Perth Drive this weekend? 28th or 29th?

[runamuk]

Who else is up for a late notice drive?

[SteelHand]

Ooh, ooh, count me in!!

SteelHand.

[runamuk]

Any other takers? Balkanac?

[balkanac]

that means i have to wash my car... :)
Sure, im coming

[sikbora]

Can't make it on Saturday but Sunday is ok.

Nik, don't worry bout washing the car, looks like it will rain.

[MattyT]

Sunday for me. This reminds me, I want to buy some leather driving gloves :biggrin:

[SteelHand]

Either day is good for me.

[geoff_gti]

Sunday morning should be ok. Gave mine a quick wash last weekend in time for the breakfast so I think that will have to do for this weekend too lol

[FJ Steve]

No good for me...sorry. (And still no .:R32!!!!):duh:

[runamuk]

OK, so Sunday morning it is. How about we meet at the usual spot in Kings Park at say 930am?

[MattyT]

Oh god, so early :javacomputer:

(Replace PC with vr6 and you get the idea)

[runamuk]

Well I was going to say 8 if that makes you feel any better...

[SteelHand]

We going someplace new at all? - Not that I really care as we don't usually have time to view the scenery.

SteelHand.

[dubsweeper]

if i can find a driver for my vr6 i will come along, i got 6months left on my suspension:drinkbeer::frown: and i couldnt risk that !!!

[geoff_gti]

I gotta be home around midday so as long as it's not too far! :D

[sikbora]

Have to be home bout noon aswell and also dont mind change of scenery

[MattyT]

Got me a tank full of jooce, tyre pressures sorted and drove around enuff in the rain to constitute the car being washed :biggrin:

I'm all for variety, so lets roll elsewheres this time :)

[geoff_gti]

Hmmm, coast run maybe? Not so hilly though, obviously :P

[tinto]

i'm up for a drive pretty much every weekend (sunday am usually), but will have to give this one a miss. Just had some more surgery on my back (get out tomorrow) so wouldn't want to be driving miss daisy, ruining the fun and breaking my spine on the coilovers :)
Have a good time guys, stay safe wherever you go.

[runamuk]

Not really a fan of the coast drives myself... unless it's sunny and I'm driving alone. Too many other cars and attention, and yeah, it's dead flat and straight.

Perhaps we should start a little earlier if some have to be back for midday.

[balkanac]

[geoff_gti]

hahaha in that case you can still come for a cruise, but just don't go swimming. it's too cold anyway :duh:

[balkanac]

never take drugs, even if they are called medicines :) they make you write nonsense

[geoff_gti]

seems my typing is no better than yours nic... previous post edited 'don't to swimming' wtf???? :confused: :)

tinto, hope you have a speedy recovery mate!

so, any update on where we might go? perhaps we could meet at 9 not 9:30 since a few of us are under a bit of time pressure.

[runamuk]

OK, 9am it is... DNA tower (bring a brolley) then go and drive to some dams...

[MattyT]

[FJ Steve]

Looks like the weather held for a short while.

Looking forward to the German day in Northam (27/7)...now where's my R?

[sing.song]

Nice to meet sing.song - sorry if we lost you in the end!



i live east, so made sense for me to stay on SW hwy! then i could drive at a slower pace =)
had a great time, apart from getting done for speeding over the narrows (I think) :duh:
I'm defiantly thinking the drives are more of a boys day out! my little beast just couldn't keep up!!

[runamuk]

I used to lead in my GL quite often... (the trick with a GL is to keep your revs up high ;) )

We will always wait at a turn off for everyone to catch up, so drive at the pace that you feel comfortable with, it's definitely not a race.

Hope you didn't get done sing.song! We'll have to call you speed.song now :)
Great lil drive guys, no one broke anything i hope? Except for Mat's headlight cover lol
Weather held up really well for the most part. We got drizzled on a bit up at Canning Dam and there was another shower later on but the rest was sunshine!
More pics?

Lies all lies! Ladies are more then welcome and it isn't a race, we just have weak right ankles.

well that is good to know. if i weren't so darn shy i would have spoken more! guess i was concerned about getting too far behind and getting lost but now i know about the corner stops. great idea.
a few of my pics turned out pretty good, so i shall post soon. just need a little advice on using my pentax better!
just curious, have you had females on drives before?

[runamuk]

Normally we'd stop for lunch somewhere and have a yabber, but time was a bit tight, so only a drive was really possible.

There's been a few ladies who have come along on drives in the past, usually as passengers, or sometimes you'll find a couple who are dub freaks.

What made you decide to buy a golf? (my ex had one and I loved it, so I needed my own)

[sing.song]

well i was looking for a car so i had more incentive to learn to drive, quickly reaching the age of 25! i'm blessed with looking young and innocent!
had a fair amount of knowledge of VW in the past, family had owned a few beetles. stumbled across a golf in the paper and thought wow they're pretty awesome little cars. then i guess i went in search for one. most were out of my price range to begin with, then i happened to sell my vespa scooter (12 months later!) and the next day this blue golf appeared online.
gave it a shot and it all worked out. best car i could have ever wished for. left handed indicator for a left handed human.
