Melbourne Meet 2008

Didn't realise it's been so long since the last one. We had a few people travel all the way from the western suburbs, so maybe we could try and find a more centralised meeting place this time.

My mate (MacGillaZ) and I have been scoping out a few routes recently and he's come up with a pretty good one, so I might get the details from him, or get him to post them up so can get people's opinions on it.

Either way it'll be good to see everyone's micras once again.

Who's up for it?

---dens

me! :)

i'll be overseas 25th april - 10th may... please please make this meet other than those days ^___^

For you, of course :P We could look into doing the meet in late may if that suits.

Btw, come back one day earlier so you can come to the track day ;)

---dens

i will probably drive up from sydney, depends where it is..

Ahhh, me thinks that a micra run to test my "Totally Awesome" Mega Cruise would be great :D

At last check the total run is over 120k long, but with lots, and I mean lots of exits to end it shorter and still get lots of twisty driving in there, cause seriously, you don't want to be cruising in a straight line with a micra ;)

I'll sort out a digital version of my masterplan, and see what peeps think ....

I'm up for Co-Piloting Dens or even driving one of your rides :P

We'd be up for another run if a date gets set. *note to Dens*. Pm me if something comes up, my main pc is dead so I'm not getting onto forums much atm as useing my old back up pc clunker.

Since we are heading into the darker months it's a bit of a gamble when picking any weekend in the next few months. How does early to mid June sound? Should give people enough time to get off work if they work on weekends and enough time for people to get their cars ready (yeah, including my own.. haha)

We did it on a sunday last time if memory serves - how about 8th of June or 15th of June? Would a saturday suit people better or was sunday the preferred day for a cruise?

For those that missed the last one, here's some pics of last years small meetup:

Here's a quick little map of the Mega Cruise I had in my head :D

Drawing the lines that made up the drive started to annoy me, so I stopped and left it just as the markers ...

Its a fair bit of driving, but as you can see, there are lots of exits if peeps want/need to leave earlier, and if we're getting bored still find an interesting way home :D

Ok made the event thing so people can put their name down now. Since it's sort of the middle of winter we'll have to take things as it comes on the day - depending on the weather we could do a BBQ or something.

So yeah, let others know :)

---dens

Gah, need more people attending methinks! Where's all the melbournian micra people!? :P

---dens

Hmm what's it like having having a fellow Micra enthusiast in the same city? :(

At least you've got three of your own micras to keep you company, haha :P Pick one and drive over here for it!

---dens

In an effort to get as many melbournian micra owners to attend, I've sent some PM's to those who registered interest last time but haven't really been seen or heard from since :)

Come on people, get into it!

Maybe a BBQ might be in order for this one.. thoughts?

---dens

Remember guys - it's this coming sunday :) There's at least all day saturday to get the cars nice and shiny!

Hope to see you all there :)

---dens

some1 gunna take some pics?? i wana see photos!!

Yes there will be pics :P

---dens

Is it still a goer for this weekend.

Mychael

GAH! I thought I posted a message up here while I was at work earlier. Yeah it's still full steam ahead for this sunday! Here's the map on where we will meet once again!



---dens

Well pretty much ended up being a non-event. Jon had work, flameboy slept in and forgot and mipcar called in the morning mentioning he couldn't make it (thanks :)). It's no big deal, ended up doing the run with mcgillaz anyhow, got lunch in yarra junction an headed back towards lillydale then cut through to mountian highway.

Was thinking that if anyone was interested that maybe next sunday we could do a drive down to eastlink as they're opening it (for free! for now) and drive on some nice smooth roads and see where our tax dollars have been spent ;).

If anyone's interested, just post here.

---dens

haha damn... thats no good.. did you get some pics neway? haha

Naah, would've just involved me eating a pie and a very dirty green micra :P

---dens

props for going anyway :)

it's actually pretty hard to get many people together for things like this huh!

i spent all day at a skidpan watching s13's drift and filming a heap of stuff, will post some vids soon

So sorry I had to let you down at the last moment mate but it was something that just came up and couldn't be helped. Really sorry.

Mychael

That's cool, these things happen. We'll work something out soon either way.

Smidge: Cool, would like to see some of that. Where was it at?

---dens

dens: oran park up here southwest of sydney, will post up a link when we're done with the finished...

the outcome of the day is... i'm going to drift school :D

gonna be awesome!
