The first cruise I went to, was GOR. I'm not sure how many years ago, I think 2003. I drove 4.5 hours to get there (should have been longer ;)), only to be late and arrive as everyone was leaving! I tailed the group back to melbourne (we didnt stop so I didnt meet anyone LOL) and then got to melb, turned around and headed back to near SA...

I think the first meet I went to and actually met people was one of the infamous monday night mini-meets, I think the first person I met was one Sunny, Damo, Ash or one of those clowns, I have no idea... Damn, my car was such a ****ter back then haha.

I remember mate. Was that back when I had the VS?

First cruise i ever attended:

I cant recall the date... but was back in the days when shav had the 5L.... and dan used to come and show us his speed-hump scraping techniques

And i think monty may have only had 2 cars!!! ;)

Sundeep · 25-08-2006, 10:42 AM

Haha check out Doug's car in those pics.. it was red!

First cruise for me was that one up at Bundoora. Forgot the name of the place. AcidBurns fried his coil wiring and BassCrazy helped him out for a bit with it then the cruise just went to crap.

I remember that was when Simon did the first BBM conversion ever heard of and everyone was like "woooaahhh""..

It was sick..

And in EFFalcon's photo, I can see a silver EA with 4WD ride height... and that was well before my first cruise!

I'll post up some pics next week. My internet is currently capped for going over the 20GB limit, but it will be all good next week. On those two FF.au / Fords Downunder cruises I did before my first e-series cruise, I met EA2BA and EFFalcon. I already knew Ghia5L before that.

EFFalcon · 25-08-2006, 12:29 PM

the silver EA in my pics is Juarez.

Also, the my *FIRST* cruise also happened to be Jack's *LAST* cruise in his EA :P

Psycho Chicken · 25-08-2006, 12:57 PM

Juarez? Is he dead? In fact I think most of these people are dead.

Wow, I've actually seen Jack's car running! Amazing.

And come to think of it I've never taken my car on a GOR cruise.

Thanks, John. I just noticed that one because of the similarities to mine!

I have pics of the Sorrento meet aswell. The day i was running late & went slightly off track and Steve (Rmyers) to my rescue was giving me directions over the phone

: Anyway I'll post them up when i find them.

<Sam>

yeah i remember that car....everyone was crowding around the engine bay......."woah its SUPERCHARGED"... would have to be the first forced eseries i had ever seen....

come to think of it i dont think i saw it again either......

That car belonged to a regular member called Acidburns, (i can't remember his name, shaun i think?). He then started bragging to us that he had the ULTIMATE mod that he was going to unveile at the next meet. We were all expecting turbo or something similar, when to our dissapointment he rocked up in a riced up lancer. So whoever has the car now is not part of the club.

Man i sooo wish we had all the origional threads, would be a laugh to look over them again...

Thanks for that Steve. Acidburns obviously has no taste, going from a good EA to a ricer. That EA is still a nice looking car. It still looks exactly the same as in the photos, right down to the rims. I've noticed that a large section of the dash has also been painted white.

Yeah, he was telling us it was his "DREAM" car, and that not many people get to own their dream car when their 20. Pffft, who the hell DREAMS of owning a riced up lancer lol

XRated · 25-08-2006, 03:36 PM

I never met Acidburns, but I remember the story. It must've happened shortly before my first meet.. A Lancer with EVO kit, it was the in thing to do haha.

Gunns · 25-08-2006, 03:57 PM

Yep it was Fab's, then Swoop's, then over to me.

ah ok.... didnt think that far back

mcflux · 25-08-2006, 05:32 PM

My first meeting with E-Series peoples was Heathcote, June 2003. It was my 6 month anniv. with my (then) gf, but she was badly hung over that morning so I dumped her at her parent's place and rocked up several hours late to the drags. It rained 30 minutes after I arrived :(

I met a few E-Series peoples there, but the only one I remember meeting is Jack, and some dude with a feral-spec EA wagon (like country ute style), although I chatted with about a dozen of you.

My most vivid memory of that day was watching a nasty charger take on a little *****box gemini. The charger looked like an animal, and pulled a 13 sec ET. The little gemini? It quietly buzzed its way to a 9 sec ET (yes, rotary!) :P It looked 100% nanna-spec too!

My first E-Series cruise? GOR 2003

Who can forget SAAB city, and the female occupant of a 4WD at Lorne who flashed us her b00bies!

Acidburns · 31-12-2008, 01:34 PM

Are any of these people above still on the forum?!

While I have moved on, that EA is still in the family, and lives on Phillip Island!!

When it was seen in the Uni carpark, my girlfriend would have been driving it.

ford_gal_86 · 31-12-2008, 05:18 PM

Most people have been banned as you can see. Some are still around here though, new club has formed and E-Series has moved on to another forum.

**Peuty** · 31-12-2008, 05:20 PM

That's funny, looks like E-Series is right here on this forum?

Infact, this thread is in that section now?
