FTO AUSTRALIA

Fair 'nuf G_A_V, lets give the motorcyclists the sh*ts BIG TIME!!! Oh I'd better watch myself I going on a ride with these guys tomorrow

hehe, its a fair enough poiunt though, i mean motocycles are a lot more vulnerable ,and a lot of the cars dont check their blind spots.
btw i think my gf will be driving when we go on the cruise , di done get my license back till march
so there will be 3 girls dirving on this cruise, might be more then the boys !!

Yeahhhhhhhh! GURLLLLLLL POWER!!!!!!!!!!

Not wishing to rain on anyones parade - but went on the motorcycle ride today, up the Putty, out through Broke and back via Wisemans Ferry (could be a very good cruise). Anyhoo, got talking to another motorcycle rider waiting for the ferry and he told us that he had come from Richmond via the old Pacific Hwy and got booked for doing 25 over the speed limit on the old Hwy. Now this was in the 70 zone so therefore he was only doing 95!!!!!! 3 points and $225 fine! The P%$&k was hiding in the bushes so this guy had no chance. What the motorcycle clubs do now is send a "legal" bike up ahead and if there are any cops or EPA he comes back and informs the group. I know a lot of our cars will not pass inspection so maybe this could be a way of us getting through using the two way radios.

Bit of a bad day for motorcycle riders, we were at the pub at Broke when every rescue vehicle imagable came flying by.... About 5km up the road some poor rider ran up the back of a car and was thrown into the line of an oncoming 4wd, needless to say he didnt survive... We had to pass the scene - it makes you think twice about speeding let me tell u!

Anyway, just a thought

well i guess we could always take the freeway till about mooney mooney, or so

does anyone want to be the "legal" car?

also where's maccas? click here to find it http://www.whereis.com/wp_search/email_ ... ?id=318481


could we get final numbers please, i'd hate to leave without everyone

I'm definately in, so count me as number one.

Next!

Hi guys,

Bit of a stupid question.

I bought a very cheap 2 way radio and it only can tune into channels 18, 20 and 24. Are these the channels you guys use?

If not could you please let me know so I can return it?
If it's some thing else then I might just not get anything as I don't really go cruises that much and don't want to spend $100 for a 2way radio that I don't even use that much!

Thank you and please let me know.

Glen and I are in...... it was my idea originally so it'd be pretty poor if I didn't show.

Hey Kaz..... if you are heading down Windsor or Showground road to the meeting point, let me know what time and we can hook up if you like, I live just near Showground Rd.

Cheers
Tanya

Now this is going to sound really stupid, but where is thorneleigh? I am interested in coming to this one, so yeah, I am coming from canberra, so any one with directions that can help me get there by 9:30 please let me know

Hi Kaz

What about the carpark of the Castle Hill Tavern? On Victoria Ave (runs between Windsor and Showground?)

Anyone else? I often see a White FTO on Kings Rd - if this is you... are you coming on the cruise?

Cheers
Tanya

ps- Have pm'd my mobile back to you

Ok Tanya see u there around 9:30am - what time are we supposed to be at Thornleigh? If we are supposed to be there at 9:30, I'll see you at the Tav at 9:00..... Does all that deivel make sense?

Hey guys, I know this is really late to reply, but I'm thinking about coming on the cruise this Sunday, but the problem is I don't own a FTO, I own a Lancer , but I want to get to know the FTO better as i'm considering putting in the FTO engine into my car. Again i'm sorry, but I'll confirm tomorrow if I can definately make it, if it's alright with the organisers.

Im sure no one will mind a future FTO(or FTO engine) owner turning up...


Though its friday, and Teania still hasnt done any 'map'
So who knows where we are headed


SilentBob

Stephen & Kaveman are going to be leading and have worked out the way.... they posted a map link to the meeting point and we'll head off from there. (You can follow me if you like.... but..... I have NO sense of direction )

Loridn - you are more than welcome!!! Interesting project, we would be interested in seeing how it pans out. Most of the guys/gals can give you tips on where to get bits, places to go - places to not go...etc..... What year/model Lancer you got? I had a '97 MR before my FTO.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again

Cheers
Tanya

Hi everyone, I have some bad news. Looks like I'm going to have to pull out of the cruise on Sunday. I have not been able to get my aircon fixed and after driving around today to the Aircon place I dont think driving for a few hours would be condusive to a good time without air. I'm now down to trying to source a condensor and discharge hose from somewhere(?) Will be ringing around everywhere tomorrow to see if I can find one. I can get a new condensor from Mitsu Japan for $4-500 but cant get a discharge hose - which is the second half of the unit - bit dumb I know! Anyway I hope you guys have a great time and I'll be on the next cruise.
