I guess I better explain the whole situation with the new cruisers who wanted to come along. It was actually myself who notified BlueMetal about this cruise to Wollombi, which we thought was a good idea to come along, but the problem was that the people who had already confirmed to go on the initial cruise we had organised (Kangaroo Valley), the majority of them were from Canberra and so they didn't like the idea of heading that far north, so since majority rules, we have to decline your invitation to join you, as much as I really want to come, but keeping the original plan was the only way to keep most people happy. So I would like to say that I'm sorry for the confusion which could easily been avoided with better communication on my part.

The situation now though is that since BlueMetal has experienced some unforseen circumstances, it looks like the cruise he was organising may not happen at all, and so if this is the case, I would really like to come along, as I am the one who is really interested in the 6A12 conversion afterall, but I'll have to get back to you to confirm this. If I can't make it, I hope everyone has a good time and I hope to meet everyone at the next meeting.

Given what happened on the Lithgow cruise, if my car is not immaculate and shiny, I will not be showing up! Being silver it is not so bad, but some nasty people think it is funny to write things on other peoples cars...

Not that I would take part in this. Very immature if you ask me

immature... never

so come on guys who's coming?

ok got the day off work

and will be able to attened my FIRST cruise with you folks

......BUT do i really have to wash my car??

Teania · Post by **Teania** » Sun Aug 15, 2004 11:36 am

nup - you don't need to wash my car.... the whole thing stems from my car....

brief history - NORMALLY i wash my car all the time and turn up to cruises with it all immaculate and shiny..... but this time I had been rather busy and the car was.... well...... (supposed to be black) - but very very grey looking

so the boys (Steve/ Shaun & AJ) gave it some "colour" by writing
NOS
NISMO
TRD
4WD
TURBO
in all the deep dust on the side

Cheers Tanya

You are not going to believe this....but we will not be able to go! You can blame Kel's soccer team - if they had won their last game then they would have been minor premiers, and therefore if they won this weekend they would have had next weekend off (day of the cruise). However, they didn't, and so are now playing next Sunday @ 1.30pm to qualify for the GF.

If I don't go to the game, lets just say that would be bad. Although I was offered the chance (belatedly) to "go on the cruise if I want", that really just mean "make the right decision here, or your dead".

HOWEVER, they are acutally playing at Cessnock (about 20 minutes from where you are stopping for lunch). Will try and catch up with you at some point anyway. Would be really

for you all to just swing by the game - the locals certainly wont know whats going on!

What would your ETA be at Wollombi? Could meet you out there for lunch or something.

Can't believe it - pester you to come up this way and then this happens. Typical...

And to all those people who are wondering whether or not to go, come along! Great people and always a fun day. And the more the merrier (or something)

.

Message Rob or myself the details of where and we'll see if we can work out how to get there and what time...

Count me in!

I confirmed my scheds with my missus, so she is ok with me sneaking up early in the morning to finally meet my FTO club mates **excited**

Not sure if I'll be going yet. Been asked to take someone's spot at a day of skirmish on sat, so I'll see how I cope after that.
