Melb Cruise. July-26

[cpitts]

Well, I'm ready for Sunday, just got an alignment as well as my new Type M pads. Will give them a work out to see how they compare to stockers.

Make sure you bed them in first. I recommend 10 hard stops from ~150-10kph back to back (find yourself a very empty strech of road you can back to back brake).

Thanks for the advice guys, already done.

+1 Daz. Make sure you don't come to a complete stop though. As Craig has noted ~ 10kph...

lol, thanks for the advice fellas.

Already bedded in the pads fairly well already. WITHOUT coming to a complete halt.

I hope there is going to be another day out some after this one cause I will be very intrested to join the fun and meet the fantastic people and cars we have on this site.

It will be a good learning experience for me to get to know you guys and maybe I might throw on a BBQ. (If the wife lets me LOL...)

Just to warn you guys my BBQ is on coal and its the wog way.

Have fun guys and take care.

Don't you think they'd enjoy a nice sunday drive?

[drndrn]

I agree. lol. With the apparent number of cops out, I highly doubt anyone will be willing to drive spiritedly. COME!

Hey Ric,

You havn't meet my kids.

They make the devils kids look like angels. I reackon if I leave the kids for 3 minutes in the back of my car the door trims will be pulled off. One thinks he's Megatron and the other believes he can do the stunts and tricks like the Tom and Jerry show.

Is it also the end of school holidays down there this weekend? Could explain the extra police presence. Would also mean heaps of people coming home to Melbourne from wherever they've been.

[drndrn]

Nah Smythie, its the second week of school already down here.

Doh! Makes the cruise a bit a 'walking on egg shells' type experience, especially if the coppers catch wind of us up there.

Yeh hope not the same result the last cruise i went on, they told all of us to pull over (mind u also 20+ cars) defect/EPA/drug/licence testing for all!
Passengers didn't miss out on the testing either. most of us were stuck for around 2hrs as they tested car by car, some longer as any major defect given they grounded the car (tow away job) and the defect list on most cars were pretty tame POD+FMIC, rims to wide, to low etc... any excuse to get the thing towed home, cops were loving it. 1 drive day i'll never 4get any time soon....
