S.a. May Barossa Cruise

[Big Fella]

hey tangles, Pm me details/pictures/ads on the house, one of my mates is looking at moving soon, we'll see what i can do

[bigkevracer]

After speaking to a few people today, we've decided there will be no video of this cruise at this time.

There isn't enough footage to put something decent together, so we'll use parts of it in a compilation later. Or just the dirt section to placate Glenn

Agreed...despite the stagea's reputation, the genuine cruise objectives and mature behaviour, it would be a media frenzy at the moment.

So I take it the footage from the camera on my car was not able to be salvaged? Hope you didnt go to much trouble trying to put a video together just to have a couple of wankers spoil it for us.

I have only just caught up with whats going on with this whole tunnel race thing, I didnt see the video till this morning but spent all last night at work copping shit from my workmates for "being a hoon" just cause i drive a Nissan. "No" I said, "it wouldn't be a SAU member, we're far more responsible than that!" Can't wait to see what they've got for me when I go to work tonight (especialy the guy with a subaroo outback) Thanks alot guys

Except that two of the people are SAU members (or is it were by now?).

The camera position in Billy's car was crap, but your footage was alright. Like I said, after a few cruises I might put together a compilation, but need more background/social footage I think, and less driving, which the media wants everyone to believe is always 'anti-social hoon behaviour'.

I hadn't started the video yet, just reviewed the footage. I am tempted to put the dirt road stuff up for shits and giggles though!

exactly, and then we can show the media that weare responsible drivers, we don't even get to the speed limit.

it'd prob be twisted tho. "a group of 20 nissan volvos destroying the parklands, here they can be seen in the wilderness searching for some animals to harm with their loud exhausts and spacious interiors!"

LOL oh no wait maybe not lol knowing channel no. 10 they'd probably do that!

Hey ryan if you really want to make that dirt road video interesting i got some footwell action taped also...

Then again maybe not: "a group of 20 nissan volvos destroying the parklands, here they can be seen in the wilderness searching for some animals to harm with their loud exhausts and spacious interiors, and as the video continues, one passenger is trying to film a drag race (probably on a nature strip) but the driver was going that fast that he could only film the footwell. Shortly after the video ends sources say he ran up an embankment to hit bambi and flipped the car onto its roof"

To clear things up fellas, there were certain SAU-SA members in the "tunnel drag race". The SAU-SA committee (including myself as Club Secretary) has discussed disciplinary action, and action has been taken. I am also the founder of this club, and we've put alot of hard work into this over the last 2 years or so, and its quite disappointing that such an act was filmed then hosted where the media could get a hold of it. The media and police scan these forums constantly, so please be aware of that when filming or even just discussing anything.

Our dyno day this saturday has been cancelled thanks to the fallout from this. There has been alot of discussion about it in the SA forums, but you've no idea the damage control and calls with SAPOL we've been doing to sort this out and keep the club's reputation.

[jidge]

Doh. I was hoping to see some M35's on the dyno this weekend.

BigKev, did you get your dump and exhaust on?

[bigkevracer]

Yeah I did, waiting for some pics so I can share.

Oh, and waiting for a rear muffler so I can't be heard from the moon

It is all very sad indeed....we all make mistakes ! I don't condone their actions but suddenly the whole world (incl import drivers) are full of drivers who have never committed a breach of the Road Traffic Act. You are right though Ruby people only remember us by our mistakes.

+11ty to that, well said.

we've all done silly stuff, some more than others. I can't imagine where i would be if mobile phone cameras were so rampant 15 yrs ago when i was alot younger and alot dumber.

[bechopps]

I want to say thank you to those involved in setting this cruise up , and every one else who attended. It was my first stag cruise which i was made to feel welcome buy some cool peeps.

It was made good by a bunch who loved their rides and not them selves.cant wait for the next one. Cheers to every one there!

some pics you might wanna see:

PS. sorry about the delay but i have just come out of two weeks of hell. (sick and teething 18mth twins + sick pregnant wife who at the same time gives her self a hernia, jumping up to a puking child , and her migraine still persists, and im also bed ridden with flu if i was allowed to lie down. .) father hood moments for cherishing. and she wonders why i have the need for spirited Sunday drives at the track.

Hey chopps might not be the best idea to post pics of us parked in disabled parking spots what with the bad publicity nissans have been getting in S.A. media lately jk

I can only imagine the story they could spin up lol

love the pics tho

[bigkevracer]

Wasn't there a disabled person parked in there that you ran over Glenn?

[SatchiThaStagea]

um errrrrr..........

not that i remember maybe you should check the footage from the camera you had on my window, no wait that footage was mysteriously corrupted hmmmm

[Big Fella]

given that it's a yellow stagea parked there it is obvious that the owner is coulourbkind(and there fore disabled) or just has poor taste and deserves to be fined regardless

[SatchiThaStagea]

Ouch!!

Really, is this what it's going to come to?

If I didn't love your car so much I'd have a comeback, give me time tho!

P.S. your spelt colour blind wrong!

[Big Fella]

this Is what it has come to! No beer and no stagea cruises/dyno days makes big fella go something something.......
