SA would like to extend a warm welcome to Ken and Lea on coming to Adelaide

The possibilities are numberous for a get-together..

What are ppls suggestions..??

The most likelyhood of a get-together would be either a Saturday or Sunday..

A number of suggestions have already been posted ...(in SA Chit chat)

Lets see what we can come up with

I'm happy to do anything that doesn't involve Craft Shops ...

Cain, take your (adopted) mother to the Craft Shops will you? If you happen to leave her there, all the better ....

We are really looking forward to this trip, for a number of reasons. Only 23 sleeps to go!!!

Already have SatNav set for grasshopper's place, just waiting to hit the "Go" button.

I'm up for a cruise and/or get-together on any day that weekend including Friday and Monday public holidays.

But none of this 7am stuff that I heard rumoured!

Where is your sense of adventure :lol: :lol:

God help all of you!! :lol:

If you can possibly bear him, keep him for ever or as long as you can

You'd miss me ...

I could always do an all-nighter!

Hey Ken, this link might come in handy for planning your time in Adelaide! :lol:

i didnt know u knew my address......

Mum and i will go craft shopping and we'll have a wonderful time!

As for cruises...ive got the entire weekend off... fri - sat - sun - im cool with whatever!

I'll wave as I fly over (Adelaide) on Wednesday on my way to Perth.

Can't wait for the drive from Sydney to Adelaide. I can hear the SatNav now ... "Continue for 2000 kilometers" ...

get a good look at the Hay Plain from the plane....It is so boring it will send your Sat-Nav to sleep

Only 13 more sleeps to go We are very excited.

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg!!! CANT WAIT!!!!

Dont lie :lol:

I think voy might be looking forward to this!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!! *starts biting finger nails*

... nah ... we've decided we're not coming now ... doesn't seem to be that much interest.

oh well. *sigh*

Only 11 more sleeps to go :w00t:

I think voy has now killed himself!

He will if he can't get his heart rate back down into triple figures ...

IT WAS ONLY A JOKE, GRASSHOPPER .... WE'RE COMING, WE'RE COMING!!!

Boy, some people ...

Thinking its time to come up with a cruise...

Attendee List:

KEN 24T + SWMBO.

yep

Id second that

yep

Eight more sleeps to go........

Not that you're counting!

How about the cruise to Cape Jervois that keeps getting talked about?

sounds good

Only 5 more sleeps till we leave

Ken + Lea,

I'll see you on the freeway. My wife and I are also on our way 25th and back 29th. She has a full programme for us , seeing about every winery possible. Have a great time.

Matt

Sorry boys and girls but my auto lek is taking annual leave for 2 weeks starting the wednesday night..

This means i'm stuck doing both mechanical and auto lek breakdowns ,so no cruises or outtings for me

You mean this bloke really exists?

Ken or Lee??????????Sorry guys can't come either......dreaded in laws are here from interstate for Easter.They can't live forever

I don't think so ... this whole KEN 24T thing was (in my opinion) just a forum fabrication designed initially to provoke discussion and interest.

If you ask me, it's out-lived it's (legendary) usefulness.

No worries mate, we understand.

If you need some help encouraging them to leave early, just send us your address and I'll come over for a quick .... visit.

Would the Mother-In-Law mind if I sat real close and enquired as to the fabric and colour of her delightful under-garments?

LMAO She'd probably love it.........a real goer in her day I'm told. Unfortunately for you Ken she still has all her own teeth

I think Ken is just Cain's imaginary friend!

I think it's time to try and get the ball rolling with this. My suggestion is meet at Castle Plaza at about 3pm, cruise all the way down South Road to Cape Jervois. Then after we've stopped there for a while, we can decide what way we want to come back, maybe via Victor Harbor. But I don't know my way around down that way.

What we need is a day. My suggestion would be Saturday or Sunday. Who's in, who's out? Do you all like this idea, do you want to change this plan, etc., etc.

Only a few more days until Kenny and Lea are here!

normally I would say a big yes but Im going to be fishing for the next 6 days

... only a couple of hours til we fire up Preciousss and start our journey to Adelaide ...

Have a new set of tyres, in-car bluetooth, in-car CB, and SatNav. Cleaning products in esky packed in boot. She wants to put some bags (or something ) in the boot as well ...

We're soooooo looking forward to this .... just can't wait.

Would like to have caught up with Kenny, the site legend, and the lass that tames him (SWMBO) , but am travelling to Melbourne for the Easter break.

Happy Easter to all, and drive safely......
There's a lot of interstate tourists who all drive like Kenny, making it hard to overtake safely ..... :)

OK, Easter Saturday 26 April, Meet at 3:00 pm for a 3:30 departure. Meet in the car park near Hungry Jacks. This is on South Road, Edwardstown about 1.5km south of Cross Road.

Cruise all the way down South Road to Cape Jervois. Then wherever we feel like at the time.

Unless I hear otherwise, I'll be there at Castle Plaza at 3pm on Saturday.

Well done mate.

Just got a phone call from voy. Apparently Ken and Lea are running late and will be a no show for today's cruise.

Is anyone even going on this cruise

I went there in case anyone turned up, but it looks like I was the only one.

Ouch Glenn .Very lonely and disappointing job but at least you made the effort.Apologies(notification of inability to attend )should be posted by all members if they can't make it.Its perhaps too easy to think that every one else is going and one less won't matter.Nevertheless Easter is a very busy time of the year and people are all over the place.
I believe cruise control will be adopting some new strategies to arrange successful outings so that the Ford Turbo faithful in SA continue to get together and enjoy each others company and vehicles.
We've had some great cruises in the past despite the ups and downs of the moods and trends on the forum.I can't remember a cruise I didn't enjoy.
Looking foward to hearing from Lee.

Well ... what an excellent trip that was.

I didn't realise that SA had so much to offer. It's almost as pretty as Tassie, and that's saying something.

I'd like to thank Cain and Kate for putting up with us and showing us such a warm and friendly welcome. I think one of the highlights was crawling into bed with a still sleeping Cain early one morning ..

Kate is a crack-up and I can't think of a better room-mate for Cain.

We spent a couple of days on Cain's parents farm and apart fromt he 20k of dirt there and back, it was a hoot. Appologies to Cain's dad for drinking all his red wine ... hey! he offered.

Another highlight happened on the farm. Long story short ... imagine a fellow forum member, up on a chair, squealing like a school girl because of a rather small, harmless spider ... no names, but the aforementioned member was a local. Just wish I'd taken a pic.

Our stay in Adelaide was way too short and although we made several trips up into the hills, the Barossa, Hahndorf (for Struuudel), Cape Jarvis, etc., we just didn't have enough time.

We'll definately be going back. In fact, I'd love to organise a cruise, possibly next year. I can just imagine 10, 15, 20 turbos all cruising around the Adelaide hills.

... so bring on Tassie, eh?


Oh, and I've attached a vid of SWMBO driving the harvester on the farm. What you don't see is the path of destruction she created through the chook house, the guest house and the out house.

Damn it! Won't attach ... oh well, I try it again later.

Ken, I'd love to say it was a pleasure meeting you, but I'm trying to keep my new years resolution of saying what I really think, so ummm... It was great meeting SWMBO!

Seriously though, it was great meeting you two. Life is just so... different... now. Yeah, different, that's the word I'm looking for. By the way, you should receive the bill from my shrink any day now.

Umm, as I can't think of anything else to say, I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Oh, hi everyone else, I'm Kate, Cain's (aka Voy74656) house mate.
