Saturday the 5th of January saw our little cruise go ahead, we happened to have the weather on our side, a cooler day which was great.
We all met up at the location, unfortunately two late scratchings so we had six cars in total: Kustomchris, bathsoap (new member the night before!), Subaruby, Pezimm, Rodeo4Jake and myself.
As usual I neglected to get a group photo at the meet point... So I got half the group on the dry weather only section of Shannon's lane:
Shortly after Shannon's lane we made it into the bush to the start of the bush track. Kustomchris's H6 liberty looking mean:
Subaruby was in his lifted Gen 2 liberty on the first little climb:
Followed by Bathsoap in his impreza that he'll be looking into lifting at some stage:
The group on the seasonal track that follows the Macedon Range westish:
And at the planned destination for lunch - but all we did was talk:
Subaruby got some group shots, once again I missed out - too busy chin wagging!
From here we said goodbye to Kustomchris and Bathsoap. Thanks for coming and making the effort guys! It was great to meet you.
Since the day wasn't over after more talk we headed out to the Memorial Cross:
From here we headed down the southern side of the mountain after scouting out other tracks that were closed. It was a good drive past some fabulous gardens, then onto another area at the base of the mountain that I had forgotten about. I had done some exploring in this area years ago, but I never remember it being this much fun nor having this much variety!
Finally a pic of Pezimm:
We had some good climbs etc. Pic will tell the story, it was great fun anyway!

They do look nice & steep indeed 
I understand what you say about the gear matching though and it makes sense for subaru to do this in the mass production general consumer ideals - but I don't think we all fit into this category
