Sure a map of Strathalbyn would have been desirable but time and money simply got the better of me. Keep in mind that I don't get paid to do this shit and I don't have hours of spare time up my sleeves either. As it was I was up until 3am the night before organising the maps, and it cost me around $80 in planning/driving/photocopying so that everyone could go out and have an enjoyable night.
As for the meeting points, I had to liaise with the police officer at Handorf in order to get him to move his car from blocking the entrance. But before everyone starts to say it was a silly spot to put so many cars, have a think about why they came and blocked the entrance, and where else you would have fit that many cars in Handorf.
And the slow cars? Well thats hardly our fault. As far as I'm concerned, everyone has the right to come out and enjoy themselves on a cruise as long as they're not being dickheads. Whether they be in an old escort or an R34 GTR shouldn't matter, but they need understand their position in the pecking order and give way to faster cars.. and if they don't, start flashing your lights and beeping at them until they do.
Overall I think it was a good cruise, an excellent turnout, but very difficult to manage. When you guys try organising a cruise for 150+ cars come and let me know how you go.
