D'oh! Why are cruises always on Sundays?! :( Missed out on the northern beaches cruise last month and I'll have to give this one a miss....

I would love to be there but can't make it as I'll be helping out at church for the whole day...

Oh well, you all have fun tomorrow! :beer

TOMORROWS THE DAY

I know it may shower which isn't good , especially as i now run stand offs but what the hell !

It would be so good to see as many people together for a cruise in. If your cars off the road bum a lift from a mate and get there , aircooled , watercooled whatever.

If we get some decent numbers attending an offer of free coffee for all has been passed on to me! How good's that , nice folk! So come on get your cars out and show up. It's free and will be the biz! First Sydney unoffical cruise in , lets make this something!

Last plug of me but this is how i've been looking at this cruise.

We all want to drive our cars

We all want to meet up with other VW's

We're all skint from spending too much money on our cars

Everyone's after a cheap thrill

If Cen Park gets going we're laughing. A regular place to meet and cruise in Sydney. Just turn up and expect to see alot more dubs bombing around than you normally would. If it works in So Cal i'm sure we can make it work in Oz!!

Firstly thanks to everyone for turning up. 7 cars is a good start , especially as the weather was looking rather moody. Positive thinking kept the rain away !!! Thanks to Wayne and his wife for the coffee and the rangers for being pretty cool with us being there , no worries for next time and so much room is great!.

Well i said if we had 5 or more it would be classed as a goer , so , it's a goer and we will arrange more for the future.

After alot of caffine and chats an outline has been agreed for the next steps.

To keep this as open as possible to all in Sydney we will have 3 venues to cruise to. One in North shore which has already proved itself , Cen Park in the East and another out West. Meaning no more than an hours drive for most folk. Each month their would be a cruise at one of the venues and would basically rotate from venue to venue each month. Also the day would change each time to try and meet everyone's needs.

This is where i need some help. This is an informal cruise in , clubs are more than welcome to attend but these cruises will stay informal and not club run. Everyone's feedback today has backed that up , just people off the aussieveedubbers forum etc all mucking in and making it something . However there is a little organisation required obviously and as this IS GOING TO WORK promotion is required.

The plan is once we have some dates drawn up each venue needs someone to promote it. I'm happy to help with the Eastern venue . The folk that organised the last North shore could look after that which just leaves the West TBA.

These cruises are needed and as today shows it's great to meet up for a few hours , have a chat , check stuff out and put faces to names.

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for all that turned up. Speedster loved the cruiser and thanks for the "WARNING" protected by a guy with a knife" aussieveedubbers.com window mounts! Well good! Also getting some snaps and posting them so quick.

I will keep you all in the loop with whats going on , future cruises etc . The next will be even better so watch this space

Well done!
Getting seven cars together is a great result for a 1st cruise, certainly enough to organise others.

For a venue out West, there's a v. nice Japanese garden we used to visit out to the west, can't recall the name, lots of parking.. someone in Sydney will know it.
