Hi guys,
I just received a message from Tez (any of the Victorians that has owned a MB for more than 5 years would know him and his legendary cruises' organisation), who is unable to attend on the 17 but would really like to join any other week end.
Is there any chance of moving the cruise by 2 weeks (either Sat 30 or Sun 31)?
Mark (Gazuga), not sure if you were coming down to Melbourne specifically for the cruise, but are you in a position to move it by a couple of weeks?
Please all reply as soon as you can, so we can make amendments

I was happy with that weekend as it was the only free one I had for the month.
Tell Tez to organize another cruise for mid August or early may or whenever suits him and I will try get to that too. I don't think anyone would complain about more than one cruise in a year?

I found out I have a prior engagement on the 17th so I'm in favour of re scheduling... or I'll just have to wait for the next one.

OK, so it looks like the 17 is the day, even if a couple of cars can't make it.
Talking to Terry, we are going to organise another run next month and hopefully have more cars attending.
Could please anyone who is coming on the 17 confirm?

There was a bit of interest from Facebook - from the TMB discussion group and Suzuki Carry Club. So you might have a few extras.
I hope the day goes well for you guys!

It has been a few years, but worth the wait!!
6 mightyboys
2 carrys and
1 hatch
+ 1 new owner, waiting for the car to be registered (and looking forward for the next cruise)
and, as it has always been, an eclectic mix of colours and specs.
With exception of Gazuga (even if he turned up with the hot yellow hatch), Courierguy and myself, a whole new generation of MB owners, but all with the same appreciation for MB things.
And now for some stats:
As far as MBs, 6 different colours (3 OEM /3 custom)
4 AUTO!!!!! and 2 manual.
4 F5A SOHC, 1 F5A DOHC, 1 F8B
More pics to follow

Thanks to all that showed up.
Look forward to the next one
