I'll be in on that (hopefully nothing comes up in the meantime

). girly might tag along to take action shots and maybe even dig out the DV Cam too.
there was talk in another thread about a Great Ocean Road run. want to hope that it wasn't wet for that one though.
may even be able to drag along a mate with a MY05 3.0R-B 6MT too.
Will

Good work Brad. The GOR run won't be on for a while guys. It will take a bit of planning and I'm sure Daz isn't up to it yet.

I'm in. When you thinking? Mid July-ish? And roughly what area?

Yeh they are pretty nice roads through there and they are all 80 and 100kph, couple of windy sections so it wont be all speed. Ill get a map up soon of where we will go and try find a place where we can go for lunch or something, not much left up there after the fires but ill try my best to find something. Might evan make it the 19th the sunday cause that might be a free day for more of us. so spread the word and lets try get as many as we can!!

On the way home from Kinglake is my favourite road, it runs down into Healesville. Myers-Creek rd i think they call it, they even did a write up on this road in Wheels or Motor, (one of them) a couple of years back. Really awesome road, very smooth, fast bits, tight corners, good camber. Hard on brakes!
Perhaps you could end the cruise with it?

Alright guys, the cruze will be as follows,
1.We will start at doncaster, ill confirm a place when i have numbers so i can pik a car park that will suit the size of our group,
2. Head up through Donvale, and out the back of Warrandyte,
3.Up too St Andrews
4. And follow all the way up too kinglake,(maybe some sight seein for a bit for thoses who have not seen the bushfires)
5.Then we are goin to head south through castella,toolangi,chum creek and to myres creek rd which adhar told me about, witch is sposed to be really good driving,
6.Then to tarrawarra and to Yarra Glen where i thought we could stop off for lunch,
7. After lunch we will head through christmas hills and watsons creek,
8. And to finsh (still to be confirmed) maybe a pub in warrandyte or doncaster.
Start time i was thinkin about 11ish.
Cruise should take about 2 30mins of driving and how ever long we make or stops.
Ill put a map up soon when i figure out how to do it.
