Hi guys,

Just found out about this today!

http://www.rchcruise.org/

I'll be heading along, would be great to get some other Mini's there making an appearance.

So, all of you Melbourneites with nothing to do tomorrow - lets go and do some good! It'll only cost you a gold coin donation, all going to the Royal Childrens Hospital.

There will be a MASSIVE variety of cars there, and Police too so don't worry about idiots!

If I was in Melbourne I would definitely do the cruise.

Its great when you can have fun driving your mini for a good cause. A win/win situation.

MickyD · Apr 13th, 2006, 10:47 AM

probably won't go this year, but I went a few years ago, and there were upwards of 1500 cars, La Porchetta sent along a truck full of Pizza too, as in 500+++ pizzas.

Baker · Apr 13th, 2006, 02:48 PM

Come on guys, get into it!

doona · Apr 13th, 2006, 02:54 PM

Not for me, unfortunately I have plans

Any pics?

doona · Apr 14th, 2006, 12:27 PM

Was it good...... or bad?

MickyD · Apr 14th, 2006, 12:37 PM

I think the turnout was severely affected by the weather, judging from the thread on MCCR

Baker · Apr 14th, 2006, 03:49 PM

Was a bit of a washout, but was still an awesome turnout, had a good time

Didn't end up getting any pics, forgot dads P&S, took the video camera but was a bit too wet to use it. Was actually nice to enjoy it not looking through a viewfinder for once in a while

Yeah, I was the dude in the dark silver MCS

Was quite a few of the parachute pants crew there, got asked a few times if it was "turbo one bro?". It went down surprisingly well though, got a heap of interest and "approvals"...

Simon was rapt someone took a photo of his

. Those rims look good on it...

St00ge · Apr 14th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Haha, i've had a few "bros" that ask stuff like "does it go hard." Like some guy rolled up next to me in a stock S14 200SX, he looked at me and asked if it goes hard....i showed him how hard it went

doona · Apr 15th, 2006, 01:02 AM

Actually a bit surprising the number of 'fully sick' bro's that don't know that much about the MINI??

-Dan

MickyD · Apr 15th, 2006, 01:06 AM

ah yes, but you must remember that their two-tone auto N/A silvias are faster than anything in the known universe

Yeah, but only provided that they also have theat 'too long in the shipping container' frosted ocean weathered look to the paint job!!

Going now to get my head shaved!!

-Dan

Baker · Apr 15th, 2006, 01:28 AM

The full shave or the number 2 special?

I was actually quite surprised at how it went down, was getting a hell of a lot of "awesome car bro" comments etc, and general good vibes towards it... is the scene changing on me?!!?
