id support this 100%.. love the idea!!!

you can tell the cop was talking about VSS, and i was going to bring it up also. although there are some dicheads and heros, the cops still support it and have rarely caused a scene. i think as long as you make it as something for ppl to go and do as a group, like even put on a BBQ that kinda thing... the cop that replied above seems to be on the ball. keep them informed and setup an event almost thats not just there for ppl to lurk, drink and be ***wits in general and you should get there support. finding a venue that will share the same veiws will be hard. and at the end of the day your pretty much setting up a cruise club event, so will be a bit of work, but not impossible. and im sure there will be plenty of ppl on here and around that will support both what your planning and the planning itself

Thanks misk. That officer was actually talking about a different club. But you're on the ball with the other ideas and making a bit more of a friendly family atmosphere. This cop is actually a car nut which helps! I need a list of 3-4 locations so that I can check them all out, talk to the owners to get approval before I even speak to the police. I remember the Cranbourne cruise nights used to be near bunnings and they used to sit a police car right at the entrance... NO ONE mucked around. As soon as the police presence was removed everyone misbehaved and the event got closed down. Theyve now moved it to a much better location (grass oval, one way in one way out). But feed me some ideas guys... any of you work / know owners that have big lit up areas / warehouse carparks etc. I'd like to get the OK from one or two places before I go and chat to the police because I want it to look like Ive done my homework and not just rocked up unplanned.

is that dr.legal from av8 brett?

you could try sandown hotel carpark.. as it is on the hwy.. mt waverley business park.. which is on blackburn rd and forster rd in mt waverley.. brandon park shopping centre on springvale rd... there is a heap of places out there... just dont know what area your looking for!!

Kane: yes. I'd want to try to steer clear of sandown park area... its a little too hot for my liking. Ill have to have a look at mt waverly business park. Brandon Park shopping centre might be alright... the only thing is we couldnt just take over the carpark there as theyre open till 9 I think. That sort of area is fine... the further away from knox the better though.

also on furntree gully rd.. there is the warehouse/ factory area in there aswell.. like near the notting hill pub!!

Its not going to be anywhere near north / west suburbs thats for sure. Itll be central south east. Thanks for the ideas guys, keep em coming.

DFO moorabin? just off the top of my head, not sure if its lit up though? I like the idea though... though people will tell people, and you will get all the idiots starting to come. Who ruin it for everyone else who is trying to do the right thing.

Yeah Im starting to think that maybe its not the best idea. I know that even if we meet in the same spot a few weeks in a row it starts attracting tools who play up and get the wrong attention.

What about a Bunnings car park? The close at 9pm and have huge carparks, you would need to get the ok from them first of course. You could organise a few different places maybe 3 or 4, change each week, it could keep the trouble makers away a bit.

If the police were to only pick on the knobs, it would be profitable for them. Then leave us alone at the same time as we could be used "bait", then everybody wins aslong as the police are responsible in not picking on the enthusiasts that aren't breaking the law.

I've skipped the rest of the thread, so I hope I haven't missed something. What about Chelsea Heights Mitre 10 carpark? It gets used all the time for south east pre meets, as well as hot rod shows. Its massive, is nowehere near houses (cnr Springvale & Edithvale Rds), and only has one entrance/exit (I think?). Theres also Maccas, Subway, KFC, Dominos, petrol station, etc across the road. Bad points are there is a Dan Murphys right in the middle (closes at 8:30pm Fri/Sat), and there is a sports bar thats open on the weekends (potential for drunken fights). Just my thoughts. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hmm i had an idea while at work on thursday..my family own a few factorys in the industrial section of dandenong..one has a huge yard that plenty of cars can fit in + its on private property + gates can be locked so unwanted "guests" cant come in but i dont own it my grandad does n i doubt he would really let it happen, even tho he loves cars lol

Good idea 5spdvl. Thanks Chemical but Im wanting to stay away from Dandenong. Its a known hot spot and has been for 30 years. Im still going to pursue this but Ive just been absolutely flat out lately - changing jobs in a few weeks etc... but the ideas you guys have come up with have been great. Ill definately keep everyone updated with whats happening.

I have been know to frequent this sports bar at Chelsea Heights, thursday nights arent really that busy there, they have a really good security guy, and the mitre 10 car park is huge. There are only 2 ways into it aswell.
