My comment was taken out of context - I said:

Some cruises will be Skylines only - if it ain't a 'line, it ain't coming. Other cruises would certainly be more lenient. I suppose how we treat a particular cruise would depend on whether it's purely a social thing or whether there is a bit of showcasing the club happening too. What's the point in having a Skyline club if you don't need a Skyline for some events?

I never said we shouldn't allow non-Skylines, I said we should make SOME EVENTS Skylines only. I agree that some variety is good (I took my bike on one cruise a few months ago), and it is fun seeing how your 'line compares against other cars, but as I've said a few times already, what's the point in having a Skyline club when you don't need to be sitting in a Skyline to take part in some things?? The flip side of that is that I think we SHOULD have some events where a variety of cars are allowed to participate. That means people like Squizz and PhatMirage would be able to bring their own cars along to these events, but would have to score a ride in (or buy :P ) a Skyline to join in with the Skyline-only stuff. Does this sound reasonable to anyone else??

Oh yeah, I don't mind telling Gary to piss off, I tell him that all the time anyway :) But seriously, if it's a Skylines only cruise, and Gary doesn't have a Skyline at the time, he knows he's more than welcome to go for a run in mine. I dare say Squizz knows a few people with 'lines too. If it's NOT a Skylines-only cruise, they're more than welcome to bring their own cars.

i just wanna say that i have been in boost cruising and street commodore forums to try and sell my wheels, and have found that sau is far the best when it comes to the respect it offers to fellow skylines owners and enthuisiests. Street commodore forum users are so arrogant and pig headed,and it really pisses me off that someone with a 5L VR Commodore can think he is king shit and look down upon people cuase of what he drives, even though it is a piece of shit. im just trying to say that i think you guys have developed a good reputation for being a bunch of nice people, and i felt very welcome on my first cruise last week. i just think that u shouldnt spoil this through the way the meets are going to be negotiated from now on, it will be a bit hard to just suddenly bar ya friends just becuase they dont have a skyline, take phatmirrage and evo, they are the only two guys i met without skylines, but theyare good guys and might feel a little cut getting turned away. i think we can atleast do this a little less rough, and how about we offer some of these boys a ride for the cruises,man i saw heaps of lines with single drivers............just take it easy a bit thats all.

This isn't the be-all of cruise rules - all we're doing is discussing our own ideas on how we think things should be run.

Your two comments: "theyare good guys and might feel a little cut getting turned away" and "how about we offer some of these boys a ride for the cruises,man i saw heaps of lines with single drivers" are a little contradictory. We are not trying to turn people away (unless they've proven they're dickheads), but I think some events should be restricted to Skylines. I've said all along that those without Skylines are more than welcome to scab a ride on one of these events.

Im sorry hero mate, but if squizz cant come on ANY cruise that is just BS...

Nah Squizz is more than welcome on any of our cruises... I was just having a go at him really... Someone neesds to straighten the poor lad out...

I don't think we should have non skylines at the Massive Skyline Cruise II though... Hence I've offered him a lift... He'll probably come in the Cefiro anyway knowing him...

squizz and gary are exceptions. there may be others. They both used to have Skylines and squizz still drives an import nissan rwd sedan with an RB20DET. Gary is tipping big $ into the club, is waiting to buy another skyline, and still drives a modified euro 6cyl rwd car.

Hypothetical here.

If I owned an Excel, and had an interest in Skylines, I would get on this forum.

I would NEVER try to attend an SAU cruise in an Excel! It's just not the done thing. I would get a lift in a Skyline if I really wanted to come. I would feel really out of place, and downright silly running around in a little fwd 4cyl with a pack of skylines.

If I owned a 180sx and was on the forums for A WHILE, and then wanted to go on a couple of mountain runs or something, I would respectfully ask permission first.

Reality - I would NEVER rock up to a Falcon Club cruise in my car. What a ridiculous thing to do. Hey a falcon club cruise, I'll take my Skyline..... Wouldn't I look like a complete idiot.

If I organised a cruise and a commodore and some 4cyl fwd rocked up, i would kindly ask them what they were thinking, and if they would like to be passengers, or not continue on with us.

Commodores have tried to hook up with us before on a Gold Coast run, they got the message over the CB...

The fact that a little hatch can keep up is totally irrelevant. It could be a gemini with $50K spent on it that can pants every Skyline on a cruise through the mountains and on the straights, it doesnt matter. Its not a Skyline, its a Gemini, why is it there.

Try Performanceforums, boostcruising, etc if you have a miscellaneous car and want to cruise.

This is a Skyline club, don't forget that.

Marc is right, the very fact that we are discussing it shows how open and laid back this group is.
