-- May Official Cruise --- Classic Celica Appreciation Day 24th. ALL CARS WELCOME

[MR22ZZ]

Such a random trip home, ran into Jak i think in a citroen C3 back on Old Windsor road & then came on to the Hume Highway at the cross roads to be greeted with tweety & the canberra guys going past. Pretty sure you guys left a fair bit before me & I didn't use the M7 so no idea how I managed that. Dylan, Paul & me were stuck behind the Caravan for ages.

lol... is that who was in the Citroen (was it blue?) pointing and smiling on the way home?

[TRD184]

shouldnt go to these events anymore, they make me hate my car

[Quincy1874]

Thanks to all involved. We enjoyed our first Celica Cruise. We were in the Yellow/Mustard original ra23, tall fella with a beard, wife, and 2 young kids running around. We had a good run over Bells line of Road (home and back), maybe a cruise to Lithgow is an idea??

Was great to meet some of you, and looks like we are already making plans for Broke.

Hi,

Yes, she did like them and found they were actually useable.

She then said she wanted to come home with me 'cos I got fender mirrors, and despite how attractive she was, I said "Nahhh, you better go home with your husband. I'll make sure he gets some fender mirrors for his car"
