I had a great day thanks to SAU Qld for a well run cruise. Special thanks to Erin you did a grand job. At least the weather held out untill the end, I was lucky to miss the worst of it.

On the Ipswich motorway I set the cruise ctrl and about 3 bends before the tolls I hit a puddle (no rain) looked like just wet tarmac but aquaplaned me sideways for awhile, scary stuff. lucky there was no traffic.

Thanks to all you guys and girls for turning up and making this such a worthwhile event to run. Makes the cutting of 5 kilos of onions worth while

The official tally so far for funds raised at todays events totals $2500. Awesome effort guys! Special thanks to Giant from the forums for his personal contribution of $500 and a matching of that contribution with another $500 from his business RGM Maintenance Pty Ltd, making that a total donation of $1000 from one person!

Outstanding efforts guys! I'll be donating this money in person again at the RCH on Friday morning, so keep an ear out on B105 friday morning around 8am for the donation to be made

If all of you's had of hung around at the dam for an extra 30 or so minutes, you would have all missed the storms/rain and driven through some huge puddles that were heaps of fun!!

Once again, thanks to everyone that participated and made this event worthwhile yet again..

PS: I would like to apologise to the familes who's children heard my speech at Aspley car park, but unfortunately, those things have to be said so the idiotic behaviour is kept to a minimum.

Damn that was a fun day, i had a ball apart from my car playing up, and have a great truckie tan on my right arm from driving. I have to say i am amazed at the friendlyness of the people that came, not one single person was unpleasant wich is a far cry to what i am used to on the sunny coast (excluding all the skyline lads and a few others, you know where ya's are ). I cant wait for another outing like this, was a real pleasure meeting people in person.

Here's my 32 dwaffed by the r33 and r34 haha.

Erin thanks for organising the day, with help I am sure.

Sorry I left before you all left Aspley, I had family arrangements that were unavoidable.

I did however, stand along Albany Creek Rd and watch you all go past!!!!

Awesome sight, not to mention the Red Monaro Highway Patrol that followed...

The whole thing was pretty good for the size of the cruise. Just 2 things we might have to implement for the next one.

** workshops that brings car to advertise there ware should contribute a sizable donation and in return, get to set up table and hand out promotional brochures at designated points.

** ppls need to wear a tag of their nick, as I got tire, after the 100 time I asked ppls what their nick is after talking to them for 5 mins.

just a thought.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I dont think any worksops brought along any demo cars tbh?

none that i noted?

[Bobjones]

[wrxkilla]

Well, yesterday was fantastic. We had an awesome time. Some of those views after the turn-off to somerset dam were incredible

Thanks must go to everyone who joined in to help (ESPECIALLY ERIN for organising the whole thing!). Can't wait for the next one now

235 tires on the front + 2" of water = Aquaplaning <> happy times!

had to slow down to about 60 in a 90 zone on the way home.

a black 32 gtr flew past me !!!

[Revhead]

Awesome day, a huge thanks to Andrew, Dave, James etc for their efforts, they are most definitely appreciated. A special thanks to Erin too for being the driving force (excuse the pun ) behind the whole day and doing so much of the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes a day like this go as smoothly as it did.

AND... I believe this cruise lets us reclaim the throne to the BIGGEST SKYLINE MEET IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, beating the previous best of 99 which (if memory serves) was set by SAU NSW. Good effort people

[Ezz35]

thanks for the great day yesterday guys n girls, was well worth the drive up from here... great roads on the way there too......cept for that dam rain lol

[predator]

Great day! awesome amount of funds raised and a great drive.

Luckily I went the back way to the goldcoast, so missed the worst of the storms, but it also cut off part of the fun too

Overall went pretty well.. only disappointing thing was to see every hero do a burnout as they left though in a public park <_<

[giant]

THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY GUYS!!

I was amazed at the good sensible driving displayed.

I had a great day, very well run, just wish i had stayed at the dam and missed the storm. (also had to take care of the other gtr that shit a turbo)

i thought it was a great thing to be part of, and it meant a fair bit to me as i have a three week old boy!!

well done Erin and co.!! good job

Hope to see some of you wednesday.

Cheers Russell

[Bobjones]

Well I lost count around the 80's as people went past...I was almost in tears laughing at you all trying to leave the Hyperhole...

Oh and yes he was following you...from a mate I think he kep going along Old Northern Road though, this one is based in Strathpine...

[nismo33]

yeah...was fun... sucks my new line didn't have aircon so me and the GF were cooking inside... also a little bit sun burnt but yeah.. FUN..!

disappointing bit only are those who turned the cruize to a race to reach the finish line first.

[wrxkilla]

i didnt see any speeding or anything like that?the roll through the hills was pretty sedate and everything etc.

or anyone racing there etc?

[TOY 33]

Thanks guys for a great day (Think i'v heard that before )

All you guys insist on living in Brisbane and the Gold Coast ie Storm Central. Come live up the Sunshine coast as its named that for a reason We cruised back from the dam through Peachester with Sunny weather and minimal cars only had to overtake a couple of 'sunday drivers'. Sorry to the car Red R33 GTSt behind me as we overtook a sunday driver, I hope my flames didn't scorch your paint work

Thanks again guys & gals, got some good pics.

Who was the mad bugger lying on the sweeping right hander coming up the range with a dam big camera? He would have some crackers if he's still alive

See you all next time
