Thanks to MISSXR and the other organisers, it was GREAT and a big THANKS to all that attended.

Although the weather was not perfect, we had a great feed and lots of fun.

Seeing 20+ XR's doing laps around the mountain was a sight to behold.

We had sleet driving back and the outside temp read 1c

A pic of some of the cars all lined up.

there are photos here now, have a look Bathurst Cruise Gallery

A BIG thank you to JB and Antionette, was very well planned and a great turn out as usual.

This being my 4th cruise, it was great to see some new faces amongst the familiar ones

To say it was horrible weather would be an understatement, next time I wont wash my car before the cruise, was certain to bring rain.

Didn't get a chance to say farewell to many of you properly, apologies for that...you guys were giving the monaro so much grief, we had to leave early :lol:

On a serious note, I know James (the monaro) really enjoyed the day and I even managed to get him to sign up on here so he can view the pics etc. his nick is 'monaro'.

Many of the pics I uploaded in the gallery were possible due to CITRIC and MRS CITRIC (Damo and Georgie) - thanks to you guys for taking them on my behalf

Special thanks to Antoinette for organising another great cruise. She made a great effort carting along all bbq and all the food that went with it And then anotyher great effort finding somewhere to have the bbq Three cheers for the chefs who braved the blizzard

Great to do a few sedate laps of Mt Panorama especially on Sunday morning when the track had dried Gives you another reason to admire the great skill of the racerse specially in the wet Those walls over the top of the mountain

Good to meet Julians mate and leave another town with a good relationship with the constabulary :o

And a great drive home with Jeff

Now wheres the next one ???

Yeah, great cruise even given the weather. Car went like a rocket, cold weather must have added 2lb boost to an already leathal weapon. Lots of cut outs under full load (eh, Jeff :cartman: ) but major fun.

Like to do it again but in the dry and before winter ends

All,

A big thanks to the organisers and also a thanks to all who attended for tolerating the lion that didn't belong :freaks:

I had an excellent time and am well in awe of all your cars. To be honest, I came home and spent a good hour or so researching supercharger kits for the LS1 :cartman:

For those who were concerned, I infact didn't need to top up the oil during the cruise. I did however burn over 60 litres of optimax. Thanks Holden, love that fuel economy.
