you can roll in a rickshaw for all it matters mate. sau dont discriminate on the car you drive.
as for events, see the following two links.
Events calendar
Motorsport stuff
once you join, you also get access to a members section with exclusive events and such. kee[ an eye on the events section cos in about three weeks im gonna step up the number of cruises, meets and social stuff we run. theres plenty going on as is.
best way to get going imo is to come to one of our gen meetings, held every 3rd tuesday of the month. introduce yourself to any of the guys and or girls hanging round, we dont bite.
regarding driving your car on cruises, if it really is an issue, just jump in someone elses and ride shotgun
