Nice photo Bob, and that ADM R32 looks great.

The first half of the trip was wonderful.

That off-road part really surprised me tho... Like.. RRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLY...

TBH I did freak out a bit, when I finished the off-road part I was about to cry.

It had all sorts of crazy noises around the car even after we head back on normal road.

But after almost an hour of high way road all the noises have gone, the wind must blew all the sands, dust and small rocks away, hope there is nothing wrong with the car.

Still... a great day with a bit of terrifying.

Thanks mate....... Yeah..... I did feel for you.

It was like wearing a beautiful new pair of Italian leather shoes right into a cow paddock of poo........

Anyway, hoping all is well with your car. I'm sure there won't be any rally sectors next run!

Bob.

Hey everyone, thank you all so much for coming along. I really had a great time and I'm hoping everyone enjoyed it as much as I did =) I do apologize for springing the off road section up on everyone. My heart was in the right place and I hope you all realized that. I promise there won't be any off road sections in future cruises.

Although we didn't hit the 40 cars target, a great show of numbers and all great looking cars. Bob, I appreciate you and your friend bringing the ADM's. I know it hurts to put some mileage on those cars. "Edifier," my sincerest apologies to you and your car =( Though I am glad you came along and showed her off =) Hope to see you and everyone else at the next cruise!

Some of the shots I took from the day

Will be looking forward to the next one

[RBrennan25]

Yeah it was a great day, good bunch of people too, I got to have a chat to pretty much everyone and they were all really friendly. Already been looking into an ARB raising kit for the next cruise haha jk Danny. Got a couple of pics so I'll chuck them on but thanks for a great day everyone

Also was good to see that VR36 there too it's a really nice looking car, I hope your little one didn't make too much of a mess in the back haha

Go home Honda you're drunk

[Humbla]

Ha ha,you guys are soft that dirt road looks like a highway compared to the dirt roads

I encounter on a regular basis. :-)

At JLM ATM, things are not looking good, all sorts of cracks and bents around body , the front bumper and lip crecked, rear diffuser bented now. Going to have a look under the car now., hope nothing mechanically wrong.

[Edifier]

Rear diffuser and Exhaust gone, it's leaking now, have to change now. Looking around 5000+ to fix now

[GTR-N1]

Were you guys given Google Maps of the route as recommended in Post #2?

Any warnings given about off-road section?

Any consideration via pre-planning for low slung cars?

In fact, any briefing offered at the outset?

Receiving multiple PMs of complaint (at Exec level) has not been good.

[CARSICK]

I heard about risky overtaking at the previous cruise down the Megalong > didn't want to be part of this one...

Eugene aka JDM Performance can be PM'd about a replacement front splitter Jun. He's got a couple spare.

[deongster]

Was at JLM with Jun earlier - The rear exhaust flange was hit hard - and bend the rear flange... car been left there to check further if that would impact anything else to the system... The rear diffuser - bent as well as the flat part of the diffuser bent and scratched pretty badly... Front Lip chipped paint and the part where it locks to the bumper cracked...

Overall the trip was ok in the beginning - But the offroad section we were not informed off - I think that was the main issue as we all were not informed, we could have chosen not to participate in the offroad section...

Also would have needed a sweeper that knows the locations at the back of the group... That would help in avoiding people from getting lost.. Jun, My friend Gavan and myself was left behind after lunch, was slow as i had to put my kid into the car seat and Jun was blocked by another car - Gavan and myself waited for Jun before we joined back with the group further up - we just did a guess and drive moment there...

Either way - after much consideration, i just wanted to mention the above so that the next cruise could be arranged better...

[gavanchua]

Was at JLM earlier. Saw the blue vspec2. Didn't look good. Could had been avoided if we did not head the offroad section. Infact there should have been a choice given to those that attended the cruise if we wanted to head off road or not.
