exactly my point, nobody saw a thing because I wasn't near anybody. And yes Adam accidents do happen, like the stick that came out from under brooksy's car hit my windscreen and bounced over my roof, could have just as easily have been a bit lower and to the right and come through and impaled me.

If one of the b series members decides that they wouldnt like me to come on another cruise with you guys I wont attend another one of your events thats fine I've got big shoulders, I can handle it.

FLUTTERINN · 25-01-2010, 07:23 PM

We all have a responsibility (gee I hate that word) to behave in a manner which makes our club look and seem respectable. An accident which is by no means anyones fault, is different to one which may have been directly or indirectly caused by carelessness or negligence. Im not saying you were either of the two, but if someone has a beef with your driving, you need to use those big shoulders, cop it and move on. We all wanna just have fun, no bad feelings etc, thats how we roll, and thats why we keep getting more members. The fact is that no one is perfect, and Im darn sure that I have seen everyone being silly...me included! Lets all just go out and have fun, and not let these things get the better of our friendships. Ford freaks that we are....Happy Australia Day mate!!

Mr Brooksy · 25-01-2010, 07:35 PM

Hey guys, take a breath. I didnt name names for a very good reason, having the specific "who did what" discussion here isn't the time or place, because this thread is about talking about upcoming cruises and the great time we have. I made a general comment to remind people about the rules that AFF and bseries, and by extension us. And you may remember I said there were a few of us who were pushing boundaries, not singling anyone out. As well as the fact Adam, Mark and I made the decision to make the "rules of the road discussion" at the begining.

If there is any kind of "someone getting into trouble" should be done via PM. And not thrown open to general discussion unless you are willing to invest into the organisation of cruises etc.

Move on.

Spitfire 6.2 · 25-01-2010, 07:57 PM

It was a great day, and it was great to meet all of the new people. Heres to hoping we all continue to have lots of great times on the various cruises and events in the future.

2.8L Hilux · 26-01-2010, 12:12 AM

What a great cruise, couldn't have picked a better road. It was great to finally meet other members and see their cars.

Thanks alot Mark for organising it. Top job

DrPepper · 26-01-2010, 05:00 AM

I also had a great time, and loved seeing all of your cars.

I have to apologise though for not spending more time getting to know you all better. After I ate lunch at the bowling club I got really sick and could barely stand up or stay awake, so my brother had to take the wheel for the leg after that, and thats why we didn't stop at the last pub. I was really keen to see and hear some more things of what you all had done to your cars, but I guess it wasn't to be.

I would also like to thank the people who organised the cruise, as i can appreciate that there is more to organising one of these than meets the eye, and it really was a great day.

I look forward to getting to know you all better (and your cars) on the next cruise.

(P.S. Adam, I am in love with your XR8, it is one of the nicest BA's I have ever seen!!!)

Meg's GT's · 26-01-2010, 06:22 AM

Looks like you guys had a top day. Congrats on the one year anniversary too
