[Tosh]

GREAT cruise.... great showing by the central coast crew

cops were a bit of a bitch.... but u get that......

can't wait for the next one

[franks]

thanks for the cruise guys....!

what a night!

unbelievable the cops up there! at one stage we had 2 or 3 cops in the cruise with us!!! LOL. i got tailed once aswell, then they intimidated me at a red light! i think they were checking for a blow off valve to pull me up...

anyways, the s14a and i kicked onto harry's and met up with some other people hehe always see someone you know at that place....!

some pics are here...

[MRK25T]

I have to work now

Anyways, that station wagon that was following you Monie - it was trying to break the group by laging back at the trafic lights and trying to shake me. He would then speed up (once past the lights) to sit on your tail.

Any word from Darren yet?

once again thanx for another cool cruise guys, it was well worth the drive up...Pitty about the cops but u get it no mater where u go.

[B-Man]

So were their any incidents with the police or were they just baiting ??? (Sounds a bit like entrapment to me)

Ya should have told them you belonged to a Christian Car Club and that you were just going for a friendly drive - And did they want to donate any money to the Christian Car Club.

I'm sure Christian would have been happy if they did donate...

Well is sort of is Christian's Car club anyway - so it's no exactly a load of BS.

We stopped at gosford maccas, and with in 5 minutes we had 4 Police cars there checking our cars and plates. We just hung around drinking coffee..

One young police officer came up and asked "so you going to the ridge" to which I giggled and said no thats not our scene. He then started telling us that "it would be a waste to have our cars collecting dust for three months" and that "there is a time and a place". We tried to talk to him nicely but he just keep saying "time and place". Eventualy someone gave it a bit at the lights (not one of us) and they became destracted so we made our move.

The cop did say (between his time and place comment) that there is alot of crime up that way. So the police are comming down hard, I would have loved to suggest to him that they not waste time harassing us young and innocent people and go find said gun toating crims... but there is no point being a smartass..

So other than the threat of police bearing down on us it was a very nice cruise. Thank you to all who showed up and I hope to see you all at the next one.

Big thanks to all who made this cruise possible !! Was heaps of fun even though the police tried to ruin it

Mark, I think the cops that followed you and then let off were the ones that appeared out of no-where for us. They must have just been waiting around the turn off at Peats Ridge after following you.

It seems when intimidation is the aim of the game, upholding the law is a second priority, when Darren and Moanie pulled into the Shell servo I stopped in a well lit "no stopping" zone just down the road (right infront of the damn sign). Mark and Franks then came past and instead of the cop even looking at me he just following them at distance.

My apologies to Moanie who I almost gave a heart attack when I stalled it doing a u-turn trying not to spin the rears when the cops spotlighted us .... after that I was even supicious of her headlights on the way home ..... you were in on it with them wearn't you !!! hehee

Once again shout outs to all, specially those in the evasion squad, Moanie, Nathan, Franks, Mark and Darren. Glad to see all got home without incident.

[MRK25T]

Sorry for all the indicating Jimbo around those round abouts. At that stage i was becoming paranoid of the cops and was trying to do everything right. I was taking off very gently at lights incase my stock BOV or stock air filter made a flutter.

Jimbo, I'm surprised you didnt get pulled over for driving with your driving lights on. I was going to suggest turning them off.

Ahh, so thats where those 2 patrol cars went. I didnt see them after they took off. I continued doing 60km/h on the freeway just to put some distance between myself and them.

Franky came up behind me and I thought it was another highway patrol car trying to push me along, but once he overtook and said g'day on the CB everything was back to normal.

I was having a think at work: they seemed to target monie (the station wagon insisted in cutting in front of me to get behind moanie) because she had a history with the EPA and would be likely to vent to atmo - giving them an excuse to pull her over?

Carlo, did I miss all the action at Gosford Maccas? Was this when you were waiting for me to arrive?

Certainly a great night guys.

Thanks to all who came along, I will be organising another cruise soon hopefully without the police who i swear were having a cruise of their own!

[JiMb0]

Hahaha, the overkill indicating in / out was hillarious .. don't worry, Franky got me for not indicating at all out of one of them

I know that fog lights are illegal without fog, but on the series 2 front bar you can't seriously count those lights as fog lights can you ? I mean they're just regular globes .... I use them to shed a little more light ont he road ... after our discussions on the CB I kept my eye out to see how many other cars were doing this and counted quite a number of other vehicles doing the same ¿

Nice of the cops to give us an escort out of Gosford though Felt like royalty.

[franks]

i missed the old pac turn off and i was really keen for a thrash aswell! must've been too worried about tailing cops...!

the excitement didnt stop at the end of the freeway either

on the pacific hwy on the way into town, the s14a and i were stopped at a set of traffic lights (i was infront he was behind) and an astra was lining me up on the other side the lights go green, i give it some stick, till i reached the legal limit, then came off the gas...the astra still thought it was still on! in an effort to impress the mrs he rocketed past me for another 100m or so now well and truly in front....

...a car from behind then comes hurtling past me! not to my surprise it was a marked falcon cop on go his red and blue disco lights and i cruise past the pulled over astra.

:bahaha:

[Tosh]

BWAHAHHAHAHAHA good work franky !!! :bahaha: :bahaha:

[Talej]

what that young cop was saying about peats ridge and cracking down is true... on thursday nights it was a regular thing for a lot of people (mostly youngins) to go up there for drags... a few weeks ago it was crashed by quite a few cops and since then they have been everywhere up here, especially out at terrigal and on thursday nights.

its fair enough that they would want to stop the drags but there isn't much else to do up here.. maybe if it was supervised/organised

[Blitz]

Cant see that happening unfortunately Michael. From what the officers told us it sounds like they want the mod cars gone.

Time to move to sydney

[Talej]

Would glady if I could... but I think there will be the same problems anywhere there is good cars.

Shouldn't be too much trouble sticking to cruises and keeping the racing for track days.

[red900ss]

You guys should put all this in writing, without emebelishment, and send it to the Minister for Police. cc the Police Commssioner, the Police Ombudsman and your local Members too.

[Bigvis.]

Skyline owners embelish...never!

Anyways coming home I was doing just over 576 km per hour, and this giant half man half kebab thingy, he was probably about 20 ft tall.......

[Talej]

576km? sheesh I dunno if i could handle a car going that quick..

[Lozza150]

there has been a lot of car stealing going on here (central coast) and the offender's have been known to go to Peats ridge to race other car's. So many Blitz' have been going on to try and stop this from happening.

Something else i thought of... with 20 or more High Performance car's turning up in terrigal, then heading back to the "Known" drag strip..... I think i would call in back up unit's......

I'm just happy no SAU member's were pulled over..... All the Soft ****s in there dodgy try hard car's got done.....

i suggest we give ourselves a pat on the back that we were well behaved and RESPONSIBLE. Go SAU~!!!

Thanks for coming up guy's it was Great to see all of you guy's (and some new people i hadn't met) I look forward to getting my skyline back from the Mechanic's and cruising with you all......

Cheers
