As many of you know, my dad spent over 40 years as a member of the Victorian Police Force. In that forty years there were a few times when he could have become one of the 157 Victoria Police Officers who have lost their lives doing their job.

Now I know that there are a few in the Skyline community that feel like they're picked on for driving an import, but Blue Ribbon Day is a day that we should put those feelings off to the side and support Victoria Police.

So saying that. I'm thinking that we should have a cruise to take advantage of "Macca's Drive Thru For Blue" on Friday 16th of September. This is from their web site. - - McDonald's is supporting Blue Ribbon Day with the Macca's Drive Thru For Blue. Visit any McDonald's Drive Thru on Friday 16th September between 6pm & 7pm and McDoanld's will donate $1 from every Drive Thru order to the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation. Your visit during these times can help us to build new and improved emergency facilities in our public hospitals named in memory of police officers who have fallen in the line of duty. The Blue Ribbon Foundation and McDonald's - Remembering Lives by Saving Others. - -

So, Laith's SuperDuper Mini Cruise is as follows...

5:45pm - Meet at Burden Park car park. Heatherton Road, Springvale South. Near the corner of Heatherton Road and Springvale Road. (see attached map)

5:45pm to 6:00pm - Chat and general catchup.

6:00pm - Leave Burden Park car park and turn Left onto Heatherton Road. (again see attached map)

Cruise for 30 seconds

6:00:30pm - Turn right from Heatherton Road into Springvale McDonalds carpark. Corner of Springvale Road and Heatherton Road. (see attached map)

Make your way through the drive through and order anything you like. Each time you go through McDonalds donates $1.oo.

6:05pm - Make your way back to the meet point. (see attached map)

The SuperDuper thing about this cruise is you can do it as many times as you like in the one night. :banana:

Things to bring:- 1/4 tank of fuel.

Hope to see you all there.

May be able to swing by on my way elsewhere, but it'll be a flying visit if I can manage it.

My uncle's a copper in country Victoria and when I told him I'd bought a GT-R he said, "I'm glad we didn't have cars like that when I was a kid!"

Not a bad idea Laith. A lot of idiots on the road around that area though... so hope a bunch of skylines does not encourage the usual commo driving clowns trying to show off their mad skillz doing single spinners...

Drat!!!... >_<

I've had a job pushed back by an hour so I now finish work at 6pm. It's only about ten minutes away so I'll try and get away quickly.

Also a side note. If you've got any extras in your car it would be good if you could go through for each person. So if you and your passenger are getting a meal each, make two drive thrus. It's not $1.oo for each meal. It's $1.oo for each order. You really don't have to if you don't want to. It's just a thought.

:thumbsup:

It got to 7pm and we all buggered off.

I counted 4 skylines that just drove past. One lives near me and went into McDs, but didn't come over. Think I might have to walk past his place and drop in a spotter card and see if I can get him to join the club.

Oh. We did have some cops show up, but they were drug cops in an unmarked wagon. They were cool. But also massive. Once we told them why we were there they were more interested in looking at the cars from a enthusiast side.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
