I just realised that you're the owner of the Violet 2-door LJ. I'd kill to see that baby screaming down the 1/4 mate, sure hope you'll the beast ready for the 18th; best of luck getting it all dynod and tuned up mate.

FARK! 19 odd days to go! Shit, i am having major issues with my shifter and reverse! im stressing out! FARK! O well, my new carb should be coming on the weekend which is good! if i can resolve this shifter prob ill be laughing, ill whack in the new diff and HAHAHAHAHA EVIL SMILE!

I may just put a 3.08 diff in and drive the torry up, the HQ wont be ready in time to trailer it up

I still have to send off the deposit for the room as well... they did ask for a credit card and i dont have one!

OK, How about we start meeting from 7:00am & depart around 8:00am.
This will get us their around 9:00 - 9:30 i guess.
Just need someone with a video camera to go ahead onto say the new Thomastown section a few minutes before us, i unfortunately do not have a video, any offers?

I like the idea of meeting at Kmart .... I'd take the video, but I don't have a digital Video cam...if anyone can make a copy to go onto CD from a Hi8, I'll do it. No wuckers.

So lets get an idea of those wishing to meet at Kmart (cnr. Mahoney's Rd and Sydney Rd, (Hume Hwy)) at say 7:00am for a 8:00am departure and the early birds can chew the fat.
A convoy of Torrys is always a good thing. 10-4, come back rubber ducky....

It's not a doctors appointment, dont panic, only need to be their when we leave. hopefully all together & any straglers can jump on the back as they catch up.
The good thing about travelling together, is if someone has problems, their will be plenty of help, i'm sure.

[LX2DR]

I haven't been on a cruise with other Toranas for ages.

If i can get up early enough i will be up for that. I can't afford to stay anywhere

Steve

I'll be driving back Sat, maybe we can cruise back as well?

[knoath]

If we need to leave by 8:00, then aim for no later than 7:30.... just in case, then if there's a problem, there's plenty of time to sort it out.
You always end up having a friendly chin wag anyway.

Looking forward to a cruise and a drag day!
C'mon folks, who's in?

[Stedz_lc]

Damn...Ill be at the back of the pack to watch! My car will be on the trailer! But might try to meet up anyway!

coupe202 - how is your progress coming along mate? Would be totally unreal to see your car race, really hope you make it. Have you changed your combo since last time you raced it? What's your P.B. to date??

PS. I probably won't make it to the official cruise there - I always drive out the back way through Yarra Glen, Yea, Seymour etc. Love the drive, it's awesome, and it's the only way I actually know off the top of my head. If my car does make it (fingers crossed), I would also prefer to drive this way as it will be a very fresh engine still, don't want to just sit on the Hume at constant speed for all that time. If I go my way, I'll be able to vary revs more through corners etc. Will see what happens....

Spoke to my engine builder yesterday, bottom end is finished and back together. The rest is very close too. We're both crossing our fingers to have it finished by the weekend. I want to pick it up Sat morning, will start praying to engine gods now....

[MRLXSS]

Hmm ill prob go up the way brett is talking about as well now i think about it, much easier and faster for me.... maybe we might just head up together, me brett and rene lol


Im praying i get my issues sorted out this weekend, if not ill need rescueing from someone on here to hlpe me out!

[Guns n roses]

whats your problems matt??besides a carby for a worked 308 on your 253

[knoath]

So where do you join the Highway LXCHEV? Is it somewhere near Kilmore? If so, we could all meet there and cruise from Kilmore to Heathcote........
just a thought..

That could be a goer. What time you planning on crusing back on sat nite? I have a friends engagement party on that nite at 7pm back in Melbourne, so i plan to be back for that.

Steve

The day ends at 4:00, so should be on the road by 4:30 i suppose, back in Melb by about 6:00. Dont see a problem with your 7:00 party.

[LX2DR]

What part of Melbourne are you in SPJ? I am way out past Dandy in the SE Suburbs

Steve

Greensborough, 5 min's from the start of the Ring rd.

Hey everyone.. Just home from overseas... Ive now gotto check out the finances! Get a tow kit installed on teh fraud... and get organised to come down! ( Get my diff ratio changed and hopefully puyt the demon carb on! see how it all goes!)

I think a cruise is a top idea.. i'm staying in town that night so wont be able to attend the cruise, but thats no big deal It'll be great to see everyone there!

I'll check the confirmations theread, and my spreadsheet and post up a list of eveyone confirmed shortly... Time to start inviting mates too! Lets get our friends out to have some fun and race against some torries!

Sounds like everyone is having the normal thrash to get their cars ready! Brett: How's it coming along mate?

Cheers everyone!

Tiny.
