Hey everyone, I am hoping to organise state wide cruises for charity, maybe twice a year.
Get the public\media involved.
This gives us a chance to all come together and do something for a cause, and have some fun ie. show off the cars.
We all love to cruise and discuss our beloved Soarers.
Charities that we all can decide on and approach.
Getting everyone involved in this decision.
So any ideas?
I am hoping to hear back from one charity on depression and try and organise one in the up and coming months.
Cheers

Sounds like it could be a good idea. It would also be a good opportunity to get across to the general public that not everybody who drives an imported or high-powered car is a hoon/nobjockey. It would just be VERY important that nobody did any tossbag antics, as that would destroy any community goodwill the event would engender.

You would need to make it a grand event; so have it open to Luxury car clubs or something.

20 Soarers wouldnt be enough really..

Perhaps something similar to what the variety club do would work? North to South along the eastern coast or something? Prizes for things like last one to arrive at a check point or something.

Yeah.. no tossbag antics, just Travis in the background saying "someone do a burnout" hehehe :-)

A charity cruise is a great idea and as for which ones, well, my dad died of heart disease and my mums had cancer twice so anything of those 2 sorts would mean a lot to me but of course would like to hear anyone elses.

Personally I dont think car numbers really matters Callum, If theres money raised no matter how small the amount is you know its going to a good cause and if we have fun in the process then everyones a winner.

Bring it on I say.

A cruise in every state on the same day. A nationwide event. Get all the car clubs together in each state for a public display somewhere.

If you play your cards right like we did with a street machine charity cruise (300+ cars), you'll score an escort from da 5-0 and green lights all the way!!!

The invite was put out to every car club in SA, but not RCK, and they wondered why...

For all you non SA-ians, RCK is the Ragers Commonwhore Klub, the people that inspired the 'God created Holden to keep wankers outta Fords' bumper sticker.

Doesn't that sticker imply that therefore all the wankers are in Holden's?

No wonder they got an escort :-)

The question is - Where to?

Jap power is all good, but when you have the monaro (old skool), mustang and charger clubs in attendance, even after Neil doing a toojay transplant or giving you're engine a blow job, their 1st gear speed will be faster than your 5th!

Damn bloody blown 454's :-(

The LEAST powerful car that came from the mustang club still had 312rwkw...

Seeing as I'm on the road all day with my new job, that's not to far from the truth.

My list of $hit drivers is as follows...
1; rich cnuts in luxury saloons (bmw, mercs, etc), "my car's worth more than yours, get outta the way"
2; P-Platers in commodores, usually the ones that have cut the springs, taken all their parcel shelf metal out to fit in da fooli sik 6x9z, "hey maaaaaate, wana go for a draaaaaag?"
3; Blonde chicks in a little 4 bangers that they got for their bday, "I don't care if I crash, daddy will by me a new one"

My rant for the day.
