Great Ocean Road Cruise 2011

[Rockatansky]

Mine's in for a Nizpro 75,00 km service tomorrow,

It'll be me with my wife and two kids (if they don't pike out at the last minute) for the lunch booking.

Do we get to see the Twelve Apostles?

Never been out that way before.

Today seems a good day to wash the car... no rain till Tuesday apparently, so a little touch up prior to the cruise should do. Also purchasing a Uniden 720SX handheld this week.

No mate. that's way too far.

[dre]

Too far for who?

[Maximus]

Rockatansky, if you have never been to the 12 Apostles, drive with the lads till they stop for lunch and drive the other 90k's or so there to go for a look see and you can have a later lunch at Lavers Hill or Port Campbell.

I proposed to my wife in a helicopter over them so I highly recommend heading down there esp if you have never been.

Once you leave Apollo Bay though you get into the Otway Ranges for the whole way there.

Also do you have any big pics of your car?

I was hoping to get some at the knox car show but didn't see your car there.

The cruise doesnt go down that far. I can certainly do one if people are interested. mAybe go all the ay along the Ocean Road and head down to Warnambool. Then come back the next dar. Its possible.

That I'd be in for. I'm not a fan of little cruises as I'm one of those guys who drives alot. Long cruises are great if you can get other people to come as a few cars breaks up the boring part of long drives.

Just over a week to go lads. I will need you to confirm if you have any passengers and if you are coming for lunch to I can make a firm booking at the pub.

Rusty and I drove the route last weekedn and the Ocean Road has some evidence of where the rock slides were but it was all clear. We will be driving anout 44 km on the GOR and in my opinion, some of the best bits.

I do have a few adjustments to make and will post the amended route shortly.

I also have to get my car serviced before hand. (There goes my xmas saving money)

Better mark me down for a +1 also. Yeah getting my 75,000k service done by Nizpro and there Stage 1+ kit. Getting excited.

[Rudiger]

Mate, are you getting their exhaust as well?

I found when I had the stage 1 and before I went to stage 2 that it had very long legs but I had to give it a bit before it took off. It may be just me. With the stage 2 the boost comes on much harder and sooner.

You will be be very happy with it though. It will drive around and do the shopping until you give it a bit and then look out.

Mine goes in Monday for a service, stop the exhaust knocking on the steering under heavy load around a left hand bend and I can't remember what else. Whatever it is, it will cost me bloody money.

Yeah I wish I could afford the exhaust too coz I've heard good things bout it. I've got the HDI GT2 intercooler in it with the process west air box so I'm hoping this gives me the throttle response im after. Exhaust will be definitely happening soon down the track because the quad tips I've got on are only from the diff back so they only for show. it makes a nice little note though. I'm hoping it doesn't scare the sh*t out of me for now and hopefully crack into the 300 club. would be the ideal case. Yeah the downside of enjoying cars . . . $$$$$
