LOL!!Guys this is still subject to change if anyone would like to add or swap something to the route, till then this is it... FORUM RULES:1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter.5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time.6. Onus is on the owner/driver to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws.7. Please ensure you have a contingency plan if you have a breakdown or unnecessarily delayed. e.g. Roadside Assistance or a mate in another car who is willing to stay with you if necessary.8. This cruise is not to be advertised on any other media or websites or social media sites without prior agreement from the cruise organisers.9. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it's Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible / liable for any damage and / or grief sustained (simply; you are responsible for your own actions).Ok guys so here is the cruise..

I have done all those roads before but not all at once hence it being a full day cruise. It's roughly a 400km cruise so it may need a trim but it's too damn good haha.Involves bells line of rd to lithgow (morning break), thru Oberon to taralga pub for lunch, thru Macquarie pass to Wollongong and we can pull up at a maccas or something for coffee.. Only a suggestion ATM. I would be keen for the 4/8 or 11/8! Edited 13/07/12 08:54 AM by Kroozin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
