Annual Cruise Shakedown....

[Aaron]

Hi Everyone from the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour.....

All of the AGT Family are now on their way home to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra.

Kitty and I are still here, and could be here under better circumstances, but things are on the improve. Stinky has developed a water leak and needs medical attention so we've got to stay on until we can get mechanical access tomorrow.

We'll post more in the coming days, but we look forward to reading everyone elses reviews of the weekend and seeing the pics...

Massive props to Dan, Nate, Aleks, Bourbs, Kyle for your help and support today anytime, anyway, anything I will repay the favour.

Good to hear you made it to the hotel safe. Any details on the leak?

This trip only cost me an exhaust (lucky I got some spares ;)), bump-stops, struts, and some underbody weight reduction from the afore mentioned failures! :p

Did either of the Nates bring my trolley jack back with them? I'm gonna need it to fix my own car. "Hmmm, upgrades...".

Best AGT meet ever BTW. :)

[Mazda_Brian]

Was one of the best weekends I had, even though I seem to have missed the majority of the shinanigans, I had an absolute blast!!!!

It's not good to hear about your issues Kitty and Aaron, but last I hear, all was good, car was back, and you where staying another night to make sure you had enough daylight hours to drive home safely....

I had some issues of my own, I left to head to Brisbane for my week-long holiday, and got to Grafton before the gearbox went into lock-down mode stuck in 3rd. An ECU reboot was enough to fix the issue, but I still had that stupid japanese message on my dash, coming up more and more frequent.

Turns out Bill and Ted where right, the fringgin thing was saying DIAG MODE, so I went into diag mode to find out there was a SUS 21 and SUS 22 Suspension error.

After looking it up, it was p1ssing and moaning about the rear suspension, so I finally ran the forced diag-mode it was trying to get me to run, then the error messages vanished.

After taking it to Toyota for a general health check on the computer, I found the rear of the car suffered a 1.2 tonne (roughly 2 vertical G-forces) of pressure to the rear, which kinda unsettled the TEMS suspension. After deleting the error messages, the car's fine, so all good my side.

Leigh, I was more than happy to drive you up, it was a pleasure, and was painless, it was either drive up with you, or drive by myself, I rathered have someone to talk to, and good conversations where had.

Had a ball when I was up there, but I got to admit, I rathered stay in Belenger, it was about 15 degrees warmer.

I also have to stand by my statement Saturday night, That wasn't my baby!!!

[Rupewrecht]

I had a great time.

Almost didn't get there in the Astina after the timing belt slipped the night before i was due to leave due to a rogue bit of plastic cam cover.

Had a great time driving up - giving the astina a chance to stretch it's legs for the first time in a while.

and of course it was great to see everyone again, and a few people for the first time :D

Next year it'll be in my 'back yard' apparently, so watch out. ;)

[chipa]

We got back home after 13.5 hrs and 1100k's of driving, Now we're busy packing when we can to move house this weekend (damn I need a break). Over the next month or 2 I'm going to be checking out possible accomodation in the Vic high country, hopefully I find something as I think the area would be perfect for the AGT Annual Cruise 2008! :D

[chicaboo]

Any chance I can get my trolley jack back Nicole??? That ******** brother of your's drove past my house and yours all the way to Emerald without even batting eyelid at the HUGE trolley jack box in the back of his car... :mad:

It's a pitty I never saw Borat, cause now I don't care if I ever did. :(

Anyhow, if I have the consent of the ppl on the cruise I can post up picks of your mugs and stuff from my private collection as Nathan puts it.

[bourbon]

[Cosmo Dude]

On my 17 hour drive I decided not to do a splash and dash at Seymor and drove through finaly crossing the finish line at 00:25. The next morning I took the Astina to the local shops to grab some breakfast goodies (I'd had more rotten ronnies in four days than in the last four years) before returning home. Later that afternoon I couldn't start the 'stina... outa gas

[chicaboo]

OMG what great photos, looks like you all had a blast

Thanks for putting them up chicaboo

[skitz]

yeah agreed thx... who else got some good ones of the weekend?

[chicaboo]

OMG what great photos, looks like you all had a blast

Thanks for putting them up chicabooThanks cuz, I just wish the salve trigger was working on my mighty flash gun, as that would HAVE made every shot look fully sik pro. But instead I used high ISO settings and ran into a few overexposures in strange lighting conditions which causes the high contrast you see in some shots...

Awesome pics!

I discovered someone comandeered my camera in the hall - all these pics i don't remember taking! hehe

But none of Kylies flames :(

[chicaboo]

Awesome pics!

But none of Kylies flames :(Oh I didn't have the camera out when you did them, and as the passenger in his car I never gave any thought to walk past the driver's side and take piccies. :p

Hi guys n gals,

Well we arrived home last night and practically collapsed into bed.
It was a long trip, a long holiday and a lot of unnecessary stress!

I'm not sure how many of you are aware, but I was suffering for the majority of the time in Dorrigo, and I wasn't able to do much about it all.
Big thankyou's to Bourbon, Kaz and Ellie for staying with me on Sunday night.
Also, I can't thankyou all enough for your understanding. I know my illness can wreak havoc on plans, but you all understood, especially on Sunday when I was trying to get ready and still kept vomiting so I made everyone late to the waterfall cruise.

Although I was advised that I shouldn't go on the trip by my Dr's, I wouldn't have missed this AGT meet for anything in the world!!

There were a few ups and downs, and personality differences, but I think overall it was a BRILLIANT trip and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Kyle's new paintjob is awesome! Poor Kyle doesn't want it to wash off!!

We have lots of pictures (including Kyle's flames) we took, hopefully we will get a chance to have them up over the weekend.

I always love catching up with our AGT family.
Big Kudo's to Cosmo for decoration goodness, and to both Cosmo and Rupewrecht for making the long journey!

To everyone that helped set up the decorations - more thankyou's
Especially to those that also helped clean up afterwards.
Greg and Jeannie at Dorrigo Mountain Resort will happily have us back, and they let us stay trying to fix Stinky beyond the checkout time.

What else?
Oh there is heaps to thank everyone for, it was a great weekend all things considered (some ups as well as downs, but it can't be great all the time right?)

LOL

Anyway, I'm heading back to bed, but will prolly write more later.

Cheers for now!

I have the finished product, will SMS it to you (no upload here)..

Yes Kitty and I are back in Canberra - after a 9 hour drive yesterday we can report that Stinky is home safe.

Aaron's Weekend with AGT:

Friday:
Nice easy start from Canberra considering we'd all been awake for Dans arrival in the Astina a bit after Midnight (I knew it).. We got on the road about 7:30 and headed fro Cowra. I kept the pace up while the $249 GPS reiterated the directions. We stopped for Breakfast to await Chipa and Mrs Chipa, learning that they'd been tailed by the local cops for a distance set the tone of responsibility for the weekend.

Our second leg was to run pretty much from Cowra upt toe Tamworth, hopefully to meet up with Brian and Froggy, however we out-mapped ourselves and ended up doing 13km of dirt/gravel road. It was about 1500m into the 16km dirt stretch that Stinky and I chickened out and Skitz and Rupewrecht tagged along on the tarmac towards Dubbo before bolting towards Dunedoo. Eventually we rejoined Chipa and Cosmo on the Golden Highway and hit Dunedoo. We all took a splash of fuel to ensure we made Tamworth.

Passing through Gunedah we finally got mobile reception long enough for me to call Kitty, Sorta call Brian (then in Tamworth) and get 19 SMS's asking WTF were we...

From a McDinner at Tamworth we fuelled again and ran quickly towards Armidale, the $249 GPS skirting the town centre and flawlessly leading us around the perimeter of town. We made another quick stop att eh Armidale Airport servo to pick up some fresh milk and ice.

Finally we arrived at Dorrigo, after way too many hours on very rough roads, as Dans loose bonnet can attest.

I think the four cars and 6 of us showed great humor and tolerence through the day as it was far from a "easy" trip. Anyone who thinks Stinky has great suspension only needed to see Aleks and I fall out ot the car on the trip and limp about. The other give away was the drinking to numb the pain upon arrival.

Our arrival at Dorrigo was a warm welcome, and we hit the drink - Eric and Andy were dubbed "Bill and Ted" for reasons they probably can't remember but everyone had a good time until the small hours of the morning.

I then stayed up another hour tidying the cabin and programming the cruise route into the GPS

Saturday
Wake up around 8am and get up to discover that Aleks and I had pretty much cleaned up our 4 day supply of alcohol... Restocking would need to take place that afternoon when we collected Kitty.

As the rest of AGT came to life cars were worked on and the comraderie and spirit of AGT really shone.

Newman joined us and we discussed routes and cruises while waiting for the Skitz & Bourbs nut-hunt to finish. Unfortunately for Chipa the drive in had not been without cost, In the lead Aleks adn I had dodged a carcass, and the other cars had followed our veer, except for Chipa who grazed the side of a Echidna. The result was a sidewall full of spikes and a slowly deflating tyre.

Given our lateness adn the overall seediness of the group we descended Dorrigo Mountain and drove straight to Coffs Harbour's Plantation Hotel for lunch in the Beer garden.

A gentle drive out the Jetty and a walk in the blowing gale to the end for some pics and fresh air. Eventually we headed for the lookout above the airpoprt to await Kitty's flight..

It came eventually...

With Kitty in tow we met up witht he rest fo the group at Toormina Gardens where shopping for provisions had been taking place.

And thus commenced the prepartions for the Party in the Hall.

Thanks to our staggered arrival back in Dorrigo the Hall had been heated and fired up, food was ready to go out and decorations ready to go up. Thanks to participation from the group we were quickly into "party" mode and enjoying the unity of the group.

Massive thanks to Kitty for the hall idea and making sure it all happened.

Sunday:
Another cruise, but this time closer to the plan. We headed west for Waterfalls and Lookouts - before returning to Dorrigo.

Kitty wasn't too well so we trailled the pack pack stopping in town for dinner, catching up with Chicaboo, Mitch, Kaz and Bourbs .. A plan was hatched...

Returing to Camp AGT a two plans were formed, the first saw a few of us head in to Dorrigo for food, the pub was doing roaring trade and fed the hungry.

A night run down to Coffs harbour was hastily arranged and to keen ones piled into cars for a run down the mountain.

All was going well - despite the locals showing us how a Commodore can cut fully hectic skids and Rupwrechts wiring not playing ball.

A few more stops and we hit up the local carwash, taking off the grime from the earlier cruise, and left to climb the mountain.

All was going well, the Moutnain was deserted, the turbos running very well in the cool damp air and tanks tot eh v6 brake conversion a week before I was confident enough to give Stinky a decent push up the hill.

We were well past halfway up whent he temperature guage took a climb and I backed off, immediately we saw a drip in temp so we took it easy back to camp AGT, and left him idle down, and finally shut him off.

Monday:
Went out to Stinky and amidst all of the packing going on checked the oil and water. And that's where problems struck. Stinky had gotten more than a bit warm and indeed had lost a lot of coolant.

Filling him with water only made things worse as it was running out almost as fast as I filled.

To make a very long story short, Nate and Dan put in an awesome effort of getting tot he water pump inlet, and coating it with RTV sealant so it held water a lot better.

We then convoyed down to Coffs harbour and another lunch at the Planto, where we were left by the others.

Kitty and I then found accomodation basically opposite the Mazda dealer - The temporary repair was holding water but we felt it was safer to pay to get it fixed in a place we are familiar with rather than Joe-Randoms on the highway... Why Mazda? Well they were in town (meaning we could walk between hotel, town and Mazda without a car or taxi cost), those guys know BP motors, the dad of an old school friend worked there.

So on Tuesday morning I went in and told my sad tale. The Service manager and mechnic had a good look att he car, noted the same engine bay (basically smallest BA platform bay) and took on the job. They called just before lunch to say that they're got it apart, and replaced the blown gasket, and put it together.

After lunch they called to say it was together and holding water. Relief was and understatement at that point.

We picked him up not long after, and yes a stellar job had been done.

I cannot recommend Fitzroy Motors in Coffs Harbour enough, they took the time to get us back on the road, did the job right and did it fast (they've only got a small workshop, but as the only Mazda dealer around they're well trained and very well equipped) the price was also very reasonable.

Rather than do a run through the night, we stayed on in Coffs Harbour and left around 10am Wednesday.

Summary:
* Dirt roads suck when travelling A-B
* GPS (even $249 Soniq units) rocks
* Sometimes sh!t just goes wrong
* Stinky can be very economical
* AGT is a family, not just a club or website

Thank you to everyone who came, each of you made your own impacts on the weekend and I'm sure things will be even more amazing at the next one.

[newman]

[Rupewrecht]

Frog was taking heaps of footage from my car - just gotta wait for the 2 DVDs to arrive from Kylie!

[newman]

[skitz]

hahaha i have all the movies muhahahaha nah i am working on it atm i just want to know what imbarissing things i am sending dan before i do :P

as for that photo thats shame i cant even remember it being taken mind u i look pritty out of it there :P

[Mazda_Brian]

I still cant get oiver how many people turned up, and the fun that was had. I was only there for a few hours each day, but still had a brilliant time, and it was great to catch up with heaps of people, and meet heaps of others.

This club shares a bond between it's members that I am sure no other club even comes close to, there is not only internet connection, but genuine care from all the members to the others.

Top weekend, am already busting to do it all again (even after 2 car washes, 1 ECU resit, 1 suspension ECU reset, 1 injector flush, and a full home detail).

Hey, who was the person that took the photo of Jesse, Jordyn (the baby) and me (the other baby)??? Can I grab a copy of that photo :)

Cheers and see you all again next year.

Brian.

[chicaboo]

so you guys actually went out to point lookout! i hope it was a clear day.Hahaha, it was pea soup fog!!! :p Still, that added to the experience anyhow. :)

Danielsan whats the go with the primed boot, show some class and leave it with the original colour when in public, or are you afraid you may be overcome by the grey cools of a thunderous bat.
One thing is disappointing to me though


I lend you all Nate for one weekend...............
And the silliest Natester pic is the palm tree.....

[Rupewrecht]

You must be going blind Pete, if you don't remmeber your own boot still in it's Chunder grey as i got it :p

And if it was going to leave it it's original color, i'd have to strip it off to the Passion Rose that's underneath the Grey :p :p :p

[boostedbatman]

The passion rose is a virus my car attained whch I had to overcome, I still have less colours than you, Im THUNDER grey and pink and black
But you can keep your man pink if it pleases you xxx

[chicaboo]

My silliest pic is of Marc and Tash though... :p

[Rupewrecht]

I almost had one with the palm tree on his head, but he took it down before i could take the pic!

Pet, of course you have less colors than me - all you have is shades of 'dust'

[coley]

[Bear]

one of the weird things is ... even though you'd think I could never hear the phrase "sexy time" without cringing ... there we are, hanging out of a cab in King's Cross, yelling it out the window at passing people ... the driver was about to crash because he was laughing so hard :D

[coley]

[Cosmo Dude]

Mods can go back and remove the offending posts...

Please

[bourbon]

its not that its offending...its just its private conversation...

[KittyKatSmack]

Mods can go back and remove the offending posts...

Please

I shall make it so.

There are many posts that are spamming up the thread where most folks just want to find out about Dorrigo.

Dare I say it......
Please keep this on topic, it's a bit stupid atm and you are trying to get a rise out of people with your conversation.

C'mon guys n gals, lets all remember that we are a part of a family, and thick or thin, that's the way it is. Families fight, get upset, cry, laugh, enjoy and love, but all at the same time??????

Anyway, please please please, lets not continue alienating the other members with your 'special' sect/cult/gang/whatever.
You are continuing to upset people, like you did at Dorrigo, have you not learnt that treating people this way causes problems?

Now then, to use my super moderator powers for good instead of evil.....

muahahahahahahahaha

[marcs_sp20]

I will add some more foto's up here in the next couple of days :)

I had a WRX almost fall on me when the jack collapsed. Never again will I be so stupid !

Funny you mention that, that very trolley jack collapsed the very next time I used it at a friends place. :eek:>:( A wheel gave way and it tipped over a little, neither of us were under the car at the time. Luckiy it didn't fail for these guys, as I'm not sure they were using jack-stands either.
