Count me in too! Sounds like a fun day, plus I love scrubbing my baby to get the chromies all bling bling lol

Do you guys want to just meet there and drive in as a group or do you want to do the cruise in the morning as well?

I was under the impression that the cruise was for formal clubs only that have registered to attend on the day but whatever.

Last year we met at 8:30 near the bowling alley in Belco and drove in as a group. The beauty with this show is that you can drive in and out whenever your like. However the problem with getting there late is that it's hard to find a nice place to leave your cars. We were basically dead in the middle of the whole show last year which was pretty cool, but there was no shade. Anyway, I'm happy to turn up whenever...

Who wants to get there with the cruise and who wants to get in there early and who just wants to roll up when they please?

[SL33KY]

I think rolling in as a group will look mean I am happy to do whatever though.

[Darkon]

it looks like i'll be in my suzi so i'm thinking i'll just hide it somewhere outside and see you's in there at some point

From reading the council of ACT motor clubs website it says that people that drive in as part of the big cruise from Commonwealth Park are entitled to preferential parking at the actual show. When you turn up to the meeting spot they give you a small window sticker that gives you preferential entrance and parking for the show.

The meeting spot for this cruise is the futsal stadium on Barrine Drive next to Commonwealth Bridge. For those that don't know where that it, that's the spot next to Commonwealth Avenue where the circus always sets up every year, opposite Regatta Point.

So if we want a good spot then I spose we should head in as part of the main cruise, which is from 8:30am to 9:15am. I guess what we could do is meet there at 8:45-9:00, get our stickers and then roll in as a group whilst looking mean

Bear in mind that if you want to attend you don't NEED to be there early - you can drive in and drive out any time. Get there at 10 if you want to.

I guess we should start a list of who's going, hopefully everyone that's posted previous is coming, we might have a top turnout like last year!

Same deal as the Christmas cruise - copy the list and add your name to the bottom

Well it got a bit hot out there, but I had a good day.

Was good to finally meet Emily & Chris too

I'll post up pics later

[SL33KY]

Was a top day (good weather, very hot )it was great to meet some of you guys Thankyou Mark for organising it! Will post up some pics of the cruise to the Park and the line up.

[SL33KY]

Here's a couple from today on the way there and at the Park...

[CeJay]

Yeah was good to meet some more of the people on here. Did get slightly roasted, but that was my fault, was a good day overall.

[Bluprint]

Have some pics

I'll post up some more pics of the other cars a bit later on when I can be stuffed clearing out more numberplates

I had a pretty good day all in all, it was a shame we didn't have the same turnout as last year.... though if we did I don't know where everyone would have parked! Apparently they had about 550 cars, about 50 up over last year. Some very nice cars there today.

Was a good day out. i loved the fact that we parked right in the middle of all the toyota boys and stole the spot light! HA HA!!! great to finally meet CeJay and SL33KY. some nice cars there. shame we didn't have a bigger turn out, as has already been said. was impressed with how many people were gawking over Bluprints car, nice work mate....

oh, and SL33KY, love the ride girl! im not usually a fan of big chromies, but yours was just the right amount of bling. and keep an eye on those shiney new head lights of yours... they just might go missing, and some how, end up nestled in the front end of my car!!! HA! jks
