Yeah good cruise pity about Dezza writing off Adz's car.
Was more fun trying to get Dezza's car in to a driveable state. Anyway, +1 vote for Dezza getting a new car and not bothering with his. Sundeep |

Dezza was too busy giving the finger to Johnny Z and slammed in to Adz.
Adz's car is pretty much perfect, rear bar needs a spray but Dezza's car got PWN3D. We spent an hour trying to get the radiator support out to get it driveable, succeeded with a dog leesh and V8 power, then ripped the fan shroud off with pliers to finish the job. Runs fine, but dayamn it's stuffed. Sundeep |

Did ya start throwing punches? The day someone hits me at an e-series cruise, is the day I go to my boot, get my batton, and kill the mongrel.

Yagz dude the cruise was pretty messed up, u bolts here there and everywhere. I almost smacked in to Obriza's new beast when we missed a turn and slowed down quicker than I was paying attention.
Why do you have a batton? Sundeep |

I stuffed up. Simple as that. I looked away for half a second to give Shaun the finger, turned back and Adam had basically stopped. I wasn't paying enough attention and have payed the price. It was a fun cruise up till that point. I have two weeks till rego is due, so I have to decide in the two weeks whether to bother fixing it, or sell it for parts. The radiator is fine, as are the headlights and grille. The bonnet and bumper are stuffed, and the clutch fan is quite wonky (plus I no longer have a radiator shroud). The radiator support is bent so I don't know what to do.

wow.
I woulda been throwing punches for ya Adz. That's pretty stupid Dezza. One reason why i try to stay away from cruises now. They're fairly unorganised, which can lead to things like this happening.

Lets keep it on topic guys and not discuss how we would all react to accidents.

BTW. Thanks to everyone who helped get my car drivable again. You all saved me $350 for a towing fee, and it means I can still go to work tomorrow.

It was an accident, simple as that, they happen every day...
I found it to be a great drive, even though the NF handles like a fully laden oil tanker :P Im getting pics off the camera now, i didn't take a lot, but got a few nice ones...

Yagz bro take some personal time off the forums with your baton. You post too much ****.
Like I said because of the route and nature of a twisties cruise these things are more prone to happening. SoooOOOOoooo Obriza's car is pretty mint huh? Sundeep |

Thanks to all who attended the cruise today, i had a good time, hope everyone else did too. Had a pretty good turnout, 20 cars. A lot of green e-series too!
I have 295 photo's to sort through so i'll post some up later when i've edited them. Anyone else with pics, feel free to post them here, don't go bananas though. My commiserations go out to dezza and adz. They know why, i won't go into it here (and others, please don't either) unless they volunteer the info. Once again, thanks for coming, the next day cruise will have a beach theme Stay tuned.
