OK ...I am back from Sydney town. A couple of things......

1. It is a 1pm meet & greet time...so if you are running late that will be OK...we NEVER leave in the first 30mins.

2. I read lots of drivers apologising for the condition/state of their ride. ALL cars are welcome incl. ur daily.... most of us do the mods we want when we can afford them.....most cars are still in progress of being built/modified.

3. My mobile number is 0431 396 417....if you want to know anything or ur running late or wanna join us mid-cruise.

4. It is meant to be 30C on Monday

For those not going to Melbourne or Murray bridge on the Australia Day week-end you are invited to join us the "dr1ft_pig13 OLDS" for the late Ben Simpson Memorial Charity Cruise...help us raise awareness of Youth Suicide. (..before u get too concerned it is only a gold coin donation for the map).

Although Ben was a member of NS.com, he was primarily an import lover so SAU are MOST WELCOME to join us.

Date: Monday 28th January

Time: 1pm meet

Where: ETSA Park - Mile End

Route: (naturally) through the hills ending up in the NE suburbs.

Tradition: It is traditional that a teddy bear (soft toy) be carried on an empty seat in the car

Coin Donations: Giving to the White Wreath Assoc. for Youth Suicide Education

Hope you can join us !!!

OLD Mark

Well what an unbelievable day !!!! The weather was excellent, the turn out was massive, in excess of 200 cars !!!

We are truly humbled by your continual support of us and our cause Youth Suicide Awareness....Ben (like us) would have been deeply touched. Apologies if we did not get to speak to you personally...but to each and everyone of you please accept our sincere thanks for attending, donating and making it such an enjoyable day.

In total we raised $387.65 which is unreal for a bunch of broke import lovers BUT we want to make it very clear, this cruise is NOT about $$$$$....its about raising awareness of this silent epidemic killing our youth....and the stikas and cruises certainly do that.

Special thanks to those who made the effort to get permits and those who stayed on at the pub.

Now we were asked today if we could post a pic of Ben for those who never knew him, it is not something we would normally do but on this special occasion, we will...
