Cruise For 19th/20th This Month =]

[That_timothy]

Righto so, while Olivia's away and not doing anything Cj, Tobin, and I are going to hopefully try and keep up the cruise organisation that she's been doing.

Hoping to run this on either the 19th/20th of June, depending on which has the most interest. Either that, or we really can just run two cruises, since it's the weekend exams finish!

Just a thought though is that, since Citywest is a big meet point, how would everybody feel driving down one of the main strips in Northbridge on our way somewhere? I've been talking to Cj and Ben about this and our feelings were...

Pro's:

It'll look really cool (Always good)

We can go straight to a freeway afterwards

Con's:

Police on every single corner/road/alleyway/club/pub/nook anc cranny.

Drunk people EVERYWHERE.

Anyway, feedback on that would be wicked, if it's too much we can always just avoid the whole place =]

[syfon]

I'm always up for a cruise, and CityWest carpark is always a good meet point as it is large enough to accomodate plenty of cars + it is a central meet point.

As for driving through Northbridge, it will be good to show off, however, if you drive through Northbridge on a Saturday night, it would have to be no later than 10pm, as any later than that and drunk people are stumbling around aswell as a greater police presence.

Driving through Northbridge is a cool idea, but everyone must be responsible and not do anything stupid or the cops may pin our whole crusie.

But hey, I'm really up for whatever. Hills runs are the best imo

nice work tim =]

shame i wont be there but hope it all gets organised its not that hard

[Dani Boi]

Sif driving through northbridge on a saturday at night haha

[Yanti]

Maybe next time Olivia =P Like I said, the Northbridge idea is good but there is the issue of cops and such. Also, traffic is slow and annoying if its too late due to taxis.

P.S (Totally unrelated) Tim, the sub doesn't really give the best sound atm, need a new amp for it and head unit but I really just wanted to grab it off you to see if getting one was a good idea and for now I have enough on my shopping list =P

[Neuroglider]

Naw i'm onsite wish I could come! Would be pretty awesome

[sami_]

oh god NO!! Northbridge is a bad idea!

Stay away

This is just a thought but why don't you guys organise a monthly cruise on the first Monday of every month?

If you can't make it, then tough titties, you can come to next months club cruise.

And what's with the mods saying it can't have anything to do with sauwa??

Care to explain?

haha sami dont tell them to organise one the first monday of every month

thats my idea loser!

im organising that

but yeah seriously whats with the mods saying no cruises are to do with sauwa thats gay

and yeah skylineswa new club lo

[ossie_21]

Driving through Northbridge at night for a cruise = words cannot express the fail. The cruise would be broken up at every roundabout, intersection, people coming out of car parks, everything.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

And what's with the mods saying it can't have anything to do with sauwa??

Care to explain?

Umm, mods and SAUWA are two different things. Mods moderate SAU (the forums), and SAUWA Committee moderates what the SAUWA Club does.

Hope that explains the difference.

And yes, Northbridge would be a complete fail

[GTS-t VSPEC]

but yeah seriously whats with the mods saying no cruises are to do with sauwa thats gay

For the exact reason that you guys would think of organising a cruise through Northbridge

[sami_]

why? Coz it would fail?

[dodgsun]

FaiL FtW!

[Gabbo2047]

cruise would be good but every time i have been in northbridge some drunk fool has thrown a glass/bottle at the nice cars that drive by the clubs. so that gives me a reason to not wanna go through northbridge. just my two cents

[SweeT]

Is this just for Skylines or all Imports?

[That_timothy]

Righto, so it's pretty obvious that this whole Northhbridge thing isn't going to go ahead.

GTS-t VSPEC, I can see where everybody's coming from on the epic failure that they're all expecting, but y'know... You look in the wasteland, on any thread to do with police, or threads about other drivers, and (sorry about how much this sounds like I'm pretending to be an old kung-fu guru) all you see is hate. Sure, most of the "stupidest thing you've..." posts are funny, they're moreso infuriating because we're all here because we drive nice looking, and well performing cars. When cool cars drive down the road, I still get pretty excited to look at them 'n' all, and so I figure, for the effort it'd take from us, would it be so hard to drive past populated areas on cruises and have our fun showing off, and possibly raise our own reputation with general public for at least entertaining them for those four or five minutes that we drove past?

It doesn't have to specifically be there, but eeven just driving down Rockeby road would possibly be cool, for the attention we'd garner.

*End kung-fu guru rant*

Anyway, CJ and I've been driving around a lot lately just looking for cool places to put on the map, or things to make the cruise interesting, so it should be wicked regardless!

And for SweeT, all imports are fine =]

As per usual,

NO EXCELS WITH MASSIVE CARBON FIBER WINGS. Seriously, one nearly slaughtered me last night =]

SAUWA AND SAU are totally different to each other u have to pay to become a SAUWA member and then events are orgainised for you, they are alot smaller and are pre drivn and the such so that there is minimal cop/pedestrian annoyance. It cant be associated with SAUWA bcoz its not organised by SAUWA.

its like organising an even under your work just bcause you work for them it doesnt work you need it to be organisd by the people who have the powaaaaaaa, generally thats guys without skylines

The point of cruises is for the cars to stay largely together, going through Northbridge on a weekend night, that's just not possible. And yes then there is the danger of so many pedestrians walking around. Hell I even went through there one night, me with ANGR33 right behind me, for all of about a minute before she got held up. And then someone kicked her car for no reason. I would say you don't want that to happen to yours, or anyone elses car for that matter.

Not saying it will or won't happen, but it's not worth the hassle. Imports get enough attention as it is, considering through Northbridge now there are cops just about everywhere, all it would take would be one or two people to rev up their engine for shit to start going down. I guess my point is yes you can do it, but it's just not logical!

As a member of the SAUWA committee I would be willing to put my hand up to jump on board with those people willing to organise a monthly cruise to help organise & run them, if you are that keen to have them run as a SAUWA cruise, but that will be an ongoing discussion & nothing is certain yet.

Remember there is nothing wrong with organising & running a monthly cruise from the SAUWA events section on SAU, but the only difference is that it's not under the SAUWA name or the SAUWA cruise rules.

If someone does want to organise a cruise for the 19th or 20th I should be able to attend as well & see how it goes & how committed people are to running it on a monthly basis, and then it will be discussed & taken from there.

Cheers

I think we've already decided against the Northbridge idea. However, the main cafe strip in Freo or Rockeby Rd in Subiaco are both excelent roads to cruise down providing no one does anything stupid like revving the engine or dropping skids. There arent as many drunk people walking around, you wont get help up as easily, and you'll have people admiring your car rather then trying to destroy it.

And I'll be free for this cruise regardless of date.

[That_timothy]

Wow... Thanks for feedback guys. Nathan I'll definitely be organising for the Friday the 19th, since it seems to work better fridays. If

Meet at 9.00pm

SOR:

Leech Hwy McDonalds

NOR:

Citywest carpark.

*I may see if I can shanghai another friend to set up a meet point further out towards the hills, so if anybody's interested hit us up with a comment so we can work out numbers*

Everybody's both welcomed and encouraged to bring friends and non-SAU import drivers, whether as passengers or drivers

All 'round should be fun.
