GET THE BUGS OUT. Perth Super Cruise

WA Volksrodder · 2005-12-28T16:28:56+00:00

. New thread, sorry for the hijack MarkMark.. (For those that don't know) We are planning a Super Cruise in Perth for VW's... At this stage a date of Saturday March 11th is being looked at.. (early days, if this date clashes, please advise). Suggested route is meet at Fast Eddy's Carousel shopping centre, heading down to Freo, park and chat for a while, maybe at Capt'n Munchies, then cruise up to Perth, go through the city and Northbridge, regroup at Barrack Street Jetty, then head up to Scarbrough for a drive through the area and continue on up the coast to Hillaries for a park and chat and then go our seperate ways from there... Please express your interest here, or objection should that date clash.. Being a few months ahead should ensure a good turn out of cars, the weather will still be nice around then and anyone with projects on the go, will hopefully have a chance to get them finished in time... as I said, early days so let's hear what you have to say... Thanks all.. Danny... p.s.. it here coz no one reads the coming events section... 😉

Bummer - the Regularity racing is on at Barbagallo and also Nitro Funny Cars that night so will probably have to work.

That sucks 🙁

I've got some colour prints for you Danny.

I didn't realise it's illegal to put flyers under people's wipers. I won't be doing that now.

thought day time 11th was better actually, more chance for public to see the cars, some cars could promote the the whiteman park show the folowing week, the organisers of whiteman show might even provide some funding to promote their gig if they were approached.

if it is to be for splitties only though, just say so from the get go

i think they mean that it would be good to have some splitties included, not solely splitties only.....bring anything vw or aircooled i don't think dan would have a problem with it. But yeah agree perhaps a daytime cruise for the next one - don't leave it too late though danny we want the girlies to still be wearing bikinis as they are joggin along west coast drive....ok, now i'm off on my own little 'baywatch' tangant :P

Do whatever...
MarkMark has printed the flyers so this one stays as is... If you can't make, well that's a shame...
This was organised as a car cruise, not a cross promotion for someone elses event, it is not in conjuntion with, connected to, or associated with any club or company...
If anyone wants to organise another run that will promote other people, shows, cruises or companies whilst still giving the participants the opportunity to perve on women in swimsuits, be my guest..
But that's Not what I organised...
Thanks...

look back over the post. no one objected to the 11th, then suddenly the date was changed for no reason i can see, other than some hot headed reaction to a comment that the following weekend was another event, which could just as easily been interpreted as "sounds great!!!"

check a previous comment previously also along the lines , it will be great to see lots of splitties in convoy.

from experience, no one gives a rats about anything other than the splitties, so why bother

kombi69. i didnt once read that it was only open to splittys.

considering the title of this thread is...get the BUGS out...im sure thats a play on words.

anywya..you should still go kombi69 as it would be good to see all diff vdubs cruising together.

anyone got a ride i can come in for this cruise as my car is far from completion?

.

Kombi69, There was ample time for people to object, Richard pointed out that the Whiteman Park thing was on and that had some bearing on it..
Several members are working on cars and by having the event a couple of weeks later, these others may have a better chance of attending...
Also this event has been promoted on Other Forums and the ultimate time frame descision was not left up to anyone on THIS site, but I will admit to being biased in allowing the concerns of members HERE to have a greater bearing on the final date, as opposed to persons from other sites...
Several member here will confirm that for you...

Isn't it funny how some people only see what they WANT to see...

Look at THIS:....

Now lets just read the bits you didn't WANT to see...

There's the Magic word.... "INCLUDED"....!!!!!

Now for the poster....

See the second line and the Last Line... Nothing in there about being open to JUST split screen kombi's...
I don't own a splitty, Moose Doesn't, 71superbug doesn't, MarkMark doesn't, Richard doesn't and MissVDub doesn't and they are all members from here that are keen to go along, so don't think this is a Splitty cruise...
What if I'd said it would be nice to see a line of Kubelwagens with all the occupants dressed in Nazi Uniforms..??? Then you'd accuse me of some other horrendous atrocities....😉

Dude, the long and the short of it is, No one in Perth seems to bother organising cruises for VW's...
I just found out WHY that is...!!!!!
Every other brand of car has a cruise and lots of people go along and have a great time... Even Hyundia Excels..!!!

I'm sorry if this date does not fit in with your calender of events but you and everyone else were given ample time to object... There's no point leaving it till after Mark has spent money out of his own pocket to print up flyers advertising the whole thing, on a date that (at the time) everyone agreed on and as the date for the event draws closer and closer, it would be unfair to those that might be trying to get cars finished, to move it forward by 2 weeks...

Now, I don't want to get into a whole argument scene with you about this, as, at the end of the day, it's Just a freakin' drive around, there are no prizes, no trophies, nothing to gain except a bit of fun and a laugh...

So, I am sorry if you can't make it, I hope you have no hard feelings over this and trust you can move on and perhaps have your say in another, similar event in the future...

Thanks for your input....

"Dude, the long and the short of it is, No one in Perth seems to bother organising cruises for VW's...

and i found out WHY nobody bothers attending. it is all too incestuous and masturbatory, one big circle jerk, too many posers, better things to do than listen to someone gloating about how their only 23 window in the state has just been in another commercial or ferried around some washed up band, big FFFFing deal.

would rather see some cars and owners that don't normally attend like rustbuckets, grannies, hippies, backpackers. as it is newbies are seen as an opportunity to be ripped off by people for parts on the cheap which are then on sold on ebay and this forum at ridiculous markup.

if these events attracted and WELCOMED anyone with a VW maybe the turnout would be better.

you sure you're talking about the right town/state/country? I haven't met anyone like that. I'm only new to the whole scene but have hung out with plenty of folk in the clubs as well as industry types and just dudes with dubs - I haven't come across a single wanker yet. In fact I reckon the local scene is the most relaxed one I've experienced. you've obviously had some bad experiences and that's a shame.

kombi69....get real.

how did you manage to put your personal vendettas into a cruise organised by danny that doesnt even drive a splitty?

he drives a BAJA...and incase you forgot..thats based on a BEETLE.

as previously mentioned the members on this forum that have shown interest in tending dont own splittys.

im sure we would like as many vdubs to go, however if you are going to attend and have a negative attitude towards everyone as you seem to now then i personally would not enjoy your company.

THIS IS NOT A SPLITTY ONLY CRUISE AND IM SURE NO-ONE WILL BE SLANDERING/RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING AROUND THE CITY.

it is made for people to have a good time. however if people act in such a way that you have there will most likely cease to be any further organisation of cruises in the future therefore ruining it for the rest of us.

please dont be selfish and just show up with a smile on ya dial.

No worries Danny, I'll drop them off to Moose as soon as I can. I printed off about 30, that should be enough. If you need more, we can just do some normal photocopies.

Maybe I'll finally be even after the tow you gave me..................lol
