OK PEOPLE... BAY CRUISE '07 IS LOCKED IN!!!

Details are as follows...

Meet Point is Albert Park (for the Melbournites) @ 7am on Saturday October 6th (here's where: http://vr6.com.au/images/albertparkmeetspot.jpg - thanks for the pic Tim :) ). From there we will cruise for the bay (Apollo Bay) down the wonderful GOR (Great Ocean Road) so anyone not from Melbourne can meet us in the slips.

Could we possibly do an inland run on the way back? Could someone pick the cafe? The answer to both is yes so start posting if you're interested and feel free to add ideas!!

Hopefully the weather will have cleared up by then so all will be peachy!

PE@CE!

What's so bad about this.

The last few cruise's I went on took me about this. Remember, I drove nearly 3 hour's one way for donut's & milkshake :rolleyes:

Come on fella's. Be part of it.

I reckon this cruise will be the only one that come's close to me.

I'm up for this, but i do think we need to pre-organise ways to contact each other.

Cb's and mobiles are a must and possibly have one person at the front and one at the back at all times to keep us as a group.

Hi there!!! I am a new member and would like to join you guys for a cruise along the Great Ocean Road. Is there a pre meeting to discuss the itinerary? Lately, I haven’t had chances to drive my car and this cruise sounds fantastic and is a good chance to meet other members.

Cheers, Casca

I'm happy to be the last car, that way I can get good pics of the cars ahead. And not to mention am terrible with directions. Otherwise would be too tempted to cain it all the way....

The more the merrier, no pre meetings, Just do it (nike). The only meeting we have is on the day chat a bit then head off once everyone has arrived.

CB's probably wouldn't be such a bad idea. Can anyone get a bulk purchase discount? Any one here work for DSE?

just be careful with the radios tho, last time i got pulled up by the coppers they specifically asked if we had them... so if you have them, hide them in the car if someone gets pulled up...
there isnt a law against them is there?

No the problem is they can be used to organise drags and the like. previously when i've used them i've had them well hidden just in case.

Guys.....if I can get my very ordinary time management sorted, count me in!

I have yet to cruise with any dubbers and The Great Ocean Road would be a perfect way to pop my cherry :o

I will need to make it 2 cruises in one.....firstly just to get to you guys and then the actual day out. It's a long lonely way from Albury :( Makes it a long weekend for me, so need to ensure I can get away from the shop.

If I can make it, don't panic on UHF's....forget DSE, Autobarn, et al. I own the local HN franchise and can pull from stock what we would need.

Will need to confirm attendance in about a weeks time...but am pumped to be there. :cool:

Definitely going to try and get down now....cold air is back on working awesomely (see "breath of fresh air...) and I should have the the springs and roll bars on by then. Will be the 1st real hit up for her.

Will probably be down on the Friday (staying in Albert Park somewhere, Queens Rd), do the drive on Sat and then head home on Sun. May as well make a weekend of it ;)

I was bored yesterday & decided to go for a spin down the GOR for a wrecky (as this & the Otway's was my backyard for driver training;)) & I've got some awesome road's to travel down.

I'd suggest that you fill up your fuel tanks in Geelong, bring a camera, glass cleaner & rag (as the sea mist can create problem's with sunglare in the arvo) & also make sure your tyres are in good nick cause some of these road's are very demanding! My Toyo's no longer have chicken strip's on them & are worn right around the sidewall.

I thought I'd step up to the plate & work out the travel plan from the GOR.

The tour I've laid out (we don't have to go this way, but is the most enjoyable & avoid's the GOR traffic) is meetup in Geelong maybe the waterfront for some photo's, then a casual cruise (due to traffic & the 80K speed limit:mad:)down the GOR to Lorne for some more photo's & a bit to eat, then keep going toward's Apollo Bay & turn off at Sceene River inland. We can also go to Apollo Bay & go this way on the return. This the road that set's it apart IMHO & is mostly 100km/h too! With plenty of stopping point's for some crazy scenery pic's looking through the valley, ocean etc.

Round trip from Geelong is just over 200K's. The earlier we start, the better.

Can't wait.

I garantee no one will be disappointed with the chosen road's.

Was going to bring the NB Cabrio out for a run (she doesn't stretch her legs much these days!!) but most likely will have to beg the other half - Blutopless - for a ride.

im sure der management do not promote careless driving.
Most cruises can be described as spirited usually. The important thing to remember is that its not a race! And if youre not comfortable keeping up with the person in front you dont need to. I guess its also important though that if you are out for a bit of a sunday drive then perhaps stick further back in the pack as the front runners im sure would want to enjoy the twisty bits :D

Is the convoy stopping at all in Geelong or pasing through?

If so, how about if I meetup with the convoy on Latrobe Tce just after the Barwon River Bridge near the Barwon Valley Golf Course. VW Geelong is the last dealership on the left just before you go over the bridge.

At least you can pull over on the side of the road there without fear.

If you follow the Princes Hwy it turn's into Latrobe Tce & Settlement Rd & back into the Princes Hwy.

Cool.

As Tim has stated & I will remind everyone before we turn off the GOR & head inland. It's a cruise & not a race.

These road's can be very dangerous even taking it easy & can be extremely dangerous when pushing hard.

As long as the VAG product isn't totally over run I suppose.

Bustin' my arse at the moment to get some KW V2's by the weekend. Don't think they'll arrive in time. Also have a crazy vibration through the front like something's broken.

However, look forward to some good pics from the cruise. Mind you,:idea: any news about the charity cruise in November? People are lining up to see me without a moustache to grow it back :D and are willing to sponsor double if I shave my head tooj: Have a great Saturday anyway - used to do the trip while I was still a young intern in Warrnambool...Good times indeed!

What's going on here people's. They're a few too many piker's

Arrrrrhhhhhhhhhh Chief!!!:o

My mum was hassled by some idiot cop's who waited around for ages till my mum came back from shopping & done the same to her.

Even though the reg. was paid, they didn't believe it because the label wasn't stamped.
Haven't they heard of internet banking.

The worst thing was they weren't even local police, & were from another town & had nothing better to do.

I suppose on the lucky side of thing's they didn't do the car for being waaaay to low.


I wonder if it wouldnt be a better idea to cruise out on the Princess hwy and than back through the twisty bits as the bad weather will have cleared up by than.

We can go which ever way you want, but I will say if you go that way, that your going down the best part of the drive first & then have to fight GOR arvo traffic heading back to Torquay.

Remember if your a spirited driver that the GOR isn't the best road these day's with heaps of tourist traffic & 80km/h speed limit.

Ask a few local's & they'll say that the back road's are far more enjoyable.
