Morgan you're slow as hehehe.....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was being responsible...
PS - We thought you left, and when I saw your car on the side of the road, I was thinking you were just a random Soarer owner, then you started following me...
I put my foot down ect to try and make things interesting... And I was deeply dissapointed when I wasn't getting anywhere and you were on my ass big time. Then... I put my windows down / music off and I could hear that monster turbo of yours screaming its head off and recognized the plates... haha
I wasn't so upset when I relalised what I was losing to hehe, what a machine you have man, I'm overly jealous

you serious morgan? I can give you a number!
Yeh, I was joking, although it'd be a fun line of work to get into, although, my current job is too easy for me to quit

hahahaah.....I got lost....drove to Warburton turn off and realised I was going the opposite way. So I made a uturn then saw Colin leading the bunch of angry soarer made me change my mind of going home, so I made another u turn to catch up with them, but then pulled over and think for a few seconds whether I should continue the cruise coz I had to be home to finish off the work on my bro's skyline I started in the morning, the thought got blown away when I saw the second group of soarers (not so angry hehhe) so off I went again, pity I was behind you guys otherwise I would have caught up with Colin's group....ehehe.....anyway, was great meeting up with you guys....see ya next time...

I'm very glad that you all liked what i prepared for you. Being the pace car was NOT an easy job! I spent half of my time looking at all my mirrors to see the postions/total number of the cars in the convoy. Busy with CB and mobile at the same time sometimes to find out who is lost/left behind etc. And i also have to set a decent pace for beginers and hooners in the pack around different areas too! It is much more fun to follow, coz you dont have to worry about all those and you get to see all the soarers around you.
I'm glad that all of you guys gave way to me after we stopped just after Kinglake. I was in the middle of the pack when we turned right towards Healsville at that roundabout and I was enjoying watching the soarers around me. Suddenly I realised that I have to show you the way! :D So I flicked on my HIDs with my right indicator to say "I want to overtake!" and tooting viciously behind every soarer I caught up......hahaha what a rush! I had to be at the front before we hit Chum Creek, which was about 3 kms away!! Good to see that all those drivers in front of me realised my intention (or was scared of this unnamed green TT might run you off the road by being so aggressive with the horn...if you didnt know that was my car).
Could have been a bit too much for some, hence it is called the G Force cruise. Now you know why.
Sorry about the accidental "rally cross session"! :P silly me miss the sign. Felt very guilty for all the cars behind me copping all the dust and gravel at 80 kays while 4 wheel sliding on loose thick gravel...
When I had been told by the CB radio to stop the convoy completely, I seriously thought that someone fell off the cliff after Kinglake bends, or someone stacked after Marysville... Lucky, you are all better than I expected and the soarers can handle better than you think! Very predictable, no sudden mid corner oversteer etc. (if you have good tyres and correct alignment)

that was my first drive soooo fast on the road with cliff, and i don't know how fast is the speed i drive becoz i have no time to look at my dashboard speed, my eyes always concentrate in front of the TT and S2000 all the time. Every corner is a surprise for me, becoz the cliff was so much close with it, i was very scare and my heart bit very fast, i got no time to think and i drive very fast...i need to thank to my TEIN coilover and my new rear 275/35/18 TOYO tyre becoz they gave me a lot of confident and fun, without this time cruise, i will never know i can go that fast in that situation with my tyre and Suspension. I am really looking forward to do it again. By the way, while i was doing in that cliff road, the green soarer V8 behind me all the time, he was doing very well, is that a V8 4WS? very impressive..

It's this type of Cruise that should encourage all who like to drive FAST around corners and really handle the car to try a Track Day. Next Year we will be attending Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit and there's NO REASON you Hard Core Drivers shouldn't be there. On the race track is great fun, smooooooooth road, no trees, no grandmas, no cops - just flat out as hard as you can go !!!!!
Please come with us and try your Soarer on the Track - She'll love it !!!!
Entry Fee 140 (1 day) about 35 - 40 laps CAMS 90 (12 month 2S speed licence) PIARC 50 (12 month Phillip Island Auto Racing Club Membership) Front Brakes 150 ( have a spare set - you'll need 'em !!!!) Fuel 95 (12 - 14 litres per session x 5 sessions) Oil 40 (you'll need some)
Around $600 - Start Saving NOW !!!! That should see you through just fine for the first time, then it's really just entry fees and fuel/oil after that.

Why don't we all just hire out a runway at Melbourne Airport, that way we can go fast... and not have to worry about those pesky things you guys call "corners" hehe
I clearly proved on the W/E that we don't get along.
