 The Toyota/Celica cruise...
|
Sun, 25 August 2002 10:44
|
 |
The cruise today started off as a good one... Although we didn't end up leaving Rofe Park until 10:30am it wasn't too bad...
We headed off from Rofe Park and headed towards the Gorge... Had a bit of fun thru there with Karl in his Celica coming sideways out of one of the hairpins and nearly ending up in the rock wall  ...
We got onto the ferry with a few front bar scrapes and back off again with the same problem... It was mainly Matt's and Andrew's Supras and MR PLOW (I forgot his name... Sorry  )... So we went off from there and headed for the Coast... Coming along Wiseman's Ferry Rd there was a bit of a mishap though... One of the Supra's aquaplaned onto the wrong side of the road, through a bit of shrub, into a tree and then into a telegraph pole  ... Thankfully, god was watching over them and there was no injuries at all... Except for the car...
We got all that sorted out and then went on to the Fish and Chip shop at Terrigal... We had lunch and then went to the supermarket to have a little fun on the road afterwards...
So we had all our fun on the way home down the old PAC and then headed to Castle Hill to go to Mark's workshop... Some very nice cars there and I appreciate the time and effort that he has put into his Pulsar GTiR... That was an awesome car... So then we stayed there for a while checking out all the nice imports and the detail that has gone into the engine bays... We also let off some rockets and bungers... Fun...
And then we all parted ways and headed off home...
If anyone wants a CD of the day reply here and I'll get them done asap...
Thanks to Martin/GIN51E for an almost great day... It was a good cruise apart from the mishap... I look forward to the next one...
To the owner of the crashed supra, I hope it all works out okay for you and good luck with finding the new shell...

The Supra in question was none other than Pauls (SUPRAGTE), which showed up all the 1j's at the recent dyno day, it was a very nice piece of gear indeed.
Anyhow Paul, and I'm sure this goes for anyone here, if there is anything I can do to help you get the car back on the road just let me know.
Post up when you intend to do the pulldown/swap and watch the toymods community in action,I'm sure there will be plenty of hands up to help.
A terrible shame to lose such a nice car, however it is just a car and can be rebuilt, dont get disheartened, the next build will be bigger and meaner than the last !!
chin up

Guys, I think talk of the "fruit incident/s", better be left unspoken.
It was far from our proudest moment, I know no toymods members were involved directly, but I want you to understand that this kind of behaviour has no place on a toymods cruise.
There is being a "HOON", a term I have gotten used to, and then there is "Hooliganism" an ugly and immature act.
Let those who want to do this kind of stuff go for it, it was funny once , but I'm sure you'll agree it escalated quickly to be something that was not right.
my 2c

THE CELICA/SUPRA CRUISE!!
I feel deeply for poor Paul.. and his mate
but it just goes to show guys: HIG POWER CARS AND WET ROADS DONT MIX... the rta don't bullsh!t when they say wipe of 10km/h... this could've happened to anyone! (personally i would like it to never happen)
Yes Ben is right... the GT had a bit of a "sideways incident" going down the gorge... with a few opposite locks going from rock wall to barricade. Just ask Ben, Mr Plow or that guy in the purple TA22 how silly i was doing that fishy..
MR PLOW is a looser!!  dude, you will be fine just filling light sanding and touching up those stone chips mate!
BEN - yes i will take a CD! you know DAMN RIGHT i want a cd 
GIN51E - nice cruise mate! thanks heaps... see you on the next one
SUPRA BOYS - nice driving with you all... even though we had some problems keeping up!! *look out for those damn bridges hey!*
It was a fun day (minus the incident)!
And thanks Mark for showing us your workshop and andrew for nearly setting me on fire with that bunger!!

Was a great day guys until the mishap!  Had alot of fun and met some new fellas too. I really appreciate everyone helping out yesterday after the incident, you guys are great! Helping get a towie and in the meantime using your cars to cover up the accident. Thanks very much again.
Thanks for help too Matt, Mark, Dave, Ray(The best mate ever) especially, it helps ease the pain of loosing a car that took 4.5 years to build. Its a shame that no amount of realistic money will get me back to what I exactly had and really in this type of situation that's all I want- A nice red MK2 3lt turbo Supra. 
I've decided not to give up though and I will build another one. How could you not? So much fun to drive and build up, i just hope my next one will be as good, if not alot better.
Thanks again guys
Paul

Matt, could I interest you in a CD at all???
Paul, there's a free CD for you if you want it... I don't know if you will want to remember the day at all but if you want one let me know... If you are still talking to Scott I can give it to him to pass it on to you... He lives accross the road (basically) from me...
So Far I have CD's for:
Myself
Manipulate
Brad (MR PLOW)
Karl
Mark - Hills Motorsport (I Think)
Matt, about the fruit... I thought the same as you that's why I didn't mention it in the first place... I aggree we are hoons but that shouldn't have escalated into what it did... If Mark wants to do it, go ahead but it shouldn't have been done on an Official Toymods Cruise...
That's the way Paul... Go ahead and build another one... Make it beefier and better but only to be driven on dry roads... I admit my knowledge on turbos and highly modified cars isn't the best but if I have any time I would lend a hand...
Online, are you interested in a CD at all???
GIN51E, do you want a CD??? I'll chat to you on Tuesday at Tafe at the break if you want... Also, your mate want one???
This means that I'm gunna have to get off my arse now and get these done... Sorry to people waiting for the Wollongong one but that's coming soon...

Yeah rack me up, I'll have one, it was surely a day to remember!!
I only wish you had captured the view I had of the accident, you cant describe with words the violence of any hway speed accident however I am still stunned at the velocity and angle at which the supra left the road, as if it had been shot from a gun !!
The stupid thing was, we had already had our fun , without incident, and were slowly cruising back for our long overdue lunch, it just goes to show it could have happened to anyone, I'd like to think that with my experience and driving my own car that it coudln't happen to me, I suspect I am wrong.
Matt

 NOT HAPPY !

Well Guys,
Sounds like you all had fun (with one exception), Sorry but I guess I am here to rain on your Parade.
I know this was not an official Toymods cruise and I'm sure the behavior of the Financial Toymods members was of an acceptable standard.
I wasn't there as I had other commitments but from the sounds of things its a good thing I wasn't ! When you are out as a group and the Toymods name is involved you reflect on our club.
And when I say our club I mean my club and every other financial members !
Clearly on this cruise the hoon element which we are all aware of turned into the "Raging F*#kwit " element ! Throwing fruit out of your car is NOT fun. Throwing it at people is downright appauling ! How would you like it if you were on the receiving end. 
If I do find out this activity was carried out by a Toymods member his or her membership will be in question ! Yes thats right the board will discuss removing them from the club. Sorry but actions like that just cannot be associated with this club.
Its all fine and well to go and have your fun and I'll ignore any reference that may suggest your driving conduct was in question.  Your old enough to know how to behave on the roads and as I said it was not an official event. The club is about having fun but not about being a menace to Society.
It is great to see forum members getting together and organising unofficial events but please have some respect for the club that put you all in touch with each other in the first place.
To say I am disapointed would be an understatement 
Paul,
My deepest condolences on your loss I understand it was even during a slow part of the cruise and I wish you all the best in resurecting your baby. It was indeed a very fine example.

Thanks Rod, starting to plan the new one already. Don't know how he managed to stuff a simple overtake up but he did.
Rollaboy, i'm after a CD as well, that would be great. I'll come round and pick it up sometime over the next week. Ill PM you soon. Thanks
Hey did anyone get some pics of my car after the crash down the ditch? I'd be interested in seeing them.
Now i understand the whole fruit thing. I didn't even know what you guys were talking about.

Well it sure was an interesting day, took a little while to get going but once we hit the road it was all good, had lots of fun scaring Tom on the way down to wisemans with him holding on to the door handle for his life and the tyres screaming around the corners with pleasure but i think it was a very good day minus the one mishap, which i'm sorry Paul, it was a damn nice car which mine got extreemly embarrassed by with that little event off at the lights on the way to macca's but i look forward to seeing your next upcoming one which i'm sure will kick my cars arse twice as fast. 
as for the fruit well, no comment on that situtation exspecially with what happened on the old highway home, but overall it was a good day weather wasn't that bad, kept it interesting as we experienced all types from the sunny dry to the pissing down rain in the afternoon. but i think the next event will only get bigger and better as it was the first i had ever run or been on so i can learn from my mistakes in which to improve on next time.
And as some would have known my car wasn't running so well on the day and had a big misfiring problem which seems to have gone now since i ran the tank dry and filled it up with LRP again and its strange but my car actually runs better and faster on LRP then premium, also we are very lucky we didn't loose another car off into the tree's as coming home from school today as i just turned into my street (very slowly may i add) i heard a big bang then the back of my car started to move around like jelly as the Pan Hard bar snapped off the diff (once again) and if that happened around any of those corners on the day well good bye celica as the car would have flicked itself off the road so i consider myself as having a very lucky day on sunday.
also whilst we were getting some lunch i recieved a phone call asking for directions and i thought it was Witzle but as he arrived and i aske dhim if he called he said no so i don't know who it was that called me as it was a bad connection but i think i gave you the wrong directions and may have just made you even more lost.
Also Ben "Rolla Boy" i'm certainly in for the cd just let me know when you will bring it to TAFE so i can make sure i've got some money on me.
and Online i am happy to pick up your copy of the cd on one condition, and thats you let me drive your car
but all in all it was a good day red seemed to be the favorite colour on the day with all the celica's and a few of the supra's and look forward to the next one, (although my tyres don't)

Yep u sure did.
that was me
But its all good cause even though i lost u guys it was in the direction of home.
No worries though i should have waited at the lights when it went orange as opposed to going through...but didnt know the supra infront was going home too so i followed him.
All good...hopefully by next time ill have gotten rid of the damage on the front left of the sleeka....gonna do it myself to make a profit out of the bus's....hah....wish me luck ey

Maybe the tapes are getting old and worn. It might be time to buy some new ones instead of re-recording over them continuously.

Gin51e,
Mate sorry I miised the cruise from all reports with slight exception it was a good day.
Be great to see you organise another one, Just remember to make sure it does not conflict with any other Toymods events and I'm sure if anyone got too carried away you would have a quiet word to them.
Hope to catch up wth you all soon, Will be at the R/C car day for anyone who is going.

well i think i need to work on my public speaking a bit more but over time with more events i think that will improve,
this sunday i'm thinking on going on a cruise myself and checking out some road options and then organise the event a month later that gives people time to get ready and so forth, but i understand the rules of using these forums and will make sure it doesn't conflict with any official events, and hope you will be able to make the next one as there's nothing better the a fair few celica's cruiseing along in a line

Yep the run after we got off the ferry was heaps of fun. It's just as well you dudes took the old road back to Hornsby, becuase the freeway was a carpark after the Berowra exit.

Yeah, when we were on our way back down the old PAC, I noticed on the freeway that there was an ambulance and traffic that was totally stopped... Lucky we did thake the old road otherwise we would've got back a bit later than we did... After leaving Mark's workshop, I got home at around 8:30pm... That was a long day...
