Thanks for giving Jasmin such a sendoff, guys. You banana benders sure know how to get out there. A big thanks to the organisers, You've done us proud. :D

[Oneofthegreats]

Holly VW day Batman!!!

Look's like everyone had a awesome day of driving & plenty of pics to show too!

Wish I'd had of been there myself. Plenty of new GTI's & Polo's, that for sure.

I reckon I might hold on to all of my mk1 stuff as going by these pic's, there aren't many on the road anymore.

Fantastic effort by the organiser's & all who attended.
I give you the big thumb's up.

I'm with brackie & say that all of this is for a great cause.

Good day fella's :)

Shame there is one less MKII in the world now :(

[DubSteve]

Well done fellas, congrats on a fantastic turnout and a bidding farewell to Jasmin as I am sure that John and the rest of her family would have approved.

Great to see so many VW's out there and about. Even better to see that there are so many vr6's out there I thought we were rare:(

Never the less, a great day and I'm sure many friendships will be started from this.

This also gives a kick in the dumb for all other states to do the same thing as well!!!

KI11Z - did you fit on a mono-wiper?

Just a dodgy to see what kind of reception it got? cant descide if its too rice or jus adds to the euroness of it?? didnt many opinions n comments though so cant have looked tooo bad?! still dont know if i'll keep it??:???:

[rayray086]

Mate, I reckon it looks the part! After seeing what you've done, I'm contemplating it too!

If it was on my car, I would have preferred it if it was sitting on the bottom of the windscreen as its resting position. Subtle mods ftw :)

Oh and also:

Who's car is that?? Stance is awesome with the mini-tuck going on!

[Dr Spine]

Shame there is one less MKII in the world now :(

Will details of what actually happened come to light or is the "incident" to be the topic that isn't to be spoken about?

We should only talk of it if the owner instigates the conversation. If he doesn't, then that's the end of it.

I agree that it is a shame that it occured.

Cars can be replaced.......people can't :)

[Tameth_au]

As a fellow mk2 owner I am dying of curiosity here... from the few pics it was in it looked like a beautiful example. love the multispoke wheels on the mk2

[mean_green_mk1]

the only reason why me and golf me up caught up to any of you guys ie: dave and jayson was because of the crash.

i do have to say next time we are on a crusie is someone has a problem the last car who has a walkie talkie should stop and check everything is ok.

twice i stopped and not one person stop to check if i was alright with the car, the group just kept driving. on the second leg golfme_up's brakes were smoking so i pulled him ova and we waited about 7 mins for them to cool down, then when we got to the bottom of the hill everyone was gone, and from this we made a wrong turn and had to do a big loop, during the hole day i used a whole tank of gas

and then when we got to the second leg stop at the bridge no cars were there so we tried to call the numbers on the paperwork but to no answers, so we just kept going untill we came across the red mk2 in someones yard and then we had a 3 cars cruise to the fish and chip shop

[golfmeup]

Hey Tam,
You missed out on a interesting day!

Would have been nice to see another MKII there to break up the sea of MKV golf's and Polo's.

Have to admit that I unfortunately felt a little "un-welcome" at this event, this might have been partly because we were left behind after I suffered some brake trouble.

What ever happened to the guy at the back of the pack, keeping an Eye on things?

Thanks to one member for being the nice guy he is and stopping for me!
:)
We then both got lost and had to find our way back to the pack. Luckily bumped into DOHCDave and G60Jay just after Natural Arch, ;)

Shout out to Golfer though for doing his best at organising what has to be the biggest meet so far.!

Even if I did get the feeling that the owners of "older" cars were not welcomed as much as owners of newer models, it was a fun day, it was worth the wait for those fish and Chips and getting together to support Golfers loss.

I realise next time to bring my mums MK5 and a walkie talkie, lol

[phaeton]

WOW Great turn up Guys :D

This is the VW Spirit and what no Hyundai, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and Peugeot etc buyers will get ;)

Cheers to Jasmin :)

EDIT Cool Eos Individual :o

Great work fellas once again yet Sydney still holds the biggest GTG January 07 35 cars ;)

Great work fellas once again yet Sydney still holds the biggest GTG January 07 35 cars ;)

The Maroon blood that flows through my Queenslander veins senses a challenge in those words. The next get together will be bigger we hope. It is no mean feat to get that many cars together for a long drive like we had. Round trip for me was about 400klm from home and back. I'm sure that with a shorter round trip and a slightly later start (for all the sleepy heads) we'll get bigger numbers next time.

[DubSteve]

I'm sure that you guys will and we hope so for the good of this forum, we did about 200kms round trip so it wasn't to bad.

I dont think this is very fair mate...alot of work goes into organising and holding a cruise or gtg and for not much thanks.the guy at the end is doing it to help any stragglers and we have never had anyone doing this.its your responsibility to keep up,anyway you had a map!!maybe next time,you could be the one ddoing this job???
id like to know shaneth why you wont do another cruise??? even though I told you this would be your first and last cruise organisation.I know how you feel.

[shaneth]

id like to know shaneth why you wont do another cruise???

Mate its because a few of the guys have posted negative responses almost personal attacks towards me. And knowing how much time and MONEY i dedicated to this cruise. Not to mention the stress involved. Perosnally if thats the response i get even by the minority i would rather wait for someone else to do it. Hell i organised last one and did a major part of this one, its about time someone else did a bit of the work. Thanks golfer for everything you did to organise this cruise. Especially through such tough times. I to am proud of you.

[gpk_gti]

and after the symbolism of this cruise,you would have thought that any complaints would have been kept to a pm.Instead of ditching the cruise,which I would have done in Jons shoes,he kept his word and dedicated the cruise to his JAZ...did you guys forget this ?? this is just a huge negative on such a even more huge and fantastic cruise.
congratulations again Jon and Shane!!! for the sake of our MOSTLY GREAT members,dont allow this to dampen your spirits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mean_green_mk1]

much respect go's out to the guys to the guys who organized the cruise, i know i could not have done it, i was just making point so we can resolve this issue for the next cruise cause the whole point of a cuise is for everyone to go together and if someones car breaks down there are other people to lend a hand or a spare seat for the rest of the cruise.

[DubSteve]

Right O fellas enough, no need to heat up this thread, no good keep it nice and easy.

This was suppose to be a fun and great day, no need to talk poo to people.

A lot goes into making a cruise or GTG and getting everyone to come. Not an easy feat.

This thread will now be watched anyone makes any more unhappy remarks, posts will be deleted and warned!

[KI11Z]

Many many thanks goes out to John and Shane for doing there upmost to hold this cruise tgether!! In the end (nearly) no-one got lost and the fish and chips were fast and nice! :D . . . well i thaught it was fast considering the flood that they were hit with!!

Was great to meet everone from the previous cruises and also to meet the newbies! ;) Though there were a lot of our 5th generation there and not ebough old school imo!! and to my greatest supprise there were no mk4'z???? what tha!?

anyways, after yet another successfull cruise im looking forward to the next! j:

:):) Thanks for a great day. A special thanks to Shaneth, the maps and run sheets were very professional, a hard act to follow. Don't give up on us mate.
I'm sure the vast majority on the run had a great day. GREAT DAY, GREAT PEOPLE AND GREAT CARS.........;)

[brackie]

Stop and consider this:

At least 2 people put in a lot of time and effort to get this event off the ground. Its success or failure depends not just upon them, but upon all of the participants
A "cruise" is a cruise. Not a race
As soon as you get out onto the road and mix it with other road users you have a responsibility to them, not only to other cruise participants
Cruises are not convoys and never will be as long as they are held on public roads. If you want a convoy hire a race track for a day and drive around it together
When you mix "Old Skoolers" with R32s and Mk5 GTIs there is a huge difference in ability. You can't expect them to stay together in performanceGuys, I'm disappointed in the way that this thread has progressed. I want you all to remember the its intent and the friendly, cooperative ethos that this forum upholds. At least the fish and chips ended the day well.

[bombsquad21]

Being neither from the old skool or the new skool with my Mk3 I can probably suggest that the older cars are generally just as hard to keep up with, I sorted a few things on my car prior to cruise..(expensive week last week) for my enjoyment, reliability and because I wanted to do a better job of keeping up than I did on the first run. The organization was exemplary, the behavior of the drivers was outstanding and the route was well planned and mapped.

Great to meet more friendly VW drivers, shame I had to take off straight after my "family feast" cause I had to make it from Tweed Heads to Brisbane Airport in 1hr 30mins for work. I drove nearly 400km for the day and used only 2/3rds of a tank of 98octane...oh and it only took me 1hr 10mins to get to the apt from the fish and chip shop, hope there aren't any unwelcome photos of my car on the cruise heading my way!

Awesome day...

[KI11Z]

...oh and it only took me 1hr 10mins to get to the apt from the fish and chip shop, hope there aren't any unwelcome photos of my car on the cruise heading my way!...

1hr 10mins!!!!! wow! go the 8v! haha :D not that you were speeding right . . . :rolleyes:

[mean_green_mk1]

man thats some good time, so thats why you had the clothes hanging in the back of your car

[bombsquad21]

I wish I knew the exact distance so I could calculate average speed, cause some jerkoff in a Prado decided he wanted to tailgate me regardless of how fast i was moving along. As for the 8v, it did me proud on Sunday. It was a long day sunday...730am start 230am finish....Not as long as Alex and Dave though!

[Golf Loon]

A big hand to Shaneth and John Golfer for all the effort they put into the cruise. It seemed very well laid out and organized from here.

Sorry to hear of your bust up Jay, lets have a before and after pic and a description of the build. I thought it was just me who could spend 5 months building a car and 5 hours driving it to destruction;

Whose is the Mk2 Jetta? There will be another one up there soon. :D

Dave your Green Mk1 is lookig sweet.

[GoLfMan]

fantastic turout guys....
about time Melbourne did something similar, we seem to be a lazy bunch!!!!
loved the photos looked great :)

[golfmeup]

Wow,
A few sensitive types here!

Didnt mean to stir the fires! Just having my say about the day.

I have sent PM's to people in response.

On a positive note, the guys did do a great job at organising the biggest event I have been on.

I could never possibly manage the work they have pulled off.

Thanks everyone else for a fun filled morning!
Was a great sight to see so many nice cars all together!:)

I have some pics and will post later today!

[Eddy]

I will never organise a cruise again.

Hoyhoy.
Shane it was a top cruise, you & John done a top job.
P.S. The word "never" doesn't exist.

[gtimk5]

What a top day you fellas had. Its great to see a lot of friendships developed by these forum cruises and yes, absolute top marks go to Shaneth and John. Difficult circumstances and I am sure Jasmin would have been proud of you all on the day.
Makes our local scene look very low down here. (which it is these days)
Go the Qlders and NSWers!
Cheers, Andrew:)

[Guy_H]

It was a good day fellows - great job in organising!

it will always be hard to keep everyone together.

i remember seeing the bonnet up on a MKii or iii at some stage & one - I had no where to pull up, and then as I tried to pull over, the 5 cars behind me all tried to do the same. I then realised I had no idea where we had to go so I thought it best to catch up with the cars in front. Didn't help that I didnt have a radio either!

look forward to the next one :)

[rudiger_isosceles]

John, Shane... just fantastic. I had such a good time, i didnt even know things like this happened before i joined this forum, and i had no idea it would be that awesome. You guys did an excellent job organising the event and i extend many, many thanks to you for it. Was the first time i'd had a real chance to the stretch the legs on my VR6 for more than a couple of minutes at a time, and i was very impressed with its performance, and the cars around me. My fuel consumption was insane though, average 9.2 L/ 100 kms, over 380 kms. Only got to the halfway mark of my full tank as i arrived home. How did this happen when i spent most of the time in 2nd and 3rd gear?! And why can't i use this little fuel the rest of the time. Anyway, thankyou again to john and shane, this was an excellent ode to jasmin's memory, anyone would be proud to have 25 VWs honouring them.

[Dr Spine]

Hoyhoy.

P.S. The word "never" doesn't exist.

Oh of course it does Eddy. There are lots of things I can safely say I'll NEVER do. :) I am certain that I will never walk down the middle of the highway holding your hand singing tip-toe through the tulips. See, I told you the word exists!

[DaveMack]

hey guys great cruise felt alittle out of place against all the new VWs but still was made welcome :D i was expecting more mk1s and was shocked not to see a mk4, the mk1 didnt have any issues all day and was itching!!! to go faster there was no issues with pace of the cruise was one of the best organised cruises ive been on period in every way and ive been on plenty. was very well planned and the next cruise should be done the same.
It only took me to search 5 pages to find a pic of my mk1 and what a pic can you please send me a high res version without a blanked number plate leave the rest looks hot :D

[rayray086]

That's a sweet photo of your Mk1 revnit! Wallpaper material :D Would be awesome too if the red GTI trim remained red in the pic.

Don't let some of the talk in here bother you shaneth, from what I'm reading in here, you and Golfer did a fantastic job organising everything. The forums are still young and we've only been through a handful of cruises altogether, so I can only imagine better, more refined things to come in the future.

[Dr Spine]

Careful Doc ... you never know what might excite Eddy. :D

Quite true, but I'm pretty sure he's into the girls. He even had one with him on the drive :)

[voodoo]

Hey everyone great cruise. Been on all three SEQ runs to date and all have been great and can only get better with learnings from the others. Great to learn more about my own car and as well as other cars and drivers. Followed Guy H for a time so has a good mentor to aspire to. Saw lots of smiles on faces even if at times it was in the mirror from someone behind me wanting me to go faster. I think I need to attend one of Guy's DriveGTi training sessions to learn how to appreciate my car more. Hey Dr Spine shame you and your dad didn't get to the fish and chip spot next to the river. I threatened to see if he could swim after his comment of "Cars are only for getting from a to b" - sacriledge. All in fun though as is the context we should keep both the cruise and the forum. Keep up the good work. I was buggered by the time I got back to Brisbane to pick my missus up. I even let her drive back to Toowoomba. Shame me sitting in the drivers seat of the GTI when sober. Thanks John and Shane.

[japtaxi]

I think I was behind you from the start to tamborine (is your one with the euro plate?).. I don't mind driving behind slower cars as they'll stop me from going too fast n:

[DaveMack]

... that my bro Pete took on the cruise. He did about 33 minutes getting most areas but his battery was low so he couldn't just film it all (shame really ... missed some of the quicker bits - no ... I didn't say FAST ... we were all pretty well behaved ... considering the traffic and narrowness of some of the roads).

It'd probably be pretty boring for non-Dubbers ... but I enjoyed watching it and seeing all those cars again. Soon as it is digitised I'll post on YouTube.

Cheers,
Dave

[DOHCDAVE]

Great work fellas once again yet Sydney still holds the biggest GTG January 07 35 cars ;)

I thought i heard that there were 25 at the begining with few that headed home early...
DOH !
I was wraped when i heard the count, cause i thought we had the largest turnout yet. Well next one, well have to round up the rest of the guys that didn't show this round.

Think of it as a GTG state of origin. LOL....:)

I counted 32 at KKs and we picked up 3 more along the way, so 35 at Liverpool and Probably 25 by Mt Kiera:
The 20 dubs that stopped at the side of the freeway in protest may have helped too :D

this post was from the jan cruise thread..
actually we had 35,,but lost alot,at least 7 as we headed off,made it to the lookout and we had 25 .then by the time we made it to the destination ,we had about 10 or so,,,,

whos the best so far guys?????how many did you loose towards the end?????:D

[DaveMack]

how many did you loose towards the end?????:D

Not a lot, George. I'd have to do a count up of those parked at the fish & chip shop ... but it looked like about 20 made it to the end.

Cheers,
Dave

[DOHCDAVE]

There were 3 of us that turn up a little later as we were cleaning up the mess up the mountain.
And i would consider G60 Jay as still there although his car was still up the hill...... poor bugger.
I'm not sure if DR spine went to the end but think we only lost 1or2
So would estimate around 23 that were still there in the end.

Sorry, John ... I'll have to check with Bro as to how he's doing. Last I heard he was looking on the .Net for a driver to download onto his computer. He said if he had problems he'd contact me and see if I could find someone (in Brisbane) through the forum who could do it. But at this stage ... I don't even know what sort of camera (brand) he has so even the driver part is not within my grasp.

I'll send him an email and ask how he's doing.

Will get the movie up ASAP (but that may be a little while yet).

Cheers,

... Pete hasn't done it yet (well, what do you expect ... he's not a Dub owner, he wouldn't understand). Anyway, two things are happening. He's checking out a place he used years ago for a video conversion onto DVD (not holding my breath) and I've had an offer of help from a forum member (thanks BrisGTI - Tom ... to get the drivers to convert the video to a format we can all view online).

So ... it WILL BE DONE ... AND SOON!

Ok Ok....I didn't hear that much chip talk, only a little.


Those pics are awsome, love them shaneth.
Ok i'm happy now.....:)

That's the pic i was hoping for, great stuff, anyone got any more of the old skool?.

Didn't have a camera so eager to see some shots even if the're pmed to me.

Thanks again for some new pics shaneth, that one is going on the wall,....for sure!
