Hey Guys, Sorry for delay but has been painfully busy with my return to work .. sucks bad .. If everyone is happy with the 6th Aug, we'll plan for that .. Meet at Hillarys Boat Harbour about 6pm, travel down coastal road through Scarborough, head over through the tunnel, up towards the Zig Zags, cut across to Canning Mills Rd for some twisty roads, down to Armadale Rd to Gatesway Shopping Centre and branch off from there for more or head off home .. will be approx 3 hrs or more and maybe 150ks plus .. what do you think??

So it will start at 6 pm and go for approx 3 hrs? lol so I'm gonna get back to Bunbury around 11? probably closer to midnight? looks like i might be pulling an all nighter....
Zig Zags at night is mad. I remember from the last cruise. Only i hope it doesnt rain this time!

Ok, this is basically the map. Includes coastal road, tunnel, zig zags and some twisty roads. A little less ks than I thought but about the same timeframe. We will stop at various points to eat, drink, talk etc..

Hey Guys, I was thinking of taking a slight detour via Vic Park shops .. this area sounds good with the exhaust tones bouncing off the shop fronts .. let's annoy the diners .. we will then head along Welshpool Rd etc. to the Zig Zags .. what you think ??

Hey guys sorry to be bearer of bad news however after rising Sunday the WA police seem to be going on all out blitz of any "car club" activity. The past week has been really hectic from them...
They're being absolutely ridiculous. My friend got one saturday morning 8am on way to work in his Y31 Cima for not having mudflaps ....
Please be careful.. Id hate to see these pieces of work catch wind of the cruise and make an example out of you guys the way they did my festival :-(
Peter it may be an idea to remove your map from your post.. Polce are also strongly monitoring car club websites looking for cruises.
I'm not joking btw. Even earlier today I think a cop tried adding me on Facebook. A guy called "Rob" added me on Facebook without saying who he was. I asked him why he added me and he just asked, "hey I'm looking for any info on ROE or antilag cruises that I can join"
I thought that was sus. Had a look on his wall and it was full of people asking "who he was" and "do I know you" and his answer was always the same between May and July.
Which was really sus. Then I stalked his pics. All of his pics were just "art" like generic paintings and MS clipart stuff. No pictures of his face.
Needless to say, I deleted him quick smart ...
The police are getting bored and are looking for a new group of minorities to pick on..make fun of this if you will. But yeah. Please be careful guys :-)

Case #2:
One of the attendees of rising Sunday who was pulled over by police but was allowed to go on without a yellow sticker was pulled over on riverside drive on way home from work Friday. Was given a yellow sticker for "suspected modifications" and wen he asked why he was pulled over, he was told that his name and license plate have been flagged as "vehicle of interest" for possible hoon activity or participation in a car club meet"
He then had his whole car searched for drugs and weapons. Then was told to stand next to his car while the officers took digital photographs of him standing next to his car. (personally I think he should have refused to partake in this degrading and humiliating act, but he's young and doesn't know his rights)
These are the tactics these guys are using against us. They're victimizing car clubs and setting us up to criminalize us to (you watch) make organisation of car clubs illegal. They're laying the ground work and running the news reports and articles to get the public on side for it Right now.. I'm personally fighting for our rights on the streets this very moment. It's discrimination and depravation of freedom. Sorry to rant, Peter!! I'm just letting you know... This is what's been going down these last 2 weeks.

Rowan you make a VERY good point mate...been following your posts on your FB site about the rising sunday incidents...police are targeting us import car enthusiasts atm :/ Peter you might wanna take your map off and just pm people the meet point on the day before from now on cause since the rising sunday jdm festival that Rowan and his mates organised a couple weekends ago, which was a great success i might add, some people were stickered and targeted unfairly for mods to their cars. Channel 9 news didnt help either with there bullshit on a 'hoon blitz' story that day too, especially when everyone that attended the meeting was well behaved! Go Figure!

i urge you guys to still cruise. because this is what we do. we get together have lunch and go for a drive...
if we stop doing it then they've won. however police have people that they "look after" to report and convey information like car club meets and such. posting maps for public access in these times is a risky idea, because all it takes is for one desperate schmuck to report it to his superior in the hope he'll get an extra biscuit and that can ruin your day..
not to mention PerthNow and Sunday Times losers who ran a report posting a grainy image that is NOT time stamped (could have been from any day / time) and shows no clue as to what car it was and questions whether the "hoon" was going to Rising Sunday.
phags.
the sickening this is that the media then accuses the driver of doing 130kmh thru the tunnel.. how can they assume this without a speed camera?
furthermore. it's just some kids hanging out of what looks to be a sunroof. who cares? it's not that big of a deal.
i drive around like that all the time never phased me!
