I dunno if i'll be coming on this cruise. Sounds like a good one but yeah i won't be attending. Not that i have a VL anyway... Anyway a VS could out-brake some of these cars by far, and probably pull a hill climb better with more torque than a VL but ya know... Just **** stiring.

Nah probably not Ollie... I drive a VS, you guys drive VL's, its time for me to move on from the old VL days. Anyway if things work out with the thing i am working on at the moment i may even end up driving euro stuff.

Haha, so you'd rather drive to Maccas or the BWCP every weekend and SIT in your car rather than actually DRIVE it?? This cruise is gonna be ****in fun. My diff is gonna break half way up Mount Mee, and cos the breaks are shonky, I'm gonna roll backwards down the hill and take out all your VLs. I suppose though that the roads are best suited towards cars that can cut a sub 16 second 1/4 Mile pass By the way, as the email Ollie sent out says - NO TAILGATING Some of the corners are sharp and blind, and if someone takes them too quick and has a spin, there could be some real trouble...

What i was trying to say is that i can't see the point in me coming along with a whole bunch of VL's and being the odd person out with a VS. And while the roads might be aimed at "sub 16 sec cars" they're sure as hell not aimed at 16 year old cars which were never set up with great deals of torque. Not to mention the breaking power of a billy cart. If you wanna see something that would eat those corners for breakfast, watch something like Brendans R33 climb it, or for that matter, a new SAAB 9-3 Anyway i'll think about coming, i doubt it though.

A cruise is a cruise, we're not there to see who can get from a to b the quickest and arrive with the coolest brakes and the most torque. Who gives a **** weather the vl is 16 years old, there'd be a few vls on the cruise that would certainly handle better through the hills than an toyota lexen, probably mince it on its way too. as for the saab and the r33, who cares ?

Hey Guys, This is to everyone bringing up what happened on saturday night - if you're not involved, its none of your business. Lets keep this **** off the forum as there is no need for it. The parties involved have worked this out and anyone still bringing it up should shut up now. I will be speaking to a moderator andy any mention of it is to disapear. Lets keep this about a cruise and not the darker moments of a past event. Cruise, Have fun, Don't kill yourselves or anyone else and just enjoy your time up there.

Yes, I'll be coming. I would bring my g/f...if I had one. lol....actually, need someone with (ie: knows how to use) a digi cam to get some good footage & shots. So I'll probably have a mate riding shotgun. Hey Rob, I'll take you up on that braking challenge! Andy, why aren't ya coming this time round? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
