I'm in, too :)

[95' GSI]

I'd go but I think I'd be an embarassment to you all in my little 95 GSI which needs to be painted something fierce. I think Baby Zilla should go even though she no longer has her SRi.

Dont be embarassed, alot of the cars will just be stockie barina's - its all the same car at the end of the day.

I might come along in the new car if i have it by then, or drag the evo out :D

[95' GSI]

sounds good. I'll probably show up. If i'm not working.

Mate, relax. Give it some time. Post has only been up 1 day. There are a heap of members who visit only on weekends. You have heaps of time to register interest in this.

[Noir]

And a cruise is a cruise, regardless of numbers. WA has small ones if at all, and they have been most memorable!

You do have some time before April ;) Get recruiting!

[RobCDX]

book me in as a tentative spot for the time being... gonna book the day as annual leave as soon as i get back to work. will let you know ASAP

Anyone else who is coming from town and is keen to meet up first for a mini cruise to Kersbrook PM me or post here.

I am thinking the Marden shopping centre a bit before 9.

[95' GSI]

awesome. Glad someone else wants to come.
It would take me 45 minutes of more to get to marden so count me out for the mini drive.
Please nobody leave without me on the actual cruise, that would be depressing lol.

The time that the main cruise starts is negotiable, depending on what time you guys want lunch/brunch at meadows. According to google maps, the drive from Kersbrook to Meadows takes roughly 80 mins?

[sadavidsriturbo]

oops ....ok so sunday 13 april barrossa to beach cruise is the mini cruise still on?

[95' GSI]

oops ....ok so sunday 13 april barrossa to beach cruise is the mini cruise still on?

Yep it's still on.
Im gonna be the youngest one there, awkward :(
and I'm only 17, therefore my driving experience isnt as high as all of yours so Im slow around chain of ponds/snake gully etc.
Just a heads up lol.

[d.c.]

oops ....ok so sunday 13 april barrossa to beach cruise is the mini cruise still on?

The mini cruise is the same morning, its just from Marden to the Kersbrook pub (the start of the main cruise).

Its about 30 mins from Marden to Kersbrook so if we leave Marden by 9am we should get to Kersbrook about on time.

[HappySlapper82]

Hi guys, just some updates as we get closer to the 13th.

Edit; Thought we could change the start time in Kersbrook to around 10 - 1030am so we get to Meadows around lunch time?

I went for a drive today, to Meadows through to Victor just to organise some things. Found a couple of photo ops (I'll post pics below) and decided that the Meadows bakery (which is freakin awesome) would be better for us to have lunch at and talked to them about making some bookings. They are happy to close off a section of their dining area for us and will put on an urn with tea coffee, etc for us. They would just like to know an estimate of how many people (not cars) would be likely to show up.

Below are a couple of pics I took today to give you an idea of where we could take some group photo's. First is in Meadows, second is in Victor;

[95' GSI]

Umm at least one (me) and maybe one other person.
so two people for me.

BTW those are nice locations for pictures ops.

[dieselhead]

Yep it's still on.

Don't worry, this is a cruise, not a race! You'll be OK, promise. :)

[95' GSI]

Don't worry, this is a cruise, not a race! You'll be OK, promise. :)

I'm more worried about getting left behind and then lost lol.

[HappySlapper82]

I'm more worried about getting left behind and then lost lol.

Just print out the map from the link below, or I can supply one for you :)

[95' GSI]

Most likely wont stop me getting lost lol.
I have a bad sense of direction, even with a map.

[Storm Shadow]

I'm more worried about getting left behind and then lost lol.
Been driving since 1998, have had and driven some really nice cars not one speeding fine and planning on keeping it that way lol!!!!
95' GSI, dieselhead is very very correct it is a cruise not a race. I will hang back with you. Its all about meeting new people, having a drive, taking some pics and enjoying some nice rides.

Looking forward to meeting you all and having a great day.

Ohh and HappySlapper82, kudos for all the work and your enthusiasm, hope it will be the first of many cruises.

[95' GSI]

I agree. Well done, hopefully this will go well and encourage others to participate in the future.
Good on you for not giving up and for actually having the energy and guts to try and organise this. so yep, kudos to you.

[HappySlapper82]

Thankyou to everyone involved, YOU made it happen not me :D

I really need those numbers guys so I can make a booking before we miss out

[95' GSI]

You've got my numbers.
Max of 2 people. min of one obviously :p

[d.c.]

Numbers for me = 1

Is the official meeting time at Kersbrook now 10:00-10:30?

If so the time to meet at Marden shopping centre would be 9ish for a 9:30 departure.

Looks like weather will be ok, coolish but dry, good turbo weather:)

[dieselhead]

mmmmmm, turbo weather :)

[95' GSI]

[Storm Shadow]

[PaulyJ]

Problem solved: Get someone else to drive it :D

[d.c.]

I have a DSLR also which I can bring along, I got drunk and the BDO and smashed my little lens but I will bring another bigger lens which may be suitable for some pics.



but if another turbs wants to have a go i'm keen lol

Well if the road ahead is clear there are some fun areas in the hills where we might be able to open the taps a bit;)

Here is a map from Marden to Kersbrook, probably a good idea to print one out if you are not sure of the way.

And I think the best place to meet is on the Northern end of the parking lot where you can enter off Lower Portrush Rd.

[95' GSI]

I really have to fix my gearbox before I go.
Otherwise I may not actually make it there in one piece :eek:
Hopefully though if I dont fix it before then it won't play up too much.
Any body know how to adjust the linkages? I dont have a clue what they look like and I cant find my freaking manual for my car. :mad:

[Storm Shadow]

So everyone still coming?
For the mini cruise meet I assume that the car park entrance we are talking about is the one that is near the cafe right? lower Portrush across from the blockbuster. Hey 9am on a Sunday I'm sure we will see all the Opels no matter which part of the carpark.

[95' GSI]

I'm still in.
Mosty likely I will get lost on my way down to Marden. Im so good at getting lost. You'd be suprised.

Looking forward to this, will be good to catch up with some other 'Opel' drivers and go for a bit of a run.

[dieselhead]

I'm still in, how else? :)
Meet you in Marden, minutes after 9:00.

[Storm Shadow]

Sweet!!! Hopefully the weather holds up. Think I'll give the car a wash in the morning on Sunday. Looking forward to it.

We could always come by and pretend we kidnapped you or something like that. Just say the word :)

Nah, have fun, I'm sure you will. Be nice to them, think about the fact that we all are going to be like that one day...

[nadg63]

Have an enjoyable cruise all, cannot join in as commited to something else, (but did manage to catch up with HappySlapper 82 today).

[d.c.]

See everyone tomorrow, and remember to arrive with a full tank of fuel nothing worse than getting lost cos you had to stop to fill up.;)

[HappySlapper82]

Last minute, anyone need me to print them a map?

[Storm Shadow]

Camera charged, full tank of fuel, quick clean in the morning and I'm ready to go!

See you guys in the morning, cant wait, lets hope after this we prove that SA can have meets\cruises. The pics we take should entice people to come along next time. Can discuss ways of promoting Opel Aus to other SA Opel owners tomorrow.

btw print one up for me just in case, and perhaps a few extra just in case people need them, but should be all good.

[dieselhead]

Last minute, anyone need me to print them a map?

Yes please, if is not too much trouble...

I probably got there before you.
My GPS gave me a short cut, and then sent me down dirt roads in the middle of no where.
I would like to point out that it wasn't my fault. Some slow idiot (40 in the 80 or 100 zone) pulled out infront of me and I couldn't overtake him for like 10 minutes, then you were gone :(

Hey guys was a great day was really great to meet you all, and awesome for the first of many more SA cruises\meets to come. 95'GSI don't stress not all meets in the future will be cruises and like Happyslapper82 said we will stick ya in the middle next time so you wont have an excuse to get left behind lol!

Hopefully this will prove to other SA members that we can get together and next time will be even bigger, Have to make up a flier to promote when we see other Opels parked somewhere.

Go the SA Opel crew!!!!

[Storm Shadow]

Thanks to Happyslaper82 for the heads up for an awesome location in the CBD. I was bored on the way home some stopped by town and took some snaps. Would be awesome if we could have group shots like this. Urban Shoots are always good and something I have a little more flair with. These pis where taken in a hurry and very raw, have no editing so with some photoshopping will be awesome. Gives us something to plan for, lets all try and think of good locations.

I see you found the place I was talkin about :D Can't wait to get in there and get some shots

[Storm Shadow]

Unrelated, but here is the link to the auto close window device we spoke about that Caspers Turbo has, think it's the same guy, not sure if he still does them as it seems the site is a little neglected and hasn't been updated since 06. Perhaps we need to email him and find out, I'm pretty keen for this $25 plus hipping is a bargain, so if anyone has luck would be great if you can let us know.

these look tempting

if you get a reply back let me know

looking at his install method for the astra atleast the install seems kinda dodgy, i woulda thought it would be safer to just get a wire splice/tap thing (so you dont accidently cut the wire)

==edit==

just noticed the store is in QLD, ill make some enquiries

Sweet buddy, seeing as its closer to home for you look forward to some feedback. I know that one of our SA members has one of these kits and it works fine in his Astra, assuming this is the same supplier. I will buy if there is a guide for the Corsa/Barina supplied, as there is not one on his site.

[glider]

i still havent got around to fixing the website, the price is supposed to be $50.already got a reply back from him,

item is now actually $50, he hasn't updated the website as you said

I'm probably going to go pick one up on Wednesday

and sorry for thread hijack

[Storm Shadow]

Wow thats some serious inflation for 2 years lol! still interested but have $$$$ reserved for an OBDII Key, tool instead, will have to wind the windows myself lol.

[HappySlapper82]

Haven't really had the time to look at it yet.
I'll do it tomorrow since I'm about to go to work, yay :rolleyes:
Hopefully I can figure it out, although it doesnt look too bad so if I can't its no big deal really.
It was great meeting you all yesterday, being able to put faces and names to OpelNames.
Have a good night:)
