My Z's Near Miss 04.11.13
On a pleasant Sunday afternoon while with my wife waiting to pick up my brother law from his work. My wife gets a phone call from her dad shouting to her, that a major car accident has just happened right out the front of his house and right were my beautiful Z was parked. So we rushed home to see what had happened, and when we got there it was a chaotic scene with a ford sedan laying on its side right next to my Z. The car had ran over a series of traffic signs and a small round about prior to crossing the wrong side of the road and losing control eventually hitting 2 brick fences and landing on its side. By the time we arrived there were already a couple of police, paramedics and firefighters already attending to the driver of the vehicle still trapped inside his car. My mother in-law took this photo before I had a chance to move it. I quickly parked my wife's car and rushed over to my Z and moved it out of the emergency services way. Unfortunately as lucky as my Z was to not get hit directly by the sedan. My wife noticed some minor damaged to my lower LH side door. Here is what the scene looked like after woulds. And here is the damaged most likely caused by a small piece of brick hitting my door during the impact of the sedan and the 2 brick fence's. I know its only a minor dent and its nothing I can't live with. But this was not my fault and I was being told by family member's that I should make a report with the police and hopefully the police report will allow the insurance company to be able to have the area repair without me needing to pay my excess. After the yellow sedan was finally removed from the scene, I made a report with the police about the damage my Z had suffered from the accident and from what the officer told me, I should be able to claim this incident with the insurance without having to pay any excess. I have contacted my insurance company and I have given them everything I received from the police officer's and I will need to wait for the insurance company to call me back in the next few days and go from there. I parked my Z back into the same spot it was when the accident occurred and I still can't believe how close my Z came to disaster. Thank you Z gods for protecting my Z.

Australia's best restoration car 2 years in a row. [/CENTRE] one of only 7 soft top Ford utes still in Australia. [CENTRE] and to finish the tour was a very long discussion with rod on his high speed Holden sedan salt lake racer. To date he has Australia's fastest car with an impressive 259.9 miles per hour atm. The car is currently in a bad shape after blowing up his clutch at a recent slat lake race. He is aiming for 300 mph but he has alot of fine tuning still to work out but he is confident he can make that mark.

The Silver Bullet This is one very impressive machine. 27 Litre Tank engine Rolls Royce limousine. Apparently Rod stated it has a fuel milage of 0.5 of a mile to the gallon:O. He also said he wouldn't sell it for less then 1.2 Million but we all saw it as priceless. The other half of the museum was the Display section with a huge showcase of awards Rod's has earned over the years. V8 chev Motor built in 1955

Ross hard at work on the BBQZ:). The best place to eat and socialise was the garage. The sun by this time of the day was burning the skin temperature would have been 30ish degrees Celsius.

We had a new member breakdown on the way to castlemaine and so we all pulled over while the cruise director was informed of the situation. I took a few quick pix before we continued to the lunch destination. Here we are all parked in one of our members massive backyard. As you can imagine everyone was very hungry and though Ross (the home owner) had already started cooking on the BBQ, the food was being eating up so fast Ross couldn't keep up with demand. But he did an expect job and this has to have been the best BBQ I have ever had in my life:).

The next destination was Mount Macedon. The road leading to the carpark at Mt Macedon As we arrived into the carpark, it became clear we werent the only car club coming to Mt Macedon. An exotic super sports car club had also gathered in the car park featuring a couple of posches, a 350Z vert, a Masarati and 2 Lamborghini's. I waited till everyone left to go to the summit of Mt Macedon and then wondered over to the beautiful exotic cars and took some photos. But no matter how good these cars look I still find the Z32 my dream car.- [AUS] Goldfields Cruise 2013
Highly Modified 200SX.- [AUS] Goldfields Cruise 2013
As you can see we had the whole 4 lane freeway to ourselves:) We arrived in gisborne where we were to meet up with the rest of the Z's attending today's cruise. Everyone quickly started socialising while we waited for the other group to arrive and I think the blue 200SX catch the eye of most of the group.- [AUS] Goldfields Cruise 2013
