Pizza Cruise - The Return.... Friday August 17Th.


Recommended Posts

Been quite a while since we all got together for a nice cruise and a chat over a nutritious evening meal... For those who don't know about it, the famous PIZZA CRUISE at Newport was started even before my arrival on this site some 9 years ago.... for some reason, I was eventually left to organize the last few but sadly, this event has fallen deep into the archive folder and i feel that i HAVE to do something about it. Although I would like to make it different this time around.

Back in the day, we met at a car park in Chatswood, then drove to Newport, ate and then continued on to Palm Beach (well, most of us anyway) there we shared jokes, took photos, made fun of Hondas (and other fully sik, non Nissan vehicles) then, some would cruise elsewhere, some would go home... etc.

Friday Night was the preferred time as no-one had an early start the next day. We started experiencing problems organizing this due to a lot of bad publicity on such riveting shows as ACA and TT... you know the rest... The carpark who was once more than happy to accommodate us originally as our first meeting point decided to decline our requests claiming that they did not want trouble... what trouble I have no idea....

Then once or twice we had one or two idiots join the cruise and try to act like Vin Diesel with burn outs and stupid behavior... and of course we got a lot of unwanted police attention.

Fast forward.

My idea for THE RETURN, is to make the whole thing different... instead of cruising North, the meeting point and or destination would be where http://en.wikipedia....%28TV_series%29 was filmed. CHULLORA.. at a place called THE PALMS HOTEL

There is a HUGE carpark that we are allowed to use, there is a great PUB/RESTAURANT where we can all have a nice meal, pool tables.... etc

In fact, if you have never seen it before, feel free to check out their website ----> http://www.thepalmshotel.com.au/

Details of a pre dinner cruise are open to discussion, of course as it would be great to have club members from every angle in Sydney.

THE CATCH.

Yep, there is a catch... whoever wants to be part of this MUST abide by every single road rule... NO stupidity will be tolerated AT ALL and the authorities WILL be notified.

I thank you in advance and hope we can make this happen.

aaaaaand..... GO!

Date has been set for Friday August the 17th.

Hey mate, thanks for the link... We might be able to get a gathering for the roadtrip down depending on how much notice etc... We could do a Old Pac or Wisemans cruise on the way down/back to avoid the boring freeway drive...

How can ANYONE not feel the :wub:

Let me clarify that this is not a pizza venue as such, although they might be able to dish them out... I'll find out. I was thinking of talking to management about putting together a menu package for SAU members... yep, that can be done.

The reason that this can be so is because management are keen to get the group to come in... I've spoken to them about this because, if you saw the car park alone, you'd LOVE the joint.. There's parking at the front and at the back of the building... the courtyard actually faces it! I could go on but you'll see it for yourselves.

I thought we could also take the opportunity to congratulate Corinne and Beau in person after learning the great news.. btw Congrats you two!

As far as dates, we could aim for the 17th of August for our first one, that would give us plenty time to get the word out there... it would be nice to get cars from all over the place. As Mat wrote, people can organise their own cruise and then we can share the experience.

:cheers:

Might clash with some of the Marulan guys, not sure.... Im still unsure if ill go Saturday or Early Sunday morning....

But if you do set that date we will have something to work towards! I know our Newy guys will be cruising on the weekend after and WTAC is the weekend before so maybe the 17th isnt too bad? :ermm:

Yeah.. by that time many had lost interest.. due to... well it's on the first post.. aaaaaaanyway... let's get the ball rolling and throw some dates up in the air

how many like the 17th then?

BTW, for the n00bs.... This was the first time I had the pleasure after taking over from Blitz... :whistling:

aaah the memories.. hope some old schoolers make it as well :mrt:

Are you likely to make regular meets? If so, lock in the 17th and I'll see if the guys up here are keen for a cruise down... If we get some interest I might work with you and make a plan to meet somewhere with you guys :D depends Marulan for me, but sounds OK so far!!

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • 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.
