Well, i think it was all about quality not quantity... cars that attended... AZZ-30L PSI-03L IVK-30L XCHASR VLT87s Cal T04CED Late Comers: AUS88 WOW-30L PRO-30L got a few pics, not as many as i expected but they turned out ok... All the cars looked great, and sounded great. i was expecting a much bigger turn out but i guess its only our first attempt so it can only get better.. sorry to PRO-30L and WOW-30L that we didnt get to catch up with you, we where all really looking forward to checking out your cars! anyone else with pics from the day please post them up here.. thanks to all who attended.

i wasnt at parra park, i met up at stage 2... they said they waited a while b4 they left so im not sure what happened.. PSI-03L, it has definatly got the GO to match the show, such an awesome car (P.s. Matt, if you need someone to look after it while your away you have my number ) the next cruise will have to be more organised etc, cos i had alot of fun and i hope everyone else did as well, and i think with more cars it will be alot better.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I had a great day and your right Stoney , Mat's car is really tough. It's the nicest VL I've seen even before you lift the bonnet , some serious hardware. Pity we couldn't get a group shot but with the amount of cars getting around we would be still trying to line them up. AZZ-30L & IVK-30L I'm sure you got home alright , you probably got home before me , you must have a short cut through the harbour tunnel. See Ya (XCHASR)

It was a good day. Would have been good to get a group shot somewhere, next time.PSI30L is one angry sounding VL. I got some pics. I will try and put them on my site today. When I got home I discovered a boost leak where my cooler pipe joins my TB. The pipe slipped out of the rubber join. Never happened before.(T04RCD)

yeah, thats why i wanted to go to the park, to line the cars up and get some good shots of them... but there is always next time.. speaking of next time, does anyone want to suggest anything for the next cruise? if we make it more organised we should get more people to attend.. BTW.. what happened to VLTRBO87 on the way home?? he was long gone, we where right behind him going up the mountain then he dissapeared... next time we should chose somewhere without tourists trying to park their vans for an hour... stupid pricks.....

We should definately have the next cruz on a Sunday! How about a cruz up to the Northern Beaches or maybe head up north? Terrigal is about 50mins north of Hornsby while you can add another 30mins for Newcastle. Just some ideas?

yeh tis a pity we didnt get to catch up, we saw you guys leaving as we pulled in for a lap.. looks like the cops were out too. next cruise we should organise starting at least a month in advance. next question is .... who is going to the summernats.. entering not spectating??

yeah, there where alot of cops! but still, there were people doing stupid things (eg. the bloke doing wheelie on bike with person on back and getting caught etc...) im planning on having a car entered at the nats, dont know what it will be yet but im hoping... maybe someone from sydney should take charge becos its too hard for me to organise it from here.. anyone interested?

I was 15 minutes late for Parra park and didn't catch up 'til W'gong. Suggest next time: Meet somewhere quieter than W'gong where group photos are possible and maybe have a BBQ lunch. A dam or quiet area?? Hard to tell who was who when there were VL's around that were nothing to do with the cruise. Bring G/F's along? Small signs (CT) nailed to power poles to show the way for those who get lost?? Some nice cars PSI30L and the burgundy Calais ( can't remember who) there! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah, i saw you trying to find stage 2 i think... Wollongong was the destination because its a good place to start off, some nice open roads etc... but the next one should be better
