Vic Drive Days???

[golfyvic]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if any drive days are organised in Melbourne, or if you meet somewhere for a cruise? Keen to to see some of your rides, and get some tips on mods etc....

Would be nice to stretch the legs to see what my TSi can do in the windy stuff, as I don't really get a chance with the mrs in the car. There's even some nice scenic stuff out the back of Monbulk, towards Emerald

Check out the Cruise and meet up section...No doubt there will be something in there.

we were very close to organising something just before the bushfires hit. Its probly time to start thinking about another run before winter sets in! feel free to offer up some suggestion

[golfyvic]

No worries Tim,


Haven't been on a drive day yet, so I don't know what roads are better than others?? Some nice roads out the back of Monbulk heading towards Emerald & Pakenham??

I live in Seaford, so not too far..

[Tim]

yep I was thinking of exploring the dandenongs on the next cruise but arent overly familiar with the area.

[GoLfMan]

Yeh I agree we should organise something soon.

Come along to the next pub meet matey and we'll float some ideas there

[golfyvic]

Cool no worries... Used to live up there so I know some of the roads.

See you there

i know! Yarra blvd time trials! Starting at the Chandler hwy turn off, back until Studly park rd. that could be fun.

[golfyvic]

Well I'm in....

I'll be up in Monbulk this Saturday morning around 10 ish, so if anyone is interested I'll be at the safeway car park at the end of the main street.

[golfyvic]

sorry Buller Scott,

Should've read your email (Been a long day). Yeah that sounds cool!!! What about this weekend? Pretty booked out after that.

[Buller_Scott]

sounds good to me.

i have only met a couple of blokes from the forum- i've yet to meet more.

im free this saturday, and im going to hook up with Josh (golf-man) soon to go for a fang.

i'd be up for saturday- i finish work at 0630 sat morning, and its always good to have something to do during the day on saturday- a drive would be great! my old man is in town from indonesia (works there), he might come along too!

im in, josh?

[Buller_Scott]

Yarra Blvd is one the greatest pieces of Tarmac close to the CBD and Eastern suburbs. But it is very well known and also popular with cyclists, tourists, families and the law. Probably best not to push the out side of the evelope round there.

But in saying that a the Blvd is great for a weekly meet up and fang as its quick and close to many on here.

For weekend cruises the idea is to get out of the Suburbs and find some nice windy roads. As a Learner still I havnt been on any cruises but there is some good roads to be had out back of the hills.

good points though. i have a habit of going at 2am, when theres no-one about and mysteriously the speed limit is hard to see....
