OK you lazy lot, I have spoken to some of you individually and you are up for a cruise. Just leaves the when and the where.

Suggestions now please.

Roll Call so far is

Me
carpoid
dubstarmk2
dvr68u
Tass?
static?
Endless?
Syncro?

I`m thinking we meet at Liverpool or somewhere like that and cruise to Wollongong.

Nice Roads and hopefully a bit of beachy weather to alleviate the winter blues.

What about a midday meet on a Saturday 23rd July?

Please confirm attendance, no piking, bring your VW even if you have to push it.

23rd July is Sunday
I'll try to join this around, make sure you guy don't go too fast as my Mk2 is slooooooooow.
Who need not to work on 7 Aug (bank holiday) ? it could be better for me.

It's a lot of petrol all the way to woollongong, but liverpool is easy, though sunday is out, but saturday is ok, but don't count me as I'd just shake hands and wave goodbye to you all at liverpoolish methinks..
I'll bring what Golf Loon describes as "The little red car of Death"

Has there ever been a forum blokes GTG in NSW yet?
My sympathies go out to the VW enthusiasts that wanted it.
We are fortunate down here to have a band of real enthusiasts that make time to share their passion, and have a laugh on the way.
Hope a small band of you guys can get your run over the weekend. :(

We had the same trouble here 18 years ago trying to organise runs. Then we had one and half of the Golfs broke down:confused:

29-07-2006, 10:00 AM
Thats a bugger Syncro, hope you can do something over the weekend anyway. This topic was started in the 4th July so the guys have had plenty of time to organise there cars ect. for the run. Oh well, maybe next time?????:) Cheers, Andrew:)

deemoE36
29-07-2006, 02:34 PM
what if we make it a bit easier to for everyone and make a shorter run, maybe to the Parra raceway or oran park sometimes when something is on, like this weekend there was a drift comp
would be easier to organise and more ppl would go if its shorter distance


just a suggestion, post ur opinions

Golf Loon
29-07-2006, 07:30 PM
I can go tomorrow and if anyone has a plan, I`ll make some calls and get computerless friends to go.

In december we had 15 or so, in February, we had 5. I`m sick of organizing stuff and then you people dont confirm or show up.

Give us a meeting spot and a time demo3 and lets make it happen.

syncro
29-07-2006, 07:56 PM
How about meeting somewhere easy to park, easy to get to and not too much traffic, to start with?

Somewhere around The Crossroads, Narellan, Camden???

Then drive over Razorback to Picton, Menangle, Appin, Campbelltown area?

Just some suggestions as I will probably not be able to make it tommorrow.

(Valla is on next weekend and I have to work on the syncro)

Golf Loon
29-07-2006, 10:22 PM
Yeah thats good. Im up for that anytime, as its local to me. dvr68u will come too.

How about meeting at the crossroads hotel, as thats easy to find?

Dunno about tomorrow, I reckon people will not show.

Let see who will come and what date?

That said if anyone does wanna come tomorrow, lets do it. Call me on 0423 051737 and I`ll come :)

deemoE36
30-07-2006, 02:16 AM
i cant make it tomorow since i didnt think is happenin so i got stuf to do, but next weekend or one after i would be fine as long i know few days earlier of whats happenin
its not easy to make it happen with a small comunit like this

Golf Loon
30-07-2006, 09:04 AM
Its not hard to arrange, we just need to set a date and people need to confirm

Next week is Valla and some people will be at that, so what about the following weekend. Sunday 13th?

I want a list of people who are going please.

deemoE36
30-07-2006, 06:23 PM
im in,
also if u can make meeting time at about 11 am or so, its not easy to make it at 9;30 after sat night; if its not to much to ask

did anyone go for cruise today, anything happen?

30-07-2006, 11:59 PM
sun 13th count me in regardless of time and location ill be there just bring ear plugs my golf is LOUD haha got a friend in a 54 thats keen to come as well i know its not watercooled but its still a vw but in my opinion i think we need to set a date 3 weeks in advance set a location ie krispy kremes liverpool and once that is set no deviations from this is allowed you are either in or out just my my opinion thats worth less than a single banana at the moment

Golf Loon
31-07-2006, 09:09 AM
Ha Ha. Go the banana!
Definately the 13th. Meet will be around liverpool somewhere.
Details here soon.

maybe we should agree on a place to meet

Golf Loon
05-08-2006, 10:37 AM
What about Krispy Cremes Liverpool?? Is it on the Cumberland Highway? That is accessible from both M4 and M5. And a snack while we wait for the others to meet up. When we agree a location, we will get a photochopped map made up.

If Its a nice day, I`m thinking we goto Wollongong, as it will be sunny by the sea and a nice drive. Also easy to get home for the citybound lot as they can go up through sutherland.

Its gonna happen guys. I can bring at least 5 other dubbers who dont get on here.

a simple map wouldnt hurt, im not sure how to get there
also the time, comsidering its day after saturday night, many of us love to sleap-in :)
so around 11 at the K.C. ? that gives me time to get my gf from her place which is a bit of a drive for me

OK. This is the road it is on. Before the Orange Grove Megacentre on Orange Grove Rd heading North (Cumberland Highway) (No 7 Rd that goes between the M4 and the M5)

About the second set of lights after the Hume Highway Turnoff, there is a Mc Donalds, Supercheap Auto and a big carpark by Krispy Kremes.

Rendez Vous there at 11am Sunday 13th August.

We will be cruising down to Wollongong through the National Park and there should be a wide range of roads to drive on and a beach and some beers at the end of it. :)

They may close the Cahill Expressway. might be better to go along the M4 and down the 7, rather than through the city and along the m5

Have you got a map. My number is 0423 051737 if you get lost.

The Corrado is coming. Sweet. Who else has not confirmed?

Golf Loon
08-08-2006, 06:03 PM

From the city, you would have to pay the toll, then take the third exit I think and then turn right.

Take third off ramp after M5 toll plaza and turn right.

Meet at 11 at Krispys, take pics, eat donuts, wait for late watercoolers.

Drive down through the National park to the Gong

Stopping at some points of interest with nice views and ending up by the beach with a couple of beers.

Drive back via Sutherland, or M5, depending on preference.

Man i feel like one of my limbs has been cut off !!

Was driving along quite happily until it started to splutter, pulled over had a look, throttle body/coil looked all black like there had been a fire. Couple of minutes later it started smoking from underneath the coil etc.

Fook knows whats happened there.

lol yeah it was a great cruze, lucky the vr6 is to quick for the radar :D, and the cop had to estimate my speed , so he said 15 over, but the radar had said 134 but it didnt hold for 3 secs, lucky cos before i breaked some ppl may say i was 150+ hahah. im goin to take it to court, and tell the judge that in reality i was goin slow for my vr6 ;), an driving with due care and control and should be let off. and allowed to educate the ppl to the power of the VW hahah
