yeah hopefully mine will be as well but ill only have it to show as i dont have my p's yet and dont want it to go very far.

fair enough. good luck with your test.
i remember going for mine, i was so nervous i got my left and right mixed up when he asked me to test the indicators....

a tip for driving without a license - don't put p-plates up. You're more likely to be pulled over with p-plates and it won't affect the penalty you get if you get caught.

hahahahaha a lot of my friends didnt have there p plates up cos of that but i got another 3 months till im ready to go for my p's but now its giving me a reason to but my cordz on the road

so anyone suggest a location?

perhaps somewhere where there are some nice windy roads and no speed cameras...

im thinking maybe eildon way. black spur on maroondah hwy has been re-surfaced and it is very nice

I've got a very exciting old HiPo map I can photocopy Probably more suited to night time though cos you really need to use thw WHOLE road to totally enjoy the roads. On the other hand I have another map that goes up to Emerald lake way, quite some noice scenery on the way, good for a day cruise.

well maybe we need to get some ideas up and rolling so we can figure out something.
eg what kind of things to do, where to go......

i actually have maps of the whole area on the computer/GPS in my other car from a previous cruise. It's damn useful, but i can't be bothered moving the whole setup into the cordia (actualy don't think the cordy's poor little batt / alternator will cope with a 700w inverter)

problem with the black spur, is it's up and down mountains, so u don't have much vision on corners, and trucks use the road also - even at night time. the plus is, never any cops.

Im not a fan of night-time cruises.. (call me soft) but those sort of roads can be pretty dangerous at night on windy roads, going fast.
--------

So, windy roads in country without heaps of trees/mountains blocking vision...

for ballarat members, perhaps somewhere out west. Maybe grampians or something. It's a 3hr drive from the city though

mscordia, edit your top post and start a list of general locations or routes.

as far as things to do, can't beat a day-trip with a BBQ lunch, if we're going out eildon way, plenty of bush, picnic areas.

it sounds like a very good idea maybe get everyone to put $2 in to pay for food and drink. if any melb guys have ideas feel free to post. ok so far
1. grampians with a BBQ
2. HiPo at night
3. black spur

I put in my 2 cents worth (more like $2 worth 'cos it took ages to type!) about a month ago in another thread about the lack of a Melbourne cruise.

You'll find it at:

Trouble with these things is that everone says they're keen but then only 1/4 of that number turn up on the day, for whatever reasons, and they take a bit of organising. Probably why not many come up!

I'll be in - it'll help put some faces to names. Just make it somewhere that I can test out my new Galant brakes.......

Grampians is a bit far I think, it could be done in Summer, more people will be enthusiastic to go out during the day and have a BBQ.

I vote 'Hills cruise' from OzStick's old post!
Sounds like fun.

yeah, gramps is too far.

Great ocean road! as per suggestion in the linked post. Coz it's winter, might not be the best coz it'll be windy as hell.

Well if we are heading up Belgrave way I can whip up a good map easy, I know the roads like the back of my hand as my ex lives up there and we always went for 'drives'.

great idea, i know the area, there are some nice roads. had to drive a few of the lesser used roads (some sealed, some dirt) once for hours at night, pouring rain and some were dirt roads, very windy. Much more fun driving the day! Also, most of those roads are unsuitable for police to use speed cameras on, so that's a bonus! Hopefully we can pick a day when it won't rain.

Im definantly in for this one, provided it isn't w/e of 12th/13th july or 19th 20th (as i'll be overseas)
