                      How long does the cruise normally take?

                        you'll need to put a few hundred km's on your tyres just to get them reasonably non-slippy (a couple of runs up and down the eastern/ eastlink from franger to chandler highway should do the trick).

                        cruise starts early in the morning (get up at work times - 6:20 or so), and you should be back home for a lovely cold one at the pub by 2-3pm - you'll be pretty exhausted if it is your first "cruise" (read: boys will be boys).

                        oh, drive hard, but don't exceed the limits of your getting to know a new car.

                        and when you see a metallic blue polo (not mine, anymore, sadly) or any polo for that matter, don't presume, and don't take the bait by thinking about the numbers on paper - they will know their cars, and have set them up VERY well (as well as the other men who have sorted their cars out for the pleasure that is driving over VIC twisties).

                        just push it until you feel you're done, enjoy, and soak up what is usually (well, every time that i've been) a great bunch of people who just like to drive

                        my first (ehem) "cruise" was an eye opener, and it set me up for a long relationship with enjoying/ being reasonably aware of how to drive my car on the limit, as well as just simply hanging out with some fgckin cool people.

                        hit it!

                        • The last one I went to Herrick to toolangi took around 3 hours with a few stops and ending before return to healsville. The one I suggested about is an hour or two longer

                            Love this. Couldn't have said it better. So who's making the plans? Otherwise I'd suggest a meet near gembrook or the burger king at stud/Wellington rd. Or meet in ringwood to do reefton

                            • I'm in for the Sunday meet given weather conditions. Will be doing the route regardless of how many cars there are

                                Great where do we all want to meet? Me and another guys are keen on stud rd hungry jacks and going through gembrook as there's heaps more twisties on the way rather than going from lilydale to warby
