  1. I may! The car does need some work though. Depending if I can get it back up to scratch depends whether I can join. Glad to see you booked a cabin, the recliners are horrible! I will never do that again. The bright side is I wouldn't have too
  2. oh wow! That was 5 years ago, what a blast from the past! It makes me want to drive those roads again.
  3. Hey Evil! Can you put me down as a maybe? I'll see if I can get some time off work. If that can happen, I can get the ball rolling on organising my way up there.
  4. Spewing! That's no good! I did notice you wasnt there.
  5. Are you running your XR this weekend at tassie nats Michael?
  6. Haha! I hear you there! I'm hoping to go to both if I can afford the petrol to get there! What do you think your XR will do?
  7. Hey guys, been a bit quiet lately. Is anyone going to tassie nats and/or the v8's this year?
  8. Hi Ben! Glad to see you on the forum! Sounds like a nice car! I have a soft spot for the FG's. You'll have to post up some pictures. Cheers
  9. Hey Chris, I don't think that is me! I sure am glad theres another one around with good taste having a blue coon! lol Haha Panda, that could be a posibility! Who knows!?
  10. Cheers Tilvo! I think aiming for four a year would be great! Maybe a Easter cruise and/or Travel up to the v8's in March would be a go? I am more than happy to put time into organising cruises. It just makes it all that more worth while when people come along and enjoy each others company and cars. I am still stumped as to what has happened to all the guys that organised the cruise back in May?
  11. Hi Guys! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years and ready to rip up 2012! Tassie’s thread looks a bit sad at the moment. I am keen to get it more active, but I will need help with this. I am wondering how many people are still active and would be keen to participate in some events in 2012? Let me know what you guys think, and feel free to suggest any events and cruises! Cheers!
  12. Amazing pictures humms! Thank you! A speacial thanks to EvilDaifu for helping me with the organisation of the cruise. It was a great day and can't wait for the next one. Thank you to humms & turbochooka for making the day as great as it was and also those who let me know they couldn't make it, I hope to see you guys there next time!
  13. Tomorrow is the day! Weather is looking good so far, partly cloudy with some winds. Lets hope it does't rain.
  14. Thank you Evil! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
  15. The font isn't that when you're on a pc. Damn iPhones can't pick up the right font. I was spewing when I found it like that on my iPhone.
  16. Ship your car down Evil, we would love to have you come along with us. One week to go fellas!
  17. Thanks Tilvo. That's all good. I'll add you to the maybe list. Keep us updated if you can join us.

  19. South Cruise 2011 DATE: 27 December 2011 (Photo taken at Dunalley) DESCRIPTON: Sadly humms will be leaving us in the New Year. Being this he would like to enjoy some of our brilliant Tassie Roads in his XR6 Turbo ute before he goes. (I couldn't turn down the opportunity for a cruise) Let's hope we have that small chance in Tassie to have some good weather to make it all that much better! As XR6 Turbo's seem to be a rare thing here, if you have friends with XR6's or XR8's who would like to join, they're more than welcome. (Please let me know if this is the case) Please come along, have a great time, enjoy our cars & meet other XR6 Turbo enthusiasts! MEET: At the end of Pedder Street, New Norfolk (New Norfolk Pool). Departure at 9am. The car park should be able to accommodate us all, and this would be a great spot for some piccies next to the river. Please note that at the end of the road is gravel. If you have any concerns, please let me know. ROUTE: Today I was lucky enough to have awesome weather on a weekend, so I decided to take the Turbo out for a spin down the Peninsula. BRILLIANT! It was amazing coming up over a hills and all you can see is the beaches. 481km approx 6.5 hours BRING: Sufficient fuel in your tank. CB Radio (Santa maybe bringing me a set for Christmas so I may have a spare) Camera FUEL: 98 RON can be found at the following; (I am sure there are others but these are the ones I can think of at the moment.) Shell New Norfolk Caltex New Norfolk United Bridgewater Shell Brighton BP Brighton BP Sorell Shell Sorell Shell Dunalley RULES: 1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc... 2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members. 3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost. 4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter. 5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time. 6. Onus is on the owner/driver to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws. 7. Please ensure you have a contingency plan if you have a breakdown or unnecessarily delayed. e.g. Roadside Assistance or a mate in another car who is willing to stay with you if necessary. 8. If you wish to post this cruise up on any other social media site e.g. facebook, myspace, twitter - please obtain permission from the Cruise Controller/Mod organising the cruise first. 9.

  20. Ofcourse reaper! Standard XR6's & XR8's are more than welcome.
  21. Thank you Evil. I have a friend who spends a lot of time on the peninsula and I've been chatting to her about the roads, good spots for photos, 98 RON availability etc. I have also done the cygnet route a couple of times. It's just up to these guys to decide.
  22. 2 weeks to go guys! Need to figure out some roads very soon so I can organise everything else. that's okay turbochooka, keep me posted.
  23. Hi Guys, So this is what I was thinking; Option 1 (Approx 6.5 Hours & 460ks) I am currently looking at how easy it is to access 98 RON on the peninsula, and I was thinking we could stop for lunch at Richmond. (Also a great spot for some photos) Option 2 (Approx 6 Hours & 390ks) I am also not to sure on Molesworth Road. It is a very tight road but with some tight twisties, but its easy enough to miss that road. Option 3 (Approx 6.5 Hours & 425km) I may have to look into how easy it would be to get access to 98 RON here too. Micheal, it would be great if you could get some more Turbos to come along! Keep me posted on the progress. If anyone has ANY thoughts or suggestions on roads, please post them up!
  24. Awesome Michael. I have been looking at some roads. I will post up some options soon, so keep an eye out for them. Let me know if you can find anyone else who would be keen!
  25. Wow! That is brilliant! I love it! Makes me want to do the whole thing over again. I have some video footage that I have played around with. I might post it up some time. Thanks Evil!
