[VIC] - TOCAU Victorian Monthly Meet

[jeffy]

Hey Pete.., do you know where to get a radio for cheap?

[fillit]

Gents (and ladies),

Anyone free to do a recon run this Sunday? :P

P.s. We always use UHF radios to communicate with each other on the cruises. Recommend everyone to buy one; make everything run smoother and less hassle. :)

i would offer, but your spine would be shattered after 30minutes :P

How come? I'm sure Reece would be alright... :P

my coilovers are too stiff :(

[maca_10]

Sorry dwee, i have exams monday and tuesday. so this weekend is out for me

Probably mid to late november for the real cruise

[iVaz]

Since we have this planning rolling, what date would we would be choosing?

As for recon, I can't as I have work on Sunday's :'(

are you even going to wake up early for the recon <_< ? ;)

[Kenshin X]

be aware that the recon will take a full day... it took us a full day last year when we went

[dwee.]

Hey Pete.., do you know where to get a radio for cheap?

Jeff, I would recommend buying a UHF that is at least 1W. Any weaker and it's not that good/clear, especially around mountain bends etc. Right now I got one that's $70 but I'm thinking of buying a stronger one since I use it more often. :)

my coilovers are too stiff :(

Never too stiff mate! :P

Yeah fair enough mate. Education first, come for the cruise; it's been a while!

Yep, that's a good point Duy. If you are not able to spend a full day, you might want to re-consider doing a recon run.

No one is free this Sunday? :P

i got work on sunday... i finish at 3pm... :(

i see.. soo since i would barely use a radio... when you get another radio, can i buy your old one ? or would that be too crap to use for meets/runs etc..

Bummer! I guess I might have to be a loner and go by myself!

PM'd you about UHF. :)

[fillit]

is this tomorrow? i may be up for a recon run depending on time..

[Tash]

Date wise I'll throw up a few suggestions for the real thing - how about either Sunday the 13th November or Sunday the 20th November?

[jeffy]

20th sounds good :)

*POLL TIME* !

[fillit]

20th!, coming back from sydney on 13th, will be too dead.

[dwee.]

is this tomorrow? i may be up for a recon run depending on time..

Yeah, was planning a recon run tomorrow but no one was free! So I was going to postpone it; find out tomorrow.

[Buff Hamster]

20th are after my exams. 13th is no chance for me since i will be still in exam period. Assuming i come.

[jeffy]

I Guess 20th November would be the ideal date then,? Save the dates ?

- sounds like a reasonable/feasible enough date, with planning and all that, and near summertime too, weather would be great'

Continuing on with the list:

1) Jeffy => edit: ( nay for the recon run for now [unless otherwise i change my mind )

2) Tash (am too far away for recon runs for this sorry)

3) fillit (maybe recon run )

4) iVaz (actually in this time)

5) maca_10 aka Chris - should be up for recon if on Sunday + probably S15 & WRX

6) dwee (TBC depending on commitment, free for recon run on weekend of 5/6th)

[Cee-Lo]

Will try to keep the 20th free.

Might be able to help with the recon run, will be able to confirm availability closer to the date. I think the recon should be done on the sunday, so we get an idea of traffic and parking, etc.

EDIT: Where can I find a decent UHF radio for a reasonable price?

with a ride that low, i would be surprised if they WEREN't on the stiffest setting. lol.

[Son Gokou]

Just give ya guys an idea, i been to the GOR cruisebefore and here is the run down:

Meet at Mobile Servo / McDonalds on Western Ring road (near Boundary Rd. exit), going towards City, NOT towards Airport. Melways Map 40 B5 around 10am.

Stop at BP station in LittleRiver for break / fuel.

Go to Apollo bay via Anglesea.

Have break / lunch at Apollo bay then go home via the Forrest inland.

The route through the forrest inland is a very nice drive and less traffic!

There is a pub / hotel at Apollo Bay, so can always have lunch there.

If people wants, you guys can always have a short break at Lorne.

[jeffy]

^ im with him or 8.30 am

[Tash]

10am sounds good, especially coming from Bendigo heheheh But I suppose I can get up super early :) I'll update the first page and post with the date, 20th November. Plans are coming along, great job guys!

[dwee.]

Sounds like a plan! :)

I'll try to find where we met up last time for GOR.

Edit: Here it is! Have a read! :)

[iVaz]

Cool, yeah where can I get a radio? I was looking for some, but I think I'm looking in the wrong department, went looking at the Taxi CB Radio's & I can't actually afford in excess of $700 bucks --"

So where is a good place to get them radios from?
