Wow sau sa has died in the ass..

On the hunt for a late model long nose crank r32 gtr...

[Burger]

Yep, with the sa club shut down and the sau sa section silent, sa is basically dead.

The really frightening thing is, we're heading towards the end of 2015, yet this is a 2014 Wasteland thread, and only 4 pages in.

Kinda highlights how dead SAU:SA is.

[Burger]

Something must be done.

[gilly-R33]

Tis a sad time

[Burger]

Will it ever come back?

[gilly-R33]

Pretty hard to say, I don't think there is a driving force to even revive it.

[Burger]

Hopefully something happens with it one day.

Most of the issue is like most forums, they go dead because the masses made the leap over to facebook for all the trolling and bullshit.

Forums to most are a thing of the past.

Personally I love forums because of the useful information you have access to, but whats the point in forums nowadays when you can

jump on fb and ask the same question that's been asked a million times and get given an answer without actually searching for it.

[Nightcrawler]

^^ I agree. And the biggest issue with SAU forums is that EVERY reasonable question to be asked, has been asked and answered. As a library resource SAU is unbeatable, but as for day to day organising cruises/meets etc, then FB is far more useful and has considerably more reach.

[gilly-R33]

Unfortunately I'll be out of the loop in that case, don't have fb don't have the urge for it either.

sasau cruze......?

[gilly-R33]

Now that we have all this attention here, might pop a question. What could be making my power steering go heavy? Tried googling but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

[GH05T]

hicas. moving on.

when was the last sau sa cruze?

[gilly-R33]

That cleared that up....I would say the last one was the members only cruise that had the photos put up

[Nightcrawler]

The BIG problem with cruises, is that the person that organises the cruise is responsible for ALL the activities that happen on that cruise - even by randoms. The cops have come down very hard on cruises, hence why you rarely see them anymore.

[Ados31]

^^^ that's true, although being part of the R31 club in recent years, they have continued to keep up a yearly cruise which has gone off without a hitch...
with everyone transitioning over to facebook all the baggage that used to jump in on cruises seems to have declined...

I think organising a cruise a few weeks to a month in advance on the forums would net a reasonable result. and personally I think smaller groups 10 - 20or so cars is a good number for cruises...

I myself would organise a cruise but I don't get out enough to know many good driving roads, aswell as being a fairly new member/poster around here, but definitely behind the SA Cruise movement I'm 100% behind it. C'mon SA Boys get on it!!!

[GH05T]

cruses are a massive thing at the mkment, my FB is full of cruses constantly.

even if we had a meet up and chit chat somewhere nice and even just a short cruise to somewhere else nice on a sunday, nothing hugely fancy

[gilly-R33]

Even the villis nights would be a start.

[Burger]

Just a small meetup in a carpark somewhere, just to put a few names to faces. Something like 20-30 people.
