Stagea Meetup

[Punk72]

Gday all

I have had my stag for over a year now and i am still waiting for a cruise or meeting to take place, I have dropped a few hints here and there but no luck :-(

So i thought i might try and get something going, So for every one in good old Tas, Who's keen?????

Maybe the Launceston guys / girls meet up and drive to Ross and meet up with the Hobart guys / girls or something. It doesnt have to be a full day event or it can be.

Or if no one is keen from Hobart it can be just a meet up at a car park in town

cheers

[BXAFTW]

im keen for a cruise/meet somewhere up north. as long as twisties are included.

[beamstas]

me too

[Punk72]

well so far so good, 2 is a good start lol

I am thinking up over the lakes and down to tunbridge and meet up at ross or tunbridge with the cascade drinkers

any ideas would be good

[pipster11]

what if we went north and visited the sidling? (think its what its called) the road that goes to scotsdale

maybe just grab a map of the last targa? or the one coming up and pick some road from that to suit

should be good

guessing its gonna be a nissan "sports" car cruise? i.e. navara's or anything fwd?

the sidling is always a option (very good road) If we went down that way we could carry on down to st Helens which is very similar to the sidling in places,

The idea about the targa stages is a good, I might have to spend some time on google maps

doesnt matter what cars come along, might be safer if you where driving a nissan, even if you needed to replace your holden badge with a nissan badge

where we go will mainly depend on how many Hobart people are keen, if we its just people from the north then we will stay up here

I am starting to think i might just have to say I will be at this car park on this date and time to go for a cruise and who ever wants to come, come along, sound harsh but i have

seen alot of these crash because it gets all to hard

[Clandestine]

Yeah I'd definitely be up for a cruise, been checking out these forums for a while and was surprised not to see any. I'm from the south now but I grew up in the north east so a big fan of both the Sideling and the Weldborough pass, awesome driving roads. As long as I'm free the day this is on and mojo is running I'll be there, possibly with a few mates.

That being said there are some awesome driving roads down south as well, which I'd love to drive with some other people, but I'm sure Funz could give us all the down low on the best driving roads down here.

Perhaps we could map out a plan with google maps (remember to use the "link" button, or others wont be able to load it correctly) to map out the entire route, and set some stopping places like the weldborough hotel and the like (great people/place and heaps of parking)?

For those of you who don't know the sideling:

i wouldn't mind some rally action but i doubt many ppl will come if we head for some gravel

keen to get something going b4 the weather turns bad

http://www.targa.org.au/Course.html

leg 4 looks ok or leg 2

i got some ppl together when i was back home, just gave a few weeks notice and set a date and made sure the majority of ppl could make it

just choose a time and date and tell everyone, if it goes up on boostcruising we'll get a few ppl to come but we'd prob have to limit it to something along the lines of rwd or awd (but not 4wd) and nissan or we'll get ppl with poosars and navaras coming along

[DJRIFT]

the last cruise that a few of us tried to get off the ground was out around mole creek, cefana, lake barington, paradise, shefield way.

its all far better driving road than the sideling (road serfice wise) and the old scottsdale to st hellens loop has been done heaps.

If you were to do something like that i could muster up half a dozen skylines. its an inspirational bit of road.

but im not coming if theres going to be any nissans that look like volvos.

[sav man]

yep up though cethana is heaps better than the sidling (day 4 targa). Should be good if we can get soming organised

I was keen for this till I read these comments...

Sounds all to "elitist" for me.

Everybody complains they cant get these sorts of things off the ground and then you wanna go and limit who can turn up...

Good luck with it, I'll stick to heading off for a drive by myself, when I want and where I want without fear of being in the wrong car, taking the wrong road, talking to the wrong person, or wearing the wrong jumper or basically doing anything that may not be approved of by the so called organisers.

Very well said, I new this was going to get all to hard!!!! I think i am going to organise a drive with my friends and the post the date and time and who

ever wants to come can

To DJRIFT, I hope you where joking with your volvo comment,

I just went for a 2 hour cruise with a mate who owns a completely stock Daihatsu Charade last night, completely miss-match cars in power and handling ability, and I had a complete ball. Sure I had to slow down to what was probably a more sensible speed for some of the corners and couldn't thrash it on the straights, but the actual act of driving with another car enthusiast gets me every time, no matter what they drive.

I don't see how having any type of car (nissan or otherwise) on the cruise could detract from the experience at all, if someone had a school bus that they were excited about, wanted to mod out or just generally talk about, I'd be all in for a drive. (Okay the school bus may detract from the cruise a little, a bit of an extreme example).

I just want to drive, have fun, and talk about cars or what has happened on the cruise when we stop, as long as the people are good quality, I couldn't give a s#!t about the cars quality. Sometimes a crappy car produces an amazing driver or amazing ingenuity, I'm interested to meet people with both.

sorry for making it sound very selective, wasn't what i intended but its just on the gold coast (where i'm from) 70% of the nissan drivers that are on boost think that they are racing drivers but actually drive something that is a long way from quick, and when the nissan cruise was organised it was nissan "sports" cars only, ended up with over 100 cars (180's, s13's, s14's, s15's, r31's, r32's, r33's, r34's, stageas, cerfiro's, v35's)

still not used to how things work down here but i was trying to suggest to keep it to the greater skyline community (i.e. anything that there is a forum for here on SAU)

but i'm not organising it, it was just a suggestion, and i'll attend and support whatever happens

well thats good to hear because i hate putting up with wingers on cruises.

By the way im taking the piss. for people that go on cruises and meet other people they get to see what their real personality is like ect.

im not organising anything just simply suggesting a nice pice of road to go on. i dont care if its a cruise to maccas 1/2 a k down the road but some of my friends are more willing to come on new and exciting roads.

Volvo jokes just taking the piss. and people bite all to easy.

[skidkid]

If you own and love a nissan why would you make a silly volvo joke?? Our family wagon is tared with the same brush as your car!!

Have voted, keen for a meet/ cruise. Happy boosting.

[pipster11]

think we just need to set a date, if you wanna come them come

if you dont wanna be beaten by a volvo stay at home

[Punk72]

it is sounding like this sunday for a meetup in a car park I am just waiting to talk to a couple of people which will be tomorrow and then i will put a time up,

anyone can come along, VOLVO drivers especially :-)

[DJRIFT]

some people have obviously taken me the wrong way.

im sorry to have put a dampener on the event but if you get that serious about a few words on the interweb you need to get out more. and go on cruises.

where are you thinking about going?

[Punk72]

but im not coming if theres going to be any nissans that look like volvos.

A little smiley face or something would have been nice at the end of this sentence to let everyone know that you where joking, because it is hard to tell the dick heads from

the normal people on here especially if some of us haven't meet each other before.

at this stage it is just a meet and great, might leave the cruise for another date

And no I am not say that we cant have jokes!!!!!!
