I did PM this to you already butto..... Friday 5th December. This run will be around 200ks (Heathcote and return) with a total “driving time” of around 2 and a half hours. Cruise details are……. I have decided to leave Heathcote at 8.00pm so we will have time to socialise for a half an hour or so at Albion Park and the Pie shop. This should also ensure that we get home at some sort of reasonable hour as well. Meet at Caltex Heathcote at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm leave Turn off the freeway at Waterfall onto Old Princes Highway , down through Helensburgh to Bulli and rejoin the freeway and follow to the BP service station on the highway at Albion Park. Speed camera halfway down Mt. Ousley and another at the bottom near the university. We should arrive at Albion park around 8.45pm. and be on our way by 9.20pm. There is a KFC at the servo for those who want a bite or a coffee. From Albion Park down the highway to Kiama. There are roadworks but the road is all sealed, however, there is a 60klm limit on some sections. Turn off at Gibbs St and follow through Kiama township turning right at Terralong St onto Jamberoo road. Follow Jamberoo road through Jamberoo and onto Terry St at Albion Park turning left onto Illawarra Highway. Follow Illawarra highway to the foot of Macquarie Pass where we stop for a few minutes to allow everyone to catch up and make sure the Pass is free of traffic. By my reckoning, we should be arriving at the pie shop around 10.20pm. Meet at the pie shop at Robertson for a catchup and let the turbos cool down a little. before coming back down and returning to the highway and home. Depending on the hour, I may turn off at Fairy Meadow and come back up the coast road but this will be decided on the night. As always guys, a CB radio is a must on these runs, and since its also dangerous to try and use one while your driving…..bringing a friend to use it is even better…. Naturally, participants can join or leave the cruise at any time….but please let others know, so if you suddenly vanish, we won’t waste time backtracking and looking for you. Here’s hoping the weather is good to us and everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.

I think Ive got it pretty much covered.....but if Ive missed anyone with the run details..... Just PM me and Ill send them on ok.....

Please tell me that your just kidding will ya'...... Official note to all participants......... If your mate has been drinking.....DON'T BRING HIM. If YOU have been drinking......DON'T TURN UP.......Got it?

So whats he gonna drive?? Any electronics shop should be able to sort you out with a radio mate.......

To be honest.....I think its a tragic day in Australian motorsports..... Tom Walkinshaw is the last person we need in V8SC.....in financial and business dealings....he's got a woeful reputation. V8SC deemed him to be....QUOTE; "not a fit and proper person to hold a V8SC franchise" UNQUOTE; During his involvement with the Arrows F1 team a few years back....the FIA took him to court.... In the words of the High Court judge at the time he was described as QUOTE "a shady, elusive and unreliable witness who's business practices left a lot to be desired" UNQUOTE...... Get the picture......give me Skaifey any day......

Shafted by Walkinshaw..... http://www.v8dailydump.com.au/news/allArti...NEWSITEMID=7287

I wouldn't worry too much....I think Aaron knows just about everyone in Albion Park anyways.... Besides, he'll have GhiaGirl, yourself and argey with a couple of his mates to shoot the breeze with till we get there.... Meeting point is the BP servo on the highway at Albion Park (the one with the KFC next to it)

Try these guys for hi performance unleaded race fuels.... I know a few people who have used this stuff and they've all been happy with it. Doesn't kill your wallet either..... http://www.fuel2race.com/home.html

No...if you look in the cruise calendar, Phil was organising a Xmas cruise on the 24th Dec.....although I haven't seen any details posted up yet..... One of the reasons I set this one for the 5th was to give a bit of a buffer between them so people didn't have to go on runs two weeks in a row.....I'm assuming that some of us have "lives" outside of XR6 Turbo The way I see it, a Xmas cruise should be a daytime deal....one where you can bring your girl or missus and kids, sink a couple of drinks at a BBQ or a picnic or something like that and take in some if the sights along the way....something Phil does very well... Hauling along a country backroad, chasing the set of tailights in front of you, in the middle of the night, on your way to a destination that's near pitch black....... isn't really my idea of a "Xmas cruise"... While these night runs are a lot of fun....I get concerned that they may be detracting from our more traditional Sat/ Sun. cruises.....thoughts?

Nup...not overhead cams anyway....

Good to see you Jeff.....can you give Stan a prod to see what he's up to as well cause I don't have his No.? To bung on a barbie during a cruise you have to build at least an hour or so into the cruise to allow for it. Unfortunately, when we originally planned this deal, Ernie was busy with other stuff so I didn't allow enough time for the BBQ so he's gonna leave it at home for this one. For the next one though.....probably early Jan......it'll be back on the menu, so to speak.... Revised list..... mercuryturbo GhiaGirl Angel#3 revheadrobbo + an SS and a WRX Iconic Bionic Ernie Butto ravenhard Ryan dezzaxr6t RAPID BionicXR6T roosters 7MA61 argey...X2 Ras351 Slymeat DBOSS..X2? maybe...onboost 20+ starters......beginning to think I should have picked a bigger meeting place.... Oh, and there'll be no more talk about the ..err..."W" word either...think positive.....it's gonna be a nice cool dry night alright!!!

revised list.... mercuryturbo ANGEL#3 revheadrobbo GhiaGirl Ernie ravenhard Butto BionicXR6T Ryan RAPID roosters dezzaxr6t maybe.... onboost??? Guys, would it be possible to let me know or post where you intend to join the cruise? Heathcote or BP Albion Park? just helps so we're not waiting for people at Heathcote who intend joining us at Albion Park you know...

PM sent.

Well hey' there cousin Rob.....*in Jed Clampett voice* Now theres a mental picture

No sweat.....look forward to meeting you roosters.....

Looks like its already been done....thanks Tab...

Aaaaargh....don't you dare say the dreaded "W" word

I'm going to do a full reccy on this run tomorrow (Weds) night....its a decent old haul so I want to get some idea of hazards, speed limits and cams, distances, times and stuff..... I'll "PM" the exact route out to those who have shown interest later this week ok..... Those in so far....... mercuryturbo ANGEL#3 revheadrobbo GhiaGirl Ernie.......great to see you back on deck mate. ravenhard Butto BionicXR6T onboost??? 8 comfirmed and 1 maybe.....this should be a good night.....

Damn, this is gonna be a busy weekend for me...... Friday night cruise..... Taking my wife to Oran Park to see V8's on Saturday..... Nostalgia and muscle car meeting at WSID on Sunday...... Will sleep like a baby on Sunday night I'm sure.....

Whincup has got to be happy after winning the round...... But I don't think he'll be happy about letting the car get away from him on the parade lap and making a goose of himself after being gee'd up by Matty White..... Somehow, I can't imagine Roland Dane seeing the funny side of it either.......oops.

Here here....I just got mine installed, and you are correct...it does feel a bit different on the change... But you will get used to it......just make sure you bed it in for a few hundred ks. before giving it a hard time ok.....

Well, I guess that's a couple of others to make sure I don't get lonely...... I'd like to get some thoughts on wether to go down the highway to Kiama then cut across to Albion park... Or....just stick to our normal route..eg; W/gong, Albion park and Mac. pass......?

Ok kiddies .....now we've finished poking at one another....how about some ideas on a date for this run?? I'm on call over the weekend of 28/29 Nov so that blows that one.....and my wife's 60th is on 13 Dec.. So I'm thinking about Friday 5th Dec.....how does that suit ? Option 1. Caltex Heathcote, old Princes hwy, W/gong Maccas (although I don't know how we'd go with parking), or the Lighthouse, Albion Pk, Mac. Pass to Robertson pie shop........??? Option 2. Caltex Heathcote, old hwy, coast road, Maccas or Lighthouse, down Princes Hwy to Kiama, back through Jamberoo road to Albion Pk, then up to Mac. Pass.....??? Come on guys......I'm open to suggestions.....

Are you sure it was me Daz?..... can't recollect being in any trouble in the last week or so....
