Me and Unknownspeedster were thinking of having a meet/cruise next Saturday on the 12th. We're going to meet at about 12PM (Noon) at the car park near the end of War Memorial Drive, and from there on going into the hills up to Corkscrew Road, which is part of the Classic Adelaide.

So who else is up for it?

Going:

Dsemaj - 1985 Nissan Bluebird
Unknownspeedster - 2007 Mini Cooper S

Maybe:

Olie - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 MR
?Tone - Holden TS Astra

Not sure if I can make that date - Car's also going in for a cambelt change/service soon too so I'm going to be significantly lighter in the pocket!

If it's any help I have the road books for classic adelaide and could offer route suggestions.
 
Hmmm. Maybe the 19th is better?
 
Im pretty happy to move dates gotta be a saturday though or during the week as sundays Im always at work and gti138 it would be great for any route suggestions, i had the idea of starting up near TTP and working our ways thru the hills going thru places like corkscrew, Gorge road, Lobethal bypass and then finishing up in Belair. but id love some ideas

I'll have a quick look at the road books tonight and see what I can come up with. Saturday's don't really suit me sadly - but I'm happy to offer route suggestions for you guys :)
 
We're planning to do it on the 9th of February now.
 
Ah. Could be tricky. Don't think I can make it, sorry.

It's probably for the best. You don't want some shitty TS Astra tagging along now, do you? :p
 
Id bring Boris, but I sold it when I left Adelaide :(

You should try the old Princes Hwy from Murray Bridge to Greenhill. Thats one hell of a road!

Well, yes! Then I wouldn't have the shittiest car on the cruise! :lol:
 
hopefully we can turn this cruise into more then a 2 horse race, lol
if u interested in coming or confirming u attendance please post so, so we can get a list of people interested.

i was thinking of starting up in St Agnes and working our way thru the hills.

How many adelaide members are even on this forum?
 
several searching in the members list for the word Adelaide gives u 26 results and South Australia gives another 3 members + numerous who probably don't have location filled out
 
well, we are considering moving the cruise to another date, the only restraint is it has to be a Saturday, so yets work something out to involve the most possible members.
