I'm coming along (of course).

I had a look at the meeting spot yesterday there's enough room for a hundred ovals. I also had a cruise along the old pacific hwy. It's nice and it's 70 all the way. Perfect for cruising.

C'mon how about a bit more enthusiasm from the forum members.

CYA, CT:bounce

It was good catching up to you and craig today Sam with Azza (RipplyBulldog - BLK56) in at the foreshore. It is a top spot for anyone not familiar with Newcastle (Sydneysiders) it's definately worth the drive as their is literally 1000's of local cars going around, around, and around. Strangely half of them had the hottest chicks driving. Of course theirs the odd tyre smoking dickhead but other than that its a beautiful spot to stop a cruise.

At this stage Sam, management has canned to idea of the Dog-O-War' and I being able to make as other plans have been made months ago but there is a will so hopefully I can find a way.

The_Bronze. ·

I was finally able to get this pic out of may camera.

VWFOOLS' Oval Behind the Dog-O-War behind James' 57 in New Beetle Envy.

If I had to choose one I'd still have the one with Mud all over.

VWFOOL ·

hey steve
hope u can make it anyway.
i picked my car uyp from ur house this afternoon, needed a new battery.
u hav a really nice old neighbour on ur right hand side dont u, lol, she blew my head off for blocking her driveway (which i wasnt).
if u cant make it can i perhaps borrow ur digital camera?
can u send me the pics from sunday at the foreshore as 800x600 jpgs to my email?
thanks steve...

speedster 356, thats the best avatar i hav ever seen!!!

speedster356 ·

For all those that can't make it I'll try to set up a video and still picture show using the web cam on my site, all you will have to do is log on at a spacific time and sit back and enjoy the cruizin. I'll get plenty of footage and digital stills on the day. I think it'll work....
Yeah the avatar war is hotting up........😀

[Edited on 3-12-2002 by speedster356]

VWFOOL ·

damn, and i cant even get my avatar to show up!
look forward to seeing u there in ur speedster, think i can hav a cruise in it?

OvalGlen ·

OK, Thanks for the details again.
I am looking forward to coming.
Only hassle now is negotiating the time.
I'll definately be there at the start, may not get whole day though - the trade off my be too large for this VW addict to deal with. (like no garage time till after Christmas....)🙂 :cry

VWFOOL ·

look forward to seeing u there glen, and another Oval

The_Bronze. ·

At this stage I might be able to show up for a while. I dunno when or where but you should see me somewhere during the day. Don't forget to come up and say hi whether your from the forum or not.

I have a work party in the afternoon from three (back at Gosford) but it will be going for hours into the night so it won't matter when I get there. More importantly I have friends who are having a birthday party same time as you kick off. Might have to negotiate somthing with them or Sal, either way I want to go because there nice folks and we don't get to visit people much.

:vader Yeah Sam, my neighbours are pretty sweet eh? Pay no attention to them. They just like to throw coins into the gearing of happy families. Where you parked the other day she had her Grand-daughter park there for a full year and her daughter parked there for three months at least. If she can't get out through there then she shouldn't have a licence. It was cool where you parked. Everyone who visits here parks there and the most they can do is send me a letter, oooh, spank me baby!

Thanks for the flyer. The carpark is actually a different one to the one I was thinking about when you were describing the bridge so lucky you dropped it over. All going well Azza will be coming with me Sunday, so if your reading this Azza, your coming.

I emailed you those pics but they went to your other email. I will pass them on through the email above when I check my mails.

Cheers big ears! :thumb

VWFOOL ·

steve, no worries, all the newcastle dubs should b cruisng together to the meeting spot, i know the way, we wont get lost...

OvalGlen ·

My club- Flat Four - will be meeting at Pennant Hills McDonalds at 9am , might have to cruise around and around and around Thornleigh , Normanhurst , Hornsby , Mt Colah and get there comfortably for 11am.
See you There.....🙂.......

speedster356 ·

The Old Pacific Hwy is closed today due bush fires, hope things are a bit quieter on sunday?

[Edited on 5-12-2002 by speedster356]

penguin ·

So when will the definitive comment on if the run is on come out?
I am heading over to the Flat Four point Sun morn, so is someone willing (Sam?) to make a 'd' on Sat night/Sun Morn <8:30am?

Penguin

VWFOOL ·

my dad tried to get home from syd last night (thurs) and the hwy was closed. from wat i saw on the news, the bush to the north of the hawkesbury river is alight. as far as i know, thats pretty close to the meeting spot, but im not 100% sure.
if anyone knows anything else about it let me know. as far as whether the cruise is on, giv me or CT a call on sat night, early sunday morning to find out for sure.
if the hwy is open and safe, then there should be no worries and it will go ahead as planned, if its closed, then ofcourse it will hav to be rescheduled for a later date after xmas i guess. i will hav to talk to CT.
anyway, giv us a call sat night and we should know for sure.
lets pray everything goes well over the weekend for everyone involved...

sam

VWFOOL ·

i will post here on sat night with the final decision.
as i said, if the hwy is open and safe, it will all go ahead, otherwise we will reschedule...

hope all goes well....:thumb

OvalGlen ·

I'll be going for cruise Sun morning no matter what. Just hope its with a bunch of other enthusiasts.
God's speed Fireries.🙁

Grey 57 ·

Have a good oval cruise you guys. Stay outta harms way too. Wish I could be there.
Dean

penguin ·

Yeap,
I'll be there now regardless (work can't catch me now 🙂)
But as I told Sam, I will be hiding in the background with the subie (the 'step child' is getting the rust taken care of )

Penguin

Secoh ·

I didnt see this as I dont have an oval, so I didnt read the post till now....I'll make it to the foreshore when you guys get there! Keep an eye out for the Mustard Menace 😀

fullnoise ·

The Ovals Only Curise has been cancelled due to fires and deteriorating weather tomorrow.

Sam and I are planning to reschedule the cruise to February.

SO DON'T TURN UP TOMORROW BECAUSE THE FREEWAY WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSED.:cry

[Edited on 7-12-2002 by fullnoise]

The_Bronze. ·

We can't cruise anyhow as I broke the clutch cable this arve but we'll see all you locals in at the foreshore later in the arvo. Sal and I will be in with The Bronze buggers about 1430hours. Hope to catch up with Sam and James Yellow Oval (VWFOOL) and NB Envy 57'.

Feb is a much better time of year anyhow.

Secoh ·

wurl, I rocked up to the foreshore at 2ish not having been able to get online till now, and not a dub to be seen 🙁

oh well, maybe next time....

penguin ·

Weel
i saw Glen this morning at the Maccas over at Pennat Hills. (I will send you a note soon mate, haven't transferred it over, but will do tonight).
Prrof I am getting dumber as I get older, I completely missed the note saying it was off last night. But Oh well, got to see Glens Oval, so it wasn't a waste 🙂
Hoe all are well, and look forward to Feb, maybe (doubt it though) Step Child will be ready (heavily doubt it)
Penguin

penguin ·

Ooops
two much beeeerrrrr
can't spill (or spell) :P

VWFOOL ·

my internet server has been down for a few days, so im glad CT was able to notify everyone of the cancellation of the cruise.
we did hav some great rsponse from VW owners who wished to participate, so we will definetly reschedule for a later date, mught alos giv some more oval owners a chance to get their cars on the road.
as for sunday, a few VWs and I had a small BBQ at the foreshore out of a Kombi camper, was excellent weather and plenty of cars out. a few VWs came past but didnt pull up, Secoh, i got a feeling u might hav been there 30 mins too early, we were there close to 3pm.
anyway, thanks for the all the support everyone and we will keep u posted...
hope everyone had a safe weekend.
