Wow... Thanks for feedback guys. Nathan I'll definitely be organising for the Friday the 19th, since it seems to work better fridays. And general talk of a monthly cruise sounds good.

Meet at 9.00pm

SOR: Tobin do you wanna take this one?

Leech Hwy McDonalds

NOR:

Citywest carpark.

*I may see if I can shanghai another friend to set up a meet point further out towards the hills, so if anybody's interested hit us up with a comment so we can work out numbers*

Everybody's both welcomed and encouraged to bring friends and non-SAU import drivers, whether as passengers or drivers :P

All 'round should be fun.

lol this is the funniest cruise thread I've read *shakes head* tsk tsk little kiddies. Glad you decided against Northbridge omg and Rockeby Road? Wooo Speed Bumps ftl !!!

I won't make it to this one it looks like a fail :happy:

Best advice I and anyone on here would give you (as I think it's been previously mentioned) make sure you run the cruise before you post it, you'll know what does and doesnt' work! If you have a 'bright' idea like ermm crowded places, go run it on a friday or saturday night, if you see the obstacle and difficulty for your own car (times that by 50 - 100 cars), then be realistic and realise it's going to fail and you won't look liek a bunch of try hard kids trying to make a cruise name for yourselves...

If this one goes well and gets good feeback, I'll come on the next

Good luck

Don't worry ill go through North bridge for all those people disappointing they couldn't go through cos all the lamo old ppl thought it was a bad idea... :) Friday nights in North bridge are far from hectic, my goodness its hard enough trying to find a place thats good enough to persuade me to get out of my car let alone looking out for places to avoid. Friday's nights in Perth blow and not even going to start on the night during the week, that's why i assume allot of people would prefer to go on a cruise on Friday opposed to Saturday because there really nothing else better to do. Who knows maybe a few extra cars would lighten the place up?

;):starwars: :starwars: :starwars:

This is MADDNESS!

well if anyone wants to meet up further north say joondalup way lol

I'm sure myself, reaper83 and probably Stealthed would be down for that. Joondalup FTW!

Okay, I just read through the thread now for the first time. Damnit...you guys put my name down as one of the organisers...but you went and did this while i was overseas. *shakes head*

like MeLSki has said... finalise the map and run it before posting in future :P

So...my calendar's free so i'll probably be there. uhm...i'm not too sure about the separate meet points though, and i haven't run through the map with you yet, so i can't really give it my stamp of approval. mmm...perhaps i'll chat to you guys this weekend.

Ahh yeah sorry about just stamping you and Cj on that man, if all fails... Blame me =]

Channel 16 again on the radios?

I finish exams on tuesday and between then and Friday I'll run all the different maps/ideas and put together the best ones for the cruise, since weeknights aren't very interesting.

Again, sorry for just landing that on you man, figured you'd want in on it.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
