Alright, new idea (that's the beuty of planning something so far ahead, you can change it plenty of times ).

This is now the Toymods MEGACRUISE and will be a competition with prizes at the end.
The aim is to be part of the biggest group of a make & model of car (within reason). Eg, if there's, say, 20 sprinters (not likely ) and only a few celicas, rollas and others, then the sprinter drivers will each recieve a prize.
The groups will mostly cover more than one model, eg, 20 series celicas will be counted together (TA22s, T/RA23s and RA28s), as will AE82 & AE92 rollas, cressidas, old & new mr2s, all supras, and all celicas after the 20 series. Also, all the cars that are by themselves, with no similar model, will be counted as a group. But if there's two of you, you're both out.

As yet, the prizes are undecided, but bear in mind there will be somewhere around 10 prizewinners (going by the numbers at the supercruise), so don't expect all gold trophies each. But I will try to make the prizes good.
Anyway, the cars will not be counted untill palm beach, so all cars of the group must be there, I'm not counting cars that showed up at homebush but didn't make it all the way.


The day will be saturday (there you go Blake ) the 20th of July, which gives plenty of time for everyone to arrange it into their schedules.

Meet, 10:30am at Homebush, we need to leave by 11:30, in the carpark just near the station, right next to Australia ave. Here's a little map to make things easier......




From there we head north up Homebush Bay to and then we'll turn right onto Victoria rd. Then we'll travel along victoria rd heading south/east towards the city, crossing Gladesville bridge, then iron cove bridge, then follow vic rd to the left and over Glebe Island bridge.
Now this is the fun bit, cos if you take a wrong turn, you could end up in the middle of the city. We're going to follow victoria rd (which becomes the western distributor) round to the left, heading north, & go straight over the harbour bridge. I decided it would be stupid stopping in the city, it would be to hectic with so many cars.
So after we cross the harbour bridge, we need to keep to the left and take the second exit on the left, which is Falcon st, where we turn right. We follow this rd through neutral bay & mosman, down over the spit bridge, and then we take a right at the first set of lights after the spit bridge, which takes us towards manly.
Before we go through manly, we going to have our halfway stop at North Head.
We're gonna turn right at Belgrave st, then a left onto east esplenade, left onto Ashburner then right onto Darley rd, which takes us up to the North Head lookout. For those that havn't been here, it's one of the best views in Sydney.

Once we're all regrouped, we'll head back down Darley rd, turn right t the first set of lights, then left onto the Manly foreshore. Follow this rd to the fist set of lights, turn left then the first right onto Pittwater rd. Follow Pittwater up to Warringha rd where we turn left, follow that to Forest Way where we turn right. Follw Forest way up to Mona Vale rd, turn right, then we'll pull over up the long stretch for a real quick regroup.
Back on Mona Vale rd, we take a left at the first set of lights, and right at the roundabout just after the lights. This rd we follow down through Church Point & Bayview, until we meet up with Barrenjoey rd, where we turn right and head on up to our final stop.
We won't be going all the way to palm beach, we're gonna stop at a sports oval just before it, with a BBQ, toilets & some play equipment .

Here we'll cook up plenty of snags, steaks & rissoles, so you people had better be hungry! Sausage sandwiches will be $1 for members, $1.50 for non-members, steak sandwich $2 for Ms, and $2.50 for n-Ms, rissole sandwichs $150 for Ms, $2.00 for n-Ms. And cans of drink for $1.

After we feast and check out each others cars etc etc, if everyone is still keen we can cruise into the city. This part of the cruise is depending on what everyone thinks, and who can suggest where to go. There aren't many places a big bunch of cars can all pull over and park in the city, but I'm sure we can arrange something. Head down to bondi maybe?

I should have directions to hand out on the morning, and I'm gonna try to get some photocopies of a map to give out too.

Keep an eye on this thread for more updates, as I remember all the finer details!
