[CMF_tris]

thats a fair hike!! hah

 

[CMF_crumpets]

Dont know if I could handle such a long cruise but id be up for at least some of it

 

[CMF_ev-march-rolling-shell]

something like that seems cool, wonder if there is something like that in the QLD/northern NSW....

 

[CMF_daily_ricer]

That's a decent route set up there, probably about the limit to what I'd drive before I'd want to leave early if it was any longer. There needs to be more of this I recon, especially in Adelaide. littlebear, where have you been these last month or so?

The longest one I've been on was with my old LX with some bogun Commodore forum. It ended up running close to 30 cars from about 730pm till 2 or 3am and over 500km. So lame, despite all their planning keeping it secret and not letting the route get published until the start point and by handing out the next stage only once everyone had gatthered at the next meeting point. I think the funniest thing about it was seeing them get defected by the cops one by one through out the night lol.

 

[smidge]

yeah little hatches don't attract quite so much attention... plus if your car is easily defected its a piece of **** or you are lazy...

242km isn't that far for a cruise i don't reckon, for a day out anyway

you guys need to get ya cars set up nice and go and drive them in the hills a little!

 

[CMF_Yom]

i wont be there.

sorry.

i have a good excuse though.

 

[smidge]

what? you don't have a micra?

i've seen the pics of where you took your car mate so grow some balls and drive a thousand K's

 

[CMF_tris]

HAHAHAH tell him what you realy think!

 

[CMF_Yom]

id trust my micra long distance more than id trust the golf.

or your car doesn't meet the bull**** road rules.. ie, making it safer, stop faster etc.

 

[smidge]

if they defect me for my suspension i'll just ask if i can borrow theirs and retro-fit

 

[CMF_Geoff W]

[CMF_Geoff W]

Good stuff mate. Just waiting on confirmation that my mate can come and share the driving with me, and I'm a goer.
Gonna have to leave early cause drivin from newcastle in the morning. Should be sweet though... cool morning air + turbo car = fun city.

 

[CMF_Geoff W]

Here's the new link for anyone else interested.

http://www.konarzewski.com.au/Suzuki/Hot_Hatch_Cruise.html

Is there anyone else going? my co driver has a wedding to go to so would love to see another micra along for the ride.

 

[CMF_Geoff W]

Ahh I see smidge is listed on the attendance records... That'll do me. I'm pretty much guaranteed to be going in that case.

 

[smidge]

yeah cool i'm in! see ya there Geoff!

 

[CMF_fred]

pix and vids boys....

 

[CMF_Geoff W]

Please take note the meeting point in Homebush has been abandoned because of road closures on that particular day.

The new Meeting options are
1) Parramatta Pool Carpark - Next to Parramatta Stadium and the Leagues Club
2) Information Centre opposite Richmond Air Force Base.

Smidge... I'll be meeting at the Parramatta Pools meeting spot.

PS I'll have a camera with me but something tells me Smidge will have a fairly decent video camera with him.

 

[smidge]

Not sure I can get good shots and drive ! Moogs in hong kong filming stuff or I'd put him on duty... See how I go

 

[CMF_Konazz]

Hello everyone...

I am the website owner, and a mod a SwiftSport.net

Looks like we've caught your attention.

The reason the cruise is long... I wanted a cruise up Bells Line of Road, but didn't want to double back anywhere. Therefore the only way back home would be to go ALLLLL the way up to Mt Victoria and swing back onto the Great Western Highway.... hence 240kms round trip. At least its not the same route?

Good to see some of you guys are coming!!!

The website is for all info is:
http://www.konarzewski.com.au/Suzuki/Hot_Hatch_Cruise.html

and the attendee register is at:
http://www.editgrid.com/user/mckonazz/November_Cruise

Hopefully I'll see a few of you guys there... I promise we'll go slow so you can keep up

Hopefully me video camera mount, for my roof racks will be working by Saturday!!!

 

[smidge]

so far the two confirmed micra's coming are both turbo'd so we should be okay in that department

 

[CMF_Konazz]

Just messing! I think it'll be our little N/A blocks that'll have trouble keeping up

 

[smidge]

Tomorrow people! c'mon!

 

[CMF_Konazz]

[CMF_Konazz]

Awesome video mate... nice one!

 

[CMF_Konazz]

***hey smidge... where'd you get that camera mount again?

 

[CMF_fred]

love that road... looked like fun

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

cool vid smidge

 

[smidge]

the cool vid is yet to come (involves a certain blue turbo'd micra...)

 

[CMF_Geoff W]

Hmmm I wonder who that could be?

Was a great day, and still cant get over how little fuel I used. $10 worth of BP ultimate after 150km up the freeway. I was stoked.

$10 thats good and its even turbo!!

 

[CMF_Konazz]

Blue Micras are over-rated

*Hey i'm trying to find that camera mount... there's some on ebay... what was the US site you got yours from, as I don't trust ebay quality!*
