C.A.R. Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 10:00AM Meeting point at Chirnside Park Kmart Auto Car Park Maroondah Hwy & Black Springs Rd Chirnside Park 3116 Melways page 37, in F5 and G5 11:30AM Leave first meeting point heading to Buxton via Maroondah Hwy Quick stop at Maroondah Reservoir/Dam to bunch up and let everyone catch up before we hit the Black Spur as a group. 12:30-1:00PM Arrive at Igloo Roadhouse for the famous Buxton Burgers 2:30PM Head back towards Melbourne (if everyone gets through the burgers by this time) 3:00PM Show and Shine, chit chat and brag, photos and vids at Fernshaw Picnic Grounds car park. 4:00PM (or more if needed) Heading back to Melbourne. Apart from the departure time of 11:30AM, all other times are APPROXIMATES ONLY and may change throughout the day. There is always Police presence on the Spur and it is notorious for accidents, be sure to take care through it. This is a cruise and not a race so enjoy it for what it is, a cruise. Safe driving and enjoy the day. LIST OF THINGS TO BRING ARE 2 WAY RADIOS IF YOU HAVE THEM, FULL TANK OF FUEL ALTHOUGH YOU CAN FILL UP AT BUXTON, PLENTY OF DRINKING WATER TO STAY HYDRATED DURING THE DRIVE, SOME COOLANT IN CASE THE CAR OVERHEATS AND SOME BASIC TOOLS IF YOU CAN. ALSO HATS AND SUN SCREEN WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. APART FROM THAT BRING AN APPETITE AS THEM BURGERS ARE MASSIVE!! The Igloo Roadhouse 2220 Maroondah Highway BUXTON VIC 3711 Phone/Fax: 03 5774 7451 Email: theigloo@virtual.net.au Nestled in the little town of Buxton at the foothills of the magnificent Cathedral Ranges, the Igloo Roadhouse is about 1.5 hours from Melbourne along the Maroondah Highway. Once you get to Buxton, the roadhouse is only 400m down the road from the Buxton Hotel. Who's in? Quote

Gordo Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Only a couple of weeks to go. I should be there . Just up the road for me. The black spurr is always fun. And a good chance to catch up with a few of the boys. Quote
Gordo Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Anyone coming on this drive day ? . Dosan't seem to be any movement at the station. Quote
luvemfast Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Anyone coming on this drive day ? . Dosan't seem to be any movement at the station. I've just come back from a mantrip and going to a concert tomrrow night, so think its a bit rude to tell my wife that I'm going for a drive Saturday........ Will see if dad wants to tag along in the Z though. Quote
C.A.R. Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Yes I'm going - assuming I don't have to work Saturday... Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 1, 2011 Moderators Posted February 1, 2011 Perfect timing again....our house is up for auction on the 5th... this is happening waaaaayyyy to often. dammit. Quote
C.A.R. Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Relieve stress & come for a drive Dimitri! The paperwork can be signed later Quote
Johnboy Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 You can count me in!! I'll have to challenge this burger I have heard so much about. John Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 1, 2011 Moderators Posted February 1, 2011 It is tempting and legal to drive the zed on this cruise now...received from Vicroads the new log book scheme. But the house thing is a sort of a priority. Quote
zedevan Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I'm going to try to make it, from memory this cruise is part of another car club yeah? if so, which one is it? Quote
620Z Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 No Evo I think it's a Lurch initiative. I will be there in the Zed if no rain. If rain then I will come along with a new support vehicle I picked up today. Quote
dalee Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 new support vehicle I picked up today. Its been 5yrs with the territory already! Quote
620Z Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 4 Years and got something a little slower. Hmmmm I must be getting old. I will get used to it I hope. :-\ Quote
Johnboy Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Guys, I have just been informed my services are needed tomorrow at work... So will not be able to make the drive. ps. if anyonewant to help sort out 12 pallets of stock with me let me know. Have fun and don't think of me stuck in a coolroom with hundreds of cartons of salmon.. John Quote
luvemfast Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Poor excuse John, make up a better one next time. Smells fishy to me...... what are you really doing? Sure you're not busy buying all those pills from bennypars? Quote
C.A.R. Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 I'm out - driving in the rain doesn't appeal to me... Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 4, 2011 Moderators Posted February 4, 2011 I was thinking you guys would've had to change it to "Paddle to Buxton Burger".. we got some serious downpours around my area.. Quote
620Z Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah. Might give it a miss as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there was damage to the Black Spur road anyway. Maybe another time. Cheers Quote
zedevan Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Yep, cool, i'm out, although i have enjoyed the local flash flooding! Quote
luvemfast Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Make a new date then! Maybe I can come at a later stage, since your all allergic to water Quote
Johnboy Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Poor excuse John, make up a better one next time. Smells fishy to me...... what are you really doing? Sure you're not busy buying all those pills from bennypars? Hey luvemfast, meet you at toll transport the turnoff just before the westgate if you wanna help... or i can meet you after 2pm it your up for a arvo run. I'd rather drive in the rain than work anyday! John Quote
