Xmas Lights Cruise 20th Dec

Paddy71 · 10-12-2007, 09:52 PM

I guess many of you will have departed the region or at least be getting ready to head off for the Xmas break.

However, who's up for a Christmas Lights Club Cruise on the evening of Thursday 20th Dec?

I'll do a little research and come up with a meeting point and start time depending on where the majority of the good ones are.

I beleive i will be here and would love a drive. The street next to mine ussually puts on a good show.

**data_mine** · 11-12-2007, 01:07 AM

Yep, 20th is good for me.

vampire · 11-12-2007, 02:52 PM

Me too... I love pretty lights...

XA-MONT · 12-12-2007, 12:28 AM

i might be able to come if you guys will have me

i get back from a few days away with the missus (bit of an early christmas because im working chrissy day) on the thursday so it should be good.

I had a look on 106 for the Chirstmas light list, but its not up just yet. I think they are only taking registrations.

Just went on a Xmas light cruise with PROUTES ( 12 cars ) just around south canberra, some great houses out their with heaps of lights very slow getting around them though... The cruising cars looked just as good as the lights..

Fingers cross for you mate.

Bucknaked · 16-12-2007, 08:49 AM

Whats it been now, 2 or 3 months in the workshop? One way to keep the k's down I guess. Not the preferred way.

**data_mine** · 16-12-2007, 06:16 PM

If it's leased you don't want to keeps the K's down.

xargon · 16-12-2007, 10:24 PM

Thursday is lookin' good. A little tinsel and a reindeer or two on the V8s would just about do the trick to lighten up Santa's show ponies. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Yeah, we can carry the weight without any performance detriment (all that V8 torque).

genebaby · 18-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Any word on a start time/place for this one?

Paddy71 · 19-12-2007, 12:11 AM

Having spoken to some who did a similar cruise last week, I suggest we set off about 8.30pm. Its a pretty slow haul down some streets and most get turned off about the 10.30pm mark.

Route is still to be decided. What's the preference; North or Southside. We wont have time to do both.......majority vote will win.

**data_mine** · 19-12-2007, 12:29 AM

We getting a poll? If not, I don't care, either side of town (but if it comes down to a vote - north side).

DaveGod · 19-12-2007, 01:11 AM

Same as chris, but North if i had the option i guess.

GTPford · 19-12-2007, 07:35 PM

: To all, we are out its back in the shop (we have a focus for Xmas) wishing all a Merry christmas and a Great 2008.

will catch up with you all next year! have fun on the cruse

best wish's Dane & Diane

xargon · 19-12-2007, 08:13 PM

I deeply regret that I am a late scratching from this event. Thursday evening is the only chance I'll have to go Xmas shopping with my daughter. Good luck with the cruise and happy new to all. See ya next year.

Paddy, I have penciled in the meeting at the Deakin Club on about the 17 Jan 08.

andrew rose · 19-12-2007, 09:52 PM

Dave, is the date you have for the 17th Jan the meeting that I am attending with you for the ACT council that we volunteered for last meeting.

Rosie.

Paddy71 · 19-12-2007, 10:58 PM

Ok guys, lets go for Street Machine Central (Shell Epic) at 8pm for a Northside Cruise departing about 8.30pm.

I'm still working out a route,....she'll be right.

I will try to be there. We are out in Hall tomorrow avo with the little one, so hopefully I can get away in time to take her home for bed and then come back.

Paddy71 · 21-12-2007, 12:35 AM

Not a bad run at all. Thanks to all those that came along

**data_mine** · 21-12-2007, 12:53 AM

Good run, good set of route planning. Next time a map reading light

i agree was a good run.

perhaps you could even enter the 21st century (says the guy with the 31 year old car

: ) and get a GPS :P

big.glenn · 21-12-2007, 01:22 AM

Thanks everybody who turned up for a good run... I didn't know you could go so far north west and still be in the ACT... I'm sure I could see Murrunbateman Pub at one stage..
