firstly, sorry for stepping on other peoples ground (QLD) but i just wanted to give my 2 cents...

being a 'nissan enthusiast' I can understand the importance of keeping skyline cruises as skyline cruises. If i had a skyline and went on a cruise with u guys, I must admit that i would be happier to see just skylines than every tom, penis and harry there....

there are a number of reasons i spend most of my internet time on sau even tho i dont own a skyline. i feel a lot of the information available to the public on here is very uselful and doesnt just relate to skylines only. i mean, i bought my BOV from another member on sau so it has come in handy for me.

skylines are one of the most popular imports on our roads (if not the) and therefore there is a lot more interest in this forum as opposed to others. sau should hold its head up high (i know its not possible but just feel me here ok? :D ) as there are a large number of non-skyline owners that have an interest in this forum and therefore feel that they want to meet other members... where better a place than a cruise? obviously the barinas and commowhores can be looked down upon but at the end of the day, whether they be lines, silvias or 180's, most of us have fast nissans and they are all a joy to see... i rekon keep em coming (within reason)...

a few miscellaneous nissans is alright. you don't get too many others at a meet anyway. squizz is not affected by this as he has been around for a while, used to have an R32 etc.

charades etc, no.

This is not performanceforums, or boostcruising, this is SKYLINESaustralia.

a while? A WHILE?!?!?!

i agree, i think skyline cruiz = skyline cars, but do u kinda feel a bit bad that maybe some of the dues with the other cars that come along look up to us skyline drivers, and respect us, hence the reason why they are involved, the thursday night meets should have a little bit of acceptence for some other cars( like a ratio of 30 skylines to 3 non skylines).........lol, just making suggestions. the thursday night meets are for a friendly meet between enthuisiastic mates isnt it, however the big saturday night cruiz is a different story, we are on show case to a large number of people, so to see odd cars out amongst a heap of lines, might be beside the whole point of such a cruiz.

Why do we have to have a blanket rule for ALL cruises? We can discuss this at our next meeting Slip/Gary/Birty/Abu53, but here's what I suggest:

* Cruises where we aim for a large majority of Skylines but allow specifc cars (eg other Nissans, or imports or whatever)

* Cruises which are strictly Skylines only. I'm a fan of just about anything that goes, stops, steers and looks the goods, but as has already been stated, this community is all about Skylines. You can look at this as a reward for those that already own a Skyline, and incentive to buy one for those that don't :thumbsup:

* We could also have invitation-only cruises/events, to reward loyal members, or members who've made a valuable contribution

* Obviously, if someone has previously proven themselves to be a dickhead, at an SAU event or elsewhere, they will NOT be welcome. We want to keep these cruises incident-free and legal.

Anyway, this is just off the top of my head and is just meant for discussion. Feel free to poke holes in my post :D

That's what I was thinking. We're a model-specific car club, and we should deviate as little as possible from the cars we are so enthusiastic about. That's Skylines, just in case anyone was wondering :D

If we allow any vehicle to tag along on our cruises, we lose our identity as a club - instead of seeing a Skyline club, people will see a whole stack of miscellaneous cars going the same direction. Not what we want.

If/when we have cruises that aren't strictly Skylines only, we want cars that sort of 'fit in' - I'm not trying to sound snobby here (hey I used to drive a lowered VC Commodore with pursuit rims and a whole stack of different shades of red on it, I know all about shìtty cars :thumbsup:) but we want to be indentifiable as a distinct group. Falcons, Commies, Barinas et al already have their own niche clubs - if they really want to come along on a Skyline cruise, there are usually plenty of spare Skyline seats and obliging drivers :D And what better place to tee up one of these seats than the SAU forums?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
