Calling ALL Aussies!!!

Hi Guys,
After many years owning high performance jap imports etc, i have moved on the greener pastures of the v8 X5.
The thing i'm missing is the club cruises and occasional track day.
So please if your in NSW (or willing to travel) and interested in events like the ones listed above , drop me a line on this thread, and as long as there is more than just me, i'll start the ball rolling...
Cheers

Let's go guys! We are X5WORLD and we've had plenty of American meets. Now it's time for another continent to get in on it.

Maybe able to help you out - I know there's this BMW meet/cruise that is being put together for July 20 in Sydney if your interested?

Okay - got permission from my friend Kimberley (Miss325) who lives in Sydney to post this up for you Aussies.
"Hey, he is welcome to come along Would be nice to get some diversity on the cruise "

She has about 21 BMW rides going to this cruise. Take some great pics, represent X5World! Looks like it's planned out and would be a nice cruise. Tell her the Major sent you!

Hi All!

I think we are all due for another Sydney cruise

The cruise will start from our meeting point at Olympic Park in Homebush Bay. We will be leaving via James Ruse Drive and Windsor Road where we will pass through Windsor and the lower Blue Mountains. Continuing on we'll take the Bells Line of Road to Bell where we'll cut across the Darling Causeway to Mt. Victoria, heading down the highway to the second meeting spot at Katoomba!

Once we're there, everyone should be able to find some parking (street parking or in Katoomba centre) and then time for lunch at a place which we can determine on the day (depends on numbers etc.) as there are a lot of places there.

From Katoomba, you can either make your own way back down to Sydney via the Great Western Highway (which is a lot shorter), or any other way which suits you best. Again, depending on interest and numbers, we can all cruise back down to Sydney together.

I am sure it will be a great day, with lots of great roads to drive with great scenery too! The mountains are fantastic at this time of year!

Date: Sunday 20th July, 2008
Time: 9:30am, for a 10am departure
Meeting Point: Under the Ferris Wheel. On the Corner of Riverina Avenue and Australia
Avenue (Pictured below)



Where to: Katoomba
What to bring: Full tank of fuel, money for lunch when we get there, sensible driving attitude and CB Radios if you have them
Who: Anyone who wants to bring their BMW along

Written directions with a map (Like the one below) will be provided for all participants.



Hope to see you there!

Hey I'm sorry I missed this last meet but didn't have an X5 them, would have been a hoot.

Hi I'm from Sydney, anyone up for a meet soon, we now own a 2007 X5 4.8 having traded a Honda Civic Type R.

We also own a MINI Cooper S and do lots of drives with ClubMINI and NSW Pirates in our MINI's.

So Im keen to catch up with other X5 owners and do a drive day, we live close to Homebush Olympic Park.

Some suggestions I'll put forward are
South Coast Macquarrie pass, Kangeroo Valley Rd
Noth direction - Putty Rd & George Downs Drive
West direction - Jenolan Caves Road

I'm into photography so the trip would be well documented with lots of PPLS cars

We have UHF's to keep intouch with each other whilst on convoy

WHO'S UP FOR IT?

Cheers
JohnG

Sorry to offend you, but you clearly have never been involved in the "Jap Import" scene, or you would know this is what the whole world calls it.
BTW is that a half haked women in your profile pic??? Guess that makes you a sexist pig..... I'm sure you get my drift....also you don't sound too Aussie to me so stop visiting my thread if you don't have anything useful to say.....
Have a niccccccccceeeeee day "dude"
