Where do we all live? Thinking about cruise / meets

GTRFAN · 06-30-2009, 04:11 AM

Hey all,

Just a quick poll to see where we all live so we can plan cruises / meets in the future.

A lot of us have cars on order but we may as well get things started.

So, where do you live?

evse82 · 07-01-2009, 08:58 AM

Looks like there'll be some nice future cruises in Melbourne :P

GTRFAN · 07-02-2009, 12:28 AM

Melbourne meet for sure guys....maybe in August when we all actually have our cars. This waiting game is really tough...

Hey rudi how's it going?

I didn't expect anyone to select that option.

Where do you live?

Hi guys. On the basis of this forum Melbourne could a great place to be (for cruises at least

).

Myself i am in Brisbane about 20mins south of the CBD or 35mins north of the Gold Coast. There are some great drives up here from fairly standard flat cruisy blasts. Right up to some challenging mountain runs.

Say Mt Nebo/Glorious up to Wivenhoe dam. Even the run through Mt Tamborine, from GC to Brissie or vice versa. Hopefully Ellz will be up for it.

Also would love to go for a drive around Tassie and Adelaide/SA.

When you look at carslaes.com.au it appears QLD has one the larger amounts of 370's for sale.

I'll just have to cruise round myself by the looks of things lol... If I ever get the car!!!

ordered 13 June - no idea of delivery date...

CJ2151 · 07-03-2009, 07:34 PM

Guys, Brisbane here. This is one of many Nissans for me. Look forward to getting together for a cruise when the cars arrive. Mine is like most of you August / September for Delivery. I have been on order for a while as I wouldn't budge on colour. Got the white manual coming. If anybody knows of the 19's to offload PM me. I WANT! look forward to organising a cruise SE QLD.

rudi · 07-03-2009, 11:52 PM

Hi all, I'm in Albury Wodonga located on the Vic NSW border makes me reasonably central. As yet I haven't seen another 370 on the road other than mine. This is my 3rd Z.

Rudi.

evse82 · 07-04-2009, 01:47 AM

Well I finally ordered mine today, I got the black manual, hopefully it'll come in early to mid August.... Then we can start organising the Melbourne Cruises... that all you bums in other states can come to :P (ur all invited lol)

Its gonna be one slow cruise though.... everyone will still be running in their engines.....

Sorry to hear you have to wait so long irishboy. I got the ok from Wife to look at cars and could've picked up the car the next day if the bank hadn't have stuffed around. So I had to wait an OH so long 1 week

(sry).

Welcome CJ'. Would be great to get a few of us together soon for a drive somewhere. Maybe when a few of the others have gotten their cars we could organise something Even before then would be cool and they could just drool

over ours. As for the 19's unless you Import from Japan or US it isn't going to happen ATM.

Rudi.

Even driving through Peak Hour here in brissie I havnt seen another 370 yet. It's such a great feeling to know you are one of the first to have the car. Also to know that it's not going to be millions of them like Falcodres (no offense meant).

About time evse' that you got onto it LOL. I bet you cant wait to get your hands on it. I would definitely be up for a Melb cruise one day and add it in as a Holiday or something.

As for the run-in bit. As it's been talked to death in the main section on what should/shouldn't be done all I can say is enjoy it. What ever someone else does its up to them.

evse82 · 07-04-2009, 11:05 PM

lol thanks, yeah I took my time getting it but lucky I got in on the next shipment.

It's gonna feel like the longest month....... Ah wells

LOL thats awesome, where is it? maybe we could do it together haha.

I just thought of driving down to st kilda and back every night...

I did see one person in a white one cruising up and back the same 3 streets for about an hour, I figured he was running it in too... I was so excited seeing it... everyone with me were saying - look at him doing laps, I said, yeah that'll be me as well running it in... only I'll be doing it for 4 hours every night lol
