Default Who is on a massive, massive Car Cruise tonight?

Hey all,

Just standing outside, in Warrandyte, and have just been listening to a massive MASSIVE bunch of cars flying past out Reynolds Rd, or Ringwood/Warrandyte Rd. I could hear Turbo Sixes, maybe Skylines and VL's, and some very distinctive sounding V8's as well. Must have been hundreds of cars, and it took a good 10 minutes for them all to pass.

Anyone know who it may have been? No one here on a big cruise? I was thinknig Boost cruisers, although I thougt I'd check here first

-Dan

Nah no real heat. It was organized in conjunction with VicPol, and organized by Stowln & co.

Was a great cruise, huge turnout and not your average commo's with neons. A lot of big power cars, and I think I saw 1 skid. Which he was promptly pulled over and the meet point was delayed for 30 mins cause everyone was standing around having a good laugh when he was inpounded.

Did not see any cars get impounded, apart on the other side of the freeway, going to the second meet point, but was not with the group. There was plenty of cops. first meet point had about 7 cop cars, second spot had 4 cop cars, 3rd spot had 6 cop cars and last spot had a cop car patrolling. There was also a few cops on the route watching everyone. Also seen a couple cops driving in the cruise in unmarked cars. But not many burnouts, did not see anyone leaving in a big plume of smoke.

The impound was just out of Burvale Pub. Guy left a small skid, was pulled over just up the road near the lights. Maybe it was just the group that i was with. A group 20 or so cars but.

300 cars, nice. Hasn't been much around like that since the VSS days, but VSS was double the size
