Also, here is an alternative track which is quieter and twistier. Perhaps for the way back.

Even though I'm not going, could I suggest you all meet in the car park of the Burnside Town hall, also off Portrush Rd, diagonally opposite Burnside Village. The reason being that Burnside Village at 10am on a Saturday morning will be very, very full and chances of you all finding enough car parks to get into a group will be next to impossible. Just a thought.

Have a great cruise, I'm annoyed that I'll be on the roof cleaning gutters instead of joining you lot.

Sounds great, real throaty under load but no drone in the cabin when cruising. Bit of a power difference, but all in all definately worth the $$$

Of course im such an idiot, meet at the Burnside town hall/library car park instead. It is literally the corner diagonal from the Burnside carpark. The shopping centre carpark will be very busy. Try and get the word out.

Please excuse my retartedness

So you guys when to town hall? Should have re-read the thread as i went to Burnisde Village just to have a look at the cars and attend part way on the cruise. Ended up driving around the car park, then spotted a Soarer with no one in it. Waited about 15 mins and didnt see anyone so i left and when leaving the stupid car bottomed out and scrubbed the mufflers at the rear of the car arghh haha

Hope those that made it had a great run.

Apologies for non attendance, but still waiting on new battery from Sydney - was pushing to get it before today, but was hoping. Yep, we killed yet another one. Think we need to drive her more than 2-3 times in over a year???

Think it went in protest as we'll need to drive her soon, as we're selling the Cefiro. Need to get a bigger car for our new baby boy..he was born last Sunday....purebred rotty, who will be ready to join us at end of January.

Chris yours did sound insane as well but I remember I was directly behind Ben as he accelerated to overtake a car and I was like dam that's cool.

Well actually basically all the V8's sounded pretty sweet. Looking forward to the photos!
