Titanium Minx

I've seen quite a few drivers here, but I've never actually talked to anybody, save for the person who told me to join up here. But I'd like to come and get to meet some other 8-owners.
TR to Princes Highway has my two cents. I'll be there with my titanium and I'll be leaving around 6:20. More details~

playa78

Sounds like a well organised cruise! Well done Pricer01!!

The radios will be invaluable. Just make sure 8 is not "reserved" for the emergency channel or anything - I'm not sure.

Have fun tomorrow guys!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hey this sounds better

I got a good soccer injury from training, I got carried away stepping past defenders that i stepped past the boundary of my muscle Im a bit limpy limpy but its on the accelerator leg so thats a good thing for double demerits.

Hope its a good day so i get a chance to wash my car in the morning

If all my servers have a good day today and tomorrow i will be very fresh and ready for the drive if not i will be grumpy so no one talk to me Just kidding.

Silver RX8 number plates start with RXX-

Guys would this do

Uniden UH-040XR Pocket Communicator
Keep in touch with this new pocket sized UHF Family communicator. It's crisp, clear transmissions and 40 UHF channels provide up to 3km outdoor line of sight range, with no airtime costs or user license required.

pricer01

Its in the range "pardon the pun" but like all of these small units, the 3km claim is a bit rich.

I think supercheap autos have some well priced models too.

I have the 2 watt version of the one Choppy posted. Better range for when the cruise convoy is a few k's long. And that doesn't take much to happen

rx-evolv

see you all there....

Choppy
