The Sa Wasteland

yeah, i get what hes saying. and i cant argue with it. its solid logic really.

[SLED]

don't get me wrong Dave, I by no means was pointing a finger at you.......in actual fact, it sounds like our mob weren't the main contributors anyway......I just hope that when Sapol read this, they actually realize this fact.

Dave I don't quite get your last post......you're not selling your 200 as a result of tonights efforts are you?

EDIT: Lol, Correct James, wish I had put it that way now......if I ever need an advocate or personal speaker, I'll make sure I get your resume 1st

[scandyflick]

im selling it because of a few things. ill still have it another month or two before i advertise it (ive been thinking about advertising it when ajd rolls around) as planned, but yeah.

tonight just added another reason to sell it. i mean, i love the car scene in adelaide, but with more and more people showing less and less respect for it, it hardly seems worth it.

[Minibats]

wow more CRAP on NS.com about heaps killa skids and crashes and drifts... omg f**king grow up people your making it worse for yourselves! Do you enjoy blaming other people like SAPOL for taking your shit off the road or fining you for being a douche bag? Grow up.. Im over this shit.

Scandy keep your car dude, make sure you are doing the right thing in the end and dont get involved with the crap Dont sell

Thats cool Pete, was just trying to put it in a less direct contex and more covering as a whole

Hence why i spoke to the officer that was there, no attitude, no excuses and straight up front

Disappointing Dave. I think you're writing off the 'car scene' prematurely.

Organised cruises with mass drama and bullshit isn't the real car scene. It's good for a laugh to read the fall out, but quick boosts with a few mates is where its at.

When my car's back next year we'll hit up a few more runs and you won't wanna sell your shit man.

[DamageInc]

i cant even drive my car in mt lofty without getting pulled over.

talk about fking being prejudice

[scandyflick]

lol, i know what you mean dude. and that part is where most of my love of the scene is, but this has been coming a while. and if the mass public cruises keep going the way they are, its gonna get harder and harder to enjoy the quick and quiet drives with your mates.

believe me, its not a decision ive rushed into, just ask luke, lol, ive been thinking about it for ages.

[Fishpaste~]

not quite sure i agree with JMW or Sled there... even if no one from SAU attended the event, we would still be painted with the same brush! we'd still get our share of the attention just because of the cars we chose to drive.

i dont see there is anything wrong with car enthusiast getting together and raising money for charity?? so people get together and go for a drive and help those in need, how is that different from people cooking pancakes or holding tea parties or growing a mustache or the bikies charity cruise?? its when people decide to make up their own rules that things go pear shapped for the community

I've been on plenty of cruises and it seems the problem is some people take it as "we're on a cruise so we can do anything" mixed in with some fragile egos and its a recipie for what happened today, i dont think we can ever say that our problem will be fixed by stoping these get togethers but i think stronger self policing is a step in the right direction.

Fair enough man. All I know is I'm sure as hell not gonna stop enjoying my car cause some other dudes in similar cars drive like wankers.

Sleeper spec for the win.

[Minibats]

its done for now, we will see what happens during the week. I for one wont be going on another one.

don't try and justify that shit to me Luke.....this has really pissed me off.

No amount of $$ raised by this cruise tonight can justify the long term effect it will have on your future driving freedom.....in the coming months, make sure you have eyes in the back of your head whilst driving your R where cops will be present cause they'll be given a new set of instructions during briefing Monday morning....and I don't need to tell you what they will entail.

you swim in a sespool, you come out smelling the same......sorry but the truth hurts sometimes Dave

Not trying to justify anything Pete, just trying to show atleast there was something good that came out of last nights events. Totally agree with what you have said mate, you'll have no argument from me

[TALBO]

Sounds like it was a top cruise, what surprises me having read all this is that some are surprised sapol wanted to get involved at some point. I'm no angel but I've seen the way many many import drivers drive their cars and there's no way known I'd go to one of those cruises and get myself associated with knobheads that are going to make the whole group look bad, regardless of whether you were doing the right thing!

[craig R33]

so you selling me your rims or not Dave?

need to talk to Decs bout the 5 stud conversion today...

get my number from facebook.

you drive a bright orange 33?

[Damo_R34]

Just read through the NS.com thread about the cruise, majority make it sound like a totally different cruise, one member even saying "well behaved"

oh well, definitely not attending in the future, quite happy to rock it at the meet point and contribute to what the night was actually about. A vision that is now beyond lost in translation unfortunately.

[CRoNic...]

I went to the start up and made my donation and you could tell straight away what it was going to be like so I didnt go on the actual cruise.

To be honest ive lost a bit of respect for mark to know whats going on with these cruises and nothing be done only to be making it harder for the rest of us later on. I never thought I would say this, but I agree with James, sled and the others that wont be doing a cruise again.

Are you serious?! How can you make Mark purely responsible for everyone's behaviour/driving ability?! Regardless of the cruise or who's organized it... you'll always get the odd car ripping a skid or something. Ns.com cruises have always been entertaining over the years.

[Damo_R34]

[RubyRS4]

Think I'll get a sticker made up for the back of the Stag: "I'm not with NS.com"
