Title: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: WebGoat on Tuesday, 04 October, 2011, 05:24:03 AM G'day gang,
HMAS Cerberus is holding an open day to the public featuring all sorts of stuff including a display by The Purvis Eureka Car Club of Australia ;D It is on Sunday October the 23rd (the weekend before our National Meet in Mildura) and more details will be posted here as they come to hand so stay tuned folks. Here's a pic from when we had a great day out at the 2007 event. 8) (http://users.tpg.com.au/pl30f4/eurekas/Dsc00307a.jpg) PP. Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day.

HMAS Cerberus. Hard-won rugby games and massive bar room brawls afterward. Those were the days. As a young Army lad I "stowed away" often at night in the ladies lines... Simon Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Morris on Wednesday, 05 October, 2011, 04:01:37 AM Hi Paul
I wanted to take my car for a run before going to Mildura so count me in. This dose mean washing the car twice in a week, it might shrink! Morris Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: WYKED1 on Wednesday, 05 October, 2011, 04:13:37 AM Morris

I have to be, that's how I get 31 Oct off, for a nice long weekend. Simon are you sure it was the ladies lines? It was dark I presume? ;D

Due to it being the last weekend to sort out nasties with the reek (lots of new bits), if the reek is ready, we are there with bells on. We had an awesome time at the last gathering there, and it would be good to take the reek out for a long drive before the meet. He has to wash 3 years of dust off it which could take some time..... Fingers and toes are crossed. Mez Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Morris on Friday, 07 October, 2011, 08:09:00 AM Good to hear from you Mez
JAMES seems to think plastic cars dont shrink when they are washed but it depends on how hot the water is! :-\ Morris Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: pep on Saturday, 08 October, 2011, 12:55:34 PM hey morris was great to chat to you before i will see you at cerberus
Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Dennis_B on Sunday, 09 October, 2011, 11:17:04 AM I've just replaced my throttle cable & fitted a Ceramic Heater for Demister/Heating so there's a good chance I'll be there.
Is there any "Western" Melbourne/Geelong based Reekers interested in Catching the Ferry from Queenscliff? Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: D4 on Monday, 10 October, 2011, 08:31:22 AM ;D Just on speck how much would a car and car trailer cost on the ferry? eg; 3 car spaces. Mate
Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Dennis_B on Monday, 10 October, 2011, 10:31:22 AM I think it would be fairly expensive... at least $80-100 Each Way...
Would be worth checking out there website I think... Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Dennis_B on Tuesday, 11 October, 2011, 08:51:28 AM Eureka is all fixed... Throttle Cable replacement has made a massive difference to the car... Secondaries on Carby are now opening and it goes like a Rotary powered rocket :)
Idle is probably a bit high at 1500rpm... but it's making a nice Rotary style "Bap,Bap,Bap" noise so I'm not complaining... Let me know details as I'm keen for the run... Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Dennis_B on Monday, 17 October, 2011, 07:52:46 AM Any Updates Paul?
Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Toxic-Rock on Monday, 17 October, 2011, 08:02:06 AM Hi all,
Still not sure what time to show up at the main gate, but the base is open to the public from 10 to 4. I think 0900 would be fine. When I hear more, I will let you know. Rock Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: WebGoat on Tuesday, 18 October, 2011, 03:17:30 AM G'day Rock,
What if we meet up beforehand so we can all cruise in together like we did last time? :) Maybe we could meet up at your place or somewhere easily accessable if your place in not convenient. That might make it a bit easier for those of us who don't really know where to go. :P PP. Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Toxic-Rock on Tuesday, 18 October, 2011, 08:42:11 AM Ok, sounds like a good idea. Howabout at McDonalds in Hastings? Its on the corner of Frankston-Flinders Rd and High st. Say 0845? My place is a little bit far to meet. I'm in Rye now.
Rock Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Morris on Tuesday, 18 October, 2011, 02:47:01 PM Hi Rock
Sounds good to me, I know where that is. - That makes a good start to the day. Webgoat and I will come over together. Morris Title: Re: HMAS Cerberus open day. Post by: Toxic-Rock on Monday, 24 October, 2011, 11:24:56 AM Thanks to Paul, Morris, Tim, Greg, Ted and son who attended the HMAS Cerberus car display. Paul walked away with a princely sum for his efforts. Good on ya mate. Though the car display was down on numbers from previous years, the quality was certainly there. We had five Eureka's so our fellow car lovers knew we were there. We were treated to a variety of entertainment. Aerobatics, Parachuting and many more displays. We as usual spent most of our time spinning yarns.
