OK, Just a reminder, the cruise is for this coming weekend.

Still planning on the Mannum run, and if the weather looks good enough, I thought maybe a picnic style lunch on the river bank in Mannum. Bit of a cheaper alternative to a countermeal also. So a picnic basket, picnic rug, maybe a folding chair or two and a bottle of wine... I'll be set. Might have to whip up a small cheese platter as well. Nothing like dining in style

Ill keep an eye on the weather report.

Hope to see a big turn out.

sorry guys can't make it tomorrow. My cars still at my mechanic and i've just found out the coilovers i just brought weren't actually for my car they are for a nissan or something, gggrrr even though they were advertised to suit an FTO. So hopefully i can get a refund from the guy, not sure bout my chances on that though.

Hope you all have a great day, i'll be thinkin bout you's having fun and cruisen. take care.

Anyway, the plan stands. Picnic lunch in Mannum. So see you all at the usual place and time. Better dress warmish...

Thanx for all those who turned up today. The weather wasnt perfect, but that was never going to stand in the way of us havng a good time. Sorry to lose you Stew, hope it's nothing too serious. Thanx to Travis for going back for you. We didnt mind waiting... after all, we waited most of the morning for Kesia and Steve to get out of bed, what was a few more minutes along the way. Anyway, apart from a little rain thru the hills to wet the roads down, it was an enjoyable day.
Nice to see another new face Tania, Welcome to the club, and we hope to see more of you. Todays drive was a little sedate compared to the last one, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

And here are some pics to remind you of the day FTO Aus visited Mannum.

And some of the locals dropped by to see our cars. I think they were impressed. (until he attacked my camera...)

Crossing the Murray...

And some miscellaneous shots...

And crossing back. Got the ferry to ourselves. Looked awesome.

So NSW arent the only ones who can fill a ferry

Thanx again, see you all soon.

Just notice one of the grey FTO doesn't have the aerial, is that normal?

I want to get rid of mine.

As for the next cruise, I'm off to sunny Townsville for a few weeks, so I'll organise a meet when I get back. If you have any ideas for a get together, feel free to suggest away...

Cya when I get back.

i dont know we bought glamorous car like that!

Bloody coppers I swear they dont have nothing better to do! I wish they would leave my FTO alone! Pulled over again rear fin too long it may do serious damage if a pedestrian got hit by it!!! Where do they get these stupid thoughts from ??? It was defected before for sharp edges on brackets that support the fin !!! Think they are jealous cause they dont have a killa looking car like mine

I wont tell yas all the whole story,all I can say we are still on the road it was a close call ! Sorry had to have a whinge!! Catch up with yas all soon.

phantom · Post by **phantom** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:57 pm

yeah i know they (the cops) are ball breakers, they pulled me up just for a car check, i didnt do any thing.

half the time they cause the accidents, cos they follow u for no reason at all, and your forever looking through your rear view mirror all tenced, far out, they need to realise that hot cars are more likely to be road worthy becourse the owners keep them in show room condition.

its the old crapy cars that blow smoke leak oil and have holes in there mufflers, there the cars they should be stopping, not perfect cars, far out man im so pissed 3 times they pulled me up and my car is as stock as it left the factory it hasnt even been lowerd. its stock why pull me up!

any way i wanted a winge to. they irrrrrritate me they realy do.

GoldFTO · Post by **GoldFTO** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 10:43 pm

OMG dont get me started on cops. in whyalla they are the worst cops ever and because im on my p's and have a hot looking car they always pull me over. non stop. they pick on me all the time but f@#$ them now because my car is perfect and they cant pull me over for nothing. had my winge now.

sorry for going missing people i have no internet anymore and dont have time. trying to sort the last gear out on my car. it never ends and i want to do most of it before bringing it down for a cruise. i have spent so much and still got even more. dont worry people i will come down for a cruise before i sell it one day. i really want to because sounds like you always have fun. just need to pay for accomadation and everything it pretty much a trip.lol
