I think its about time we went on a cruise.

Still in the preliminary planning stages at the moment...

Last Saturday/Sunday of September.

Meet at David Jones carpark Chadstone around 9:30.

Leave at 10 and stop at BP, Corner of Mt Dandenong Rd and Canterbury Rd Kilsyth to stock up/get petrol/wait for dawdlers.

Head on up to Mount Dandenong Observatory for a coffee and sightsee.

Then head down to Cardinia reservoir for BBQ lunch.

Plenty of twisties to keep us all amused.

If anyone has any ideas or improvements, or preferred days let me know.

Last Saturday / Sunday of September? Will be away sorry. I can do the week before or 2 weeks after however

Aren't we also juggling up a DIY day and another cruise? haha

[Supplanter]

If you want a DIY before the next cruise organise one

[Supplanter]

Maybe the DIY day can wait until we get our HIDs.

[-Nighthawk-]

Yeah probably a good idea to wait for the HID's, IF we ever get them that is :\

[Shhtuart]

I'll come if you guys would allow.

Being all non-active and stuff

[nikhan]

Well I'll be out for a month or so...my car is getting a new respray either next week of the one after next. BBQ sounds good though..zzZZzz

[Supplanter]

I think we'll be having a DIY day first, just waiting for those HIDs to arrive

[-Nighthawk-]

HID's arrived, time for a DIY day soon

[Supplanter]

I should have mine this week too then.

[Nacho]

F*CK! I missed it

Wait.....did this actually happen?

[Supplanter]

Of course not, Victorians are lazy. DIY day is coming first.

[-Nighthawk-]

Let me know when you receive yours and we'll organize one, I'm thinking late October perhaps?

[renzkuken1]

I'm in for a late october cruise
I get back frmo sydney to resume course in victoria the 21st.
It will be cool to get around with other FTO enthusiasts.

[-Nighthawk-]

I have some pictures of the garage we can use for the DIY day:
I just need to clear the sides so there is more room, but the size of the FTO it's plenty to fit 4 cars (with enough room) inside and 4 cars outside. And more on the street because it's fairly closed off.
There is also a few tools that we can use, although I would recommend bringing your own in case they aren't available.

[Bennoz]

Awesome!

[Shhtuart]

It does look good.

Any ideas on a date yet?

[Supplanter]

I have a wedding to go to on the October 30 weekend, any other time is good.

[Nacho]

That's not a bad garage dude.......with the most unsafe looking car ramps I have ever seen. Are they sturdy? They're making me nervous just looking at em.

[-Nighthawk-]

haha it's only a storage shed for my dads business in building, although a lot of tools can be used on the car.

The ramp was a 2 second DIY just to get my car lifted so I could get access to the oil filter

November 5th / 6th sounds like a good weekend if anyone else is up for it
