VIC Meet & Greet?

Fled74 · 04-06-2006, 03:15 AM

I know there was a cruise earlier this year, but a lot of us haven't got the time for a long drive (as much as we'd love it). Would anyone here from VIC be interested in a meet & greet? Grab a bite, swap some stories/details, and take lots of photos?

I think it would be good fun

Danny · 04-06-2006, 02:46 PM

Yeah, but not just for the Fez owners, We have a great bunch of Focus guys as well (Except for matt hahahah) who'd be happy. And lets not forget the mondeo boys...

I think the Vic's need to improve their game a bit. Last NSW Euroford cruise consisted of over 15 cars.

xurbanx · 04-06-2006, 03:41 PM

I'm in! As long as it doesnt clash with my exam timetable I'm up for it (:

Cruise? HAHAHAHAHHA

There were three cars! It was more like a drive into the mountains....

Would be great if people actually committed to coming. We could easily have 15 cars and more, If only people would come!

Once I get my bloody kitchen in and finished, I'll be there

OZXR4 · 04-06-2006, 10:23 PM

I have settled in to my new job and have more cash now than I know how to blow it. so count me in I am good for weekends and school holidays. I have started to enquire about some new mods for the car too. Show me the money.

FOCUSonTHIS · 07-06-2006, 03:54 PM

I'm in for sure. Since joining the club I have attended every club event....so I can now add another to the list :P

zetec · 07-06-2006, 10:36 PM

OK gang I've been working damn hard for a couple of months and avoiding everyone but Adam on the odd occasion.

We floated the idea of a Drive-In night in Coburg to see either "Cars" or "Fast N the Furious - Tokyo Drift" which means it won't involve too much driving, won't cost more than $20 including ticket and the obligatory Maccas dinner and would be a sensational night out for all.

By now Adam is on the floor trying to gather his breath after realising that I have finally posted what I've been talking about for over a month!

I'll post up a thread with a poll shortly once I get details of what movies and when they're planned, their website at the moment isn't very helpful and isn't telling what movies are coming, only what's there now.

All up expect some time in late June or early July, $14 per head from memory for the ticket, We'll meet up somewhere nearby (I'll scope it all out) and drivei n together, then enjoy the night. Been on club drive-in nights before and it's sensational fun.

That's one plan, low cost for all and not taking up a whole day which means we have the chance to get quite a few of us there!

Beyond that, we'll start planning some more drives on weekends for the more adventurous, but only as long as more than the same 3 people turn up to each event.

Stephen, you can hopefully come along with Angus and family to the drive-ins, not renovating at night are you?!?!!

Talk to you all soon on a thread nearby!

Yes Matt about time. I'm glad. How dedicated is Matt? He even sent me a text message to tell me he posted this. So please attend as Matt and I would love to meet newbies and also catch up with the rest of the club.

Hope to hear from you all soon

Fast Eddie · 08-06-2006, 04:53 PM

Hey Zetec,

How's it going?? BTW There should be a movie called "Fast N The Furious - Zetec's Rally of Canberra Drift"!!!! I'd pay money to see that.

G'day too, FOCUSonTHIS.

FOCUSonTHIS · 08-06-2006, 05:08 PM

Hello to you too Fast Eddie,

I still got the disc full of the pictures and videos from Rally of Canberra. So message me you address and I will send it to you

zetec · 08-06-2006, 08:46 PM

Eddie mate, I'd pay for that video too!!!!!!! It was the most fun I've EVER had in 3 years of owning my car! Serriously good fun.

The drive-in is a great idea (I won't have to take too much time away from the wife and kid). Please keep us posted on further developments.

xurbanx · 19-06-2006, 06:44 AM

I'm definitely up for this! It'll be my first drive-in and I'll be excited!

melbzetec · 19-06-2006, 12:53 PM

Steady on Helder. we don't want you getting TOO excited at the drive-in

Fled74 · 19-06-2006, 09:37 PM

Anyone from VIC ever been to Calder Park Raceway? A meet there would be awesome.

Nizmat · 20-06-2006, 12:02 AM

so ill bring her car :P

zetec · 20-06-2006, 11:22 PM

Awesome.

I promise promise I'll arrange this in the next few days and we'll be looking within the next month.

OZXR4 · 29-06-2006, 03:00 PM

I am getting itchy feet, when is this thing going to take place. I want to get out on the roads. and catch up with everyone.

zetec · 06-07-2006, 12:56 AM

Sorry guys, I'm not on here very much these days, kinda fallen out of the habit and subsequently forget the forums...

Alright. Official word on the street.

www.fordxr5turbo.com are having a cruise along the Great Ocean Road on July 23rd (that's a Sunday). I have posted that I will be going, they will have one of almost every colour vehicle. Will be the first Vic meet of XR5 Turbos I believe.

I will be there with my 3 door Mk I, showing off the heritage of the Focus!!

At this stage, details are as follows. Will confirm over the next week as they finalise.
http://www.fordxr5turbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=396.0

I'm also proposing that we do a drive-in night the night before, on Saturday 22nd. That way if you can attend one or the other, we get to see you and your car over the weekend! I'll start separate threads on each so we can arrange them as 2 separate cruises and invite the XR5 Turbo guys to our drive-in!

OZXR4 · 06-07-2006, 10:31 PM

At this stage I will go to the drive-in night. As for the GOR cruz i will decide in the coming weeks. Have a car repayment that time of the month, and the car needs a major service soon.

Zetec06 · 07-07-2006, 08:03 PM

You can pretty much count me in for most things organised local, I've never met another Focus owner in the flesh... It'd be good to meet you all

FOCUSonTHIS · 07-07-2006, 08:31 PM

Well im in for everything you know that Matt. I attend all events.....except hotham :(

Fled74 · 10-07-2006, 05:33 PM

Damn, I work on weekends at the restaurant.

Miyagi · 10-07-2006, 11:45 PM

Hi Lads,

U guys up for rolling with some XR5Ts down the GOR? If so come sign up here.

Cheers,
Miyagi

zetec · 20-07-2006, 10:05 PM

I'll be going to that one guys and girls, should be a cracking good day!!!

xurbanx · 20-07-2006, 10:33 PM

I can't afford to pay for the Fiestas registration despite securing a weekend job. However, I'll ask mum if I could borrow her Focus for the night. It's all a 50/50 toss-up.
