MELBOURNE MONTHLY CRUISE - First weekend each month!

[DNA Tuning]

Can't wait to get back in on this; my S4 is being resurrected as we speak.

[NeuSpeedGTI]

Well home now.... and as usual after such a top morning on the road, now maintaining a level of satisfaction that only comes from a cheeky braaaap through the vic high country.

Few sensational runs in there and a few wrong turn offs!! (But hey wouldnt be a cruise without it!)

Was great to meet everyone and the old 8 valver much appreciated the italian tune thats for sure, mind you might be putting aside a bit of time to rotate the tyres.. hard yakka keeping up with turbos and V8's!!! (Especially with you Scotty - taking that TD to the limits and beyond!!! - Think a fused clutch is letting you off lightly.. lol) and hope I didnt slow down the run from Mary to Healville too much, did my best to give us a bit of breathing space whenever I could!

Great to meet you all... looking foward to getting another run in before winter hits us with too much wet weather and for those who are reading this, please just take a minute out of your day and spare a thought for our duck population!! (Especially you S3 drivers... lol )

Cheers!!

to the dude in the blue S3 who i ran with for the later part, across the top and coming down into marysville (sorry, again im bad with names!), thanks for leading me - i had a fcking AWESOME time trying to keep up, "fun, spirited driving" doesnt come close to describing how much i liked that run. hope the S3 is okay underneath after that friggin massive dip - that's a nasty one for sure.

Hey Scotty,

I said it as soon as I got out of the car and still mean it, very impressed with the way you held that Polo on that very fast run.
likewise, I had an amazing drive, really great stretch of road made more interesting by the greasy nature.
One of the better 'sprints' I have had for sure. Good job again keeping up the way you did through the bends.

Sorry for bringing unwanted attention to the group. That was an effing joke.
Scaring some ducks off the road... good laugh though!

Nice to meet you all.
Looking forward to more runs like that in the future.

Great photos also to everyone, thanks for taking and posting (I was too lazy to take the camera out of the car).

lol @ woody's comment on the facebook album thingy - i cant reply because i dont have a facebook account. i've got one for my dog, but it'd look a bit strange if he tried to join DTI haha.

hey gerard - yeah, im still REALLY stoked about that run - probably my best run to date, to be honest! however, i find that (as with all things, like riding with someone else through the terrain park at the snow) i tend to only have runs like that when im with/ being led by someone else, both peeps working with/ complimenting each other - so once again, thanks for leading me, man! FCKING. AWESOME.

the ducks - i was just in front of you, and i didnt even see them. i reckon, for the policeman, it was more about letting us know that he's got his eye on us, which is fair enough. i can only imagine what it's like if you're part of a holden/ ford cruise, or even worse - a jdm cruise (''right boys, pop your hoods and let's see who's got more than 2 intake mods!").

awesome fun. i'll be making the next one for sure!

Thanks for all the photo's fellas, disappointed I didn't stay on to Kinglake.

Interested in a run over Easter? I still need to break in one of my Advans and would enjoy some company with someone I can keep up with.

hey gents, was an awesome run, thanks to all for coming out. I was slack this time and didn't bring the camera so no photos from me

.. sorry for the lack of updates but I was recently abducted against my will, obviously, and forced to swallow little green pills with 'facebook' written on them, whatever that is. Anyway after several days unaccounted for I recently awoke in a daze and spotted this thread ...

Eddy you and the crew are more than welcome to come and tackle the mountain with us anytime.

Gerard I think that coppa just needed a visible excuse to get out of the office and enjoy the sunshine .. and was maybe a little envious of your blue monster? Obviously he's a little protective of his town, still in rebuild mode, that was all but wiped off the map also. No doubt he'll get a chance to use a few better excuses when the falcodores come through

John get that A4 fixed stat mate

Greg I'll put my hand up for an easter run, but would need to be extra early to avoid the tourists ..

yeah sounds good, greg - but if it's okay i will let you (or someone else) lead as last weekend was pretty hard on the car, i'm not gonna be driving like that all the time - besides, if im behind you i can watch your lines (which is always educational imo).

yeah nice and early would be good.

Does 7am leaving the Knox carpark sound good for Friday or Monday?

Less traffic on Monday but dryer roads on Friday

Well, sunrise tomorrow is 6:39am and I aim to be there very shortly after

[Buller_Scott]

hey greg sorry - im out. not feeling so crash hot (teeth are giving me a bit of grief again).

[kaanage]

if im behind you i can watch your lines (which is always educational imo).

You wouldn't have been able to glean much today - semi slicks give INSANE braking and turn in points let alone corner speed.

Too bad you (and no one else) came along though. There was bugger all traffic on the Reefton - Marysville run and not much to Healesville (in the direction I was going - heading out from Lilydale, it was wall to wall 4WDs with caravans, trailers or boats)
