Should we try to build (member) numbers up first before organising a date?

[RotaS4]

Should we try to build (member) numbers up first before organising a date?


i don't think there'd be any problems with attendance numbers at all if it was announced.

There's just the matter of getting insurance etc etc as a large club meet and cruise like that. I know most of you don't care about it and just want to cruise but it's still a matter that would have to be addressed before anything could be organised.

Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong

[imported_admin]

I doubt that many cruises have insurance at all..

Would be interesting to know if Zippel does, as those are getting HUGE...

[Kusanagi]

Well i might as well be the first to mention it.

Any plans for one this year? its always a massive turnout and a great cruise/day.

Would be a shame not to have one. I want to bring the new car out

:D


Count me in!

[ADJUST]

I think Eros has a good point. If they are being organised under the banner of a club, the organisers of the cruise could be held liable for any mishaps.

Well we organise 3 cruises/yr for NS.com (have done for the past 4 yrs)...the last in Feb this yr had over 500 cars attended...we have never had insurance, our legal advice was providing you meet on public property eg a carpark open to the public and do not charge an entry fee, you don't need it.....you can collect donations but you can't state $X per person/car entry fee.

Hope that helps

OLD Mark

[Ipswitch06]

yeah bday cruise sounds awesome, i have been the last couple years so i cant miss this one.

yeah f insurance, who needs it.

[Kusanagi]

I wonder what is the average number of cars attended in the past, as I have never been in one, a few hundred cars sounds like a big number to me in our quiet Adelaide, will likely cause traffic jam?

K

[Rota_boy]

We have had over 100 cars for each of the anniversary cruises, yeah we do stop traffic :)

[rxgirl]

i think there was one birthday cruise where we counted 310 cars

[Luke]

...providing you meet on public property eg a carpark open the the public and do not charge an entry fee, you don't need it...


Could we get donations to the club? Those that want to contribute throw in a few bucks, otherwise don't worry about it? Ie, completely voluntary?

[FC3S]

the good old days of 100+ rotas goin up the freeway
miss that sort of thing

[Kusanagi]

Whoa... 300+, 100+ cars?! How many of them in % are rotary driven?

K

[Rota_boy]

i think there was one birthday cruise where we counted 310 cars



Have you been smoking crack again Cat?

[rxgirl]

Probably, but i am sure there was a cruise where there was about that many.
Probably not all rotas but.

[Rota_boy]

The most we had was in the 100s including non rotors

Clubs dead mate its purely just a forum with same name now.

[13bwankel]

At the 5th birthday cruise we counted over 140 cars.... that was heaps...

[Ipswitch06]

yeah the anniversary cruise was ok, there were 2 cops at the meet point that stopped traffic which was good. Not that i like them picking on me for my brakes wearing defect but meh.

[tgf]

Would be interesting to know if Zippel does, as those are getting HUGE...

Excuse the lack of knowledge here but who or what is Zippel?

[The Stig]

Google is your friend :)

Fair enough.

[wld_rx7]

I've never been on a rotor cruise before considering i've lived here only a couple of years. I look forward to my first though :)

[brapn]

Im down for a rota cruise

[Madaz13b]

I was just looking through old copies of Fast Fours, and found one with an article from 2006 Birthday cruise. some nice pictures, especially the car park full or rotars.
but it said over 90 cars, and did have a pic of some other cars, a soarer, a few skylines.

[Tally]

I don't care what anyone says.... a rotor cruise is on the cards no matter what....

The thing is everyone says yea yea we will organize one but it seems no one does...

so whats the deal guys?

yes police are out in force but when arnt they...

other forums are having heaps of small cruises.
which I don't think is suitable to rotary vehicles, as people only take em out every so often because of the type of car they are...

so one or two big cruises a year sounds good...

and incentives to go on the cruises would be good like a bbq or sumtin afterwards...

In sydney there is a new club, the Vintage Mazda Owners Club of NSW and they are doing just that...

Isnt that what SA rotors was about in the past???

just my 2c.

Cheers

No offence you are allowed to put in your 2c (this goes for everyone else on the forums out there) If you want to cruise, organise one yourselves. Don't keep relying on SAR to do it for you all the time.

Not trying to start fights with anyone, but out of all you lot asking about a cruise someone could have organised something by now.

[Tally]

100% agree with you man.

But it aint that easy to just go and organize a cruise and expect 250 cars to rock up or what not.

SA rotors is the name that everyone knows so if a cruise is to be organized, its to be under that name.

Sure a lot of people organize cruises, but it aint that enjoyable/worth wild if only a few cars rock up...

By all means im willing to help out and get a cruise underway...

[FLEX]

Im willing to organise a suitable cruise route, can we use "SA Rotors 6th Bday Cruise"???

Id need someone to design a poster and help with a date/time though

[Tally]

thats where I come in... I have photoshop and a epson stylus pro large format printer...

print em out and put em in couple workshops... notice boards etc...

[zoomz]

I think this is what everyone is waiting for, at least i am anyway, my 2c is give us a month or twos notice.

yeh if you can whip something up similiar to previous years posters that would be great

Yeah would be atleast a few months notice, thats the key to getting a big turnout. Id need the go ahead from dave first before organising anything though

[Kusanagi]

Glad to see people is starting to warm up to this!!! See if this can snowball into a big one.

K

[Tally]

Im mocking up a test poster and ill post it up and see what you guys think...

[Tally]

alright I just mocked up two quick ideas...

let us know what you guys think.... no where near final product though...

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1820/sarotorsposter2.jpg http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/8146/sarotorsposter.jpg

[Kusanagi]

The second one has potential!!!

Just my 2c:

At the bottom perhaps add "for more info please visit www.sarotors.org", this way can increase the publicity of the forum too.

The slogan and the info can be a tad smaller, they are fighting with the heading a bit.

I liked the heading. I'm thinking may be somewhere around the heading add a rotor in there?

Good Work!!

[Tally]

Thanks man appreciate it.

ill make those changes...

as I said work in progress till we are happy with a good poster...

[rxgirl]

i think the bottom one looks good.

As a suggestion, maybe we can put some of actual members cars on the poster??
and maybe one of shanes old yellow s2 as a respect thing i think
I do understand the tuffer cars on the poster the better but think maybe the people who help and put their time into the club may appreciate seeing their cars on there too.

just my 2c

[Tally]

yea sorry not really up to date with who owns what...

I just used random pics from the 2006 cruise...

could you point out/show which cars would be good to put on...

[Rota_boy]

Yay my cars on there :)

Are we gonna call it a birthday cruise or just an annual cruise?? as its not really the clubs birth day anymore?

[RotaS4]

Yay my cars on there :)

Funny, I don't see any red 1st gens on that poster :P

[Rota_boy]

I don't see any red 1st gens on that poster though

true, but im talking about the coupe

[gotorx7]

Why not call it an Anniversary Cruise? :)

[rxgirl]

i like the anniversary cruise, excuse my spelling, im half asleep.
maybe go throught the members rides section and take some pics from there?

[FLEX]

Why not call it an Anniversary Cruise? :)

Sounds good, is it ok to have "SA Rotors, Anniversary Cruise 09" on the poster?

[gotorx7]

No reason that I can think of not to do that..

If you want it to be 100% clear, make it SA Rotors Forum Anniversary cruise..

[Tally]

[EDITED] will update this post accordingly...

[mUnky-matt]

I do hope this goes through because (as I posted in kusanagi's cruise thread) I'd really like to see rotors on the road again ;)

[Kendo]

awesome not awsome.

[Kotter31]

maybe it should be held in october so i can have a car ready and the weather should be good by then but still not to hot

[jesse_RE]

i've been to the last 4 i think? cant remember lol either way if it goes ahead i'll be in again

[Kusanagi]

Hello All,

We are now in August, it's been very quiet here and it will be the end of 2009 before you know it, can I suggest another cruise between now and X'mas?

I understand that the tension is high with the recent hoon incidents, if everyone adhere to the law and has a legal car, I can't see any issues here really.

Can I also suggest any old members (or anyone who's keen) from here to lead and organise this time? reason being I now have two jobs going at once, so my hours are very unpredictable, so much to a point that my PDA is useless. It won't be good if the organiser can't make it to the cruise in the last minute haha. So anyone up for it?

This would be a chance for everyone on here to meet and greet, we can have some activities such as BBQ or lunch at a pub etc. Weather should be better by then so bring all rotars out of hibernation, shed, garage, closet whatever!

[capella re]

you know me, any excuse to tear the i mean drive like a grandma. name the date, and only a random defect station will stop me!!!

[GloRida]

i will be definately interested, so count me in.

[Kusanagi]

Haha thanks for the interest guys, however I can not organise or do the lead this time due to working hours have dramatically changed (no point for me to organise one if I may or may not make it myself), so we're all waiting for someone to raise his/her hand to organise one.

There's still plenty of time between now and X'mas, I'm pretty sure something will happen.

[vortex]

I guess we could just pick a date, then use Ket's route from last time - it looked like a good one! Is there really anything more than that to do?

[capella re]

definately nothing wrong with that. kets route was a good one, nice and windy away from the mass population. the only new thing we need is a new meet point as the carpark we met up at was not big enough to comfortably hold more than say 20 cars and the driveway would hurt frontbars and exhausts of slammed cars. so new meet point set a date, use kets old route and its on an poppin. oh yeah and a chase car to deploy spike strips for the five 0.

[Kusanagi]

Hey Simon, how did you know the route was good since we lost you half way hahaha? You must have discovered something new?

The route was originally suggested by rotas4, but we didn't follow exactly, because Matt suggested a better route from Lobethal onward, he was the lead car from that point, and that was the best part.

I was thinking may be to have an early start, so activities like lunch at a pub, BBQ etc can be part of it, rather than just plain cruise, and anyone here please suggest.

BTW, I think the meet point car park can fit 40 no problem, and I didn't notice the ground clearance of the entrance as I have no problem with my stock height anywhere :D

[capella re]

yeah will fit 40 cars door to door but where the hell am i spose to do doughnuts. im probably going to get groaned for that but i'll do them quietly!!!!

i think it would struggle to fit 40 but the last bday cruises have had over 100, not suggesting it will be that big but better to be safe than have cars parked halfway down the road

[vortex]

yeah will fit 40 cars door to door but where the hell am i spose to do doughnuts. im probably going to get groaned for that but i'll do them quietly!!!!

I know you're probably joking - but so it's clear if you do, you will be asked to leave.

[capella re]

I know you're probably joking - but so it's clear if you do, you will be asked to leave.

yes, i was joking. its pretty obvious at the moment that car clubs are trying to avoid any negative publicity and i understand that, but thanks for giving me the banishing stick

[Kusanagi]

Hmm... speaking of doughnuts, I just had some Krispy Kreme original recipe this morning, fresh from Sydney! Yum!

I guess the name of the food is pretty much a forbidden word these days, especially when apply to car scene.

[capella re]

tell me about it. geez look at my post time-VORTEX pinged me for it in 6 minutes. damn hes fast!!!!

[Kusanagi]

That's why James is the super moderator mate :)

Misbehavior is a real concern in organising a cruise, since this is not a club anymore, individuals who organise one will need to take that policing responsibility upon themselves, people are having concern just to drive their car out on the road these days, let alone organise one, perhaps this is the reason no one put their hands up to lead one?

Anyway, time will tell.

[FDTRX7]

I Agree Ket,

Even I noticed the day I got my S6 RX7, I was still getting used to driving it, Everyone was trying to be idiots...

Count that arvo was:
3x R33 Skylines
1x R34 Skyline
1x Toyota Sprinter
2x RS Supras

All that driving just from Grand Junction to Elizabeth. (12Km)

I guess that's why most Owners keep them in the Garage....

Essentially, A "Meet and Greet" would be possible, but essentially if you want to break the law, it's on the irresponsable persons head.

[vortex]

That's part of the reason my FD stays in the shed most of the time.. so over idiots in skylines and commodores thinking I want to race because my car has an exhaust and GT wing :)

Now I ignore them, I don't even look at them - and i've even turned off just so I'm not driving near a 'typical hoon' to coin a media phrase..

Anyway, end hoon-rant :)

I'm all for a small catch up and cruise - but I guess regardless of what happens it's on the owner/drivers head if they do something wrong or turn up in a defectable car and get done.

Sunday August 23rd work for everyone?

[Kusanagi]

Hmm... I can't make it sorry... my weekends this month all booked out, gave the last available day to Joe on the 29th to learn some techniques off him. Next month only 13th or 27th for me... :S

[capella re]

That's part of the reason my FD stays in the shed most of the time.. so over idiots in skylines and commodores thinking I want to race because my car has an exhaust and GT wing :)

i dont like being singled out as a dickhead rotary driver, i dont think you should be doing the same with skylines and commodores. Any car brand has idiots, thats where this whole car modifying fight has come from, us not wanting to be labelled due to the actoin of a few idiots. Its not the cars or parts that are the hoons, its the drivers, blame them. And all this cos i made a joke of doughing donuts.

as for the cruise, any dates good. i can just rearrange stuff to fit in. rather be on a rotor cruise than mowing the lawns or going to work.

[Kotter31]

im a hoon and i drive a FD so maybe all this is my fault

[capella re]

thats banishing stick talk nic, your going to be in the quiet time corner with me soon.

[Kotter31]

the funny thing is that most of the cars impounded under the hoon laws are every day cars like commies that little jonny borrowed off his parents to drive his mates to the footy club to do a skid in the carpark

[vortex]

I totally agree, but I usually try to take them as I find them. Unfortunately these days though more often than not you'll often see dirty beatup silvias/skylines, commodores and other types of cars with drivers who don't care - often they'll speed through traffic to catch up, sit on your bumper, rev the engine and dump the clutch IN TRAFFIC, trying to get you to race them. I should have said before, but these are the ones I try to get away from...

You'll hate me, but I've never been pulled over once yet ;)

[FLEX]

I think we need to pick a date so that we can get the posters out asap. I hav found a suitbale location big enough for the meet point, the new Grepps X complex. Had a sus last night on the way home from uni, ITS HUGE! plenty big enough for the meet point and atm there isnt many shops so carpark isnt busy. On a sunday id assume it would almost be empty.

as for the date i was thinking the end of Oct.

Sorry for the delay but now that uni is back im heaps busier than i expected, still happy to organise it with assistance from others

If your talking the home maker centre, it does get pretty busy there on a sunday

There might be enough room tho depending how big the cruise is

[RotaS4]

You've obviously never been there on a Sunday Ryan.

It's a mess there on sundays the entire carpark is full of dickheads who can't drive, and it's filled to capacity.

couldn't have put it any better...

[FLEX]

hmm ok, i havent been there at all during business hours. Drive past on my way to uni a bit, carpark is HUGE though and there isnt a great deal of shops out there yet so definitely a surprise to hear that.

What about Bunnings at Parafield then? Ive been there on several occasions on a sunday and theres room at the edge of the carpark with enough space, dont near the car wash and dog wash

I think this poster is the go too, plus my car made it on there :)

Way to go FLEX! End of Oct sounds good, weather should be warmer by then. So what kind of assistance do you need? I'll see what I can do.

BTW, what would be your car count expectation for this one? are you intending to make this a BIG one?

Cheers,

Ket

[Kotter31]

i might even have the FD ready by then

oh shit i just jinxed it, oh well maybe next year

[capella re]

any dates fine with me as said before. In my opinion bunnings parafield is asking for trouble as its renound as a meet point and cops can shut it down real quick. i know no one will be doing anything wrong but i live in reality where that doesn't matter. If anyone is familiar with inglefarm shopping centre that is really good as a meet point and has a large area south west of the shopping cetre that hardly ever gets filled. Ive been on a few jap cruises leaving from there and its real easy to get in and out of too with plenty of room for mingling. Up to you though ryan.

p.s. ingle farm has its fair share of car club meets there too but because its a bit more out of the way, cops generally do a driveby and then spectate from up near the shops.
Simon.

[vortex]

Yeah I remember the NS.com BSM cruise that left from there near the start of the year.. Big cruise, big police presence..

help with picking a meet point, cruise route, suitable stopping points. Basically what were doing now in this thread. A suggestion for the date is a good start. Meet time i would say 1030 for an 1130 sharp departure.

I cant remember a bday cruise with less than 100 cars, id say this one would be no different.

Simon.

Definitely valid points, the police have always been informed about our cruises and the only people who get in trouble as a rule are the ones being stupid. The best advise i can give is dont be a show off as you enter the meet point, as this is what usually results in unwanted attention from the boys in blue.

Ingle farm would definitely be a more suitable meet point.

Yeah I remember the NS.com BSM cruise that left from there near the start of the year.. Big cruise, big police presence..

yeh i was on that cruise too, took "EVO 10". the cops only stopped the ones with ridiculus 'mods' like wheels sticking an inch+ outside the guards etc plus the fact it was a NS cruise, so i dont think we would have too much to worry about

[vortex]

I haven't driven it, but Ket's route looks great :)

I would not be dissapointed if you got lazy (you know.. busy with uni etc) and had to pick that one :P

[Kusanagi]

FLEX:
I'm not familiar with the north, so I can't help much here, I was merely picked out a location on google map last time.


Vortex:
Only issue with that route is there will be no stopping, must drive all the way through Loberthal as there's no car park big enough to hold this many cars, traffic will be stopped and the local will probably bit*h and mourn to the cops, not a good thing. So I'm suggesting may be take the highway where road can accommodate more cars.

The route we took last cruise is more appropriate for small cruise.

I've never been to any previous SAR cruises, anyone remember the routes?

[vortex]

Ahh ok, thanks for that Ket.

Gotta have at least a few twisties though ;)

[Kotter31]

whats wrong with etsa park? it holds enough cars as long as there is no event on and its pretty much central to everything

[FLEX]

cant really have to many twistes with such a large number of cars, its just a recipe for disaster.

Nothing wrong with etsa park, but ive got a couple of ideas for a cruise route, all of which are heading north so a northernish meet point would better suit

[Sammy B]

I will be there regardless...

[13bwankel]

the longer this takes to organise the better my chances are of having a car ready for this :)

[[ANG_RE]]

octoberish sounds fairly achievable for me if i can sort out all the bugs by then, and get my diff sorted out. Ive only been in 2 of the SAR cruises in my own cars so im hanging to get out there again :)

Can we CONFIRM that SAPOL will be informed about the cruise?

[serious14_guy]

i'd be up for it, but i'd much prefer to meet at etsa park, maybe go for a strath run?

parafield is a bit of a hike just to get up there for us southerners.

[FLEX]

Ok i still need help with deciding a suitable date

Other details:

TIME: 1030, 1130 departure
MEET: Ingle Farm Shopping Centre

[vortex]

How does Sunday 8th of November sound. Plenty of time for people to prepare.

[Hyperdrive3d]

looks like i will be delaying my re-spray if this goes ahead, yay:popcorn:

[FC3S]

my power house 626 is allways up for a run with the rota's
but my fc could b a rush permit job if this go's ahead

Depends on money and regency, i may have the FC there

lookin like i mite have to pull my finger out and get my fc crankin again

[volvosdead]

To be honest as good an idea as insurance is, I doubt it would be affordable....
Thats why so many car events arent held any more, Insurance can be a killer...
Everything Car related has gone thru the roof....
When I booked Campbelltown oval the first time I ran the SMASA Show n Shine there years ago I think I payed $120 for the oval for 2 days... within 2 years it was $2000. The council was raking in thousands in parking fines as well. I cant complain, we cleared $38 000 profit on the show....

Should catch up again for another fangin session ay?

Hi Tally,

Very good, I quite like it actually, I have a few suggestion, pls check your email.

Cheers,

Ket

[Tally]

no worries, will do that tonight... thanks man!

[capella re]

i love it, i'm sure ian does too, i think thats his rx2 coupe?? love that car. its now the background on my work computer. Get that printed and start plastering them everywhere. I can plaster in the east and the south, if you need someone to deliver them, pm me and il give you my address to post them to or pick em up from you. i think ryan needs his ke20 on there too but!!! he deserves it.

[FLEX]

I love it!

Get permission asap so i can start printing them and getting them out there. Anybody else who wishes to get posters out there please do. We need good coverage so its another big turnout as per every year.

I dont mind not having my car on there, it is a sleeper after all ; )

Cheers

[Rota_boy]

Looks good

Should use the real SA Rotors logo (ie same as the site) other than that looks great :)

[capella re]

hey ian, did i read your signature right, have you sold your rx2 coupe??? what the??? mate of yours buy it? i didnt even see it advertised, lucky you, sure not alot selling at the moment. what are you going to drive on the cruise??

[Tally]

Looks good

Should use the real SA Rotors logo (ie same as the site) other than that looks great :)

yep im on it, just recieved it from the stig...

and yea ryans KE20 should be on there hahah ill see what i can do...

should we call it birthday cruise or what guys? anniversary cruise???

ive sent an email to james ar rotarygrunt.com so hopefully he gets back to me soon???

who knows a good cheap printing joint? think we should print about 30 - 40 A3 posters?

[vortex]

ive sent an email to james ar rotarygrunt.com so hopefully he gets back to me soon???

Already replied mate :) Use what you need, it's my site :)

[Tally]

Already replied mate :) Use what you need, it's my site :)
HAHA i had a feeling you were on here lol, sorry about that.

So its all good guys, good to go!!! Ill make changes tonight.

Yea id need high res ones man, I think I took them from the 2007 Christmas cruise on your site...

[capella re]

ive just emailed a mate of mine who runs his own graphic design company to see if he can help out or point me in the direction of a colleague to print these for you. il pm you as soon as i hear back. but if anyone else knows anyone still contact them incase my mate can't help out.

http://www.creativefeed.com.au/ shameless plug for my mates business so if you need any graphic design work done hit him up, great guy to deal with. heres his reply!!!!!

Hey Simon,


Yeah, you've come to the right place.

If you send me the final artwork I can organise it for you and get a quote:


For 40 x A3 posters
Full colour
One sided
(do you need them laminated or anything?)

Cheers,
Graham West

[FLEX]

I thought we could just get a final design sorted them people could just print them themselves and hand them out when they see fit.

Edit: id prefer my car wasnt on the poster pls

[Tally]

ok no probs save me work lol...

yea Ryan we could do that to maybe that would be a more viable option.

But I still feel some some professional printed posters would be good, maybe we could print say 10 profesional ones and like just hand out shitload of home printed ones...

working on it now, re-did the logo and it looks mad!!!

just need to know what to call the cruise????? and if anyone else could contribute to information that needs to be on the poster, maybe someone to contact???

[Tally]

[RotaS4]

Strictly is spelt wrong. You also need to reword that last part, it sounds like hoon behavior and excessive revving is allowed on the day

[rxgirl]

We/Scott are happy to have the RX3 on the poster.
It probably wont be there on the day however but will see what we can do, think the motor in it my be gone. I think the motor blowing is like a virus at our place.

[Tally]

Was just thinking about that, that I should ask permission from he owners of the cars, I guess its all good then!

RotaS4 have made the changes, thanx for that!

here it is again so its on this page:

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7051/sarotorsposterfinal.jpg

^^^looks great!

Ill say thats the final design. Ill post it up on the first page/post

Good stuff! Looks good!

[capella re]

???
so i tell my mate not to worry about printing them or what???? i sent you a pm tally. final result looks excellent though

[gotorx7]

Yeah, nice job..

I used to have access to a colour laser at work, but no more :(

Does anyone else have access to one?

[Tally]

yep I reckon that's the final aswell!

simon, sending you an email, probably get 10-20 posters printed, then the rest we can just print out at home... because got a feeling may get a bit expensive...

sending you an email now with a link to the file to so you can send it to your mate.

Have to get these printed and sent out asap as we got just over a month!

[FLEX]

Thanks Sanjay!

[Tally]

Also just like to add that I have since bought a Nikon D60 DSLR Camera so I may aswell put it to use for this cruise.

Previously we have had Micheal Capolla in the red MX5 tag along with us and take the photos, aswell as james at rotarygrunt...

[Rota_boy]

hey ian, did i read your signature right, have you sold your rx2 coupe??? what the??? mate of yours buy it? i didnt even see it advertised, lucky you, sure not alot selling at the moment. what are you going to drive on the cruise??

Yeah sold it a couple of weeks ago, wasnt really advertised anywhere :)

I will be in my gfs FC and eventually ill get my s3 running :)

[Rota_boy]

Any chance we can move the date back a week ?? We will be in QLD:(

[Tally]

I dunno man, ill leave that up to Ryan but I have sent about 250 PMs on Ausrotor with the date as the 8th...
Might confuse people???

[capella re]

hey tally, quotes come in, sent you an email
simon

[Madaz13b]

Heya guys, ill have my FC in during that week to get a new kit on her, but i should be already for the cruise. So put me down for it. :)

[Fat 4 RE]

Any chance we can move the date back a week ?? We will be in QLD:(

I was thinking forward a week as i will be in Hawaii and getting back on the 9th

but o-well just means the car sits in the shad a bit longer

[serious14_guy]

i should be there either in my car if i still have it, or my mate's s6

[Kendo]

sik i just got new treads :D

[FLEX]

sorry, i asked for input from people with regards to the finer details on several occasions without much response. The date has been set and its not changing

[vortex]

I guess no date will ever suit everyone all the time. Flex asked for date suggestions - I made one suggestion and there was no arguments, so it stuck.

I'll try to take a bunch of pics anyway, but it's nothing like being there really :)

[FC3S]

permit for my fc :) think its goin to b fun to get the old girl out

[Tally]

over the weekend spent some time with the boyz and surprise they all have already seen the poster of the SA rotors cruise hahah

Cousin is hopefully going to bring his 13BT RX4 RX400 to the cruise...
And uncle is still deciding which of his 100 cars to bring...
Cousin is bringing his Mazda 1300 and other cousin is bringing his S5 RX7 and other cousin is bringing his S3 12AT RX7 hahah

PMs are working on ausrotary, my outbox still has 165 messages in it though haha so should be killa!

should be an awesome turnout this year!!!

also cousin suggest to get a couple of stickers made up so i will talk to a family friend who does all the drift car decals so who ever wants one let me know...

will be a window sticker which says "SA Rotors Birthday Cruise 8th November 2009" no fancy text and just plain white....

[ScottsRx]

I wouldn't mind coming along if no one has any objections. My car isn't running a rotor but its still a Mazda

I think you should ask the admins of the forum before getting stickers made up. they'll probably say yes but if they say no you could be left with a few hundred stickers and nothing to do with them

[capella re]

posters are all finished, just need to be stuck up now and scotty aint no one going to turn down a mint 808, anyone looks at you funny make the noise of a rotor with your mouth buddy!!!!

[Kusanagi]

Hey that's the thought! an easy way out for me :D I'll just leave one of my sneaker on the driveway as hint that I'm kidnapped.

Yeah I'll do my very best alright... I can't resist to see so many rotas in one spot, consider I have never been to any sarotors cruises too.

Cheers,

Ket

[mUnky-matt]

It will be worth getting that time off work if at all possible, just for the hours of the cruise

looking forward to it : D

[Tally]

Received the posters from Simon yesterday, cant thank him enough.

Will be going out tomorrow to put em up...

anyone suggest a few places???

SAPOL headquarter... kidding, may be rotary tuning places like REVS and Mildren to start with?

[FLEX]

unfortunately the date/time wont suit everybody but that will always be the case, I hope most of you can make it. At this stage the date might not even suit me because the car might not be done :( fingers crossed it is though

As for the posters, i think the good ones should be put up at all the major workshops

MRE
REVS
INJECTMAZ
BOOSTWORX

If we could get them up at major auto parts stores to that would be great

[RotaS4]

I think you should post one at the following address:

2a Sudholz Road
Holden Hill

:D :D

and gee tally, thanks, your making me blush here

[13bwankel]

If you get one to me I'll put one up at work..

[rb25dt]

I can drop one off for you on the way home from Work. (haha)
My wife and I will be interested in attending the cruise will bring her RX7

[rxgirl]

Well its very doubtful the S5 will be running for this so we will have to find another way to attend.
Havent missed a Sa rota cruise yet and i dont intend to.

[Tally]

Just got home from doing 1st round of posters...

Put em up at the following:

BOOST WORX
REVS
ASE
JESTER AUTOMOTIVE
BUDDYPARTS
Super Cheap Auto Para Hills West
AUTOBARN Mile End
OUTLAW SPEED SHOP Enfield

everyone was hell keen on the cruise and didnt mind having the poster in their shop...

spotted a shit load of rotaz aswell today hahaha, what cruise? LOL

will be printing out a few A4 copy's at home to keep in the car... would be good if others did aswell...

Tomorrow will be doing Exhaust Technology Kings Park, MRE and few others... anyone recommend anywhere else?

[Kusanagi]

Tally, what can I say... really appreciated with all your efforts!! :D

[Tally]

just got back from the places mentioned...

The guys at exhaust technology were the best. really friendly and ive heard alot of good stuff about them. They do rotors regularly so its good.

She was like, this deserves the front window hahaha

Turbo Tune bloke was friendly aswell.

now its a waiting game... bring on the cruise!!!

[mUnky-matt]

If anybody needs a ride to/from/during the birthday cruise, I can probably lend a seat or two in my sil80... not a rotary, but still a way of seeing the cruise in action : D

I have lent my seat to SAR people before - will be driving with my friend's series 8 rx7, fyi.

[Hyperdrive3d]

Instant windscreens @ edwardstown would be willing to put up brochures if ya want coz the manager has a rx3 and i can try to get one put up at the prospect branch.

[poppy 777]

I will be their in my 72 rx2 sedan for sure

Personally I would say no, I would prefer if the whole group didn't tag along. It's an SA Rotors cruise, in the past they have been very well supported and I expect this one will be no different.

I'm going along to cruise with Mazdas and other Rotaries, not skylines. There are heaps of other Datsun cruises out there you can tag along with aren't there?

In the past we have always said the more the merier, just as long as they obey the law and no stupid business.
Past cruises we have had everything from the rotas to r34's.
Altho we do encourage more Rotas as it is a rota cruise, other makes are welcome.

Oh I understand that, but not sure them organising a whole cruise to join us is such a good idea :)

[Tally]

yea in the PMs I sent out on Ausrotary I mentioned that the cruise was for Mazda & Rotary powered cars but also other old-school Japanese makes are welcome...

As for rotors turning up, I think this cruise will have a good turn out...
One of my mates has is 808 in my uncles shed getting panel beated...
Its 80% complete and he is gunning to get it painted and engine in for the cruise haha...

Also Im thinking of doing another poster run this week...

Looking to go down south south as basically 3/4 of all SA's rotors are down south :P

Anyone recommend more places down there?

[OwnageFd]

I agree with Vortex, I would much rather cruise with rotars; from both a recognition point of view (the public), and if we let Nissans tag along the police are more likely to start defecting people (Imo).

However, I wouldnt see any harm in them meeting up at the same starting point as us, the more the merrier in that aspect =)

As well as sharing an appreciation for Rotars, we can say that we also share an appreciation for Japanese sports cars in general =D In other words, I'd be worried if we let commodorres be associated with us, haha.

[redrx]

Wicked! This will be the first cruise for me in my recently purchased FD. What a way to start!

[Kusanagi]

Excellent! Looks like there's no shortage of FD this time.

i think thats alittle unfair mate,ive owned plenty of rotars in the past,and to tell you the truth ive been defected more in my mazda's than any nissan ive owned

As well as sharing an appreciation for Rotars, we can say that we also share an appreciation for Japanese sports cars in general =D In other words, I'd be worried if we let commodorres be associated with us, haha.

think the general censenus is you guys would like your own cruise,and i respect that
enjoy your cruise lads

[FLEX]

its a mazda/rotary cruise, but at the end of the day you cant stop someone using the same PUBLIC roads that we will be.

[Tally]

any updates on the cruise route?

Iv'e sent Sanjay a .jpg of the poster, hes gonna print out around 50 colour A4 ones.

Just gonna keep some in the car for when I see rotors, as ive seen so many lately but haven't been able to leave a small flyer...

ive always loved to do a video something along the lines of this:

YouTube - JCCS 2007 Official DVD

I couldnt tackle something like this on my own for the Bday cruise but would be good if I could get something together like this for a future cruise or show...

maybe leave it for AJD next year? would be killa!

I thought your best mate with the Silver FD and the funny gf wanted to borrow them? I kept forgetting his name.

They're good tyres, a little weak in the wet, but superior in the dry.

[Forcedrex7]

I'll be cleaning up a couple of our cars for the cruise!
Cyra will drive the FC and I will bring my RX7, should be loads of fun!!!

The Finest Detail would like to sponsor the cruise and will put up some prizes to be won on the day.


2 Full Vehicle Details

3 Mini Details

1 Single Stage Machine Polish

Every Driver will recieve a $20 voucher to use on any service at The Finest Detail.


So if you want to start throwing around some categories that can be won by individual cars/ owners.

Eg, best daily driven, best homebuilt, the most cash poured in, or whatever there may be then that'd be great :)

omg whats the deal with everyone pulling out at the last minute... always happens... arghh

no love man no love... jks guys its coolz...

at least try and get down to the meet, and please remind your mates its this Sunday!!!

cant believe some people think its not happening lol... maybe we gave to much notice??

[vintage]

haha nur should be there just gonna be tierd as

[yelloS2Rx7]

well I'll be In Gus's freshly painted midnight blue [PELLA]
Im lowering it sat arvo just for the cruz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[serious14_guy]

probably want to start posting this on some other forums.
guess i should drag the FC out there

[capella re]

well i'll definately be there. finished up work on the 2 on the weekend, charged up the video camera and got batteries for the digital camera so ready to go. I wouldn't worry about turn out numbers, i think word of mouth will play the biggest part not forum members. Going to be 33degrees so il be excellent day for overheating and breaking down :). As big kev would of said "i'm excited"

[Tally]

Killa guys thats great to hear cant wait.

Anyone recommend any forums? I had already posted it on rollaclub.com and ae86drivingclub.com

Anyone else posted it on any forums?

Good idea is to post it on facebook aswell if you have it, with a link to the first page of the birthday thread. The poster automatically comes up on facebook.

we will get a better idea of how hot the weather will be closer to Sunday but 33deg sounds killa me thinks.. 30 would be ideal so yea

[[ANG_RE]]

well im going to miss out, waiting for an axle from the states so theres atleast 3 weeks. But i will come down in the commie to the meet point and catch up with some of you i havent seen in a long time

If I were to advertise this cruise on Nissansilvia.com, would that have the blessing of the SAR guys?

I don't mind either way - up to the majority

Sigh.. They have their own cruises. Let us have ours.

It's been said before, the odd Nissan can rock up and we can't stop them, but I don't think it's ideal to get a whole pile of wankers in skylines to tag along. Seriously.

yea not keen on having to many drift kings tag along but I wouldn't mind a couple GTRs turn up like last time.

I'm looking forward to next year.. can't believe I can have three rx7's and not get to a cruise cos none are able to be driven.. grrr...

[mUnky-matt]

no problems, guess NS will miss the heads up... don't judge it too harshly though, lots of really good people, very few idiots - depends how you advertise as to which crowd you'd attract.

and I drive a sil80 (s13 on 180) :P
