Cool shots Tony.......not so sure you're quality comment is warranted....have you seen my shots!! Average camera and bad photographer (if can attach that label to myself).

Glad to hear you enjoyed the drive....detours and all!!!

rellik666 · Jul 1st, 2008, 10:51 PM

What detours????????

Nil Time · Jul 2nd, 2008, 06:05 AM

NO DETOURS - just pre planned, alternate ways of reaching our destination !

gok4rt · Jul 3rd, 2008, 11:05 AM

Tony,
I thought you were in logistics....with that answer it sounds more like politics!!!

Have a good one....

Nil Time · Jul 3rd, 2008, 12:52 PM

It must be my consulting experience..trying to keep all parties working and relating effectively,

Cheers,

rellik666 · Jul 3rd, 2008, 10:18 PM

HA ha ha!...........I think it is you that is in Politics Craig..........with all those outlandish Turbo Claims............

As long as we all have a good time!

Hey Tony, you not coming onthe 20th....it'll be fun!

Nil Time · Jul 4th, 2008, 02:08 AM

Hello Ruth - I am not sure of my schedule yet - I may be working away from home during that time.

I shall come if I can.

Cheers

gok4rt · Jul 6th, 2008, 12:49 PM

Hey Ruth,
Nothing outlandish about any Turbo claims I have made, all 100% truth, honest!?!?!

Tony,
It'd be great to see you on the 20th if you can make it. This run was my first run with clubMINI....when I first saw that 10km winding road sign, well...

Definite try to make this one, its an excellent drive.

I was wandering if some of you Vics can help me. What's the easiest way to get to Scoresby from the CBD and roughly how long would it take? Have to meet someone out there, and its rather important.

Thanks...

Monash Freeway is good (get off Ferntree Gully Road) but not during busy peak hours, we don't call it the Monash Carpark for nothing.

rellik666 · Jul 9th, 2008, 10:47 PM

Some photo's from Tuesday Night!

Not my best effots...not sure what I have done to my camera....

but anyhow

Mel Evening Drive - a set on Flickr

Don't forget the drive on the 20th.....Vernon Run.......Doncaster Hotel 9am.

Take Kings Way to Queens Road onto Dandenong Road (Princes Hwy) then left at Ferntree Gully Road through to Scoresby.

I live there and it takes anywhere between 35 minutes to 1 hour depending on time of day.

Early morning before peak = 35 mins
Morning peak = 45-50 mins
Late morning through to late afternoon = 35 mins
Evening Peak = 50-60 mins.

If you take the Monash Fwy from the city, you need to pay tolls and you never know how well it will travel. It only takes one accident to stuff the whole thing up!

It's never taken me any longer than an hour at the most using the route I suggest.

Hope this helps and your meeting goes well!

Cheers..... Geoff

21Blue · Jul 10th, 2008, 01:57 AM

thanks for the directions. looks like driving would be the best way to get there, where can I rent a MINI? Oh, and does anyone know of any short term apartments that are available?

Looking forward to seeing you there...its a great run.

Tuddy's Toy,

I hope you are not trying to recruit him into the TURBO Boys Club even before his car arrives Craig!

You know we are all about equal treatment of Turbo's and Superchargers in this club.......cause us super lovers know you guys would have no friends otherwise!

works8 · Jul 14th, 2008, 03:38 AM

Checked out the route on the vernon-ring, it looks great! Can't wait!
