the poor things that work retail jobs... COZ PEOPLE CAN'T STOP CONSUMING!
You should've seen the amount of people going up to My Dandy on Good Friday coz the shops weren't open... they don't know what to do with themselves!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
yeah... but they knew what to do on the sat !! it was like the shops were open for the first time in 6 months!!!

I'm so glad I'm not in retail anymore... wholesale is so much better! :P
So when can we do this cruise if not on Tues?

tell me about it. The place I work is open 24 hours usually. I've seen ppl LINE UP OUTSIDE AT 8AM the next day it's open... there's something wrong when you line up waiting to get into a shop...unless it's the Myer Stocktake sale on a few years ago where you could get 80% off tvs or something.. or when the VW dealership is selling R32's for $5000....(I wish!)
Yup, retail sucks.

Anzac day would be fine with me.....

Yeah I'm free too!!
But we need Christofu to be the Leader of the Pack! :P
:kiss You can all go without me if there's enough ppl to go... someone may want to check out the secondary cruise route if you're thinking of taking it - I haven't dirven it before and it may be boring.. I had a look in the Melways though, and it runs past the resevoir which could be a good place to stop and chill for a bit...
I'm not gonna give up a shift of double-time-and-a-half of doing not-much-at-all unfortunately!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
i'm in... im free anzac day too... normally im free pretty much only weekends and evenings though 🙂
haven't been on a cruise yet so it'd be good to get the bus in amongst it... it may have battle scars and not be the shiniest bus in the world... but it is a strong lil bugger and is well loved 😀

Hehe, yeah like this sound cool! There's a great lookout spot near the TV towers, it's better than the sky high place, or whatever they're styling that restaurant now (and it's free...). Not a huge amount of parking and kinda steepish and a two minute walk down a steep track, but phft, we'll be right hey!
Is anyone prepared to call it on or off?
C'mon Laus, call it on.. the people want, nay, neeed it! I'll be there in spirit....🥷

I have no idea, don't turn to me for leading! :P
Haven't thought much about this cruise even though I sooo want to do something Veedubbly.... tonight is Opeth and I'm too excited to think about much else! 😵💫:bounce😵💫:bounce😵💫:bounce😵💫
Have fun tomorrow guys....I've gotta be in the city for a comedy show at 5.30pm
They're predicting nice weather (last time I heard) should be sweet for a run 👍
I'll check back in tomorrow arvo after all the birthday jubilations are pretty much over...if I'm done and you've organised, I'll be there 🙂
Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.
:cry
I can't cruise today!!
Went and saw Opeth last night (was SO damn awesome!) and went back to the parking lot to go home, you think my PBB wanted to start? No!! 😠
Headlights weren't left on and still worked, battery wasn't flat, just nothing when I tried to turn her over. Poor Eden had to push her outside the parking lot (whicvh was full of people from the gig, how embarrassing!) as it was 11:55pm and they lock up at midnight. We even tried to roll start her but she didn't want to.
So we waited outside for 15mins in the freeeezing cold for the RACV dude to get there. He was a big fat dude with a plumbers crack bigger than the Grand Canyon... so what's the verdict? Starter motor, the only thing I haven't replaced as yet since owning the car. After a few knocks she starts up and we drop her off to mechanics at 1am. Not happy Jan!!
The day is perfect for cruising, trust my luck to make us miss out...
:cry
$100 - $120 for to get it recoed and you'll be fine Laura. If you get quoted more than that, send it my way and I'll get it done at the place I got mine fixed... it's in Burwood
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
laura, get a lift with whoever is leading, you can be navigator!

eerk
so is this the time we are planning for? 5 - 5:10pm at FTG Maccas?

Well, I don't know about YOU guys, but I went on a Dandy Run before work today... but not in a VW.. oh yes. Something 'better'..... a new BMW M-Roadster. It was only spoilt by the Sunday drivers.. on a tuesday.. I actually got to drive it too - and oh, does it hammer
343 brake horsepower, 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds - the Z4 M is a roadster with racing in its genes. Its naturally aspirated straight six is certainly no stranger to the podium: it's been a winner at the prestigious Engine Of the Year Awards five years in a row.
The engine is the heart of any performance car - but few beat as fast as the Z4 M Roadster's. Thanks to its optimised valve gear, this naturally aspirated straight six revs irresistibly all the way up to 8,000 rpm. A final drive ratio that's ideally matched to the high-revving engine ensures exceptionally rapid progress, with 100 km/h reached from standstill in just 5 seconds. What's more, 80% of the engine's peak torque is available from just 2,000 rpm.
=fun

Nice one Christofu!! 👍
So did anyone else do the cruise? Sorry I didn't.... so wanted to though. Maybe another day when PBB is feeling better.
Thanks Laws! Hows the PBB anyways? You gonna get a reco or brand spanker starter?
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
well we didn't make it... was too stuffed after driving to warrnambool and back.
It looked like nice weather for it tho
