Seq's Biggest Cruise On Again! - All For Charity


Recommended Posts

DISCLAIMER: If I have only just joined your forum, please read this cruise thread as it may be something you have intrest in, and I am just trying to let as many people know about it as I can. Mods and Admin, please email me on [email protected] or PM me on here if you wish to discuss being more involved with this event. I will be back reguarly to answer any questions members may have. This could be the perfect way to spread word of your forum or club.

Howdy All,

Well it's been sometime since I dusted off my cruise boots and got something happening, and a unique oppurtunity has crossed my path again, so I have decided to put a few things together and have another big event.

This event will have NATIONAL news coverage, Magazine Coverage and Radio Station's in attendance. Along with numerous Corporate Sponsors there on the day with giveaways for all who attend. I will not list them here to effect website sponsors. But you will get some goodies :blink:

Some may be aware, some may not, but I am the current Gold Coast Ambassador, and also an Ambassador for Bravehearts, a charity that protects and councils children affected by sexual abuse, and the benificiary of the funds raised by this cruise.

And it will be a MASSIVE event. Last year we had some crappy weather, and still managed over 500 cars, bikes and trucks. This year will be your chance to have your car shown on national tv and magazines, in a GOOD light, and showing that the 'hoon' community can do some good. (Yes I dislike that word as well.) We made National news last year.

We are getting huge support from alot of clubs and organisations such as BUACA (Bikers United Against Child Abuse), and Mack Trucks supplying a large contigent of trucks to join the convoy. The day is open to ALL makes and models of vehicles, trucks and bikes. All clubs and websites, small and large.

This cruise isnt about a long drive, in fact the drive itself will take approx 30mins, however, it is the cause that is important. Child abuse is something that must be brought into the light as often as possible, as many times this kids cant protect themselves, and have their lives shattered by those they thought they could trust. This event is all about raising awareness and speaking out against Child Abuse.

All I ask, is that everyone able to attend, come along to this event, the meeting place WILL be a bit chaotic, and it will be a mission to get everyone out and moving effectivly, so the Police have been engaged to provide assistance in keeping lights open, and intersections free, as well as providing an escort for the trip itself. They have ASSURED me, they will NOT be setting up defect stations or the like, (for those who wish to be negative and try and stir that up). (They gave the same assurances last year and were a huge help with the day, AND they stuck to their word's).

Donations can be made on the day at the 'Registrations' table. (Where you will recieve information on the event path itself and can ask any questions to staff of Bravehearts.).

If any wish to know, I have been running events such as this for a long, long time and I appreciate that whilst I may not be an active member in the cruising scene as much any more, I certainly know how to plan events such as this.

So without further adu I will give you some details.

DATE: Sunday September 9th

TIME: 10.15am for a 11.30am Departure.

LOCATION TO MEET: Yatala Drive In Complex located just off the Pacific Motorway (M1) at 100 Jacobs Well Road (Yatala North Exit 38 and follow the Signs).

WHILE YOU WAIT: There will be a Canteen Bar open, a raffle with some awesome prizes and a huge amount of vehicles to look at. Not to mention numerous Corporate Sponsors (Radio Stations, Drink Companies, Food Companies etc) having numerous giveaways to you all. Many Media outlets taking Pictures at the time.

DESTINATION: Parklands Sports Complex. Smith St. Parkwood. Gold Coast. (Exit 66 S/B on the M1).

ARRIVE: Est 12pm.

AFTER YOU ARRIVE: More gawking at some awesome cars and then well........you are on the Gold Coast, perfect excuse to goto the beach :). In essence that will be the end of the event at Parklands. More Media outlets taking pictures at this destination.

Thats it. It doesnt get much simpler than this, and for such a great cause to support. The reason for this is to get the message of Bravehearts out there in the open more, and for a COMMUNITY to band together and support something. This is a chance to really make an impact and perhaps, just perhaps change public perception a little bit.

All funds raised from Donations and Raffles is for the benifit of Bravehearts.

If you are a member of a Car club, such as the Monaro Club, I REALLY want to try and get some of these car clubs on board, this will be great exposure for you. Please contact your Club Presisdent and see what he/she has to say on the matter, if they wish to contact me I can be reached via PM here, or on 0413 994 137, Phonecall being the best way to reach me atm, as things are a little chaotic!

So yeah, thats about it. Lets make this massive. Get ya car on National News, and have it shown in a GOOD light, all the while supporting a cause that really needs all your help.

This is even one event were some younger drivers might even invite their parents. This is all about a GOOD cruise. What we all love and enjoy.

Of course it goes without saying that stupid behaviour will not be tolerated on this cruise. I really don't think anyone would be THAT dumb to ruin something that could be so good.

A final note: We realise this is on the final day of "PowerCruise", however, it is also the final day of "White Balloon Week" the world wide awareness week regarding Child Sexual Abuse - hence the reason why we have chosen this date. Please consider social awareness if you are torn between the two events, as it stands "PowerCruise" runs for 3 days, this is a once a year event. Thankyou. Take care.

Chris

This sounds like a very worthwhile cause, and I for one am up for supporting it. I say let's get our skyline brothers and sisters out to this and show our support, as Chris said, it's a way of supporting a very needy cause, as well as showcasing our club in a GOOD light :domokun: Let us know if you need any help at all :wave:

Less than a month now and numbers are looking well above last years. Again, if you are coming in large groups, please try and meet up somewhere prior and come thru all together, that way you will be parked together and will be in line together on the cruise itself.

i would think BP yatla will be VERY full of people doing the same thing.

may i suggest somewhere else instead, like yatla pies? or up the road from there?

depending on car numbers.

good point, i thot that just after i posted, hmm pies sounds good but the car park aint that big is it? spose depends on nos.

any other suggestions?

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
