Cruise #3 - 22 April 07

Sparhawk · Post by **Sparhawk** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 10:16 am

Just scanning for ideas for a get-together for April. Unfortunately April is a very busy month, so wont really have time to plan much, but I thought maybe just a meet up for lunch type affair would be good, whether it be a BBQ in the parklands (or somewhere ppl can see our cars) or at a pub somewhere. Doesnt necessarily need to be a cruise.

Unfortunately with Easter, and a stack of weddings/bucks nights/work commitments, the only free days it looks like I will have are Sunday 15th or Sunday 22nd.

I would love to catch up with you all again, so let me know your thoughts.

Steve.

OK, so no-one has any preferences... ???

Well, I think maybe just meet somewhere for a get together will be all I have time to organise this month. Worth it just to catch up though. Ill post details when I work something out.

sorry guys but i wont be able to join.. i have major assignments due at the end of this month but i am going to have to spare a few days for DRIFT BATTLE at Malalla (14/15th april) and Extreme Power Fest at adelaide international raceway (29th april). If anyone wants to come along i'm sure we can find ample parking together and put on a show for anyone walking by. i dont think ive ever come a cross a sweeter looking ride than an FTO... we'll be sure to draw some attention, and have a whole bunch of entertainment.. not a bad drive either.

cheers, tushar

Looks like this weekend will be out for me as well. Damn busy time of the year.

So maybe the 22nd, but I'll see how we go.

this topic has been quiet for quite a while does this mean there wont be a meet this month?
from what i can see so far, about 5 or 6 cars will be able to make it? (if there is a cruise..)
wel let us know before the 22nd.

Yeah, I have been really busy lately. Anyway, Sunday 22nd is still the plan. Weather looks ok at this stage, so I'm planning on a BBQ. Probably not much of a cruise though, but be worth just getting together anyway.

OK, so here's the plan ppl.

Meet at the usual place >>Here<< at 10am on Sunday the 22nd April.

Bring BBQ food (for yourself and/or passengers) and drinks.

We'll go for a bit of a city type drive, then stop for lunch, and play it by ear from there. Nothing too formal, just an excuse to get together.

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

My number if you need to talk to me is 0412 300 256. (but dont call me during business hours lol)

is it just going to be a casual cruise around town or are we going to have to fuel up? just wanting to know so we know what to be ready for.

Just a quick Thanx to those who turned up today. Not a bad day for an Improv...
And we tagged that FTO in Glenelg as a bonus

I didnt take a lot of pics, but ill post the better ones I did take.

A quick snap at the meeting place ;

Group Shot in Glenelg ;

Lunch Time ;

And the food of course ;

The View from Windy Point Lookout ;

Anyone good with Photoshop ? To get rid of the Bunting ?

I liked this shot too (not cos my car is the focus though) ;

And my Fav for today ;

Oops, almost forgot to put up a pic of the newcomer LOL ;

Look forward to seeing the other pics, and the vid climbing to Windy Point

Love that first photo of our cars Steve

Good to see you got the alcohol prohibited sign and the... er... non alcoholic beer in the lunch photo.

Not a huge number of pics from me either, but my designated cameraman got some good ones

Check the grin... 333 Only half evil...

At Glenelg:

Parked for Lunch:

Phantom:

Port Rd:

Hindley St. Sunroofs make for interesting reflections...

Windy Point Lookout:

Wouldn't be an FTO cruise without some twisty roads.

Pitty it's got some dash reflection in it, but I snapped this ripper in the tunnel

Might make for some good video on the next cruise...

The Windy Point video looks really slow, I'll tweak it a bit and post soon.

Cheers again to the people who made the effort to come and good to see some more new faces.

Look forward to seeing you all soon.
