A road cruise feeler

It feels to me like it may be time for another on-road cruise in, say, May on a Saturday or Sunday.
It can be the previous route around the Dandenongs, or a new one (down Beach road for example).
It is a good get together for older and new members to get to know each other without the stress of four wheel driving.
Expressions of interest please...

I'm (tentatively) in.
Would prefer a different route if possible, maybe around Frankston area (avoiding the highways) ?

Well, it looks like it would have to be towards the end of May anyways.

Stress?! You need to get a 4wd subi that you'll take offroad - its far from stressful unless your trying not to get it dusty/muddy or try not to scratch the paint...
That said, if the date is good for me, I'll be there
Could the great ocean road or part of it be a goer?
Cheers

Prob not in winter - its quite dangerous. I was thinking more along the lines of beach road Port Melbourne to Mornington pen.

I don't think it would be a dangerous road to drive in winter, provided you're driving to the conditions of the day... Just a thought and my opinion.
Any drive with another bunch of subi nuts would be good, just so long as its not blockies around an industrial estate
Oh, and you seemed to have missed my comment about the 4wd'n. Good idea not to get too far off topic
So I'll end here.
Cheers

Great Ocean road or Beach rd sounds good - pending the weather it sounds like a great outing GTlegs!

I'm keen to get something sorted - so thought I'd revive the thread...
I have no idea where we'd have an on road cruise but thought I'd get a date sorted while working out a route to take...
I'm all good to go now that the EJ is pretty much sorted.
Thoughts/ideas
Cheers

Hey Benny,
I would be interested as my L is not off road able yet how about the great ocean road good views good road and can still head bush for lunch into otways. Not sure about date but November would be nice

Yep, early November Sat should be swell.

Yeah the GOR could be a good drive. The last weekend in November/Early December would be best for me - the first three weeks of November are booked solid for me...
Maybe we could make it an end of year BBQ? I've been to the one a few years ago in WA so could organise a road drive, BBQ then some offroading for those that want to go offroading with others for the arvo... Sound good?
Cheers

the GOR is a good drive as i lived on it for 21years growing up before i moved up to darwin .
and are some grate tracks off the mane road if u want to have some fun at the time u are looking at going it wood be dry and u can go any wear and not get boged as i have been there and done that .
u can go down to the bay on the black stuff and come back on the dirt to anglesea .
do it all in a day no proloms if i was down there i wood go .
love that place .

Okay, so my month of november is booked solid - that's gotta be a first for me!
Talking dates: Early december is looking good, so who can make it for the 5th or 6th of December? I think this date is far enough from christmas - anyone got a better set of dates if it is?
Next will be to sort out a trip route - I'm in favour of the Great Ocean Road
Cheers

GOR could be a very long trip for some just for a casual cruise. I dont mind though.
Another possible route could be all the way down the mornington.
Give my enough notice, and any date is good for me.
