It was a good half of a cruise I went on. Great to catch up with everyone again! The EA hadn't been on a cruise in quite a while. Shame it wasn't running too well though

Just got back, I didn't know how far bloody hoppers crossing was, its out in woop woop somewhere, I still have no idea where the hell we were in the melways... Pretty good cruise, just a shame the 3spd CFI was too quick for all of you, gonna have to do a bit better next time guys! lol

Seriously though, it was a good night, and good to see some rain finally!

Was a good cruise shame not many people made it to the last meet point. Only 7-8 cars got there. Good roads and good points. Good to catch up with some people that I aint seen in a while. Cheers Adz and Joe good job.

Thanks to everyone for comin, i thought the weather was going to majorly effect the numbers but the first few meet points certainly had plenty of cars.

It was a good cruise. The meet points were good. I CBF reading the map properly and we missed a turn off. Other than that is was good. By the last meet point I was that stuffed I slept in the car, not very comfortable either!

Thats pretty messed up man.
I thought I was gonna get the same on the way home, in taylors lakes.
VT Calais pulling up next to me at the lights, as it was slowing, the rear door was opening, some ****ed bloke got out and started yelling and ****, started coming at my car.
Was worried he was gonna kick my car!
He ended up just running off, his missus driving the VT ran a red, did a u turn and went after him LOL.
Never a boring moment on the west side!

Well we were all cruising up, Mr.Dose, and TUF.EB and myself, about 15 min from the forest hill meet, and the guy was drunk, had his wife driving and kids in the back, was yelling obsenities (spelling) out the window, so i gave him a gesture and a couple of exchange words, so he decided to hop out of the car, with like no shirt on, no shoes, and footy shorts.

Hate to say it but i did **** myself, and im sure most of you wouldve aswell seeing the size of this guy, had like tattoos and **** too. He came up to my window and im like " farrrk sorry man" lol and hes like get out and stuff, i was trying to beep mr dose to go, who was obviously too busy doing something else, and yeh he clocked me one in the ear, as i was leaning away from him.

just lucky the lights went green at that time..

I had a good time, was great to catch up with some old members and meeting newer ones. Sorry for leaving so early (2nd meet point), but I wanted to stay in the eastern subs due to my accommodation "terms & conditions".

* Thanks Mark TD for the red rooter + quick spin!

** Damo is funny

*** Rips I believe you have a video I want :P

**** John, thanks for the stickers, will stick 'em on once the car's dry.

It was a great cruise last night. Well done to Adam and Joe for organising the night it was a great turn out. Location points were excellent very close to home. Shame about the weather but overall everyone behaved well and it was sucessful. Who was driving the EF green and lost it when they turned right onto Canterbury Rd from Forest Hill, Rego was POI something I thing?
