Open to anyone who owns a oldskool celica (Pref pre 78 but i'm sure we cood sqeeze the odd Ra40 in thereThere has been much talk over the last couple of months about gathering our celicas together for a meet n greet/ cruise, so here it is.
Date: Saturday 16th Sept
Time: 4pm for a 4:30 dept
Meet at: Carpark off Powis St freeway offramp (Blind Society i think it is)
Maps will b available on the day.
Hope to see a good turn out for the first of this type of event (I think) in WA.
Ahhhhh, you've gone for the 16th!
Well, at least that doesn't clash with the MaxAction event. Could be a busy car weekend, with this, Clint's coffee convergence on the Sunday morning and then the OST MaxAction team in the afternoon.
I'll see if I can Mitch.T along (if he doesn't see this himself), some of the other guys he knows like Stepho, etc. I don't think Ian Dawsons rotary TA22 will be street legal by then.
There were a few pre-80's Celicas at the OST BBQ cruise earlier this year, so hopefully some of those guys hear about it.
Is it a similar cruise format to previous cruises? Be good to get the chance to form a bit of a decent convoy on along the way and stop for some good photo shots - if there's more than just SPIDA and MISFIT there that is![]()
Count me in, I can't let a real old Toyota cruise pass by.

Awesome Gene, I tried to make a date that would not clash with other events. I pm'd Mitch a little while back about it so hopefully he can tag along too.
As for format, its really going to be get as much interest as possible and focus it more on meet and greet and photoshoot rather than a full on cruise. Just for the first one anyway.
Pfft Pre '78 ;P
Cannot go anyways 16th is Colbs birthday, so taking her out. Even if I could get away with "surprise! I'm taking you on a cruise!" I dont fancy being able to get a woman 7 months pregnant into the RA40.![]()
RA40 Coupe - Even more Turbo beating ponies.

Yeah, I was trying to "gloss" over the exclusion of your RA40, which is cool and the pre-78 thing, but I guess it's to try and get all those Mustang style and coupe early model Celicas together.
The TA22 isn't too good at transporting the elderly, pregnant or non-contortionists (if that's how you spell it) either. Taking my Mum and her sister to hospital once was an experience, being slightly larger ladies![]()
I've given up on trying to drive more than 3 of us to lunch at work too in the TA22 - I need my leg room and the poor sucker who sits behind the driver ends-up with their legs around their ears![]()

Yea I mite just throw a PM his way and see.
I will be there, with the RA28, just got the roof lining redone and it has come up a treat.
soon as this cruise is done its of to the panelbeaters for those pesky spots of rust in the doors and hatch to be done properly.
Man!!! One of my mates is a PAIN! He always lets me know about things very late.
He's inviting me to a birthday at exactly the same time - grrrrrrrr! I've already missed a couple because he's let me know too late and been unable to go.
How are you going for numbers MISFIT?
Just trying to decide which allegiance to go with :-(

Hey guys.
I contacted Simon over the weekend to notify him of the cruise, and he replied saying, "He will see if he can make it"
Enjoy the cruise

Bugger!! I always wanted to go on a 1st gen celica cruise. Unfortunately I started stripping my car a few weekends ago![]()
Ah carn Gene.. u know friends will always be there after the cruiseTHats a shame Dave, but hopefully if this one is successful then there will be future 1st gen cruises.
****Also the car park is Lake Monger Reserve, not the Blind Society (maybe used to be)***
As for numbers i'm not quite sure.... wot about Mitch T?
