Adelaide: Monthly Coffee and Drive Meet - Discussion Thread

[Jakeys]

Not sure. Don't think he's a member of EuroSA but he often takes shots around Burnside himself so he probably lives locally.

I'm sure he does but he seems to always be there with a camera without having prior knowledge of the meets. Does he just sit there Sundays waiting? And where was he! I saw a dude hanging around with phone taking pics but these look like they were taken by a properly decent full size cam.

It's possible - he gets a *lot* of shots of exotics and meets.

I did see a couple of people walking around with a dSLR that I didn't recognise - but then I don't know many of the EuroSA guys by sight.

Hey lads, EuroSA is organising another cruise for this Sunday, the "R U OK Charity Run".

The meet point is Beaumont Rd, off Greenhill Rd, at 9am, for a 10am depart. Here's the cruise route (to Victor Harbor via Strath; back direct or via this route):

https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/-34.9396323,138.6206282/-34.9997693,138.7120996/-35.0947268,138.7870114/-35.2604086,138.8928166/-35.5569861,138.6240505/-35.4575216,138.3504847/-35.1382649,138.4937908/-34.9394734,138.6205966/@-34.944047,138.6203408,15.47z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0

Participants are encouraged to donate some amount to the R U OK charity on the day, and it's all been organised as an official fundraiser; the donations are tax deductible.

43 people are currently listed as going, but in true EuroSA style I would be surprised if more than 1/3 of that number actually get out of bed on Sunday morning and bother showing up. At any rate, I'll go along to the meet and may or may not cruise depending on the turnout etc. But it'd be good to see you all there!

Didn't realise this was coming down here to Victor, otherwise would have sorted to come to the final cruise point.

What was the turnout like?

I'm not sure how many went on the EuroSA cruise yesterday, however we have a cruise scheduled for next Sunday if anyone is keen for a drive.

Last time we headed out to Mannum so I'm open to suggestions either North or South.

Hey Jonasz, saw on FB that you were down Victor way. We had about 25 on the cruise, although that included about 10 Focus STs; there were only 4 VWs (Resch's Roc, Mike Bos' Mk3, a Mk6 R and Mk6 GTI) and my Audi from the VAG stable, and I was the only VWW regular. Scotty brought his Polo to the meet but rode shotgun with Resch to get photos. We ended up with almost everyone at Victor for lunch; was a good day, shame you missed it.

I think Aaron intended to come along, but had some mechanical trouble and had to bail.

Given yesterday's EuroSA cruise was south I'd probably lean towards north, although I may not have time for a cruise next weekend anyway. At the very least I'll come for coffee at Taylor Blend if the route starts there!

[tigger73]

Since a few of us are time poor and we've been flooded with suggestions I'm proposing going for a quick squirt through the hills and back in town for lunch.

Here's the suggested route: Taylor Blende to Newton with stops to catch up/photos in Verdun and Mt Lofty

[yellowsv86]

looks good

[Ozrodent]

Count me in [emoji16]

[themarvel2004]

I'm in. What time at Taylor Blend?

[tigger73]

9:30am for coffee, 10am depart

[Stinger]

Hi Guys, Just recently bought a Mk5 R32 and would like to join the cruise. See ya there

[tigger73]

R32's are always welcome and whoever gets to drive behind you will get additional aural pleasure for the trip

Taylor's Blend, Mt Lofty, time poor.. this all sounds familiar. If I can swing back 'home' I'll have to give this a crack again.
