Classic Celica Cruise in Canberra - 21 July 2007

[TWEETY]

OK for years we have been asked to arrange a Classic Celica Cruise here in Canberra, so due to the persistence of the CCG Classics we are asking who wishes to participate in a cruise in the not too distant future??? This will be our first Celica ONLY cruise as we have always invited all Yota makes and models to attend, but we are happy to oblige the Classics.

This time, its for 22/23/28 Celica owner to show thier interest and comitment for a Classis Celica only cruise. So please post here if interested and we will try to get one set up for all you who have hassled us! So far we have a yes from:
Mitch TA22 yellow + Chuck Wagon!
Sam TA22 purple
Seb TA22 black/red pearl
Simon (Slimmy) TA22 green
Jeremy TA22 Red
iBZ (DQIKST) TA23 yellow - Sydney (maybe?)
Matt W (Curly) RA23 white
Jamie RA23 red
Colin RA23 silver + RA28 silver
Matt B RA23 yellow (if regoed in time!)
Casey RA23 red
Chris RA28 green
Zane RA28 Blue
Jeremy TA22 Maroon
Matt L TA22 Green
Simon (Lambolica) RA28 GT (Sydney) Maybe / and maybe with River and his GT!

UPDATE - Starting at 2pm Sat arvo 21 July 2007 (the day prior to the CCG Dynoday!) We are meeting at the National Museum car park. Then cruise to a few locations for some pics. By then we will have a plan of attack with a list of locations to hand out etc.

If we havnt been able to catch up with some of the classic Celica guys so PLS call them to get them along to this inaugural event!

Depending on the timing I'm might even get a Celica registered just for this cruise.
(don't expect it to be flash or nothing).

So are we excluding RA40 owners?

What's classic about an RA40?

[jezz]

What's classic about an RA40?

An 18RG?

Thats about all i got at the moment.....

It just happens to be the only Toyota in my backyard that is registered.

Mitch,

Put an email out to all the folks in the club that should see some replies.

Cheers

Jeremy

[Chriph]

I'd be keen

[celicaboy_2000]

Count me & my 23 in, thats if it passes blue slip in time

[TWEETY]

The Lads just want to make this one a Classic run so only the 22/23/28s guys. Hopefully a good photo op too if we can get decent numbers. The last time we looked into this we had over 20 but could not work out an acceptable date so deferred till now.

We ave a heap of Classics in the CCG but they all take time to get sorted for a cruise so at this rate we are looking at mid July to allow enough time for people to get their rides ready/regoed etc. Happy for suggestions on location or cruise destinations too guys.
cheers
Mitch

[celicaboy_2000]

Im new to the area so I got no idea where a good cruise may take us! Is Batemans Bay a good trip? Im easy as long as we all meet up and cruise ill be happy

[Akaoni (Casey)]

My red TA22 and I are in.

hey everyone,

I brought this up again with Mitch, because there are a lot of mixed emotions going around the club (CCG) with members. I dont mean any disrespect to other members, its just oldschoolers have never really had a chance to show their full potential... a lot of the time because of people being disgruntled about it not even being the "celica group" any more.

One plan is to have a big cruise the night before our next Dynoday which is on Sunday July 22nd. Meet at a servo or big carpark somewhere, depending on numbers, then cruise around the city, hopefully get lots of looks, but not too much attention from the good old white and blue. Then meet back at a pub or club of some sort somewhere near the city, maybe Braddon, for a catch up and a few beers to chat about our machines, or typically what they might be one day... haha.

I reckon it would be so good to get out there in numbers and just have fun driving these things which is what its all about. There's nothing better than cruising around with other 22s/3s/8s and admiring each others cars. Then we can hit the Dyno on Sunday to punch out some numbers, or look stupid but hey its all fun. Not sure on specific plans yet, whether we'll have a barby somewhere or what, as we need some sort of idea for numbers. I know of about 5 or 6 that are coming for sure so far, but i know we can do better than that. Feel free to post or email me at wooshka_matt@hotmail.com, or get in contact with Mitch Sloan or Phil Eacott and we'll see if we can get this thing going. Sydney guys are more than welcome, as its not too often you get to come down for an event. Anyways hope to hear from a lot of you, its gonna be awesome!

Cheers,
-Curly.

curly,

can you please update your gallery on the CCG website, i was in canberra last year for summer nats and saw a whole heap of you guys meeting up i yelled out go the celicas, but i couldnt get down to make the meet,

also if my car is registered and i can find a licenced driver that i approve of i will try my best to come down,

thanks
iBZ

[Curly_23]

Haha, was that in Braddon cos i remember that? lol

Just looking for pics?

[DQIKST]

yeh thats the one, i spoke to the guy with the silver 23 18RG outside the place where the top 60 are, and didnt get to see the guy with the 1JZ 23 but had a ood look at his ride and watched it on the dyno,

oh tweety i got a TA23 mate if that makes a difference to any one,

[TWEETY]

Thanks for the input Curly. Always appreciated mate. Great to have you onboard Case.
Cmon Jeremy, how about a 7 day permit for your your NON RA40 Celica eh???

Opps sorry I thought you had a RA. Tell the lads that if they cant make Steve's cruise then they might want to come to ours. Id love to be able to make it but it just tooo far for us to travel to the Castle for a return trip on Sunday night. May need to look at a united cruise after TOYFEST and pull all the Classics together???
Cheers
Mitch

[DQIKST]

great idea mitch, will make note of it,

also my name is iBZ,

maybe you should make a thread about this in the nsw section and try to encourage some guys to head down,

i know some wont come out very often so it would be nice,

[jezz]

Cmon Jeremy, how about a 7 day permit for your your NON RA40 Celica eh???

Well that sounds like a challenge so you better get a firm date in hand so i can organize some sort of permit.

Looks like i will be bringing the new beasty.

[Curly_23]

Yeh Colin, his is nice as hey. Lot of work done. The CCG website hasnt been updated in ages though, you'd have to talk to Mitch cos im not even sure who does it. I have a few photos though, when i find them i can just post a few on here or something...

Mitch Phil Priest will be there, he said hes keen. Im making up flyers too cos there are a few guys going around that ive gotta tag, cos they've asked me before about the Celica Group. Do you know what happened to that young James guy? He drove a maroon 23 with an 18RC i think? Flared guards, had his L's on at a Nats cruise?

Im sure Grant will come too, along with some of the other regulars. Just gotta get an email out to them and im sure we'll get a crowd...

[YLD-16L]

....its just oldschoolers have never really had a chance to show their full potential... a lot of the time because of people being disgruntled about it not even being the "celica group" any more.

On behalf of the non-celica members - no offence taken, it didn't even make sense

Hope you guys get a good turn out for this.

[JustenGT8]

Having owned classic celicas, rollas, modern celicas, RAV4 and even a corona it doesn't bother me who wants to cruise with who.

If you want to go for a cruise with just your boyfriend or get all the homos together, go for it

The important thing is that all the toyo members stay in touch so that the 'critical mass' of people is there to make events the success they have been thus far
