Adelaide Skyline Car Cruise

[SLED]

I suspect that 95% of the cars attending this cruise will be yellow canary worthy........driving like a dumbass is the least of your problems if they cordon off the area and start popping bonnets one at a time

This forum is looked at on a regular basis by SAPOL and now you've given them a place AND a time........hopefully they've been slack lately and aren't up to date with SAU.

The Club generally organizes cruises off the main forum.....hence why it's good to be a member!

Goodluck

Whats with the negative comments if your not interested or scared your gonna get a deffect don't come no one is forcing you! Hopefully the people who have mods on there car like boost controller etc were smart enough to install it where its not visible for cops to see! If your gonna get deffected they will deffect you on your way to work or a friends! Well it will be good to catch up with everyone who isn't afraid to leave there drive way!

lol but if they read this they'll just send someone that knows wtf to look for. not hard to spot mods. then again they will defect you for suspicion aswell or cause your car is too fully sick.

[Ben r33 s2]

So they get paid to look on forums for cruises to then go an defect people thats just sad!

[Mobilecouch]

they try to think ahead to catch you 'off guard', anything to get "unroadworthy" vehicles off the road

Yep, Sled and I have had it told directly to our faces by Stuart Mclean (the head of the bike cops in Adelaide), that they pay close attention to all car forums, including ours.

Also, I am not trying to scare you off by any means, but if anything happens on the cruise, YOU, BEN, will be held personally responsible by the police. They have been prosecuting the organiser of cruises if something goes awry.

They want us off the roads and to not congregate in groups. Fullstop. It doesn't matter how legal your car is, if they decide they don't like you or your group, they will lock down the carpark and go over you all car by car. I have had this done before on an NS cruise some years ago - 150 cars were checked vigorously for defects (and something like 30 were issued full Regency defects) - they blocked off both entrances of the Newton Shopping Centre carpark and it took some guys 4 hours on lineup to get out, while they checked each car out with a fine tooth comb.

As Sled said, if you want to join a respectable organisation that gets left alone by the cops because we do the right thing, then join up with sausa.com.au and come on our cruises. We have never had a single issue.

[Ben r33 s2]

well im still going! And i haven't heard of that before! Im pretty sure if someone drive iresponsibly i can't be held reliable for that! Like i said the cruise is for enthusiats and sklyine owners! Not for hoons! Well ill just have to see on the day who comes! Hopefully all will be good! Yeah ill have to come along on the sausa cruises as well!

Just for the record I've met Mr McLean and he's a lying piece of shit. Wouldn't take anything he says as gospel.

[Nightcrawler]

Your run-in with him was a bit more epic than most Pete .... you BAD BOY

[Beregron]

I've been on a NS criuse where this happened as well (8 or so years ago). Those of us who got away with zero regency notes were lucky enough to drive out of one of the car park entrances when one of the cops was presumabley needed elsewhere. Was a very painful night for many people.

On the topic of car parks i never understood why people organise cruises from public car parks? Bunnings, Big W etc... something to me always looked suss standing around a public car park even in the middle of the day. I always liked the beach meet points we use to use for our south cruises

As per above, first NS cruise (think it was combined NS/SAU cruise) we got cordoned at the airport look-out... thankfully was on the outside of this... but unmarked cars parked between us, then two cop cars pulled up at the exit...

Will see if can make the cruise either way

Haha, I think this was the one when I got one of my many "emit undue noise" fines in my pewter S15 for doing a 2nd gear standstill when leaving the carpark. Cops kept me there for 1.5 hours in the freezing cold while a Regency specialist was called out to try to defect my car - and they couldn't find a single thing - he even congratulated me on how nicely and legally modded my car was. Those were the days!

[Krishy]

you with a legally modified car....don't believe that for a sec

[Beregron]

I remember parking my car at the back of the car park facing a overgrown bush to try a hide my c-west carbon bonnet (white R33)

Pretty darn lucky but it certainly sobered me up to the pains of car cruises.

[Ben r33 s2]
