Posted 23/08/08 09:24 AM Share Posted 23/08/08 09:24 AM (edited) Sorry to butt in its Robbo hereStarted a topic from all the good stuff out of the last night cruise.Feel free to get "Mini" spur of the moment cruises started.After looking like it might even start to clear on Fri evening.....soon as we got into our cars to leave......down it comes..... and stayed that way for most of the run There were a few spots where I saw the T/C light and a couple times she wanted to understeer in the tight stuff.....but it was still all good though Im glad I backed off that rear sway bar during the week Shame about Ryan's P/S hose.....and the cops on the coast road....sitting just under the speed limit, so I had to hassle him along a little bit, then he pulled over but I didnt realise he'd started off again behind myXR6 .....sorry mate... Despite the soggy night, it was great to see such a good turnout and thanks for the support guys.....even met some new friends.... Was talking with Rob afterwards about maybe making this a regular once a month thing.....varying the route of course....what do you reckon?

Posted 24/08/08 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 24/08/08 10:06 AM Yeah, I was getting a little understeer into some of the tight downhill stuff.....then still picking up rear wheels on the climbs. (should have backed both bars off instead of just the rear one).....and despite fiddling with pressures recently, I still dont have the wet weather confidence in these Marangonis yet. Im so bummed that it rained on Friday night..... When I did the reccy on this route several weeks ago, it was dry as and it really was quite a good little run.... but the rain just stuffed it you know.... To see how much it slowed us up.....the section between Stanwell Tops and Waterfall Station is 17.5kms.... On Friday night it took us just on 20 mins to go point to point...... When I did it in the dry during the reccy.....14 mins , (although admittedly I did have the finger out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/08/08 03:06 AM Author Share Posted 25/08/08 03:06 AM (edited) Ok, since mercuryturbo came up with the idea, Ill let him pick the date alright. When I have the date, Ill set a route and PM all who have shown interest.... Actually, now I think about it.....why not do the Friday night cruise in reverse....not reverse gear silly.....I mean go down the coast to W/gong Maccas, then up Ousley, out to Wilton, then Appin and back to Bulli...get the picture..... Since its mid week and we have to work the next day, this would also give guys like Senna and Chris the chance to leave the cruise and get home at a more reasonable hour instead of driving back to the Shire and having to go back home from there you know....just a thought... Im open to suggestion ok.... Five runners already eh'......wait till Robbo reads this..... might be six.....

He's probably a few weeks away from smashing it out with us, but as soon as he is able, he'll be boosting up the ute more than before. Ohh, and he'll still bring the BBQ!

Haven't seen him around here since the beginning of the year. He was super active on the site and then nothing from him.Must admit it seemed strange. Good to hear he's on the mend from whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news Pat.....pleased to hear hes on the mend and will be back out enjoying himself with the rest of us soon.... As for our mid week run, the weather report is not much chop for this week....so how about one night next week?...hopefully, the rain wont still be hanging around.....
