Hi everyone, i would love to come along as well if all goes well with buying a used 08 Toyota Aurion. I was wondering if any of the Toyota club member who drive an Aurion would be able to assist me in ensuring I get a good deal. Please send me a pm if you are able to help. I have been talking with Melb City toyota and some other ones. I love the Aurion feel so I deintely want to get that. Just newbie questions that I hope someone can help with i.e. insurance, getting mods for aux, usb and blue tooth etc. Please feel free to send me a pm if you can help.

[jeffy]

good luck with that aurion buy ! - i dont drive an aurion .. soo unfortunately i cant help you with that :3

but there are heaps of other members that do drive em, just wait till they have a read of this, or start a thread in members intro :)

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?

Supercheap auto. you can pick up a decent CB radio for under 100 easily with around 5km range which is fine for cruises.

[fillit]

Coming tonight Jeff?

[Cee-Lo]

More info on those CB radios that SCA sell?

[iVaz]

Cookies :) 20th of November, is now booked in for me, just waiting on more info from you guys :)

I can finally come to one of these meet's --"

Why don't we also have a Melbourne Cup meet @ Melbourne Cup?

Winner of the horse races, shouts us all MUAHHHHHAAHAHAAHH (jokes)

But yeah, already saw the Winton one...

[Tash]

Just working out the finer details of doing this.. Where would we meet up in the morning do you think? Just trying to work out the rough timings of how long the round trip to/from Bendigo will be. If you keep going from Port Campbell to Warrnambool we will have to break off from there cos there's just too much distance to cover. Looking at around 9 hours already from Bendigo - Geelong - Warrnambool

warrnambool is abit far, i think apollo bay is manageable, there's also marengo which is less packed.

[dwee.]

Don't believe we should go all the way to Warrnambool, it is too far and will be too long of a day, especially for those who live further out; please keep that in mind. :)

I propose we go to either Lorne or Apollo Bay for lunch (we went to Apollo Bay last time and it worked out fairly good). To that end, we would be able to catch up or talk more, opposed to be driving most of the time.

My 2 cents. :)

Thank goodness Wasn't sure whether we were intending on doing the whole distance or not. I don't believe I have been to marengo..

That sounds like a great idea to me, then we can either go back the same way to Geelong or what not. As the last meet-up for the year and essentially our Christmas break-up (unless there is another Friday night meet or something) I'll definitely be up for catching up with people more than driving all day :) Plus it sounds as if there'll be some more new members along so don't want to get too carried away with the driving. I better get some candy canes or something organised hehehehe

[69.NIX]

I'm riding shotgun / photo man with someone :)

[iVaz]

I Agree, Lorne is the best length for the trip!

[johnnieboi]

Yeah rule warnambool out guys. Its a full days worth of driving to get there and a 'hammered' drive to get back home. Lorne sounds like a good choice. GOR route is so FTW

marengo is about 10minutes from apollo bay, imo the stretch between lorne and apollo bay is some of the best driving roads.
