Hey all, on the 30th of September, the Victorian Torana Club is hosting its annual Maroondah Dam Cruise. This one is always a huge success; last year we had more than 35 Toranas come the whole way from start to finish.

The starting point is the "Knox Club", on the corner of Stud & Heatherton Rds. Meet at 9am, and we should be heading off by 10am.

Invite your mates along as well; the more Torries the better. We encourage people to come to the end of the cruise, where we park the cars in a large carpark area that we have to ourselves.

As always, the club's BBQ trailer will be there, where reasonably priced hot food and cold drinks are on offer throughout the afternoon.

It's a free event, so just fill up the tank and bring a few bucks if you want lunch at the finish line.

Always an awesome relaxed environment and good oppurtunity to catch up with fellow enthusiasts.

Hope to see you there!
- Heath

I could be a starter. If I've recovered sufficiently from the Grand Final, that is. GO CATS.

Well I had a ball, and that was absolutely hilarious at the lights with the two hatches :spoton:

Hope you sort out your brake problem and it is just needing to be bled.

Will post photos when I get my full speed internet back :)

Pity about the weather? The weather was mint. On those low quality pics it looks like it's pissing down, but it was fine.

Well actually it did rain on the way back just a little bit... hey Brad? :tease:

Thanks for coming and saying hi, LC69GTR. :P
Didn't even know you were there. What vehicle did you come in? That wasn't your bronze LC was it?

Ahh cool that's not a problem. Inexpensive repair that should be done anyway :)

Ooooo yes those tyres really do struggle to hook up in the wet, when you have three enthusiastic blokes egging the driver. :burnout:

Did anyone get any shots of the Brown/Bronze LC GTR with the 173S in it? That car looked awesome.

First time is seen a 173S (CF) block.
