Hello RX8Club Members ,

I am very happy to announce, the next NSW Rx8 cruise will be on the 21/6/08 . Following a very successful cruise I recently organised back in April this year thru to Palm Beach (you can view pictures of this great day here https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=141788). And now on with the show hehe, part two of the RX8 Cruises 2008, here we go :ysuper: ....

I organised a similar cruise a couple years back, with the only difference that the end destination will be Kiama and not Wollongong(as we went there not that long ago, on Revolvers cruise)...Like all other cruises I organise, I will be sending PM's in the next coming days/coming week, to all NSW members and Canberrians, to come along for the ride and have a great day. As the cruise will be a little closer for our Canberrian counterparts, to attend also ...

This will be a cruise not to be missed, as it will be an awsum day for both u and your RX8 ....Woronora Dam is a great place to start the day, not only is the drive great but the scenary is also excellent . Woronora Dam will be a great place for us to take some photo's/check out mods and have a mini pitstop... There are also a number of different areas at this location, that would accomodate our club and cars adequately and also for our photoshoots too.

Upon Departure from Woronora Dam, we would then cruise down the Princes Highway thru to Kiama. This will insure, the RX8s stay together pretty much the whole way down to Kiama, and give other commuters quite a site, as we always do hehe ...

We will then arrive at Kiama's famous attraction the Blowhole, where we will relax and have some refreshments along with lunch and as always a freindly chat, b4 returning to our home's Sydney/Canberra etc. Food and drinks would need to be purchased pre-hand, which im sure we can arrange prior to this event. Or alternatively, there is a fish n chip shop a rock throw away(yes i like my fish n chips lol) too...Photo's will also be taken throughout the day which I will post, but please bring your cameras and video camera's along too, because theres never enough photo's taken :ysuper: ....Also as per past cruises I will once again try an obtain our resident photgraphers attendances too, and fingers cross they can make this one, but dont 4get the cameras just in case...

NSW RX8 CRUISE 21/6/08

- Caltex Servo Princes Highway,Heathcote 10:45am(sharp), for meet and greet

Departure from Meet-up point(Caltex Servo opposite the Shell servo)

Departure from Kiama
- Head back to Sydney in the RX8 convoy before dark.

DIRECTIONS
- Upon exit of the Heathcote Catlex(located same side as heathcote train station, just past the station), we will travel along Princes Highway.

- Just passing Waterfall train station, we will take the turn off to the right onto the Old Princes Highway. So you will need to be in your right lane, when passing Waterfall station, otherwise you will miss the turnoff. Turnoff is approx about 500m on the right, passed Waterfall station.

- We will follow the Old princes highway and the Woronora Dam signs, up to the entrance of the Dam(on right side too). Carparks are at the very end of this street, so follow it till the end.

- Upon exit out of the W-Dam, we will take a right and follow the Old Princes Highway until the 1st round about. Which we will then turn right, and get back onto the Southern Highway.

- We will follow this road(Southern Highway) all the way to Kiama, and plz note it changes name a few times, but its the same road all the way down (from Southern Highway to Mt Ousley Rd to Southern Highway to Princes Highway to Kiama Bypass).

- We will then take the Kiama turnoff, and follow it to the Kiama Blowhole carpark, where there is a fish and chip shop rite next to the carpark.



Petrol: 1/2 - 3/4 tank will get you thru the day, so please prepare accordingly(hint were meeting at a Petrol Station, unfortunately no group discounts lol).


There are also threads on both Websites, RX8.com forum about this cruise. And my phone number will also be available to those that request it, if you think you mite need to contact me on the day. I will also try and get a map up closer to the date, for all to use or those that request it...

Anyway its going to be a an Awsum day,with plenty of fun for you /your car / and your family so make sure you are there. For the Guys n Girls travelling from Canberra or wollongong for this cruise, U have a few options. U can meet us from the start or u can meet up with us at Woronora Dam or @kiama, choice is yours. The main thing is being there for cruise at some point, obviously from the start would be fantastic but I also understand why it would not be feasible hence why i have given u a few more options....

Please add you name to this thread if you will be attending, so that I can update attendees accordingly.

Hope to see you all there, and bring on the RX8 Cruises for 2008 .

Nikoid

Sweet - I'm looking forward to this one

matt13b

At this stage I will have to work then and so will not be able to make it,bugger. I'll see what I can do about it but at this stage not looking good..

XLR83N

put me down as a yes please :D cant wait

Nikoid

Common Matt, plenty of time to get time off work

matt13b

I know it's just ask for every other weekend off these days with trips away and car stuff etc.. and they are not into it at all.

ZOOMBY

Sure will be nick 8)

Thats a shame Matt, hopefully things mite change a little closer to the cruise, and you mite be able to make it ... I just checked my email too buddy, and sorry I can't organise them on Sundays, bcos it soccer season 4me atm. Although as soon as thats over, Sundays events will be back too 8)... Maybe u could make part of the cruise b4 work eg Woronora Dam part(jus off ur email)?...Anyway Let me us know, if anything changes mate...

will do buddy, and its gonna be awsum 8)

matt13b

Ok put me down.Work will just have to deal with it. It will be worth it..

Nikoid

Yehhhh awesome

I reckon we should have Stickers made up for our cars for the cruise

ZOOMBY

Thats great to hear matt, have added you to the list, glad to have you onboard

thats a good idea Nick , and your welcome to run with it.... Only issues i see with it, is if there is enough demand out there for those coming...And also the cost involved, as I recently enquired about getting a sticker made up, and it was going to cost me around $50.00 if I produced the artwork(and thats for 1 sticker )... But If you know someone in the industry, that will reduce the cost for sure, let me know too hehe...

Revolver

Fab - looking forward to it Waldo!

Come on Sydney people - come along and stretch your car's legs a little...

Nikoid

$50 per sticker, damn i was thinkin more like $10 max! haha. I figured something pretty simple and just text - I'll message a few people that make up stickers and check out what they can do.

ZOOMBY

Good to hear Dave , and it definitely will be one not to miss out on

Yeah stickers can be a lil pricey , well the one i wanted anyway lol.... But yeah could be a good idea, if you can reduce the costs, and enough people want them...Keep up the good work, and let us know how u go as it should be cheaper than $50.00 im sure, cos mine had a little artwork to it(rotary symbol of course )...

Attendees list has also been updated, and i should be sending thru PM's to other members over the next few days... In the mean time keep adding your names to the thread, if you will be attending this NSW RX8 Cruise .

Cheers ,
Waldo - ZOOMBY - ZZOOM

Nikoid

OK I got a quote for stickers:

700mm x 400mm - White colour and something like "RX-8 Cruise to Kiama 2008"
(Just as an example) - about $15 a sticker.

How does that sound?

Nick

AVO01D

Hi There,

I'll deffinately be making an appearance with my RX8 at the cruise, along with a friend of mine who's picking up his RX8 later today. Looking forward to it.

takahashi

If you want to speak to my mechanic who picked up a second hand sticker cutting machine and material.... I can pass on the phone number.

Nikoid

I know someone who can make them up who's based in Canberra - its just the interest factor in getting them made, costs and what to have written etc.

matt13b

Sounds good. $15 is fine..

Miss.Trish

aww unfortunately cant make this - its right in the middle of my uni exams

stupid university education obligations - gets in the way of the more important things in life =(

Nikoid

Any ideas on what to get written?!

Miss Trish - why not just come to the meetup for a few mins rather than the cruise?

Revolver

Ever heard of a study break Trish?

Besides, here's your chance to get even...

Revolver

How about:

"Stickers make my car go faster"

"Stickers - because scratches happen, okay!"

"Stickaboi"

"I love the smell of adhesive in the morning!"

"I'm factory backed"

"Always room for another race sponsor"

"My other car is a Ferrari"

"If this RX8 is rockin'...let me out"

Nikoid

The stickers are supposed to be for the cruise!

Maybe not such a good idea then...

ZOOMBY

Good Work Nick , id be up for it... Id like to think, everyone would be up for it. Although a little tongue and cheek from Dave , suggests what i suspected previously, that maybe not all members would like it...So up to you mate...

Maybe we should talk about it on this cruise, and plan it for the next one....Or if there is enough demand in the lead up to this cruise, it mite turn into a goah(time n posts will tell)...

Hi There ,

Thats great to hear and welcome to the forum , and get ur friend to join on here too ...I will add you both to the list now, and keep an eye on this thread for updates....


Thats a shame, hope ur exams go well... And who knows maybe taking a short break, mite help u study better ...

Revolver

Just jokes boys - don't take it too seriously. I'm not a big sticker fan myself (although I do have a small one in each corner of the rear screen - which is about my limit) but I know plenty of others like them, so if that floats your boat, go for it.
