**MR_LON** · 11-06-2009, 09:33 PM

our july cruise will be up to marysville, reefton area.

MEET POINT
Sunday the 26th July
9.30am nice and easy. leave at 10am sharp.
Yarra bend BLVD melways map 45. A1.
We will then venture onto the eastern freeway, springvale rd & maroondah hwy stopping at healsville bakery for a refreshment stop and then on to Marysville & reefton. we will be stopping at the reefton hotel for a break, maybe even a late lunch. time & willingness permitting we will take mt donna buang rd back into healsville

WHAT TO BRING
* You and your car (obviously)
* CB comes in real handy so bring one if you can
* A full tank of fuel
* Camera and Video is a great idea too

The Fine Print
1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines
(no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...Any breaches will be reported to the local police.
2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.
There is also a designated cruise anchor that will stay at the back of the cruise. You must not overtake the cruise leader,
or fall behind the anchor. If you have to stop or drop back for what ever reason, the anchor will stay back with you.
3. Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.
4. CB Radios; if you don’t have one, follow the maps, and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.
5. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold ORSM FORD CRUISES, it’s Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers/Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it is your fault, not ours).

add you details if your coming along

there won't be a specific meet point in that area but you can slot into the que when we come past to save you having to double back

It is the Border Terrier from the movie - 'That Something About Mary'. It has a full body plastercast! These are the dogs I breed and show. I still love that movie.

Cheers
Gaela

A couple of quick questions, estimated finish time and also a mate of mine with a 6.3L AMG wouldn't mind tagging along. Is this ok?

The note from his car is just horn, is rocks. Hand built German V8. I love it!
Mercedes C63 AMG,

A 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine, 336 kW (457 hp), 600 Nm of torque, 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (Estate: 4.6 seconds), top speed limited to250 km/h – the specification and performance data of the new C 63 AMG speak for themselves.
