Thnx, you guys that didn't come to geelong missed out. Was a nice sea breeze so it was colder, lots of cars and a great park where we went that would've been sweet with more cars! See ya's on the next cruze. What you reckon steve?

was very good, some nice cars turned up, and although not every one finished the trip to geeelong, we that did had a nice cool cruise.... P.S. i still think the pinkish wrx was the best one of the lot down in the carpark.

I was actually asking if we should do it again and you guys said no, i remember asking a few people. So I guess that idea is out the window. Next cruise will be HUGE!!!! Keep your eyes open, pics of todays cruise will be up very shortly... Brace yourselves. One more thing... I hope you guys appreciate all this stuff, I mean if someone says some things like the 'cruise was S-H-I-T' or 'theres not enough cars, there should be more' or something (and yes i have heard it before) you can just go jump into the river. I mean you guys try to run a whole club yourself and only yourself from the ideas, to making and keeping a website up to date, taking and putting the photos in the internet (and wiping out the plates of every car), thinking of new routes for cruises, typing them up and prinnting them... etc. I started this club from nothing. Just a little idea in my head so I put it into action and yes it took off. I think that in itself is a big achievement. I sometimes also hear from a pew people saying to me 'thanks for the cruise', or 'thanks for organising it' and I do thank those people. I just wrote that to clear things up, I hope you see where I am coming from from my point of view, it's easy to just be a cruiser and say stupid comments, and those of you think I bolted cos I couldnt be stuffed today going for the rest of the cruise, you are wrong. It was that I wasnt feeling well from the scorching weather, I see my health more important then slugging out the rest of a cruise. Anyways... See you all on the next one... and thanks for attending today Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yer that pink rex was a standout of em all. Dean, I think ppl would all for another cruze to geelong. Yes it is along way, but once ur here it is sweet. Heaps of good places to park, lots of cars and things to see. We are all greatful for the efforts you put in, even if we don't say it. Cos without someone like urself, there would be no organisation. If I lived in melbourne, I would put together a cruze 2. I think once afew more ppl get there cars back on the road there will be more. It was just the heat today that kept some really nice cars away.

Same goes for me too Dean. Your doing a great job. Sorry i couldnt make it to Geelong, my car was over heating and my diff is literally gonna go on me at anytime so i was even risking coming to the premeets. But it will be all good if u wanna do another day trip down to geelong soon dean coz my car is getting a new diff tonight and hopefully the weather wont be as hot as it was. And to XEC747- wtf . Wat u mean there is no nice cars. Every cruise i have been on has hot ass cars. Mine is not stock but i dont see a problem with stockies coming on cruises. Its for everyone. Maybe u should come on the next VL cruise and see wats there. U wont be dissapointed Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As I said been there done that and didn't enjoy it. Nobody bothered making a effort to talk to me on any of the cruises and it's not like me by myself is going to go up to a group of guys and say "hi how are you" it's just not me. I made the effort of coming and wether it may be because my car is 'plain jane'(the main idea) , I thought it was the idea of the 'organisers' to welcome new people/cars. And if I'm going to blow more than $50 in fuel, I want to atleast see some nice cars. I'd see more perfomance cars if I was to blow $25 on fuel and drive to all my mates house and check out their cars...... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

MZ DCEIVU - Thanks, yes we should make it again seeing as there is interest again I hope you had fun at the beach, I SMSed you but I didn't get a reply. XEC747 - You are supposed to feel welcome, as I go around giving everyone a map welcoming them and saying hi to them, so obviously you haven't been on one this club's cruises. notorius vl - Nick buddy, no problems, definately see you next time Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
