That's a decent route set up there, probably about the limit to what I'd drive before I'd want to leave early if it was any longer. There needs to be more of this I recon, especially in Adelaide. littlebear, where have you been these last month or so?
The longest one I've been on was with my old LX with some bogun Commodore forum. It ended up running close to 30 cars from about 730pm till 2 or 3am and over 500km. So lame, despite all their planning keeping it secret and not letting the route get published until the start point and by handing out the next stage only once everyone had gatthered at the next meeting point. I think the funniest thing about it was seeing them get defected by the cops one by one through out the night lol. |

yeah little hatches don't attract quite so much attention... plus if your car is easily defected its a piece of shit or you are lazy...
242km isn't that far for a cruise i don't reckon, for a day out anyway you guys need to get ya cars set up nice and go and drive them in the hills a little! |

Please take note the meeting point in Homebush has been abandoned because of road closures on that particular day.
The new Meeting options are 1) Parramatta Pool Carpark - Next to Parramatta Stadium and the Leagues Club 2) Information Centre opposite Richmond Air Force Base. Smidge... I'll be meeting at the Parramatta Pools meeting spot. PS I'll have a camera with me but something tells me Smidge will have a fairly decent video camera with him. |

Hello everyone...
I am the website owner, and a mod a SwiftSport.net Looks like we've caught your attention. The reason the cruise is long... I wanted a cruise up Bells Line of Road, but didn't want to double back anywhere. Therefore the only way back home would be to go ALLLLL the way up to Mt Victoria and swing back onto the Great Western Highway.... hence 240kms round trip. At least its not the same route? Good to see some of you guys are coming!!! The website is for all info is: http://www.konarzewski.com.au/Suzuki/Hot_Hatch_Cruise.html and the attendee register is at: http://www.editgrid.com/user/mckonazz/November_Cruise Hopefully I'll see a few of you guys there... I promise we'll go slow so you can keep up ;) Hopefully me video camera mount, for my roof racks will be working by Saturday!!! |

Hmmm I wonder who that could be? :P
Was a great day, and still cant get over how little fuel I used. $10 worth of BP ultimate after 150km up the freeway. I was stoked. |
