Guys,

Knowing how quite a few of you guys are suffering withdrawal from having garaged your rides, thought I'd pass on some pics of a cruise I went on Sunday. It was about 95 degrees and about 90% humidity yesterday.

I think 25 cars attended the day. All Commodores or derivatives, including a Monaro, an SS sportswagon a handful of VX and VE SS (the Australian base for the G8 GT) couple of Clubsports and a HSV 427.

We started off in southern Brisbane and cruised up to a local lake and then waterfall and national park.

Round trip of about 275 miles I suppose, give or take.

No real incidents to speak of. One older car lost a fiberglass section of front bumper and one speeding ticket. But overall everyone was really well behaved and had a good time.

After all the rain we've had recently, this is the sort of thing we were encountering a few times on the cruise.

Just curious, I saw the person wearing that corvette shirt next to the 427, you do have Vettes down under right?

Yes, we have a few Vette's here.
I think they are all low volume imports and are converted to RHD locally.
Donald, the 427 owner is a very keen GM fan, with plenty of merchandise, such as hats, shirts, picnic chairs and t-shirts.
Not sure if he owns a Vette or not. I know he's got a couple of high end cars though.
