Special mentions:- Tabitha (makes a great secretary ) and did an awesome job as "Acting" Tail End Charlie.Howsee007 – for bringing along Alitia with her talent - Fabulous UHF feedback and commentary Turbo.Vixen - Kart Winner!! for the spectacular T-bone crash and body roll at turn 7 – you really didn't have to go to so much trouble (hopefully not too much bruising). Although the safety car was not required for the 3 kart pile up, thanks to Wade who was first on the scene "encouraging" T.V. with laughter Cooltint – for imparting his life long knowledge of Karting Captain "A" (aka Mark) for unintentionally reminding us these cars are meant not only to look good BUT be "DRIVEN" and hard. ps - there was a secret mission to this cruise. a. testing the "follow the leader" theory - passedb. Ability to perform synchronised U-Turns - passed with honoursoh yeah!!! I beat Sutty on the Karts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 31/08/08 01:09 PM Share Posted 31/08/08 01:09 PM (edited) Just as a side note for anyone who thinks that these cars are too thirsty, I covered 440km today with an average consumption of 11.1lt/100km. I arrived home with a little over a quarter of a tank of fuel left. Admittedly 200 of those km were spent on the highway but the remaining were a mix of spirited driving and a lot of 2nd and 3rd gear twisty bits. All in all a pretty fine effort for a car of this size and power. I'm impressed.Cheers Big AL Edited 31/08/08 01:12 PM by cooltint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first cruise, and everyone was friendly and I now know theres nothing better than driving through some twisties to the sounds of turbo's spooling up!!Thanks Phantomchic for organising the day, couldn't have done it without ya. And thanks for the UHF radio too! As for fuel consumption... I almost went through a whole tank of 98 RON from Gym.. (sorry... sunshine coast) and back.
