Just curious about what people want in a cruise...Was the mannum cruise ok ie the types of road, duration of cruise, km involved, number of stops etc......ANY suggestions for the next cruise? OR should just make things up as we go along?
Mr X
Stops, duration, km,road types all ok with me,a little bit of everything is good.As for the next cruise; time for think music ,maybe we all have a favourite piece of road mine is Kangarilla to Meadows to Ashbourne to Strathalbyn good surfaces flowing corners and none of Boosty,s 2 wheeled mates. blink.gif

The Mannum cruise was excellent. We've had a cruise down south and one out east, so I reckon it might be time for one up north. Say, the Barossa via the Hills???

Barossa !!!!!!!

Good idea and there is a great winery at angaston ( I think it is yalumba) with the most spectacular colonial/english style garden which would make for some fantastic pics.

and a great spot to stop for a wee tasting. spit.gif

What i like in a cruise is going through the hills on less known roads where there are less idiots like the b**ch in her Charade or whatever it was.

Not using turnout lanes, slowing DOWN during the turnout lanes and then driving in the middle of two lanes so I couldn't get past! I was using the old JP Montoya tactic of filling her mirrors, lights on, having a look at the inside of her on some bends, you know trying to force her into an error! Felt like Coulthard at Monaco a few years back when he couldn't get past a slower Arrows for 50 odd laps!

Highway cruises are ok i suppose but I like going through corners at this stage as the car is still new to me and I want to find its limits. It is such a huge step up from the EF Ghia!

Last one was good. Pity, where ever I go there is an oinker in the bushes!!! Got the ute back now, the trans is excellent.
I always like the country runs - a few more traffic lights for racing wouldn't go astray though!!!

From Batten performance tuning.

They are developing the Reflash unit for the Turbo. No need to piggy back the ECU just plug in and tune to your hearts content
go here 4 a look http://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/pr03.htm

Maybe one of us could buy the handheld unit and we could share it round? That is if it works well.

Let me know when you get one.Looks like to much hokus pokus to me...

I'm interested in the reflash unit too. Buying one we can share around sounds like a great idea.
