A very large Idea, possibly the biggest cruise.

hi guys,

i am planning on going down to sydney and other places nearby in september with my brother to see some relatives, but i got an idea.

i would like to drive from brisbane down to sydney, then melbourne, and then out across the great ocean road to adelaide. then go back again. My idea was to see if anyone else was interested in such a trip. it would be a continuos cruise basically picking up new people in the major cities that we went through all the way down to adelaide. you'd get to see some of the best scenery australia has to offer and drive on some of the best roads.

would anyone else be interested in this? just an idea at the moment. not limited to mx5's or mazda's, completely open, providing they are responsible people.

Mike

No doubt there'll be a meet in each city. I think everyone wants to see the Rotary '5

Very interesting suggestion....if only I can convince the bosses (the one at work & the one at home) that it could be fun?

Awsome. I am in. For some of the way anyhow. When?

perth is just too far to go, i cant really afford that much fuel in my car. it gets 20L/100k's remember, so this is going to be a very expensive trip for me :frown:

silly rotary...........no i take that back, i love it :oops:

adelaide is my final stop i believe, so i can catch up with the guys that built parts of the car originally and show them how far its come. probably be there for a day then leave the next.

tell your bosses that you will be stopping in at some of the vineyards on the way and will pick up some very nice wine for them :lol:

it will probably be in september, early to mid i'd say. nothing is definate yet, just seeing if anyone else is interested really. if there is enough interest i will go ahead with the whole thing (if i cant fund it of course).

Hi there
Might be interested for part of the trip, then return to Bris. Depends if it's in the school holidays - starts 22/9
