Hey guys
Great cruise - thanks Joel and others for being a tops leaders and organising everything - most enjoyable.
Did anyone see the Lexus hit that pole? We were able to get a few photos of it - certainly was a job and a 1/2!
I'll try to put a few pictures up of the cruise when I can.
Can't wait for the next one!!

that was my first cruise and i gotta say it was great! i was near the front of the pack going thru the twisties and i was shocked we got thru the whole way without a car slowing us down so we were able to do relatively good speeds 
and next time im gonna try and find a CB not a scanner cause all i could do was listen in on everyone talking... who was pretending to be the cops and saying to pull over for an RBT as we passed the cop shop? i just feel proud i got a mention

My appologies are given for not being able to make it today, but due to some personal business i was completely unable to go. Dammit! 
As for the Corolla vs Celica attendance, good to see the girls finally coming out.
Sounds like i missed a fun day, bugger.

Well, a huge thanks to everyone who showed up, it's great when things can run fairly smoothly. It sure is fun leading 60+ mostly toyotas through Sydney, although somewhat stressfull at times, but that's Sydney traffic for you. I'm sure our presence caused a bit of stress to some of them though.
Thanks heaps to Rod, who saved my arse by making a detour to get bread & ice, & also copped some injuries to the Crown which required some minor surgery. Then had to drive back to the shops when we ran out of sausages for the BBQ. By my count we polished off about 130 sausages in about half an hour. Sorry to the people that went hungry, next time I'll bring way too much, & I'll remember the bread! 
The final but one of the most important thanks goes to all the people that are always prepared to jump in & lend a hand as cooks on the barbie, butterers of bread, collectors of coins & general handy persons, without complaint or fuss. These are the people that make the day possible, without them nothing would get done.
If anyone has any suggestions as to cruise destinations or anything that might improve cruises or the megacruise, please let us/me know. Also if anyone likes the idea of organising a cruise, it's not that hard, I can give plenty of advice if it's needed.
Cruising at the front's fun, but not all the time.

I had to attended a family lunch at Balmoral and saw a big old crown which sounded like it had a blow off valve. That's when I realised we were passing the Toymods convoy. For some bizarre reason I thought you guys were going down south.
Of course there was an embrassing moment when I told my family I was suppose to cruise with Toymods today and then an idiot P plater in a red Sprinter cut my father off.

What a great day out... first time since the last Palm Beach cruise that I've gotten out with Toymods... a lot of things sapping the money-tree, lack of time starting a new job and trying to save for stuff has stopped me largely from doing long cruises. Anyway, I had a great time, even got a tad burnt (as did a lot of others who weren't expecting a beating from the sun)...
One memorable moment was coming onto Victoria Rd and myself, I think it was Rob RA40 and the black targa-top (Supra?) went one-by-one into that sharp left corner... what a moment. Was fun racing the Celica until I jammed on the anchors and went into 2nd to take the corner, heard tyres screeching.. thought it wasn't me, could have been the car next to me, but as I was coming out of the corner here's this Supra drifting the better part of 45° into the kerb, and only just got control of the car back in time.  Scared the shit out of me to even be back that far and see it happen. The correction (snapping back from a left to a right) would have been fun in the car... looked pretty severe.
At one point we had about 62 cars on the cruise. A great effort from the organisers and all those that attended to make it a great day; even if all weren't Toyota - it's all good. Thanks to everyone for making it a great and mostly uneventful day. But that poor Lexus... either had a severe disliking of that traffic light, brake failure or a moment of extreme happiness with the gas pedal.
Hmmm, looks like I'll have to do some more modifying to make it into the gallery next time....
I got some photos to put up, but I also got a few AVI's too... have you got room for AVI's?
Cheers... till the next one.

I know this is a bit late, but was a great cruise!!
wasnt meant to come as i was in north sydney at about 10am(still out after a big night with some english tourists, that ended up giving me sars! ) and was heading off to chatswood when i was surrounded by about 60 toyotas! hehe, thought it was perfect timing.
was a bit tired and scattered through the day, so apologies if i was a bit quite and contained through the day...
look forward to the next cruise!!!
