Details are in the first post. Please reply if you are attending. P.S. EvilDaifu will be along soon to correct my mistakes. Regards TUFXRT6

We have had two cruises to Mornington way, the last cruise that way was cancelled due to poor numbers. I'm going today to check out two spots for the potential BBQ: -Beaumaris yacht Club -Mordialloc Life Saving Club I intend to factor both BBQ spots in my crusie details just incase all the BBQ's are taken at the first spot. The more I think about this cruise the greater I lean towards kicking the cruise off at 10am from Station Pier in Port melbourne to get to the desitination early enough to put a reserve on the BBQ plus get parking spots for all the cars. Even if we dont start the Barbie till 11:45 -12 we can put our stuff down & it gives time for people to take photos of the cars, etc. We will want everyone to get to Station Pier by 9:30ish to give time for photo's. I will post the proper crusie details after I check the two locations out today. Regards TUFXRT6

Personally, I think you need more details on the XR6T before making the decision. But you would say the XR would need heaps on ponies to beat the wrx just because it is bloody hard to beat 4wheel drive on the launch. Regards TUFXRT6

Could possible be the funniest thing you have ever written. Regards TUFXRT6

You forgot to mention the hook turn @ Exhibition from Collins.

Are you saying we should start the cruise up the coast then head to St Kilda for lunch?? or have lunch in St kilda & head down the coast for a cruise?? I would say its going to be really hard to get a barbie @ st kilda on warm days. Though if we have lunch before going on the cruise we would be able to get a barbie more easily as I would get there earlyish to call shot gun for us. Regards TUFXRT6

Ok so it looks like we may have more traction on the beach road cruise on the 9th of Dec. Does any one know of good places to have a barbie out that way to accomidate 10-15 cars??? The sooner people let me know the sooner I can have the final details up. Regards TUFXRT6

Firstly The factory says every 15000k's but most people service their cars every 5-7000. There is a few people on this site (including me) that get their cars serviced at Binks in Footscray. Regards TUFXRT6

To every one in Melb looking to buy a Tv, definetly send AzZaMaTaZ a message with what you are looking for as he has given me a great price. He works in the Brighton Retravision now. Regards TUFXRT6

That is freakish Daz cause a friend got me a qoute from the owner of that same store!!!! So far they have got me the best price. Regards TUFXRT6

Inregards to the property that sold for over $6mill: Im NOT trying to defend the new owner but... they are not only building a tennis court, they intend to put a guest house on the land also. He could have bought a thousand memberships to the Royal South Yarra tennis club for the price he paid. P.S. I do not play tennis & yes I do think he should have given me the money instead. Regards TUFXRT6

Am I right in saying you saw them in Sydney?? I will look for them here in Melb, also.. what was the comapny name that was selling these tv's?? they might have a branch in Melb. Regards TUFXRT6

Ok boys, its time to buy a tv!!!! So far I have priced up a Samsung Plasma & LCD as they seem the best priced with all the options im looking for. The best price I have been able to get for both with below details are: 50" Plasma, Full HD 1080P = $4,000.00 52" LCD, full HD = $4,950.00 Firstly do you think that's a good price?? Second, do you think I should wait until the boxing day sales to pick up a better price?? Im in Melbourne so if any can get me a better price, I would prefer to help out forum members. Regards TUFXRT6

I know... You would have to have rocks in your head not to enter that compatition!! I would love to win that. Regards TUFXRT6

Unfortunetly not the T is not built for serious sideways action. FastR1Red I will keep an eye out for your car, what signage will you have on it??? Keep us updated if you are taking your car (its always good to barrack for someone at these events) Regards TUFXRT6

I'm planning on attending this event, not sure if I will spend the whole day there but it has potential to be a great day out. Let me know if your interested and we might be able to organise a cruise or even a get together. Apperantly: -32 drivers -20 Djs Starts at 9am till 10pm http://www.driftfest.com.au/ Tickets can be purchased from Ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/13003...p;minorcatid=52 Costs are $29.40 +normal bull sh*t charges. Location: Calder Park Raceway Time: Sun 16th Dec Regards TUFXRT6

I think we should ask the farmers when is the best time for rain & organise cruises to accomidate. I also read from a Syndey team that they had a cruise cancelled due to rain on the weekend also!! Regards TUFXRT6

senna_T I read from one of the box's for the turbo blankets that they should be taken off after use, due to the retention of heat. When I can remember which company made the blanket I will look up the site for you. AE86's are the greatest little buggers going round, they are now really starting cost some serious cash to buy.... probably because every one has crashed them drifting. Regards TUFXRT6

The Melbourne Cruise controllers should be known as drought busters. When ever a cruise is organised it pisses down!!!! Hopefully the chrissy cruise has better luck Regards TUFXRT6 :fear (5):

Now I think about it we should have made the cruise today & gone past the ARC events. Ohhh well next year, see you there. Regards TUFXRT6

When I first left school I thought I wanted to be a chemical mixer, so for my first real job I made renders & house paints from base e.g. mix this powder with that powder add water bla bla bla. Anyway, one day on a 100ltr mixer me and another worker were making blue dye for render. The mixing arm grabbed the barrel and Boooooom. For about three weeks the back of my neck and my arms were blue. The funniest part about the whole thing was the two body marks on the wall where you could see splash. Like two bodies on a brick wall after a bomb blast. Regards TUFXRT6

I agree with EvilDaifu, if we are going to have a chrissy cruise it needs to be planned ASAP and would need to be run late November early December as people have other things on their plate after that. Also, trying to book a table at the Portsea Pub mid to late december for 15-20 people is impossible. An idea I had would be to start in St Kilda & cruise down Beach road to Beaumaris / Mentone & have a BBQ at a park on / near the beach (if any one knows of any good parks out this way please let me know). The cruise would start around 10:30ish & first snags on the Barbie @12. Regards TUFXRT6

When I bought the car in Nov 05 it had 69k's on the clock ( that was my sign to own this car ) Currently has 34000k's. Regards TUFXRT6
