Hey Guys,
names Ben & just joined the club, keen to meet all you guys and get into some cruises. Just wanna know how often you hold mid week cruises such as the one tomorrow which I can't make. And do you guys often drive alone or do people always bring passengers. Thats the main reason I joined none of my mates are into cars let alone Fords and my girlfriend hates them cos her ex took her on cruises in his pulsar (don't blame her), so I think il get along with everyone pretty well! Just wanted to say hi and make myself known and hope to hook up with you guys on the road soon.

Welcome aboard.
I can't answer your question on mid week cruises, they're more of a random unofficial thing so can pop up when ever. Some people go the cruise alone, others go with mates, Generally theres only ~20 or 30mins of driving between each meet point so its not long before you're out and socialising again.

Welcome. I know the feeling of having heaps of friends not into cars. That's why I got involved in Ford Forums and the e-series gang (since I have been driving the EA for years). It is also a good place to ask for advice or opinions on problems with the car. Hope you enjoy your time here

Nah you woulda got some made anywhere from 8pm to 5 mins before you ordered. We throw hundreds of em out if they sit there too long. I work sat and sun 5am-1pm at the moment woulda been stoked if I hadda seen you guys there. Next time there's a cruise headin there I can get up ta 4 dozen for half price so use should be happy with that!
