4WD Toymods Cruise....Trial Run

[Toyo Truck]

erk,
I just realised that the 24th = Saturday (sorry dude),
is actually VOTING Day. So I guess it will have to be SAT Arvo/SAT night,
or Sunday (25th) for the trip??

What are ya thoughts guys??

Cheers,
Bart

[TooF]

sat arvo would be better, im kind of already booked for some mr2 fun on the sunday

[Toyo Truck]

problem is, with where we are going, if you start late, you usually end late,
which i am all for, night missions rock-on but to the newer guys, this might seem
a little too much?

What do you think guys, let me know what you are keen for.

Cheers,
Bart

[TooF]

how late is late ? given its still light until 7pmish

[Toyo Truck]

Allright guys,

No one has gotten back to me as of yet, so I will start sending out PM's to everyone.

Got some bad news tho. The lux ain't gonna be making the trip up to the Wattos.
Due to a business restriction on me by the RTA for not paying bloody parking fines,
I cannot get my truck re-rego'd by this weekend. But this trip is still on for those
who are keen. I will be heading up in my mates Troop carrier if we still go ahead.


Cheers,
Bart

so meeting at the northbound maccas on the twin servos sounds fine to me.

[Toyo Truck]

Problem is Toof,
My mate can only go on Sunday as he's gotta vote Saturday, and is going out on
Sat night. So can you make it Sunday??

Cheers,
Bart

[TooF]

Bart

[Toyo Truck]

[Sprinter-Saurus]

I doubt I'm gonna be able to make it now, I have to work a 1/2 day tomorrow, and then spend the rest of the weekend getting my Sprinter ready for a re-tune on Tuesday and then 2 track days on the 1st and 8th of Dec.

I doubt it would happen, but if I damaged anything on the Hilux if I took it out I'd be absolutely kicking myself as the Hilux is also my tow car.

I'll definitely be up for the next outing though.

[Toyo Truck]

OK guys,

Heading out tommorrow morning,
But unfortunately most of the Toymods people can't come
so I have renamed this the Toymods 4WD Cruise - Trial Run
as we will be re-running this cruise properly when I have my truck
back and everyone else on here can come.

I will write up a full cruise report and post up some pics sometime tommorrow
evening when we get back to Sydney.
Lots of rain has fallen on the tracks, so theres gonna be ALOT of mud around to
get the trucks dirty, and they are gonna be hella slippery so its gonna be a great day
out.

Make sure you come to the next one guys, if you can't make it to this one.
You are missing out on a great Toymods adventure!!

Cheers,
Bart

for those comeing we will meet here

he Killingsworth trip is around a 2 hour trip. I think we should all try to arrive at the petrol station at Wallsend (in Newcastle) by at least 10:30am. Therefore for anyone travelling from Sydney, this means a 9:00am start (at least) for the two hour drive down the freeway.
Depending on how many cars come the trip may be longer or shorter. Lunch will be at West Wallsend, where there’s a great little take-a-way shop called Blue Bells. From there we will do Mt sugar loaf and some train tunnels which should take up the rest of the day. Standard Jimny's shouldn't have any trouble getting around any of the tracks as there are many chicken tracks.

Having a UHF radio would be good because car to car communication is sometimes needed. If anyone has spare UHF radio’s, just bring them along.

For those that want to bring video or still camera, it will make for a great day.

What I would like to known, is how many people are actually interested in coming?
Knowing what to expect would be good?

I will be at the Service Station from around 10:00am, and my UHF will be set on channel 25. Here we can introduce ourselves, fill up, and get ready for the day.
My mobile no# is 0404059909 and my name is Ilija, but everyone calls me IB.

Below is a map showing you the Newcastle Link Road exit, which comes straight after the Cardiff exit. Once on the Link road you will travel through four round-a-bouts and end up at the service station on your left, this is where I will from 10:00am from around.
