FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey guys and gals,
Just grabbing a few idea's of what we can do for the next cruise.
Some ideas brought up during last weekends cruise were:
- BBQ somewhere
- Chuck the cars on a barge and go over to one of the islands
Feel free to voice your opinions on what may make a good cruise.

Stickied so we can constantly fill this out as idea's arrise.

Track Day or Defensive Driving course day would be a good one... I really need an excuse to do both

Byron Bay - Great drive down.. althought its all highway its awesome or you can go the back way.. which is a hell of a drive but takes 2 hours longer haha.

Burumba Dam - Ok drive takes about 2 + hours taking it easy, once you get there views are great.. Lots of photo opportunities.


BBQ Ideas:

Wellington Point - great views good photo opportunities.

Cleveland Point - "as above"

Oyster Point - (Not a well known spot but its secluded and kinda of small but right on the water)

Wynnum Foreshore - Its ok lol

Manly Harbour - "as above" But different views.. (boats) looks cool if you get the right shot with your car

i have plenty but thats all im sharing for now haha

bribie, but that's just because i want to have an excuse to go there and eat at scooner (i'm sure i got the name wrong, but...), i swear they have the best take away food i've ever had (managed to down a works burger and a 12" hot dog with everything on it and half a chicken club sandwich thing last time... and no i didnt eat anything else for the next 4 days lol)

or an arvo cruise, and then a piss up (which will probably mean ppl will end up sleeping in their cars lol)
yes i know i've suggested booz at every single oppotunity lol.

Seconded, if only just for the afternoon cruise part... The Early mornings kill me

I will be going to byron bay this weekend (coming)
sweet looks like a cruise to byron bay with me

Im out for about 3 months

Would suggest Mt Warning, but I'm not sure what its like out there..

The springbrook drive is nice, though theres lots of cops down there nowadays.. not that it would matter because we would all be going under the speed limit of course.. but yeah..

Still definately keen for a DIY Day ... Anyone ned to do a service on their car?

I'll be doing every 5,000kms on my new engine.. maybe we could have a service day every 2 months or something... Not a cruise... just a service day... alongside the cruises???

I'd be up for that... my mechanical knowledge needs increasing

Moving in next month or so... trying to find a house with a garage and a nice big front yard for parking cars..

Easier said then done though... want something northside near a train line if possible for well... as little as possible ~~~~

Sounds like a plan, I'm hardly an expert, but I can help people out with a lot of the basics ... I would suggest maybe one day could be spent on figuring out what needs to be done for peoples servicing & then they can have some time to get the together the stuff they need to get the job done, fluids, filters, whatever other parts.. & then meet up again to do the work ...

i'm in on the DIY idea.
never trusted anyone to service my car, cos u never know if they used the oil u asked for etc...
besides my mechanical knowledge is ... um... i need some lol

Righto... Well i know basic mechanical knowledge.
But i think we should have someone that realy knows what they're doing there...

Maybe if we made it for the first Sunday of every 2nd month or something like that... My place is out because of no room... Anyone got room for 5 cars or so?

maybe BorepYano can paint my head lights

lol no.... man this sucks i'm way to lazy

Is there anyone who really knows what they're doing? I think any of the major jobs / problems would need to be taken to a mechanic for anyway... But this would save people a lot of money on the simple stuff, things that a mechanic would charge hundreds in labour for it would only be the cost of parts .. For me it usually works out to around $100-$150 depending what I need to do..

good thing u didnt look too closely, ther's bits of crap trapped in my lights, and i'm too lazy to open them up again lol

slacker! lol

Oh yeah, the major things will still be done by a mechanic, But im sure we may be able to get a discount on filters and oils etc for buying 5 of everything...
Was thinking things like oil changes, filter changes, fuel filter changes, etc etc...
