Xmas Mega Cruise For Charity - 14 December  

HSV

Perhaps you bunch of fucking useless whinging cunts could put your own on?

Then the rest of us can pick through exactly how fucked up your mediocre sized gathering was?

Kudos to the organisers, I wasn't able to attend due to something else being on the same day, was more than happy to donate $$$ though.

So what if there were some fuckups, first event. There is always fuckups at first events, look at Summernats/Powercruise/Cruzetime etc.

Big thumbs up to all those who donated money to a worthwhile cause, to all of you Brisbane fuckwits that DIDN'T bother donating the meager amount asked for, a big fuck you to all of you useless cunts

I have always wanted to use this on the net i think its the perfect thread for it

ok and yes i am really really bored

NJL

Oh, just wanted to make sure everyone got their free copy of Mischief, I'm still single...

Cry some more Ben. Most of what is being said should be taken as constructive criticism and i only hope they learn from it. There were mistakes made by organisers and as such they will no doubt hear about it. If you would have attended you too would have been 1 of the people leveling criticism as you tend to complain about anything that goes wrong and you know it, because face it if nothing gets said how can they improve?

200sx

Where do you get a copy from i wouldnt mind at have a look

skyline_chick88

couldnt agree more!!

whoever pulled the fence post out of the touch football grounds, also help the cheap people to get in free

summoner

there were some nice promo girls around at the show grounds from as soon as people turned up walking around handing them out.

200sx

I wasnt able to go to the cruise i had to work

And i was sitting beside your car the other night sounds hot you didnt see me but we wanted to race you lol you didnt seem keen plus we were in a red accord LOL

summoner

haha what night? thursday night cooler hose kept popping off and saturday night had the gf in the car and she gets scared just by loud cars/any sort of acceleration

51KWRX

woah

woke up on the wrong side of the bed?

there are the whingers in here but most of what is being said should be taken on board by the organisers to ensure it is bigger and better next yet

and wtf its boost there will always be complaints!

NJL

At the end of the day, I believe people are just tring to impart some constructive criticism - emphasis being on constructive.

I for one would go again next year, and I'm sure a majority of the 800 people would as well knowing there is an effort for improvement to be made.

To simplify - look at the highlighted issues:

1. Organisation/Management of the cruise should have been at the venue at 11am to set up marque's, dj's, food and drink
2. Basic amenities and commodities should have been in number, water, softdrink, food and toilet facilities - whether they needed to be hired or not.
3. If you were on the poster as being an organiser - you should have been organising, not standing around trying to be funny or too cool infront of your mates.
4. The management of the entrances need to be improved - especially on hot days with a variety of age's in cars (not all have the most efficient cooling). This is perhaps even where our friends the Police Service can be utilised to assist in effective traffic management.

thursday night leaving the calmvale would have been about 9:30 ish we just left after having dinner

S15_Matt

was that the arrogant little pooncie looking guy in a black and pink t shirt? man that little bitch had a chip on his shoulder. same thing happened to us.

HUN51

you have no idea jay. all you do is winge, if you read the flyer it was with logos saying the clubs in southeast queensland, hey free plug for you but next time you can shove it fair up your clacker.
so your contribution was bringing some cars, well woopti fukin doo, so did 700 other people. do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on.

how about next time you do it all yourself and then we can pick on you.

the meeting points were 11am at both and scedualed time of leaving each meet was 11:45. cant help it if people didnt want to wait at the spot for everyone to arrive before they left as one group.

'JayRad

Oh and sticky i saw that magazine thingo with my photo on the cover! fuck yeah!

but no photo credits :'( but oh well, it was cool seeing it

on_boost_24_7

im sorry NJL but id rather my car overheat then have police help with parking etc........ that would be like taking a pedophile to a wiggles concert to provide 'adult supervision' they wouldnt be able to help themselves

HUN51

oh by they way, how did drift state go?

Faye

LOL !!!

NJL

Hahaha I understand your point (and a very imaginative one!) but at the end of the day - they do similar functions for Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, so why not for Flirting with the Transport Act car clubs

200sx

Wouldnt have a clue i was at work

And Jayred they never said anything about cover or nothing from what i have been told its good but dont know havent seen or heard anything

NJL

LOL !!! back.

HSV

Actually no.

All I am seeing is people whinging like a bunch of cut cats about how hot it was, lack of shade, lack of drinks etc.

What the fucks wrong with getting off your own asses and bringing a hat or sunscreen to the event? Or is it not cool to be seen wearing protection from the sun now? Hell, I would of packed the cheap ass marque I have into the boot to put up, 30 secs later I have shades and a seat, not all that hard

I'm not saying the constructive criticism is the whinging, I'm saying the plain out and out whinging is a bullshit mark on what seemed to of been a decent event. You know as well as I do half these fuckwits would still be whinging if everything was perfect.

Can you PM me those details so I can sort that shit out too?



I dont wake up on the wrong side of the bed, Im always this way. Sorry my bluntness disturbs half the fairies that frequent the site, but no other cunt is going to tell them the truth without sugar coating it, so why not me?

Seems half of you went on the cruise not to support the charity, but for the sake that it was a large cruise and only that. Cruise was for a good cause no matter how pear shaped you thought it went, like I said, I dont see anyone else bothering to put their hands up for the task of organising anything near this size????

'JayRad

eh, it was at QR, hot and boring

Madballs

this guy has hit it on the nail.....

HSV should stop having a cry cry cry.....

good luck to this next year if it goes ahead

Alright day out,

Bit dissapointed in the organising tho.. (As others have mentioned)

Wasn't given a Map at the meetspot,
No one there seemed to be in charge at all, (maybe next time have someone there standing at the driveway handing out maps and giving everyone a heads up on leaving times etc)

The so called "Cruise" ended up being us and a couple of others wondering where the hell we were going..

Dont look at this as Winging, Look at it as feedback..

You knew there was going to be a huge number of cars, And it wasn't exactly an early meet time, So a bit of early preparation (Drinks, Unlock Toilets, Set up for collections etc) And Communication would of made things flow a little smoother..

Great turnout tho! There was some awesome cars out!!

NJL

On that precise note, that is a great idea.

Hunzi if you want a hand organising - mid next year call for volunteeers!!!

Break the management up - have some people working on venue, others on food & drink, others in promotions, etc.

summoner

I did wear sunscreen and still got burnt lol

I think it was the above complaints of no shade/food/drink/etc that turned it from a decent event into a "could have been"

Of course plenty would still complain no matter how perfect it is but a lot of others genuinely wanted it to be awesome and the few things stopped it being seen as such.

pm sent with details too

constructive critisism will always be appreciated but i fail to see alot of contructiveness....

1. post your thoughts and how it can be improved for the next one.
and do it once.

don't go repeating what your issues with on every page of the thread.

loz-hardtuned.net

Thank you everyone who helped make the day what it was - overall we couldn't have hoped for better weather or turnout!!

We counted around 620 cars parked at one time on the oval, with around 900 cars / 1700 people attending over the whole day.

I admit there were issues with the organisation :
DJ, BBQ and toilets were all spose to be open from 12, with the event starting at 1, and the cafe providing the drinks WAY under-stocking their fridges (i told them 700-1000 cans to start with, and they only had 300 cans, which i had to personally drive down to woolies to re-stock)

moving of from that, congratulations to all the trophy winners, and a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone that donated- Overall it was an awesome sight to have that many, and that much variety of cars filling the area! Definately alot of hot cars i have never seen before!

a big thanks to all the sponsors, and volunteers that helped out on the day! great to see that 98% of drivers were well behaved, and it was great to meet alot of new people up here!

Total funds for the day have not been tallied yet, but it looks like a decent amount and we will ensure all of it gets to the charity. I been organizing large charity cruises for over 6 years now, and although this is my first large one up here and it had it's teething problems, it definately wont be the last, and i can guarantee the next one will be bigger and better!

..

Extra special thank you's on the day to to:

Hunzi and znz : without you helping me this day wouldn't have happened. thank you for the support and slaving over the BBQ!

Keish, Matty, Ron, & the rest of UNC : for your help with managing and directing traffic

Rep from the commodore club that helped position cars direct traffic that got there at 12.

Special Guest DJ's for driving all that way out after a big saturday night working.

The champ with the Maloo ute who helped me with getting the cans from the supermarket back to the event.




Oh, and to the hero who thought it would be smart to pop ringys on the grass:

a) Nice numberplates, your car will be impounded, end of story.

b) You may be up for re-turfing which starts at around $4,000.

yea i know...doesnt disturb me, i like it haha

thats tru tho, the bitches on here are the first ones to have a sook but would NEVER organise or help out with a cruise

Jus hope the organisers are taking all this on board no matter what form it was delivered in

And I didnt go that cruise, i went on the suby cruise



who was that?

mickeyke

funny that, i noticed a few people getting heckled around the front while we walked up to there as well..
they didnt bother us tho.. i'll definately be at the next one, everyone was pretty well behaved
.. except i want more driving next time huge turnout at the end was worth it
anyone thats whinging about the sun too... yous still not used to it?? its friggn qld, people move here from all over aus for this shit lol check your number plates too, sunshine state warning on there for albinos

NJL

It was merely a culmination of subpoints but I appreciate your perspective. People want this event to be successful, and that is a burden not only cast upon organisers but everyone who attended.
