Gary, Sam and I finished up the Cruise with a run up Mt Buffalo after coming through Falls Creek.

We split up at Myrtleford at about 2:30 PM. I'm having dinner at Yass, still 270km to go for me......

Thanks everyone who came along to this cruise - helped make it very enjoyable for all - incredible cars, challenging routes, pretty good turbo weather and the satisfaction of sitting down with a cool drink at the end of the day and having a great yack with like-minded mates over the day's ummm events and just catchin up on other stuff :spoton:

We ended up having 12 people altogether and 9 cars at one point (in order as per Cruise List):

1. EvilDaifu VIC
2. RHR NSW
3. PookeyMaster NSW
4. HER-XRT VIC with k31th VIC
5. tab QLD

6. aussie_dozer ACT

7. Rudiger with Betsy and his son VIC

8. rjs NSW and his mate Stan NSW

I'm so farrkn tired right now - after 4 days of drivin covered 1920km - just gotta hit the sack.

Planning next year's in mid Nov 2014 again and proposing to start it in Omeo, then to Jindy then to Tumut - to encourage some more to see the VIC Alps and sample some of the best steaks around in the High Country :roflmbo::drivingalong:

I'll post some pics and vid of the cruise later on :beerchug:

Well, after a refreshing nights sleep (there really is nothing quite like your own bed), I have done all the chores so can sit and relax and reflect on what was an awesome weekend.

Some numbers for you all...if you're interested of course:

Fuel used: 225.7 litres

Average fuel economy: 11.6l/100 km. Varied from 9.8 up to 12.7 throughout the trip

Average speed: 76kms

Total driving time: 26:51 hrs

Total distance traveled: 1931.6kms (my car clicked over 70,000 and 71,000km's on this trip too - booked in for her service)

Number of under-steer moments: 3

Number of possible speeding fines: 1 (first one ever if I was actually done though) :oops:

Overall another amazing weekend with like-minded car nuts. Met some new faces again this year and a big thank you to Bethany as without her, I would have been the only girl again this year...hehehe.

I would really like to thank Gary for his sensational organisation and all the effort putting together this event. It was fabulous.

Wrapping up, I would just like to echo a few other members' comments and say to anyone thinking of going, DO IT! My car is as stock as a rock and I manage to be able to keep up :girlhaha: Just make sure you don't get car sick as there are some serious twisty's - just ask Stan...hahahahaha

Some photos from the trip...and a short clip of one of my under steer moments :blush:

Enjoy all and I am already looking forward to 2014!

Who's Idea was it to get drunk (presumably) and ring all the mod's from the forum?

If it was you Gary, my wife would like to have a little chat as you timed it just as we had put the baby down and it woke him up............. :nukem:

What happens on tour stays on tour.

Just have to echo the previous sentiments. Thanks to Gary for the impeccable organisation and to those that attended for making it such an awesome weekend. You guys all rock :nod:

How many sleeps to go?
