themselves!

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.

: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!

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?

: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

town... 40 mins to get up there from Ferntree Gully Macca's (with time to spare) ... that may be a bit early for ppl if everyone's working...
eerk

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.
