Speaking of people who've broken cars on FG cruises, just got a message from Alex, he's in images/smilies/biggrin.gif

SileNceR · October 8th, 2008, 12:20 PM

Awesome. Really pumped for this

How many of us have FG shirts?

eddysdaman · October 8th, 2008, 9:50 PM

I do!

andyhui01 · October 9th, 2008, 1:41 AM

^what? Where are the FG shirts?

I'm not that active here anymore... stupid damn Thread Subscription stopped working for some reason on this thread... haha

flyingfridge · October 9th, 2008, 3:00 AM

heheh i was wondering why u hadn't updated the forester into the avatar....

...I don't have one either

eddysdaman · October 9th, 2008, 11:19 AM

My mate (Ben) has asked that you list his car as a "C4 Superleggera" as hes taking shit out of it images/smilies/tongue.gif

Also, my uncles might come. One in a Porsche 996 Turbo (0-100 in 3.6 cough) and the other uncle in a to be named rental.... possibly a RS4 or M3 or Gallardo ... (0-100 in also very quick cough lol)

andyhui01 · October 9th, 2008, 12:21 PM

^finally someone to destroy the GTR images/smilies/tongue.gif

flyingfridge · October 9th, 2008, 1:14 PM

No, I'm giving it a miss. It's a big cruise with a few FG members tagging rather than an FG meet - I'm not really interesting in a cruise of this size on those roads amongst people I don't know.

I understand, its just hard to resist such a diverse group of cars going for a weekend drive. In the future, before the weather cools down (Marchish) i'd really like to organize a Sunday of Go-Karting (or something similar), dinner and some sunset and night photoshoot for FG members only.

flyingfridge · October 12th, 2008, 11:16 PM

Shane, Alex and I did a bit of a recon run down there yesterday and I think I'll make a couple of changes to the route. Provided it meets with the forum's approval of course. The route we did yesterday was just too good, it's shorter by about 100km and seems to be a better mix of 'Great Ocean Rd and Otways'.

See it here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sadd...4,2.460938&z=9

Thoughts?

Added Geelong meet info to first post

andyhui01 · October 13th, 2008, 2:38 AM

What about doing this? At least we won't have to repeat any sections of the road and back-trek, I've also tried to use as little of the M1 as possible by further using the smaller A roads.

flyingfridge · October 13th, 2008, 2:53 AM

no, the back tracking is there for a reason, you've cut out the best road on the drive.

And I'm pretty sure part of the road from Lavers Hill to Forrest is dirt.

andyhui01 · October 13th, 2008, 3:08 AM

ooh... then we better leave it as it is. Since we cut our Colac, I guess we would stop for Fuel at BP in Geelong on the way out or in, I assume there would be one along the main road?

flyingfridge · October 13th, 2008, 3:14 AM

Shouldn't be a problem with fuel, yesterday i did it melbourne to geelong in the GT-R (remember how thirsty the bloody thing is?), however if you are worried we can stop at the big BPs on the freeway at Lara just before geelong. There's also a few servos on the way through geelong for a top up.

Ross_90 · October 13th, 2008, 7:56 AM

hey guys! my mate Dan (wiggy_stiggy) has already put me down as in...just thought i would pop in and say hi. Can't wait...should be an awsome drive. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

ohh and i will be catching up with you guys in Geelong.

haha yh destroy is a big claim the 911 would be good for a 12 i think so sam would need to bring his A game hehe.

My mates cant make it one is selling the F6 shame really and others are doubtful. But im going to off put my car going into panel beaters and come myself images/smilies/smile.gif

, still not sure which rims to have on it??? lol

Bakis · October 13th, 2008, 9:20 AM

ooo i like sam's idea of re doing the run from Lavers Hill to Glenaire at least tyres will be warm for second run images/smilies/smile.gif
