Just thought you guys would be interested to see what our cruises are all about. This one was a Homebush to the Gong

Been a very intering weekend.
Graeham (Bassula) & Faye (GF) arrived in Sydney, picked them up from the airport and then checked them into their hotel. Drove to pick up my mates car that was entering the Final Battle show to install Ice LED's.
We finished installing it by about 12am at night, well the results speak for themselves.

Sat morning, was running late (yes I know Lee :P) wasn't my fault was it Bass ;) We arrived at Hombush to find this mob standing around
(left to right)
Patrick (cal16v), Shane, Patrick (Calibra2c), Ben (Caly2c), Lee and Alistare (Adawell)

After a heated decussion of where we should head off to, well the only person to speak up was Alistare and his words was "South would be good, been north to many times" we decided to head off to Lee's home town of the Gong
We took Apin Rd as it was abit more interesting and twisty since the National Park was closed.

Coming onto Bulli lookout I decided to stop for a photo shoot, radio'd ahead to those with 2 ways that we were stopping. I appologise to Alistare who couldn't get into the left hand lane in time and missed the exit.
Turned out to be a great place to take pics.

Great pic me thinks ;)

Our second stop was Austinmere Beach. Really nice place, were Leanne and I went for a quick dip in the ocean while the others watch on... bunch of pikers :P

Is this paradise or what???

We then headed off to Woollongong for a bite to eat... yum fish and chips :) I guess I was too hungry cause I didnt get any shots of us there.
We even got attacked by a Sea Gull who deciided to eat off Leanne's fork!!

After a full belly, we headed of to Dapto to go the 0-100 runs. Wasn't easy finding a safe place to conduct it aswell. 30mins of driving landed us at a quite stretch of rd, thanks to Alistare who parked at the end with a radio to give us the all clear for our runs.

After that we said our goodbyes to Lee and Ben and proceeded on our journey home. We reached the first bit of the up hill stretch and found that Bass and his Gets was struggling. All the other guys decided to go ahead while I stayed behind to keep the Gets company :P

Thankyou to all for being so well behaved on the cruise. It was a great day out with lots to do.

Bass hope u liked the our meet mate, shame that a few dropped out, would have been good to see more then ten. Then again 6 is more then you'd ever see in Perth :P

NEXT Meet will definately see my car back on the road. This time I won't organise untill I have a definate date of completion.

Till next time ;)
