Macca's Drive Thru For Blue

[htial]

As many of you know, my dad spent over 40 years as a member of the Victorian Police Force. In that forty years there were a few times when he could have become one of the 157 Victoria Police Officers who have lost their lives doing their job.

Now I know that there are a few in the Skyline community that feel like they're picked on for driving an import, but Blue Ribbon Day is a day that we should put those feelings off to the side and support Victoria Police.

So saying that. I'm thinking that we should have a cruise to take advantage of "Macca's Drive Thru For Blue" on Friday 16th of September. This is from their web site. - - McDonald's is supporting Blue Ribbon Day with the Macca's Drive Thru For Blue. Visit any McDonald's Drive Thru on Friday 16th September between 6pm & 7pm and McDoanld's will donate $1 from every Drive Thru order to the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation. Your visit during these times can help us to build new and improved emergency facilities in our public hospitals named in memory of police officers who have fallen in the line of duty. The Blue Ribbon Foundation and McDonald's - Remembering Lives by Saving Others. - -

So, Laith's SuperDuper Mini Cruise is as follows...

5:45pm - Meet at Burden Park car park. Heatherton Road, Springvale South. Near the corner of Heatherton Road and Springvale Road. (see attached map)

5:45pm to 6:00pm - Chat and general catchup.

6:00pm - Leave Burden Park car park and turn Left onto Heatherton Road. (again see attached map)

Cruise for 30 seconds

6:00:30pm - Turn right from Heatherton Road into Springvale McDonalds carpark. Corner of Springvale Road and Heatherton Road. (see attached map)

Make your way through the drive through and order anything you like. Each time you go through McDonalds donates $1.oo.

6:05pm - Make your way back to the meet point. (see attached map)

The SuperDuper thing about this cruise is you can do it as many times as you like in the one night.

Things to bring:- 1/4 tank of fuel.

Hope to see you all there.

May be able to swing by on my way elsewhere, but it'll be a flying visit if I can manage it.

My uncle's a copper in country Victoria and when I told him I'd bought a GT-R he said, "I'm glad we didn't have cars like that when I was a kid!"

Love to be there, got two bday's on that day and what i mentioned on FB but i should be there some time or another to show support!

[xALmoN]

sigh, work. why can't they make it the whole night?

[Bec]

Worthy cause Laith - im going to Phillip Island that weekend, so wont be able to make it, but I'll make sure I cruise through every Macca's I pass on my way down

[shanusr33]

IN!

[Sunkist]

im in.! happy to support the coppers that do their job.

[WYTSKY]

Hopefully can swing past

[alr33x]

Good cause I'd go to my local maccas if I could get in and out the mt. Everest driveway..

[Downforce]

Not a bad idea Laith. A lot of idiots on the road around that area though... so hope a bunch of skylines does not encourage the usual commo driving clowns trying to show off their mad skillz doing single spinners...

[Dori*mon]

Should be around the area at that time so I'll pop by

[shanusr33]

I work till 6pm on Fridays so I'll see you about 6.30.

Hope you guys are still there

[htial]

Drat!!!...

I've had a job pushed back by an hour so I now finish work at 6pm. It's only about ten minutes away so I'll try and get away quickly.

Also a side note. If you've got any extras in your car it would be good if you could go through for each person. So if you and your passenger are getting a meal each, make two drive thrus. It's not $1.oo for each meal. It's $1.oo for each order. You really don't have to if you don't want to. It's just a thought.

[MUZT3K]

So I can just go thru get a 50c cone so maccas will be losing money lol

[Downforce]

I went past about 7:30 everyone had gone lol

[htial]

It got to 7pm and we all buggered off.

I counted 4 skylines that just drove past. One lives near me and went into McDs, but didn't come over. Think I might have to walk past his place and drop in a spotter card and see if I can get him to join the club.

Oh. We did have some cops show up, but they were drug cops in an unmarked wagon. They were cool. But also massive. Once we told them why we were there they were more interested in looking at the cars from a enthusiast side.
