Hey everyone,
Just thought l'd let you know that there are afew members on the rx8club.com.au site proposing to have abit of a cruise (link). I've suggested the following:

Path plotted on google maps (Link)




This is a great run and l've down it a handful of times with a friend (owns a modified VRX magna, might actually come along). There are plently of spots to take photos too. Actually, my signature is from one of the runs.

DETAILS:

Meeting Place: Bunnings in Rockdale
Meeting Time: 11:00 AM on the 16th Aug 09

List so far:

1. Me (2_SeeK_U)
2. 1.3bean
3. stevo
4. rx8u
5. tiptoe
6. ct031
7. avo01d
8. Netfader
9. RX87OY

Other cars are also welcome. We have some WRX's/Supra's and what not coming along...

Sounds good.

Keep us posted in this thread too re: dates, etc.

I'd give it a few weeks after the nats though if you want to improve your numbers.

Yeah, it's been mentioned about holding it back after the Nats, maybe to the 30th August. Thats over fortnight after? Would depend on the interest generated for the people willing to join if we were to push it back to the 30th.


Here's the list so far from the AU site:
  1. Me (2SeeKU)
  2. 1.3bean
  3. stevo
  4. rx8u
  5. tiptoe
  6. ct031

Meeting time so far is 11am, leaves plenty of time for the drive back into wollongong for lunch.

Also, since your going to the nationals, you could spread the word, drum up some interest

Haha, it's hard enough getting people to the Nationals...but I'll spread the word. Most though will have seen your thread and, being Sydneysiders, have already decided that they're washing their hair that day or have to work or their girlfriend won't let them or they're vacuuming the cat, ad infinitum...

Just kidding...I'm sure you'll get some people along. Just give people plenty of notice of the date because important Sydney people get booked up...

Sorry to hear Greenvy! No doubt we will do another soon.

Anyway, looks like it will be a great day today!

Sorry for the lack of contact this past week, work sent me to Rockhampton for the week

Look forward to meeting everyone.

Please try to give some more notice next time.

I was away so couldn't come along but in my experience of organising these things a month is needed for most people to be available.

Hope you had a good day out...

Yeah, they're definitely will be a next time.

The day was good. Unfortunately the great weather had a two pronged effect. While it was perfect for a cruise, everyone else apparently thought so. There was alot of traffic through sydney, even in the natio park.

Still good to see other RX8's and put faces to forum names.
