I made it to the clayton rd intersection on the Princes Hwy just after 9, sat standstill in the left lane on the hwy, people were pushing their cars along it was that slow, got to the entrance of the uni at 10:30 only for it to be blocked, went past with everyone else thinking there was a second entry, after looping around towards fentree gully rd, no one was going anywhere, turned around and headed back for the entrance coming the other way at 11 only to be told by a cop directing traffic that entry closed over 2 hours ago, cracked it and went home, some signs saying something like "we're full can not enter" would be great next time! that way I could of ****ed off a good hour and a half earlier.

The turnout was mental. So many tuff cars. But the cruise route.... Wtf??? A hwy trip that takes 20 min if all went well. But the traffic was from the tunnel all the way to racecourse rd. And that wasn't the exit!!! Really disappointed with waiting 365 days just to hav a squirt down the hwy. Then get stuck in traffic. Wasnt too impressed

I reckon it was the best charity cruise I've been to. As for the traffic, there's only so much you can do when you have 1500 cars to get in and out of a venue. They used 4 lane freeways the whole cruise and the only reason the traffic was stuffed at racecourse road was because everyone was trying to get in to the Melbourne show... if you had have read your map you would have seen that it wasn't the exit you should have taken but I heard it got more banked up after we passed through. Top quality cars and a great day, Well done SC. Only thing they needed was someone on a P.A telling the crowd what the dyno figures were... no one knew how much power anything made.
