South Australia - 2007 Cruise 1 - 4th February

mrx · Post by **mrx** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 7:22 pm

Just thinking of a casual cruise, bbq, catch up type thing. Perhaps up to that park which we passed on the last cruise. Will bring the portable just in case though.

As for date, looking at the 4th Feb already, as I think it might be a bit soon to arrange for this weekend. However, we have nothing on so if we can all make it, let me know and we can make it happen.

While there we can have a chat about what we want to do this year, such as go-karts, wine tasting, skirmish, wine tasting, camping, and perhaps if we could squeeze in some wine tasting too.

Also have to show y'all the road down from Mt Osmond! Awesome indeed.

Let me know when suits and we will go from there.

i will have to bow out for now. my back yard is being renovated all through Feb so ill be a little pressed to spare valuable daylight hours.... up for any night time activities still though

... no i didnt mean it like that... first half of this year will be a little crazy for me as far as weekends are concerned.. you know with getting married and all

Invented a time machine Shaun?
We're in 2007 now mate

No plans at this stage for that weekend. Sounds good to me.

Well, Ive just walked in checked the forum after spending a week on a houseboat on the Murray

. I didnt exactly have Internet access, but I did have Moet, Crayfish, Beer, Women, Scotch, Poker, Wine, etc etc to keep me busy. Show you the photo's when we meet up. Think I'll have to start saving and planning for the next houseboat holiday now...

Anywho... 4 Feb sounds good, so long as the Moron doesnt change it to 2008 or something... ( that better Shaun? )

Park in Gumeracha for a BBQ sounds perfect. Count me in.

WTTC to all the Adelaide Newbies. Hope you all make it to a lot of our cruises this year. There may be hope for Adelaide yet... Not that I tire of the regulars (you know who you are) cos its always good to see you all, but some new blood is just a little exciting

LOL!! The first insult for the year....ahhhh, thats better!!

Houseboat holiday would be awesome though. Hoping to do that some time this year.

Anyhow, locked in the 4th Feb. Will specify more details closer to the date. Hope everyone can come along (even Steve), and we can work out what we want to do this year etc etc. Will work out an interesting way of getting there of course.

Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

The REALY CRUD PART is the fact that when i took it in it was 100% FINE!.........

So can someone PLEASE help me Crying or Very sad

Oh, and more of the people who bought them new. There were a lot more tiptronic FTO's sold than manuals.
That's who.

Really sorry to hear about your car StewGood

. I haven't come across this problem, but try putting up a post in the FTO help section. Maybe someone else has had a similar problem already.
Might help to check error codes?

Mmm very suss - i got some legal advice on it - (not a lawyer) and they said for them to be liable thre needed to be evidence that it Just freakishly happend and not a - wear and tear - old - was bound to happen type thing....

But still VERRY SUSSS!

But now it is just saving up time

sorry again!
