I'm hoping to be there with my G/F (she'll only come on the condition I drive in a somewhat proper (ie legal) manner).

Its a Dark silver, black roof, black leather and 17s, its pretty base spec actually (as base as an S can be), but its exactly the car I want (though it has the phone package too, so no aerial, I actually like the aerial, but no biggie really.

But I don't think I'm up to driving at the speeds Mr.Way was mentioning a while back, I LIKE my licence unmolested.

Mr Mow, you got a Cooper S??? Congrats!!! I just traded in my car yesterday actually. Things just didn't work out for me with the car. I was just getting agro with all the problems eventhough I had been interstate mainly and hardly driven the car.

I have been invited back to a TT drive day on 18th May. Looks like we are going to Lorne. Do you guys want to meet up with the TT guys on the day? Up to you. I now have neither a TT nor a Cooper S.

eltel · May 2nd, 2003, 02:58 AM

WAY, good to hear from you again. Sorry that things didn't work out, you looked good behind the wheel of a Cooper S.

Might pass on the Lorne idea with the TT club, the swamos drive will be mainly a social day.

Good luck in the future, you know where we are.

Regards, ElTel

Too bad about the agro you've had, I had a bucket load with my original cooper too, One thing I've learned, never buy a new car within its first year of production!

(don't tell me you've bought a 350Z?).

See you round.

The ferry trip is pretty good and you will usually see dolphins and possibly some seals.

At this stage, it's

swamos and wife,
spazz,
eltel and wife,
ccsmini, wife and child,
CoopeR and girlfriend,
ratboy and partner?
MrMow and g/f

There must be others out there who want to come and meet with swamos? Please indicate your interest. This will be a family day and a social outing, not a Monte Carlo drive.

Regards, ElTel

Any more, please indicate soon.

The swamos drive will depart from somewhere in St.Kilda at 10am. Proceed down Nepean Hwy, stopping at Arthur's seat for a great view of the bay and Melbourne, then along the edge of the bay from Dromana to Portsea Pub for lunch. ('Better be good.)

Then back to Sorrento for a 1/2 hour ferry ride across to Queenscliff. If people wish to end the day at that time that's fine, else join us on the ferry trip.

The ferry drops us at quaint Queenscliff and we can explore the Bellarine Peninsula then home through Geelong to Melbourne.

The ferry cost $44 for car and driver, $4 for extra adults. It's a very enjoyable ride with great scenery.

ratboy · May 8th, 2003, 02:23 PM

good choice, do we need to book the ferry ride?

eltel · May 8th, 2003, 05:23 PM

Nice idea, Dom. I'll see if I can contact them tomorrow. If so I'll need to know numbers.

Here's a map of the ferry journey, starting at Sorrento, landing at Queenscliff.

OZChris · May 9th, 2003, 06:22 AM

Thanks for the update Eltel.

May I suggest meeting at the St Kilda Marina car park area. An excellent photo shoot opportunity with the Marina as backdrop.

Chris

eltel · May 9th, 2003, 06:36 AM

Good suggestion, Chris. St Kilda is such a photogenic suburb.

Gripper · May 9th, 2003, 11:49 AM
