Massive Euro Cruise 22nd Sept 2012

[syhm1984]

Yeh mate, as long as you drive a euro. You are welcome to come.

I'd be interested in this. My car's only a stock GTI though, so she's not fast.
But I do wanna take the car out and really drive it before dumping money into mods.

I'd be keen for this, but unfortunately I work Saturdays. So I guess I'll just have to wait till one is on a Sunday.

I have actually Updated on the second post.

Anyone got account with OZAudi, can you let them know about this event?

[Mr R 360]

This. Best keep the twisties section short with large car numbers, or make it an optional section of the drive.

I've been on a few VW cruises down to the coast and around the hinterland which is always easy going and fun.

I disagree, mountain runs work if you make smaller groups of 6-8 cars each, grouped according to car & driver ability.
Of course honesty is a requirement here because if you say you're awesome and then hold up the pack... Everyone will know!

I recently did a cruise with this format and it worked flawlessly.
E.G. Group 1 departs.... 4min later Group 2.... Then group 3 etc
Also if you find that you are holding others up or vice versa, we can discuss this at the next stop & arrange a swap to a more appropriate group.

It works just like the Sprints are organised for QR & Lakeside, you are grouped according to speed as this will increase safety / reduce overtaking &/or driver frustration.

I am aware this is not a race (durr) but everyone has a different level of experience & knowledge... One person's idea of "fast" could be another person's "slow".

P.S I am happy to help organise groups & lead one if necessary.
