Cruise in the next few days - melb

oval TOFU · 2005-12-21T23:33:33+00:00

Ok you christmas elves, time to stop helping santa and help your vw's feel a part of the celbrations! Who's up for a cruise in the next few days? It'll be good to get one going before the new year is upon us.. then have another one straight after in the new year! I know everyone is busy, so I'm just putting the word out and we'll see if we can all agree on a date and place. For the locale', I'm thinking... a Mt Dandenong cruise in the late arvo so we can catch the sun set over the city? Or through the nice forest canopies of Belgrave? Or perhaps a cruise down to the beach and just hang out? (well, just chillin' coz I don't want anyone to 'hang out'. I mean, speedos should only be worn by guys in the pool by serious swimmers, not for recreational use; unless it's under ya wetsuit, then it's ok) So what do all of ya think? (about the cruise, not the speedos.. though, your thoughts of da speedos are welcome too..) :P

🙁 I might not be able to make it, it all depends on what time the man gets home from work and whether he fixes my handbrake for me when he gets home 🙁
eeeekkk!

Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

HAHA ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Found the problem! I had blocked the crankcase breather hose connection with a bit of rag, hadn't taken it out :duh
Seems to be fine now. I'm going to drive down to the servo to get some juice and air. Hopefully no more issues.

Seems good now, I had the timing a bit too advanced, backed it off, has more power now.
Still running a little too hot. Making progress though 🙂

take ya deck lid off! If you got oil leakingont ya exhaust, it can seem like it's running hot coz it's just burning the oil.. Good to hear it's on its way though..

I have hoodjax and a pair of standoffs but I have never fitted either.
I should nip down to bunnings and get the long bolts so that I can use the standoffs.

noooooooooo! if it's just your hand brake, you don't really it, just park it in gear! If it's only the handbrake issue - you should still come! perhaps we can have a look at it at Maccas?

Bugger.... wanted to go, but had a big night last night and am sooooo tired. When I remembered that today is Wednesday, not Tuesday like I thought all day (thanx to Egeworks SMS! :kiss) it was already past 6:45pm. I know I could have met up with you along the route, but I didn't think it wise to drive about on 4 hours sleep.....

.... so can we go on another cruise soon....? I wanna take sunset photos!🥲

yeah, we'll have to have another one soon!! One that I can actually go on too 🙁
it seems that the left rear brake adjuster is jammed on my car, wont budge....it's apparently a three person job, so we need at least one other person here when we attack it again :S

Hope you guys had fun though!!!

We had a good time. There was a bit of concern at the beginning with two water pumpers, and our super beetle. It looked like the water was going to have a good show, then four more aircooled beetles turned up. Giving a total of one Golf GTI, One NB Cabrio and five old beetles of various ages.

We went to Bayswater Maccas 🙁
Lots of "fully sick" rides there, yeah right.... 😂
Heard a few burnouts, not too eventful there though.

Went down Sheffield Rd on the way there, got some serious g forces down one big hill, totally unexpected with all the fumes I had inhaled.
