True, but only because we don't just make it happen.

I don't mean setting specific dates necessarily - but at least get some general ideas for where we can go, and say what month to do it in.

But lets just see how it goes....

LOL well guys get more organised then bcoz im a country boy and cant help anyway!!!

so it's all upto you smart city guy's to make the plains and us country people to come and visit ya all and have fun!!!

When i do come down where would be the best place to stay..where my car would be safe..dont trust adelaide???

Umm nah they defected me for my driving steering arm BOOT...you know how your driving steering arm under you'r car has a plastic boot over it well mine was cracked and they defected me for that and a loose bolt:(

but i have fixed it all now so it's all good...took me a while to get the part like the boot bcoz they couldn't get an FTO one!!!

also my mags arrived from adelaide (jack bakers tyres) took them 2 months from when i paid for it they arrived and i was putting them on got to the last mag to put on and they gave me a 4 stud..

i was so revved bcoz now i have to wait 1 week for 1 wheel...there a tyre place and they cant tell that it wasn't the right rim:(

so i have 3 brnad new rims and 1 stock:(

god damn... i know this is off topic but you have to be kidding me... did you get a cop on a bad day or something because that is total BS. i see cars with exhausts dragging on the ground... dirty number plate.... NO number plates.... crack windscreens... smoke blowing all over the place and they have the nerve to defect you for that. you should have every right to be pissed at that....im not going to say anymore on the topic

.

Count me in on the cruise still though... got my wheel alignment done and thank god the wheel shudder is all gone now so im a happy boy.... and pedders said that my suspension is pretty good nothing that NEEDS replacing as most of the noises i can hear are non suspension related and they even identified all the noises so i can get them repaired. have posted a question on the technical forum about my rear suspension though.

Man i seriously dont know hey...i think because im a P plater in a quick looking sports car they think the more he off the road the better...but there is noway ill be dragging my baby because she means the world to me!!!

but yeah i have fixed everything just waiting for the police to come down next so they can clear me..

Yeah i just cant wait until you guys go on this cruise so i know when i have to be ready for the next cruise so i can come down!!!

best of luck!

There are still guys around, but seems like a few aren't available, being o/s or interstate, or the car is off the road for some reason.

Still, always good for a drive - and a lunch in Victor - so if you can make it, we're goin' anyway...

Day off today!!! Might get around to cleaning the car then...

That'd be right. I moved to Adelaide from Sydney over the Christmas break, and when I finally get the internet back on, I find out Ive just missed a cruise. DAMMIT. Oh well, hopefully you will hold another one soon. Are there plans yet ?

testlabmonkey · Post by **testlabmonkey** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 10:21 am

stay posted im sure mrx will have a new date soon.

Sparhawk · Post by **Sparhawk** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:59 pm

No problem. Just looking forward to catching up to some fellow owners. Have been in Adelaide for 3 weeks now, and seen 2 or 3 on the streets. I was looking for a thread to post some pics of my baby up. I still have NSW plates on her, but that'll change soon. Too expensive in NSW anyway.

Welcome Sparhawk!

Cooler user name, and I love your signature! LOL!!!

Yeah - will have something organised shortly. Just going to wait for Luca to get back from his trip to QLD and will advise.

Cause, I'm always up for an impromtu drive between now and then.

Oh, and that would be the 3rd FTO to defect to SA from NSW. Looks like a trend...

Hope to catch up soon. As for the pics, why don't we add them to this:
