Well, thanx to those who braved the heat today. Good to see a nice turn-out. Pretty casual cruise, but as usual, worth the effort. And we managed to get more than 4 !!! OMG.

Well here are some of my pics. Ive scaled them for the forum. Most of them turned out pretty well, so I'll post a lot

Group shots first...

So this is what a GS looks like under the bonnet... (so much space in there lol)

Group shot from the back...

And one from the front...

And the Individuals...

TCGPX

MRX (had to boost the gamma to account for the high contrast)

Glamorous

Phantom

Sparhawk

Testlabmonkey

And here's just a random shot I took...

And of course the elevated shots...

And this is my Favourite, except you left for a pub run Phantom, so you missed out.

Whew. That was a big post.

OK, so it was a tree shot then

Great cruise.

Doesn't seem like a 39 degree day when your cruising around the
countryside in an FTO with climate control.

Nice to meet Glamorous and Phantom in person, look forward to seeing you both on the next cruise

Here's some more pics for ya...

On the road:

Was too close to the front to get the whole group driving. Next cruise I'll take a leg at the back as camera car and try get some more. Maybe even some video

Lunch:

Right side:

Left Side:

Don't worry Shaun, I got a reasonable one of your car...

Those shots from the tree are great Steve

I should have taken a pic of you up there

Love the way that last photo just came together randomly. I got a similar one too.
Who would have thought the scatter from a precarious tree branch could yield such a great photo. lol.

Im glad you had a good time, and look forward to seeing you next time. Dont forget to tag any FTO's you see around, to try to increase our numbers, now that you have some flyers

All we need now is some Club Stickers to put on your cars <glares at Shaun>

Technically there was some of it in front of you too

. There were some swings that are out of frame, they would have been to the right in the photo... hehe

Great that everyone had a good day - sweet shots from the tree there too Steve!!

I took a few, but I had forgottern to charge the batteries, so not a lot to add. Will post them shortly (probably...).

Great to see some new faces. Nice to see some old faces. Good of Steve to show up too

Ah, never get tired of it!

Will endeavour to find the stickers - they are in the garage somewhere, but I obviously put them somewhere safe.

As for March cruise - will have to defer to Steve for this one, as I am busy busy busy with Clipsal, Grand Prix, bucks party in Brisbane and then a wedding the week after. Ben's party also in there, so no room there at all for a cruise unfortunately

Glamorous - I hope you get that tyre replaced very soon!!! And get the alignment checked.

I also have a DVD with a bunch of stuff on there, such as video from the nation cruise a few years back, a montage of video and pics I put together a while ago, and the photo's from a heap of cruises (both Sydney and Adelaide). Will have to update it and will burn some copies off for y'all.
