Yeah, again it was very well done to keep everyone together, made it more of a club cruise instead of a car here and a car there cruise!

Thanks Guys
The Idea was to have a cruise with everyone together .... It seemed to work very well , and with jason being at the rear then it worked out good
and if next time we could get more people to bring UHF s then it will make is easier again

Great cruise, so ****ed off I had to leave halfway through the barbie, but I couldn't say no to $40 an hour... Next time i'm in for the whole thing...

It was fun in the forest tho...

I like to make sure no one gets lost, and I usually have tools in my boot to assist if anyone broke down.

I think we need to look at possibly arranging a group buy of UHF's to try get prices down for everyone.

Think I might get a real UHF radio setup with the big arial and everything.

Just goes to show how useful they can be for organising a cruise when used.

bentles · 10-12-2007, 09:24 AM

yeah im definately going to buy one now. also might try getting a car kit for it because the one we were using went flat by the trip home cos i was on it so much talking to randies on channel 17 lol

EA2BA · 10-12-2007, 09:41 AM

I was also thinking of maybe a low powered FM transmiter that could then broadcast to those tuned in, that way everyone stays in the loop regardless of having a UHF or not.

**Sorted** · 10-12-2007, 09:57 AM

UHF's pffffffft, where was my memo to buy one GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Awesome pics there fellas, came out great........

Its one thing taking the photos BUT then spending all the time to edit and resize them then post them up is a pain but you guys did that with no complaints - well done!!

bentles · 10-12-2007, 10:26 AM

what do you guys use to resize your photos?
i know of a program which does them all in 1 go so you dont need to use photoshop to do them 1 at a time if thats how you were doing it...
the only problem is i forgot the name of it LOL.

Awesome find Bentles, I use MS Paint to resize them to 20% of original size one by one....

I'll give this one a go in future.

EA2BA · 10-12-2007, 10:42 AM

This works well right click and choose the options (VISTA mainly)
VSO

In XP just download the powertoy for image resizing.
Microsoft XP Power Toys

I guess thats what happens when you've got 40 cars vs 15 cars.

Even with 15 odd cars, between the traffic lights etc, we could have easily still had a problem of broken groups of people, but we stayed in touch on the UHF and kept the group together is what made the difference.

What UHF...GRRRRRRRRR!!! :evil3:

SammyDen · 10-12-2007, 12:29 PM

All i'm saying is that its a lot easier to keep 15 cars together then 40 or what ever there was last year.

oh.. all talk no show?
i attended, just 1 day late.

SammyDen · 10-12-2007, 12:40 PM

which way did the cruise go to apollo bay?

**Sorted** · 10-12-2007, 12:44 PM

We went the back way to Apollo Bay then along the GOR on the way home which personally I liked as you got an exciting drive home.

Last GOR I went to we went along the GOR to Apollo Bay and then along the back roads to home.

SileNceR · 10-12-2007, 12:48 PM

Did all the cars go to apollo bay? From the pics it looks like only nine got there??

EA2BA · 10-12-2007, 12:52 PM

Everyone went to Apollo bay, then a group left to go do photos, and the others stayed and chatted then headed home.

bentles · 10-12-2007, 12:54 PM

yup those 9 cars took those pics on the way home about 10k from apollo bay off to the side of the road near one of the bridges

We went the back way via colac pretty much, was a very nice easy cruise with open road and no traffic, picked up the GOR enjoyed some twisty stuff then arrived at Apollo Bay.

The way back was open to people to decide, I took the GOR the whole way home was a pretty clear run as well.

Yeah thats about right, I resize them in MS Paint to 20% of original size, which brings the file size down to around 100kb.

The 75 pics that I have posted comes up to about 8mb.

RachsEa · 10-12-2007, 05:34 PM

Looks like you guys had fun. I notice some of the cars still have the E-Series Owners Club stickers on them. Any reason for that? Didnt think those cars would be welcome.
From what I've been told, Sundays group had a good run too with around 30 cars in attendance.
