their face
Thanks again to Steve and Lee for providing drinks, BBQ and shade, made for a great way to round out the day. Much appreciated.
Good to hear you had a safe trip back Gav and was great to meet you. Look forward to seeing you again next time your over this way.

You coulda come too...Supplanter wrote:I'm jealous, Gav
From the sound of it, there's plenty of victorians who would like to make the trip for a cruise
Yea, my "camera operator" did a pretty good job for a first attempt, hats off.
Now to sort out my memory card issues...
I'll have to fall in at the back of the group for longer on the next one to get some better footage of the group.
Sounds like Steve's planning "The Matrix" of cruise videos...
I'll help ya rob a bank mate

I've ordered some hardware. Hopefully will live up to the hype. Just need to wait for delivery from US, and see how well it works, and then Ill tell you all about it
