Yeah, It's disapointing that there is no "NSW Cruise" photo in the forum gallery... http://www.austarion.com/pics/cruises.php

What is needed to get it registered?

There is a few things :glare:
I have to finish the rust repair/bog i started the other weekend.
Have to fit the new coilovers to the front.
Put the intercooler back in.
Find out why the horn doesn't work. (why do japs always fit new horns?)
Make my guages read correctly again after fitting the white faced dials.
Raise the rear up so i can get in and out of my driveway properly.

I am also restoring my boat at the same time, so i have to juggle both with what little weekend time i have.

date and time are fine by me

im not fussed where we go.

ive been on a few cruises lately with other clubs -

one was from paramatta to singleton via windsor road, wilburforce road then highway 69

another was from windsor road norwest to wiseman ferry then through the back of dural then up around castle hill

both were nice drives.

i would rather cruises that go into the country side a bit so we dont have to stop every 40 metres for traffic lights.

Count us in, although we have a bbq that day that we're keen to go to... but if we're cruising in the morning we should be able to do both.

I think staying out of the city is probably a good idea, we should go somewhere where we can stay together, get some pics and actually drive (not being stuck in traffic). Penrith then?

i should be in for this.. but maybe earlier would be a bit nice.. i have work from noon.. so if we can meet up by say 9 or 9:30 and then head off at 10 or 10:30, then i can start back around 11:30 and be back at work in good time..

and earlier morning on a sunday will mean less folks on the road too :beer
