Anthems Motorised Vehicle Cruise

Let's drive/ride .. !

There have been plenty of car cruises organised externally that anthems members have participated in .. but with sunshine and warm nights fast approaching I think we should have an anthems cruise - if all goes well I'll happily organise regular cruises too..

So first things first .. essentially any vehicle is "allowed" - so it's on for young and old, whether you're a bike, car or van owner biggrin.gif

Second, who would be interested in doing this?

Third, what is a location that everyone likes?

So for now it would be great if replies could be limited to who is interested/not interested, and possible starting locations as well as destinations.

We'll figure out times, dates, seating arrangements and so forth later on when we've got the basics worked out smile.gif

That's a pretty good show of initial hands biggrin.gif I'll harass Leon and Mettina to check this thread out too if I can remember it.

Does anyone have any preference of meeting point + destination?

Favorite cruise spots, anyone?
tini
hehehe... I'm sure my man will be more than keen to dust the lancer off...

as long as its not the 17th or 23rd September and not the 14th-15th October wink.gif

OOoooooo i lurve that car cool.gif
BOOSTING
OK as if i need to but.....* Puts hand up for cruze fun* i'm up for this for sure. My bike will be ready in the next week i recon possibly by thurs. this will be a lot of fun this summer i can feel it.
As for meet up spots well E.T.S.A stadium carpark is usually a good place close to town and out of prying eyes view so we won't get hassled by " the fuzz" cruze roads which are wicked are upper greenhill rd and back through to harndorf for maybe a drink's and chin wag spot. then we could head to strath and possibly end in to victor harbor for something to eat. Thats a wiked day cruze. Should ask i guess is this a day or a night thing i persoanlly think day would be better. biggrin.gif

Would of fit in with the rest of the Commodores out on cruise that night smile.gif

Im used to going on long cruises lasting 9pm till 4am.. so yea... we go all over the joint, up thru mount lofty, up to south gate plaza, down to west beach, out to TTP, down to St Kilda Playground... and then the last trek for those who join in is down to Lower Light, for burn outs smile.gif (if you feel like wasting rubber)

Hey.. sounds like fun! never been on one.. so you can count me in as long as the date suits!

I am good with any destination really. As long as it doesn't coincide with rally weekends..!

I just think if we do a day time one, on something like a sunday. Then we can stop somewhere for lunch and a chin wag and then finish back in town or some where. Could go to places like Murray Bridge, Victor Harbour, Berri etc.

Yeah i'm in as long as it isn't planned for when i'm in Thailand....I would love to show off my baby.

Wish i had some of the cruise maps from the AU days. some of those cruises were fkn awesome!!!

its not hard to plot out a course anyway. I have a road atlas somewhere.... finding it is one of those things tho... probably have to buy a new one lol

sounds good.. haven't taken my girl through the hill's yet! be good to see how well she handles round all those turns!

I say it's worth coming out even if you have a damn Flintstones car. We're not going to be racing .. well at least not all of us are; that's the idea behind a cruise. Come along, it'll give you a chance to meet the anthemites you've not yet met!

Jutsin
Seeing as BOOSTING has given pretty much the only detailed suggestion for now .. sometime this weekend or next weekend he and I will be doing a dry run to see how long it takes, and work out the finer details.

Results will be posted here and then we can all say yes or no biggrin.gif

There's going to be a few of them .. I'd love to make this a regular event; especially during the sunshine seasons.

As far as the very first one goes - I'm going to attempt to have it underway possibly in under a month.

That doesn't mean you can't go in someone else's car either, Brian tongue.gif

Paul and I were both busy this weekend, and the left side of my bike is missing some vital components since the stack, so we weren't able to do a dry run of the possible cruise path.

Next weekend is more than likely the time we'll do it - or even sometime late next week.

I'll keep you all posted biggrin.gif
Jutsin
Will have the rearset and footpeg for my bike tomorrow, so we'll be able to scope out the journey very soon.

Just need to know when people are available for this to happen smile.gif

Well, I'm in i spose. Just getting sick of the huge fuel consumption of my car currently. But I'm still in. Even if maybe I'm a passenger.
Also, Ill be in for driving in a few months once ive got my new engine in the camry.

Ill be waiting on dates and times to give a definite yes or no.

You have to come.. you dont have a crappy nissan anymore tongue.gif

Well i'd be in for a sunday as that seems to be the day most people are free. If everyone can post dates of when they are free like joker with his every 2nd sunday that will help justin and i try to work out a day where we can get as many people along to this as possible should be a really fun day with the weather being as good as it has been lately.

befor it gets too cold and wet and shitty

yeah i agree... i'd love to head out on a cruise... didn't go on the last one.. (wait.. did the last one even happen?)
waylander_jobby
i have no idea, i didnt go on it either
KandiRaver
lol.. well i definatly propose another cruise.. it'll be fun and definatly needs to be done before the rain really starts coming in.
waylander_jobby
yes, cruising in the rain is no fun, well down town it is biggrin.gif but not up in the hills.

yep, so if u want to come say so and say when u could come on the cruise
KandiRaver
I will go! and i'm alway's available winksmiley02.gif

I never book my weekends up.. but best not to plan it around a major event (ie; April 28th - ex ultrasonic & alex kidd)

In case anyone is waiting for this to happen: it was too difficult to organise a day/time/route that suited everyone, so it was post-poned.

Now I don't have time to organise it due to work.

If anyone else would like to pick up the reigns, feel free.
waylander_jobby
yea, i thought id get the ball rolling, dont know bout destinations/starts, a mix of city and hills cruising is always good, seems popular destinations are: bay, parts of town, lofty, windy point etc, well those are a few i know of quite well. got any others?
KandiRaver
A good idea might be to have a few big stops on the way to pick up other ppl.. instead of making them drive to the other side of the city.
BOOSTING
If this were organised soon i'd chuck some rego on the R1 and bring er out for some cruze mayhem hehe. Would have to be soon though before the rain sets in.biggrin.gif

since selling the RX-7 id be reduced to auto transport in the Liberty... or the GPX.. so im still keen to take the bike out if its on!

A good place to start would be ETSA park, near Santos Stadium. That car park is huge and usually quite empty... Lots and lots of cars will fit there no probs

Yeah thats a popular cruze meet up and its out of sight too " no cops" biggrin.gif

well if this cruze happens, can some one PLEASE sms me the details as I hardly get on here anymore.

And we would love to go on a cruz and take out the rexy.....

We have a start venue, now we just need some ideas as to which way we will be cruisin and where we can stop.
Then eventually a time and date as well.

why not drive through the hills? there are many ways to go and we could come out through like the barossa or something.

waylander_jobby
yes, definitely the hills, tongue.gif ha ha although since im already up in the hills have to cruise down to etsa park too. but that is a good starting point pretty central to everybody i guess. should have a few stop off points on the way too to let the slower ppl catch up (if we have any slow ppl tongue.gif)
NokturnL
How bout meet at TTP and go up NE road and down lobethal then to the Princess Freeway, back to the city, then along cross road, possibly go to the bay, then split? Thats a good route i think!

And stopping by lobethal, we could get some of the Awesome german bakery delights!!! Best in SA i swear!

lobethal is good, and another suggestion it should be a evening/night cruise, they are so much more fun biggrin.gif . and maybe have a few set stopping points along the way, let the slower ppl (if there is such a thing whistle.gif ) catch up and have some more socializing on the way.

hmm and maybee somebody should rig up some super powerfull ipod fm transmitter so can crank the same beats in all the cars

How bout meet at TTP and go up NE road and down lobethal then to the Princess Freeway, back to the city, then along cross road, possibly go to the bay, then split?  Thats a good route i think!

No offence but....


you need to start it from a more central locatiuon not one that just favors the people living near TTP. the city is the most central. Cruzes i have done in the past with the nissan exa club have gone from the etsa park stadium car park. Then a cruze down the bay through the bay up along anzacks up onto cross rd head up the freeway get off at the eagle on the hill exit head up the old section of free way really tight smooth road. Lots of corners there, meet up the top carpark/ look out for photo's and chit chat. Back out onto the freeway, head up to crafers and head up to the mt lofty summit carpark for a look off the look out and another chin wag
then back down old greenhill rd to the city or bay again where we can all meet at maccas or some mutually agreed upon food place. thats usually how they were roughly organised althogh thats a simple one good easy start off point. biggrin.gif



R1 has rego again now i'd take her out on a cruze like this city and hills whistle.gif biggrin.gif

i only suggested a cruise seein as not much else was being offered! Altho i love the good lobethal cruises! smile.gif

if we're heading into the eastern/outheastern hills then somewhere near greenhill avenue would be better... if we wann head northernish hills then ttp isn't that bad seeing as the cruise goes that way anyway! smile.gif

Keep suggestions flowing, and we'll come to a conclusion! biggrin.gif

that sounds like fun! i alway's love heading down to the bay! and Eagle on the Hill.. can't even remember the last time i was up there.
Aska
I think we should steer clear of TTP and surrounding areas, Holden Hill cops around the area... We might just be looking for trouble shiftyeyes_anim.gif
waylander_jobby
yes, steer clear of north and southern suburbs, too many coppers. so maybee start as boosting said, at etsa park or freedom on west terrace, head to the bay then back up to the hills up freeway up old freeway to eagle, unfortunatly there aint much of a car park there thesedays theve blocked it off because of all the burnouts done there all the time, then head up to loft car park, wait for the stragglers, then go down summit rd (damn good rd that is) to greenhill rd then maybee head up to lobethal from there, then come back and down green hill and cruise back to somewhere else. give a good mixture of both sorts of driving, city and hills, and a fair number of stopping points to let everybody catch up and have a talk and get back onto the cruise again.
Aska
Ok peeps so whens it going down!?!

smile.gif

Lets get organised here....

The sooner the better, the weather is probably only going to get worse before it gets better and I'm not too keen on wet weather cruisin.
KandiRaver
Other then this weekend i'll be available for the next 3-4 weekends.. so pick a date and i'll be there. like Aska said sometime soon would be good how about:

May 12&13 or;
May 19&20

questionmark.gif questionmark.gif questionmark.gif
waylander_jobby
any weekend is usually ok for me. i would prefer may 19 or 20 since i shall be off my p's and i will have 9 demerit points instead of the 1 i have left now biggrin.gif.
KandiRaver
Well.. i think the 19-20th is a bit to close now and seeing as no organisation has been done then i think the curise is cancelled until furhter notice (just like happened last time).

Those seriously interested in doing a cruise, could you please state here and also list the dates (within the next 2 months) that will be suitable for you.
Aska
Pity that we couldn't get more people interested sad.gif

Can I ask who organised maps for the last cruise??
KandiRaver
I think Jutsin was organising this.. but obviously, like this one, it never got off the ground.. i think it was mainly all just thread talk instead of anyone actually physically organising anything.
Jutsin
We were attempting to organise something, but schedules didn't permit a weekend for everyone to get together, and we couldn't agree on a route.

Like I said before I no longer have time to organise it, as my efforts are spent elsewhere (where I'm being paid for it, basically laugh.gif)..

I say just pick a route that starts from a central location, and pick a weekend and see who can/can't make it .. any more than 4-5 car loads is a success, in my opinion.

I can do basically any weekend except Saturday the 2nd.

I'd love for it to be on a weekend with sunny forecasts so I can take the bike, but I realise this is a bit too optimistic of me, and I'll just sus it out once everything is set.
KandiRaver
Ok.. looks like i'm gonna be taking this on.. i'll talk to my ppl and see what we can arrange! tongue.gif
waylander_jobby
well any weekends pretty much a-ok with me. and as for locations central down town as justin said and a mixture of cruising types, like some hills and some city cruising. so maybee etsa park, or freedom carpark for a start, lofty summit as a stop off point, and lobethal as a halfway mark and then cruise back another way, to town again or the bay.
Aska
If u need a hand let me know smile.gif
I'm all for it and seeing there hasn't been a cruise for a while- well i think thats a great excuse
waylander_jobby
same if we can get this happening ittle be great biggrin.gif

Yeah celeste if you need a hand I am happy to help, I have done many a car cruise and know lots of country routes and so forth so if you would like my assistance I am more than happy to lend hands and heads smile.gif

That would be great if you could help out with routes! I've never been on a cruise, so don't know the best routes to take!

anything with country driving, and possibly a beach drive by would be good.

I know it's getting wet these day's but how about mid June for a cruise?
waylander_jobby
yea, cruse from the bay to the hills and back maybe, could leave from say coles car park in glenelg down around glenelg then up anzac highway, depending if its night or not along hindley street, then back to greenhill rd through the city part of greenhill rd then up to the top, now depending on how long u want the cruise to go for u can turn left onto summit rd and head to lofty summit, or can continue along greenhill rd for a bit longer then left turn onto woods hill rd then across across the woods hill rd and ridge rd T intersection then again across the tregethan and woods hill rd intersection onto stony rise rd, then after that rd right at the lobethal rd cross intersection then all the way to the intersection of the lobethal rd and deviation rd now the cruise can either continue on to lobethal, or turn back and go along deviation rd then along range view, then along Bridgewater careygully rd to Bridgewater. from there we can either go to mt lofty again, and then back down green hill or we can go straight down the freeway although via the old freeway and cruise back to town or the bay etc. lol. thats one way ive done a cruise with some racers and hills boys up here in the hills and it was a good drive, some easy city cruising and some spirited hills driving all in the one cruise. see what u think? plenty of scope for modification. biggrin.gif
KandiRaver
That sounds pretty good to me! smile.gif anyone else interested in this?
Aska
Sounds good. We should make up some maps to give out at our initial meeting point. If someone wants to make up a digital copy and send it thru to me, Ill organise the hard copies for distribution.
Mid June or late June (after uni exmas??)
smile.gif
KandiRaver
After uni exams would probably be the best option.. don't want to interrupt anyones study! and either way it's gonna be wet!

When are uni exams? (i don't study so i'm oblivious!)

June 30 is out for me tho.. it's an important date so i'll be booked all day.
waylander_jobby
yes after uni exams :S i got a lot of studying to do, probably the result of me heading to town too often during the semester biggrin.gif exams are in a few weeks from now. um i can try and sort out a digital map of sorts,
Aska
Not sure about UniSA or flinders, but they are all around the same time.
The last ones are about the 30th of June.
So lets make it first weekend in July (6th, 7th or 8th)???

Cant wait til they are over, then we can cruise!!
waylander_jobby
ha ha yes holla to that biggrin.gif after exam cruise tongue.gif will make it all the sweeter.
waylander_jobby
ok this is my preliminary route any comments and or suggested changes smile.gif ha ha theres lots of rds out there.

Attached Image

basicaly it goes like this, freedom carpark, or etsa park?????? then into town then along greenhill rd from city, right up into hills till we reach mt lofty summit rd then turning right up to lofty summit for a checkpoint/meet point. then cruise back down summit and resume the drive along greenhill rd for a short bit, then left down woods hill rd, then at the cross intersection straight ahead onto stony rise rd then right onto lobethal rd till deviation rd then left at the end of the rd onto green hill rd again then down range view Dr and from there left down Bridgewater carey gully rd, into bridgewater then left onto strathalbyn rd till milor for the next checkpoint/meetpoint. then from there along stock rd then right at longwood rd till the intersection with scot creek rd then along that rd till the end then right onto morgon rd then left at ironbank rd then continue along that rd till upper sturt rd then right back to crafers, for another meet point, then down the freeway to the eagle on the hill exit and then down there, then from the end of the freeway continue down cross rd till anzac and then down to glenelg.

sound alright ? if not suggest changes/additions biggrin.gif

there should be a good few hours driving there.
Aska
I vote for a start at ETSA pk. heaps of room there
Else, looks good tongue.gif
KandiRaver
sounds good to me.. thnx for scouting out the route Waylander.
waylander_jobby
no probs, it looks like an ok route few different sorts of rds and types of driving, and a few places to stop and socialize along the way, and in Mylor or Crafers, we can stop and get coffee etc from the deli there, well i will be: to feed my caffeine substance abuse biggrin.gif. yes ETSA park was my thinking too.

ha ha yes yes, it does say motorized vehicle cruise, if it however didn't say motorized u could probably add, bicycles and horses to the list of allowed vehicles tongue.gif although that could cause some slight problems. so yea motorbikes are on the list biggrin.gif though don't leave us poor 4 wheelers behind too much ha ha.
KandiRaver
Haha.. agreed! lol.. all forms of motorised vehicles are welcome.

1ish is good for me and the 6-8th have already been booked off on my calander!

As I said originally it depended on the mans car and well he still doesnt have it back
waylander_jobby
im sorry i didnt turn up, even though i helped organise it. went to ultaworld, and car got locked in carpark on rundle street and i wasnt gonna pay the $55 to get it out. so didnt get home till 9 by the time we broke into and out of the car park. so was very very sleepy.

bullshite i tell u complete bullshite, never park in u parks again stage a protest.

so yea thats why i couldnt bloody well turn up sad.gif very annoyed.

lol will have to organise another one and give it more time to get it all happening
Aska
Too bad sad.gif Actually I thought that spreading the word would be the biggest issue
I ended up going for a hills run anyway, though I think my boost needs tweakin...

Next time? ---> maybe better weather, no rave the night b4... and the list goes on!!!
