Please read the DISCLAIMER below before contiune, & this event is not endorsed by FTO Club of Australia.

High light for the night.

1. Waiting for Mil to pick Schumiefan & I at Shell, while I watch Akumi, Newbie, Sliter, GPXXX, efteoh & that GTR dude drove straight pass us.......

2. Watching Schumie's missy try to open Ethan's car door

3. Mil & his launch tech, in his own word "Its not the car, its the driver" haaahahaa

4. The ride with mil, at least once he pass 1st gear, we have lots of fun.. & the bloody wheel spin everytime he down gear. (not for the faint hearted)

5. The look on Kym's face when Akumi ask her "Is that a drift dent on your S15" hahahaaha

6. The weight ratio didn't matter the awesome GTR, but apparetly made a different to Mil when he was "red light GP" with mikey heeheheehe so was it the clutch slip or just me on board ahahaha

7. When we line up the Blue STI, Mil's MR2 turbo on the left, STI at the middle, Kym's S15 on the right, & the GTR (sorry bro i keep fogetting your name) on its ass, & i think maybe Mikey's turbo FTO is there somewhere too ehhehee

8. Who can forget "BREAST OF CHICKEN" Mil you know thats your nick for life. haahahahha

9. The look on Jason's face, when we told him what's a "Pinky". You should of bring you series VII RX7.

10. Well i save the best for last, me & my Pajero went the bloody wrong way on the freeway as i'm taking the "tourist" home, hey at least they get the tour of the whole eastern freeway haahaaa

yeah actually we did!!! a "weight reduction" (de-badged) E36 318i was "jamming" us on the last 3-4km of down hill run.

Ohhh i forgot to mention, great effort to Ethan & Josh, even though you guys didn't have a chance with the turbo cars, at least you guys leave those "aussie" car to eat dust

It was great meeting up with you guys again, too bad i have to leave early. Good to see old and new faces.

The funny bit for the nite was when i was taking schumiefan and his missy and lost you guys. i felt like one of the race scene in Initial D, 86 versus toyota altezza. couldn't even see you guy's taillights.

Yeah we were wondering what took you guys so long, Kym, Mil & I went from one end of the mountain to the other, & then did a U turn came back, & we still beat you.

Your other friend who also had a MR2 turbo was with us while we were stuck behind that Hyundai, but after we over take it, they were nowhere to be seen in the revise mirror, & they end up with you & newbie.

Any pics to share??

someone forgot his camera KEV!

ahahahaahaha. it was definately a memorable nite. Enjoyed every minute of it and having Kev in the only other chair in my car was a blast!

I still hearing Kym's ranting on about my 'braking' ahahahahahahahaha

and Kev u know we would have smoked Mikey if my foot hadnt slipped off the clutch

Being so god damn hungry and hadnt eaten for hours, having the 'breast of chicken' gave me the biggest stomach cramp for the rest of the nite!

The nite was fun, very social environment, very nice weather and hope we have a chance to do it one more time before the weather its too cold and wet.

Sounds like you all enjoyed the weekend hope to see you all at the next cruise and you can fill me in on the Breast of chicken ?????

GPXXX · Post by **GPXXX** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 11:11 pm

yeah absolutely loved the evening... good to see some new faces rocking up to the event and glad to see everybody got along to well... despite coming across some close calls with the cops down Knox, it was lucky that everything turned out incident-free...

FTOluv wrote:and Kev u know we would have smoked Mikey if my foot hadnt slipped off the clutch

well feeding your car with 5000rpm launches (with a button clutch) isn't really smart is it??

rofl... next time i'll turn my AVCR back on and we'll see who gets the most tyresmoke from wheelspin instead lol... oh and maybe next time you should eat at the Kebab stall down Donny Rd instead - at least if you get food poisoning, you're poisoned by hot asian chicks lol (and you can die happier)...

Toni, don't worry - those breasts were not from men and they're not from Taree either...

Ethan, sorry dude - had to call it a night, too tired from only having 6 hrs sleep the night before... but i gotta hand it to ya though, nice work in keeping up with my ass through the twisties even with atmo tiptronic... with the turbo onboard the torque-steer is just not twister-friendly anymore lol...

but i was rather surprised how many ppl we left behind coz we pretty much had the roads all to ourselves that night...

Yeah damit i remember my Video Cam in the morning, but as i was rushing to pick up Schumiefan from the city after work, i forgot

damit Schumie is your fault, u only gave me 1 hr notice

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:36 am

Kev, u could have got some good footage on the way down from the mountain!! dang!

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 10:20 am

Yeah i know with the open Targa top, i get all the engine note as well.....damit damit damit. & capture all the swearing & sign language that Kym gave you as well haahahahaa

Well next time mate, & by then we should have a mix line up of MR2 turbo, series VI & VII RX7, S15, GTR, turbo FTO, N/A FTO, & bikes yeah babe....

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:08 pm

whos got the series 6 RX7 becuz Jason has got the series 7.

but yeah it would have been so funny getting all that action on tape

oh yeah, i was gona let u drive my car Kev but i totally forgot as we only stopped once. I wanted u to tell me what u thought of the power. oh well , next week i'll definately let u have a drive of it

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:29 pm

My other friend Ank had the series 6 RX7, its red like Jason, he came to one of the FTO cruize in another friend's MR2 turbo before.

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:33 pm

so it seems that people that own a MR2 usually have a friend that owns a RX7!

dont tell me his friends MR2 is black as well!

Slither · Post by **Slither** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:56 pm

Tis cool Mikey my man, i can understand, i went to work at 5am that morning on 1 and a half hours sleep, let me tell ya it wasnt my finest day!!!

It is interesting how much trouble you were having with the torque streer though, food for thought........

GPXXX · Post by **GPXXX** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 4:20 pm

yeah i guess it just needs to be tuned properly for a more progressive power curve... it's quite linear as is, but with full boost at 4000rpm, it's quite hard with 350NM at the wheels trying to take over the steering from you lol... (which is very scary along mt dandy)
