Thanks auzoom for the website. It is a great site.
I have made the maps for the cruise and printed them out (it is very cruisy today at the office). So don't worry about making the map Andrew, I got it covered.
Anything need to bring for the lunch ILIV48 besides salad for me? Drinks?

Guys we are meeting at 930 so I won't be late. My wife will ditch us for a physio course again (hard working woman
) I have to drive her to East Melbourne at 830. I will be there around 915![/QUOTE]
Hey Taka,
Do you want to stop by my place in East Melbourne when you drop your wife off so my wife & I can follow you to McDonalds...?

I will be bringing BBQ sausages, Chicken Fillets, steak, Bacon and some rolls. If anyone has a taste for some other type of meat then I suggest you bring some along.

Taka I am glad you are having a cruisy type of day. My week has been horrible and it's only going to get worse.
Cheers

Well let get our fingers crossed...
According the Bureau of Meterology:
At Healsville, the average number of clear day is 3.4 days, cloudy 15.2 days and rainy 14.0 days = 34.6 days in total.
j/k
In fact it is raining less than 1/2 chance in the foresty area = pretty good in May.
Plus it is pretty dry this month. This pattern will expect to continue until late May when it gets cold. Expect the winter does not come until mid June this year (all from BOM on the radio this p.m.).

Pity I missed the Doncaster mini-meet last week. Work kept me away! Sounds like you had fun.
My g/f is off to Europe on 13th May, so I'm up for it on the 15th...
I can bring some food - for any fellow vegetarians. Tofu burger, anyone?

Tell him to put in the express post! hehe :D
Could you order 4 x RX-8 brake caliper stencils for me? Thanks you very much.
I do have a spare WHITE club logo that I don't need.

They are available for US$7 including postage to Australia - took about a week to get here...
Of course, I had to place another signficant sticker on the other side of the car lest I upset the delicate 50:50 balance of this high performance car.. :D

I am thinking of painting it red with white letters. Hence black stencils. Thanks
I will be using PoLak method. Paint over a small area with white. Stick the stencil on. Paint it red. Let it dry and peel off.

Cruise Weather Update.
From BOM
Wednesday
Early shower or two. Min 11 Max 17
Trend for Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Mostly fine and mild.
The cool change comes probably Wed pm to night. It is unlikely at this stage that the next cool change will come before Sunday pm. So we are looking good. In my experience of bike riding and getting my dry bike ride. The cold front will become wider apart in autumn (> 4 days and mostly weak). The rain mostly come from troughs ... I don't understand that. But I don't see this wintery pattern yet.
I expect Sunday morning will be VERY COLD and sunny.... I am sure I will take my word back on the day.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
I am quietly confident that we will have a good day.
