The "Later M8 Cruze" 13th Nov 2005

[uk hsv]

Some of you may know that "EH*ROB" is going home to OZ after some 13yrs in the UK..............

Rob is a Holden/HSV man trough and through and has supported the Holden owners club and the Hsv Drivers club since day one..........

So to say good bye to Rob and family in style we are going to have a cruze from Southampton (Rob's home town) to Kent along the coast.

The details are being sorted but a rough plan is to leave Southampton on the 13th around 9.00am and drive along the coast to Rainham in Kent to meet up with the Kent chapter of the HSV Drivers Club..... and have a BBQ at "Greens".......

This Cruze is open to all not just Holden/HSV owners so if you can make it please come along........

Count me in +1

Could I suggest a mass strike up of all the cars.

Also what about a Holden Salute Drive-by to Rob. I.e. Rob stands at side of road whilst we drive slowly past with lights ablaze, engines revving and horns tooting.

Count me & sooze in for sure & if Rob or any of his crew need a ride, two seats spare in the coupe.

[BigNige]

Could be on for that.

Collect me along the Brighton seafront?

"Collect me along the Brighton seafront"

Sounds like a good photo op..... I think we will have about 8 cars by the time we get to Brighton.......

[EH*ROB]

Madeira drive is deffo the place for a photo oppo...means I can get up late too 'cos it's only 5mins from my gaff.

[damoace]

could be up for that (southampton almost second home for me these days) I'll grab the diary...

[Raggyman]

You will have to make sure that your place back home is plenty big enough for all of us to crash in the back yard. Preferably somewhere close to Bathurst... it is an awesome place to live! (hint, hint).

[HSVGTSCoupe]

C'mon Rob... you r losing yr touch, mines a GTS Coupe!

[td*ute]

Really great idea. I'll be there. It will be a great send off for Rob, Karen and the girls and for once I won't have to get up early!!!
Lets see if we can get a record amount of Holdens (and V. Monaro's)in one place at one time in the UK.
(Caspy, you may have to clear out your car park!)

[V8HSV]

Nice, I'll be there even if it's in a smart!

[Mike HSV]

Great idea, ill pull out the stops to be in for this one, got to keep up the number of proper HSV cars there for Rob. Will keep an eye on the thread to see your route and meet you somewhere near Brighton too if that ok? Where are you going to meet them Trev(TD_UTE)??

Yes mate, love to buy one of the apartments in the Mount Panorama Resort, being built at Caltex Chase. But don't think I'm gonna convince the misses to move to Bathurst hay mate.

What ever we get, there's gonna have to be room for the odd visitor from the UK.

Be great to see ya's !

Rob.
