Ok. Whilst everyone is still enthused, we should start planning the next one! ;)

We deferred a run through Fernshaw because of worries about snow etc.
That was starting at Healsville, and finishing at Maroondah Reservoir. Only about 1:13 according to Google Maps.
Totally different suggestions are welcome too.

We also need a date. Today was 08-08-10, and 10-10-10 has a nice ring to it, and is also a Sunday.
How would that suit everyone?

Love that trip Ric! :good:

Only one problem... And some on here might think it's a load of crap, but Bathurst (V8's) is on that day... My world stops for that race. :D

Cheers

I would definitely go, but only 2 months to get so many of my mods done in time :cry:
Maybe if I sell one of my kidneys off I might be able to speed things up a bit...

Everything is up for discussion, including the date.
Mention was made of having a bbq on Donna Buang. The problem with having lunch mid run is you're going to strike traffic by then.

It's also a pretty short run, so may need to be extended up to Msrysville, back through Reefton etc.

Thumbs up for Reefton. Provided we don't run in to that idiot in the old Hilux again like we did today. Wouldn't let us pass and he was doing 125 at one point.

I'm definately in

I've got a nice clunking noise from the back of my car after yesterday, so i'll investigate that, and if something is broken, then its upgrade time

That route sounds great it will be a full day one for sure.

I am free every weekend in October so am happy to swap dates if Steve wants to sit at home and drink stubbies that weekend ;)

Ok, I am in.

Steve, you have got an iphone. You can have the best of the virtual world and the real world, on the same day !!! Also an opportunity to pay me back for "sharing" the road with you! :D

Must admit though, did not know 10/10 was Bathurst, otherwise would not have suggested it. But then this new technology stuff, I can just set the TIVO to Record and watch it when I get home!

Aw c'mon, you can't watch 12 hours of V8's when you get back after a cruise like the one proposed... :D

I don't wanna miss the cruise so I'd like to propose to move it to the weekend of 16/17 Oct. (I wanna do both!)

And teK - stubbies, snags, few mates, nice weather, talking about cars and watchin the V8's... What more could I want?? :D
