Couldn't count the amount of times ive almost been cleaned up by idiots on cruises before, usually with another specific forum sticker on some of the cars.
Absolutely disgusting

Um, Can I say that this wasn't a forum-organised cruise from here... This was organised over Facebook... I know, I was suppose to be there....

Weather it was organised on here or not... they were advertising they were from ford forums and heading to Corrimal Beach....
The back of the pack which was about 4 cars were the only smart bright ones which dropped off when the fog hit pretty bad.... The rest couldnt care less how they drove or what impact they could of had on other drivers or themselves |

Unfortunately with such a large tree some bad apples will fall and lighten the branches.

Easy, find out which user names they belong to and ban em.
No place for that behaviour when representing this Forum, its not what were about! |

Not all of us were speeding!
I for one did have my hazard lights on and was sticking to the limit, so were the others who were around me!

BTW, when you post your thoughts on a public forum dont expect people to hide their replies via PM, as it would be a boring place without counter arguement. (i refer to your sig) |

Yeah WTF is with hazards?
If it was as bad as you say then perhaps a PM to site admin if you have clear proof of what was happening is fact. Not that I think your lying but its to easy to mix cars up.

This wasn't a 'sanctioned' event .... there are people out there who do stupid things with all sorts of stickers relating to what ever and I believe it is very difficult for the Forums to act on something like this. I have put my boot into it .... not saying I have broken any law .... but just the sound has been enough to attract attention. Of course the FORUMS has a very low tolerance of any sort of 'wrong' attention and if undue attention is brought upon AFF then Admin have every right to take action as required.
