National Park Cruise Out West (Via Galston Gordge)- Sun, June 19Th

[God_speed]

Would be good to go for a drive with the weather looking clear and all... Might take the Clio.

I doubt that I can make the cruise but there is a lot of truth to what Matt has said.

If there are many cars it will be best to put them into groups to ensure it does not cause issues for local traffic. Also, when we run official SAU cruises we register the cruise with the local authorities to ensure there's no ill will about potentially causing traffic congestion.

For our large cruises we designate a leader and tail car for each group. We also then stagger the groups at least 15 minutes to ensure that possible traffic congestion is minimised.

If this cruise gets that large someone should consider doing the same.

You're joking about 100 + or - cars right?

You'll need to lodge a Schedule #1 Application with Police for that number of cars. That's why "Cruise for Kids" got into strife

Did you at all scrape the LHS of your splitter of your GT-R (on previous runs) in G/Gorge doing left hand hairpins? Or did you swing wide Matt?

Only ever taken the Clio through Galston Gorge before, or a regular car, not the GTR as yet... sounds like Steveo knows more about doing that...

I think there's the potential for minor scrapeage of the splitter if the car is lowered + the steering lock of GTRs generally not being the best with wide wheels and all. I'm sure most will manage if they take it easy

Yeah it was probably hyperbole re the number of cars but if its a casual meet up of mates going for a drive would you really need to make some kind of formal application? Can understand if its an organised charity thing but just a random club drive...

oh and what kind of strife did they get into? the impounding? pretty dumb stunt to pull when you know the Po Po would be watching..

[LU57IN]

Its just a casual Sunday cruise guys, it not like a major event (C4K) where we will be causing traffic congestion... and i didint tell the Police about our Charity Cruise to Terrigal- and we had over 150cars come on that- no Cop trouble what so ever. i mean they were there, but they didnt bother us because we were behaviing ourselves.. so obviously the same principal applies to Sunday, as i've stressed out previously!! However, if i find there are too manny cars attending this one, i will designate groups though- thanx for that idea !!!

[TurboWood]

G'day guys,

I could come over and hold you until you drift off to the sound of my sweet sweet lullabies...

no homo.

Guys the Gorge isn't too bad on low cars, just take the corners a bit wider than normal and you'll be fine.

The ferry will be more of a concern than the Gorge

[GTR-N1]

Ferry?

What effin ferry?

We'll be nowhere near the Sackville or Wisemans Ferries; and my car can't handle an approach to a ferry Dave!

[MattyFlynn]

I went on the ferry once before with my car... Biggest mission! Lmfao

And I doubt cops will hassle us, just dont be stupid and we will be right

[leer34]

i live right next to Sackville Ferry and have for my entire life, and unless it is dead low tide most cars will make it on, if the ferry driver sees a low car like a skyline waiting they usually run it a bit further up the ramp to make it easier...

i dont see why most people would need to go that way though? unless they were taking an alternate route home

[DaveO74]

Sorry, my mistake.

For some reason I thought you were all taking the ferry.......you can all relax now!

I should learn to be quite when I don't have all the facts lol

[GGGTS4]

This would be my 1st SAU cruise if I ever make it... hopefully the weather play nice =) hope to see you guys there

[SiR_RB]

Can't wait to catch up with some sau members..should be good, weather is nice !

[God_speed]

Hmm help represent the Skylines or cut up the gorge with the little Clio...?

[SiR_RB]

Matt bring the GTR you no you wanna

[God_speed]

Haha I do. Clio has a sunroof though; need to put some colour back into this pasty complexion after so much rain!

Would be great to see your 32R there Michael. Wanted a closer look at it on the last run down through Nasho but you had to turn off for some reason if I remember.

[GTRsean]

The GTR is in, represent!!!

[rgb]

Sounds like it's going to be a good time tomorrow

Gonna pack some V for the early rise.

Cars waxed and polished waiting to gleam in the sunshine
