Just an expression of my own personal disappointment. Today feels like a bit of a write-off. I feel like I payed for a three-course meal and only got an entrée in return.

Everything started off pretty well (thanks Pete for the cruise organising), and things were going good. The group was kept together pretty well and everything went great. There was that issue with getting stuck behind epically slow cars, but that's out of anyone's control. That kinda made me a little disappointed, but that was all good.

The return leg was a bit of a cluster f*** however. A group was made to cruise back through the twisties of the Nasho and we were on our merry way. However with all the lights and roundabout along the way, there wasn't much effort to keep the group together. As a result, half the group got broken up with no knowledge of where everyone was going. Four of the cars in this group happened to be 4 of us QLD'ers.

So after driving for a long hour through all this residential area, we only ended up on a highway with a long trip back to our respective accommodation with no enjoyment to be had.

today was interesting...

Morning up until kiama was exeptionally well organise by pete, you did an awesome job!! After kiama tho it was very much of a letdown!

We drove from QLD to see the roads down here and at the last minute it gets called off??? Who cares if there are police, do the speed limit, noones cares we would just like to see the road not get sent home early and feel like we havent seen anything exept highways. And eventually we got people togeather to go, and i thought it was a mountain run not a cruse through getto towns stopping and starting at lights all the time! And thank you for the boys at the front for waiting for the rest of the croud???use just left us and there was about 69 of us just lost and 100km away from where we should be. Thanks for that.

Rant over

I needed a toilet hence why I was rushing ahead. I also knew that some one in the middle knew the way there, but I guess I was wrong there. It was a last minute thing to go through as it was on my way home.

The reason why I went that way was because it was the only way I knew that would get us to the coastal road and it was the most direct way there! I didn't except so many people to follow (considering it was a last minute thing). Also maybe next time the out of towners should of been in the middle. Its hard to see if everyone was together from the front no one flashed so I continued on to find a toilet before I ****** myself. I didn't really feel like cleaning my interior tonight.

Just thought I'd lighten the mood by thanking everyone for yesterday, show-and-shine was really well set up and everything progressed smoothly. Big props to Castle Hill Toyota for letting us use their carpark, sucks that we couldn't get a hybrid Camry or a Rukus for a centre-piece though, wouldn't have been surprised if they would have picked up a few sales from it. Thanks as well to Mish, Mark, Pete et al for running the show, counting votes and all else. Great to catch up with a few faces I hadn't seen for a while, as well as the out-of-towners and banana-benders, and to put faces to cars to avatars.

Oh, and also props to Bill for his around-the-world cruise for kebabs......well, around the world for everyone except for me, as I was going somewhere 5 minutes down the road afterwards :P.

i would've went with you guys and led the pack back as i knew my way around there and could've led some of you back to carlingford but i had to head back to campbeltown to pick up some stuff so hence why i didnt go that way. Well hope u all interstate peeps have a safe drive home and it was nice meeting you guys :)

I feel your guys pain. I think that at the end of the day it was down to poor communication, some people had radios some didnt, it wasnt that the interstate people werent in the middle of the pack, because they were...it was down to us at the back trying to find our way with no leaders. And of course once one person takes the wrong turn everyone followed. Luckily for a few of us we saw that we took the wrong turn and pulled over and thanks to Kenneth for having a GPS.

We can sit here for weeks on end pushing the blame onto different people, instead of looking at what went wrong i think we should be thankfull for the ammount of effort put in by the moderators and remember the good times rather than the bad.

Like pulling kenneth from the ditch, or listening to Tash abuse the hell out of the undercover cop :P

Sorry to hear that some interstate guys were hard done by on the way back home from Kiama.

I'm sure it was no ones intention to get split up. It really sucks that everyone couldnt communicate because CB's were either out of battery or on the wrong channel. Having said that, I was at the back of the pack leaving Maccas and managed to make it out the twisties right at the front of the pack.. So I'm not sure were things went wrong because everyone was constantly doing 10-15 Ks under the limit until the beginning of the twisties.

Really? I think I'm the only one who've been doing under the speed limit.. :lol:

Sorry for the QLD-ers who got left behind. I feel this is partly my fault :( The only reason why I sped up today because I've been staying at the speed limit all the time, till yesterday where I was left out after the show & shine for the kebab place. And sorry to some / I should say MOST people for going slow? [bare to the speed limit] almost all the time during the weekend. I notice this from lots of people who overtook me even during a single lane.. . It's only coz I need to be careful for holes, bumps, and ramps so to avoid damage to my wheels and bumpers + keeping my license points & avoiding fines + to wait for others who got stuck in red lights and such. In the end, I tried to keep up to you guys during the twisties.

Let this be a lesson for all so not to happen again next time. If things were to go bad, we all will feel BAD for the victims.

Huge Thanks to BGPete thou for organizing the Cruise.. It was awesome.. If only I joined it from the start.

And to lighten up the mood, check the Past club meets for pics. I'm workin on it now. Expect them in around 5 mins. :)

But nice meeting all of you! I'd like to thank Guni for his tow strap, Mick for his tow hook, and the white Aurion for pulling me out of the ditch - sorry I didn't get your name. :)

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required. The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted. You can trace the solid black wire. Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors. I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless. The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.
