Ex-mccr Members Thread

[SABBAi]

After reading the Knox TMU thread, there was a silly suggestion to start an Ex-MCCR members thread, so here it is.

So hands up you lot who were an active 'cruiser'.

and yes, I was one......6 years ago.

Ah all things MCCR...

James and the CRX i think it was? And there was a Mark involved among others... Long time ago now all that stuff.

Gotta thank MCCR though, out of that another group formed, then another and now i've some of my best mates from it all

Not that i ever attended MCCR events, although i know a countless amount of people that did.

Back in 2002/2003 they already had a rather "well known" name... but MCCR dates back to the 1990's.

Especially the "underground" cruises that - whilst meant to be "secret" - i dont think there was anyone in the car scene that didn't know about them? lol

I'm surprised the forums/site is still hosted. Not that anything useful goes on there now, just spam-bots.

LOL ahhh the good old days....

remember the hi-po cruises

Back then a Standard R32 GTST with an exhaust was considered hi-po :-D

Viva la FA!!!!

yeah i used to attend MCCR events from late 2000 - 2004 Was kinda cool getting a last minute sms invite with details about a secret meet up.

Lots of fun times, massive cruises, meets with 300+ cars at Lonely Planet cruising across Melbourne to the car park opposite Bell st Maccas Yarra blvd., hills runs up mt dandenong Sky High, special secret "HiPo" invite only cruises only for "fast cars". (You got a special HiPo sticker if you were in the HiPo club). MCCR always had cruises mapped out, and CB's for chatting on the cruise which was funny as the stuff we used to say. Then there were the 'underground' drag meets.. later referred to as "gardening" on the forums. hahah good times

hehe, I knew about MCCR but never joined. I was part of Ozcruise while that was still going, same sort of thing but smaller. The name is escaping me but who was the huge cruise club that used to take off from Doncaster Autobarn?

Checking in

Must have been a good 8 years ago (age 15) that I joined up with em. I was a low key member there though...didn't really go to many cruises, except for the Ringwood Autobarn discount days. Went to high school with SIKCVC if anyone remembers him. All the usernames are coming back to me

[[WLDCRD]]

i went to one of the lonely planet meet ups/cruises and never did it again!

[R31Nismoid]

CCC was one.

Commodore Cruise Club.

I went to a few of those meets a long time ago... so many muppets, was funny stuff though.

And then Beastclub came about a couple years later

[KURAUN]

lol yeah i went to a CCC meet once, was crap

[Downforce]

I remember OzCruise.. went on a couple of their meets/cruises around 2004 as MCCR was starting to die out. They used to meet up at MYOB carpark off Burwood Hwy.. some of their cruises ending up down in Narre Warren at JB Hifi. This was all before krispy kremes was around lol

Let's not forget boostcruising.com too

I went to a CCC cruise and it was great. It was a very, very big one though. Never seen so many Commodores together in one spot. They were pouring out onto the street the big carpark was that full. Everyone was revving the shit out of their engines and cranking their systems though. Could hardly hear each other over it. Then one of our friends rocked up in his VT SS (308) which had been modified for a naturally aspirated 400kw with a straight out exhaust and sounded like a V8 supercar...every single person in that car park stopped talking haha.

mccr, mca, ozcruise, boostcruising lol yep...

[scrantic]

Started cruising in around 2000 with meet ups at brandon park heading down towards the peninsula was very early on on MCCR days from memory. Attennded my fair share of hipo's, drags, cruses and super cruises.

Anyone remember Truno? Random dude.

yeah i remember the Brandon Park meets... the first one i went to was there. The cruises down to Frankston were funny.. 30+ rocking up to Frankston maccas at once. We used to also end up at Doncaster pancake parlour after some of the cruises.

Mark (Trueno) is up in Queensland last I heard.. Remember Simon's 20B rx7? the yellow one with plates ROLIN7. That was a tuff car.

[Halle]

All i can remember were the good friday appeal cruises. alot of nice cars attended.

And one car that stands out HOTLNE a green 33.

[R31Nismoid]

Man that car was bad...

I just remembered. It was 'Hi-Octane'. I went to a few of those CCC and Beastclub cruises (normally only for the meetup.) The Pulsar used to look a little out of place

haha yeah. Also used to meet-up at Bayswater Bunnings. The big Ozcruise cruise in 2005/2006 (struggling to remember) that left from The Stamford had about 250-300 cars and we invited the police along. Pettet was there, we got photos with him and his patrol car. They drove with us the whole time and not a single modified car was given any hassle. Those were the days.
