New Cruise - minus the angry pills

[locutus_of_bris]

Ok, so we got that out of our system. I seem to recall seing a thread about a cruise to the sunny coast and back, being a full day event. I also heard some ideas and comments. Lets kick it off from there again shall we...........

Yes, it's a great idea. Lets keep the idea happening and get ideas for a date, time and major places to go......

Now, my own thoughts:

How long - A half or full day event sounds great. Saturday night was only a taste of what's to come I think

Where - Sunshine coast is great. Maybe some nice back roads on the trip up and out through kennelworth then back down the beach fronts (just a thought anyway, some nice roads up there).

When - At leasts a few weeks or a month from now so people can plan for this. Maybe Mid to late May (not the sprint day on the 24th). Are there any other events we need to avoid?

Who - My own opinion is we need to walk before be drift (ok, run). We had 30 maybe 35 cars saturday night which was I think more than we expected. There's no reason we can't do that and more for this event. I am thinking we should keep it to SAU for this one and keep on with the "getting to meet poeple and enjoy the cars" thing. If we have heaps of cars from several clubs it would look great, but be more work and harder to control (and I tend to think it would have more risks in general).

Ok, over to you. Ideas, comments please. Just please keep this on topic and civil. Once we get a better idea of what we all want then we can move this into the events forum.

Cheers

locutus i dont think erins cruise is dead..... its still possible to salvage something from it, so long as we can maintain some maturity and resist from attacking each other.

and yes organising a cruise is hard work and lots of comunicating

nismogirl and i worked hard to ensure the whole group stayed together on sat night.

[locutus_of_bris]

Thanks Bel. Yeah, I think the cruise is not dead, but the thread should be. All I could think is who would want to read those 2 pages of crap then seriously think about going. Just thought it was time to begin again. I don't want this to be my thread, or cruise. So Erin, come on down and take charge....

[chaos]

If you can hold it off to say late may early june i should be able to rock up, im keen for a half or a full day cruise doesnt bother me where too either

[Guest neoGT-25]

if i have my L's im in

im about to get my kakimoto exhaust system HOO RAAA!

[pinto]

Again I'm in,

I think if we're going to add clubbs, we should do it one at a time. Have us get to know each other then bring in a club, then another. Too many unknowns is too unpredictable.

yeh especially if some nice gtr's rocked up wouldnt want some shitty holden drifting into them

[speed freak]

Would it not provide a sense of appreciation and some friendly sportsmanship? Could prove to be a very interesting experiment with the five of them.....escorts against skylines, zx's against lasers....lol...could prove a chance for a good laugh.

I do admit that such a task in arranging would be a nightmare but surely someone is up for the challenge????? I feel a dare coming on.

[chaos]

dare someone to park there holden on a corner and get a ford to drift around it

[Guest neoGT-25]

lol

[chaos]

good for a laugh and no lines will be hurt

[speed freak]

well....sounds like everyone would be keen....lol.

Wondering what the guys on the other four groups think. Do they know what plans lay in store?

As i said it would be a real tough one to organise but a real sense of achievement if it could be pulled of successfully.

But who to follow...that is the question

[BelGarion]

**** it im quiting cruising, the amount of shit that has been put on people like me who work their ass off for their car then get crap dumped on em is just bullshit, yas can ****in cruise all ya want, count me out

[Guest Boxhead]

personally i woudl rather the idea of a skylines australia only cruise, mainly coz this is skylines australia,

if people want to cruise with the other clubs, they will sign up there, and cruise with them...

this is nothing against other clubs, i just think it looks great when you have all similar cars going around, i know on mad mtn runs it has stopped traffic..

bel - i dont think anything was said directly about you or your cruise organising, i thought you and erin both did a great job on the last one...please keep it up

[chaos]

i have to agree with boxy i dont really like the idea of having other clubs with ppl ur not familar with. especially if they drift into you

[nismoman18]

Keep it all model SKYLINEs only, and maybe the few unlucky skyline enthusiasts that have shitboxes or other cars (poor bastards). GTR's upfront, N/A GTS (me ) down the back

Bel scr@w those that dis you. Have you seen mine. It has the front bumper all banged up and the bonnet full of stone chips and the wheels rimmed. They can say all they want but it is the pride that you carry inside that matters

[NismoGirl]

I thought this thread would be different but yous are still bagging out other people..

Yous are all stereotyping people and its ridiculous.

As far as I'm concerned, if everyone here is going to have the attitude of "Skylines only.." I'm not going to be associated with that crap. Yes its a skylines australia forum but doesn't mean we need to limit it to just "SKYLINE PEOPLE"

If that's the case, are most of you's going to pull out of the Drift day that slip is organising.. cause god forbid he invite other people to our skyline drift day...

[slip]

Erin, they have to be in the event to pull out, the only people going have good (debatable in some cases i know) heads on their shoulders.

Dont mind having some cruises as skylines only, and some with others.

[krawler]

I think I'll organise the cruise that I mentioned but invite only people I actually enjoy the company of. A much smaller day out, but hopefully one everyone enjoys instead of elitist attitudes ruining everything.
