I like car cruises the same as I like my women.

No more then 6 at a time, no police trouble and ends with a BBQ.

LIA = Light Industrial Area.

@Alex: That's why we just go to the pub. That way, if some young blood has something to prove, the spill doesn't cost anyone their life!

My idea of a perfect cruise is about no more than five or six cars, decent* drivers, beautiful blacktop, great weather, a great stop for lunch and tankful of 98 octane.

I can't stand wankers who turn up to pose.
I can't stand P-platers who are trying to prove something other people have realised long ago is a dismal fail.
I can't stand egos. Bruised or otherwise.

Run what you bring. Know your place. Relax. Hug a corner. Have some fun.

*decent drivers = experienced in the art of cruises, considerate, courteous, can control confidently their vehicle, and have nothing to prove by taking silly and dangerous risks. Somebody who's free of expectations.

Unfortunately, there are some here that taint this mantra for others, and I am therefore more selective of my attendances here.

Trooooofs forken troofffs.

Just their soft drink!!

I just like tootling down the coast here in Perth. You can do Fremantle to Mindarie( about 50-60km), pretty much right next to the water. When the weathers good, there is some great bird watching guaranteed. 50km/h limit along a good chunk of it too, so it really is cruisey.

True Alex!

Hahaha made me think, what could I possibly prove... that my car might be able to outrun a 6 Cyl Commodore haha

@Brett: Hopefully the sun is shining on Sunday so we can have a half hour perve up the coast!

The most retarded person I ever saw on a cruise was this Asian (no racism intended) bloke called Tommy.

He had a riced up Gen 4 NA auto. Tarbo bonnet, really expensive wheels, loud as exhaust, the works.

Anyway, he overtakes a big old van (I was behind him at the time) ON A FORKEN BLIND LEFT HANDED HAIRPIN! He had no idea what was coming, because of his choice of car it took him roughly 1 year to overtake, narrowly missing an oncoming car who beeped at him. With his Mrs. in the car.

When we met up at the pub he sat at our table, his Mrs sat at her own table (felt so sorry for the girl, no-one to talk to, he doesn't introduce her) and all the time at lunch he was raving about how good his own car was.



He single handedly turned me off cruises.

Which is another good reason to have them along... they can drive us old heads home.

Alex,

Agree. Unfortunately, those cruises are few and far between, so I take what I get.


Let a brother know if you are planning on a decent run some time!

Haha, the WAR clan, or WozFoz, whatever, has been around long enough that the people like that are all weeded out for the most part.

We had some scary incidents back in the day though. Some dude did a fly by on me during a hills cruise, I was probably at about a buck ten, but I knew there was a t-junction coming up - he didn't. Pulled it up just before nudging into a tree, but went straight through the stop sign... dodge!

I think you were on that cruise, Brett? Bunch of people got lost?

[skillionaire]

Before I was state rep, it was that Scottie bloke.

[Brett]

Was that the one that started at that park by the river in Maylands, went to Cott, then up to the hills, Finishing at Mundaring hotel?

[Alex]

Will do Adam!


The trouble is, you see, is that when you organise a cruise, these morons just show up.

You can't exactly tell them to get on their merry way away from you and fellow cruisers.

So such cruises usually turn out to be an invitational affair, which unfortunately, plays against my beliefs that cruises should be something shared with the greater population.

Dilemma makes me sad.

So then I drink a sugar free V, and do some work on the haus.

[Adam]

I think the problem is, alot of the blokes don't really get out on the open road enough, and just think, wow 100k speed limit. Won't be any danger here!

[B4TT]

Ok, thinking about my exhaust again might try and book it in for next weekend.

[skillionaire]

@Brett: Think it predates that one... it's all a blur. COME ON STRIKE WATER!!!

@Alex: So true, we had some bloke that insisted on rocking up in his VN. He was interested in Forester's - which is cool - but we sort of thought he'd come and have a squiz at meet point A, then tootle off home again...

....not so.

DO IT.

I'm gonna say it now, a TT Subaru with an exhaust are probably the best sounding Subaru's you can get.
