So I see more stagea's around the streets of the city of churches than ever b4, some bloody good examples of tissue box glorification at that too, but it approaches on a year since we have had a succsesful cruise, been a couple of fizzes! but no old 25 + stag cruises, pub meals, bakery runs ect ! I am way to busy to organise one but I thought I'd throw the idea out there to any one who does

So does the brother hood of the unicorn live on in Adelaide ????

The local Mr Plod seems to have been instructed to remove imported vehicles of the roads at any opportunity. The thought of 5-10 maybe more imports cruising along albeit within road rules would still prove to irresistible to let pass for any local law enforcement brigade. Its what I've experienced in other vehicle circles anyway.

Thats perhaps just my opinion aswell.

Still if it was away from the metro areas Id head along for a day

Police don't seem to worry about a heap of Camry and Volvo wagons going for a Sunday drive lol its a good family event,

There you are - you've answered your own Q !!!

Mixed Volvo Wagon and Stagea Cruise it is !!!

Anyway in Sept NSW, the Stagea Cruise attracted about 26 Stags.

At the 15th Anniv Cruise we had 23.

Get to it lads!

I think it is caus we grow a little older, and maybe wiser, and there are other more pressing needs. I was 66 when my first Stag arrived. Now pushing 74 and I am just not able to get away from my Art Gallery.

There were a few false starts with the last NSW cruise; but the thing that really helped with this one (IMO anyway) was really good route organisation and a formal lunch venue which required a small (think $10) financial commitment.

Everyone knew where they were going, and were really looking forward to lunch at the other end.

Family & time constraints are a bit B.S. to me; everyone has kids/dogs/houses/sockdrawers to organise, that's life. :/
They're excuses, not reasons; to put roadblocks in the way of things you want to do.

Clear the roadblocks from your life for ONE DAY, and meet up with a bunch of mates with a common interest.
We had people from all stage(a)s of life; kids, and all.

so damn keen.

new to the stagea mob everyone seems to be on the same page and friendly, im just starting to get my stag to a crusable level and i would love to get it out and meet some of you.

put me down for any sunday!

Hey Glen, nice to see someone with a spread of Nissan. Never had a 31 but four R30 a Sil two Stags and a 32.

If you aint got a Nissan, your life has something missin.

Im keen as. Just need a little notive to get work off and ill be on a drive to anywhere. Just getting the stag up to scratch at the moment! Keen to stretch her legs soon!!!

Ha ha every time me And misses and any of my mates leave my house at the same time there is at least a 3stag cruise lol... Funny my next door neighbour said a year ago " you must really like volvos , your always working on them "

LETS ORGANIZE ONE..... Im serious, i would love to cruise with like minded people. Plus whats so bad about stageas driving together? Most of us run 4wd so no time for skids..... Those who are rwd...... maybe haha.... Im keen thats for sure and seeing more and more around is definitely a good feeling.

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
