Mt Baw Baw Cruise 2010

[GR8XR6]

Getting excited now. Just managed to drill some plastic. Therefore I may have 2 video cameras running. Battery only lasts 2.5 though. So some of the way only one camera working.

The view from the front grill looks awesome. I am curious as to how it will view looking backwards.

Anyone any good at video editing?

BA55Y, both times when I have been up I kept up with the lot of them and even led the way on one of them.

Not only did I not have any problems, except nearly falling off the cliff at the hairpin, most of the time up everyone is only going at what they feel comfortable with not 100%.

The road is quiet narrow and you have to be careful of the motor bikes coming the other way and the cyclist on the way up.

I would suggest someone with a CB goes first and someone with a CB second and LAST.

Hope you have a fun day.

Cheers

James

Sounds good. OK, count me in for two cars (XR6T and XR5T).

Theres is the occasional squirt on our cruises as fun as that is, it's more fun cruisin as a group.

Popped my cherry on this one, 1st red one. Damn I gotta get back in a T soon.

Oh and that was an awesome shot too Gaz.

Oh and that was an awesome shot ...

but don't remember which one that was Dillz.

Well, weather looks reasonable for Sunday - mostly sunny and 26 deg C.

Looking forward to seeing those different camera angles GR8XR6

Remember boys and girls - if you want to do a bit of catching up and car gazing at the meet point - best to get their with plenty of time as it helps us if we can set off as close to 9am as possible

Yarra Ranges 07.

I remember cause I'd just got the T and I ran an Evo 9 on the way to the first meet and was shocked at how well the T did compared too a car twice it's price.

All good guys I wasnt worried bout being stock for keeping up or fast reasons.

Looking forward to the drive, come back from mill park through king lake month or so back and really enjoyed it so should be good drive tomorrow

Well I see "Blue Skies and Sun, so the Cruise is Definitely ON" boys and girls

Remember it will be a lot cooler up the top so bring warm clothes

See you at the meet point

Thanks everyone - I had a great day

Really great group of guys and we were so well behaved - at one stage we had at least 14 cars !!! I hope you guys made it home okay.

I must say we were pretty lucky going up and down Mt Baw Baw - I don't think we had anyone slowing us up ahead of us That road - it's gotta be one of my favs and it goes for about an hour of glorious twisties up and ummm not long enough on the way down I think

Hope someone got a pic or vid of my smoking brakes - farrrk never knew my brakes did that. But truly didn't feel my stopping power impeded in anyway - though my right foot was getting a working out from the throbbing ABS

It was really great to hear the roar of our cars reverberate as we headed up the mountain - awesome sound

Thanks to bunna for his ummm advice on our cars - much appreciated

Mental note - make warning about wasps - PAZZ hope your daughter is okay from that sting - who'd have thought

Am looking forward to any pics and vids you guys post up - should have seen the vid mounting setup GR8XR6 had

I should have some pics up soon as well

Awesome day. One of the best cruises I have been on. Love the twisties.

You guys missed out not going pakenham way. Myself and evildaifu had a very spirited run until we came across some horse floats.

Thanks again to all for making such a great day and thanks to gary for organising cruise.

I will endeavour to post some pics in the coming days. As to video footage let me know and I'll see what I can organise. There is 32GB to sort through at this stage.
