It was pretty good.

I probably should've taken the EL out for one last cruise. (A working heater being the #1 reason!)

Umm yeah...

It was a good cruise. I did get a bit lost along with mark_TD, SBR_1, Kenster, and xgme. We all ended up going through Endeavour Hills about 4 or 5 times. The car ran well, and didn't give any trouble. Not the warmest of nights, but it certainly wasn't the coldest we've had.

It was a great and cold night. We all ended at KK's instead of the last meet point for a coffee.

Great map, I'm glad to see it in an area I know for a change.

First cruise for me, (well, half a cruise, I had to leave after the second stop). Got lost a couple of times, took someone on a ummm... scenic route once... sorry... Shoulda listened to the missus' directions rather than make up my own...

Look forward to the next one, hopefully I can go to all of it this time

As much i live close to the area but i never driven into the place, for i know i never been past a place more then once in my life now. As dezza said it was an interesting cruise with the longest way to get one point just for a few seconds.
