SkylineObsession

Not long to go now. Don't be put off by the club running it or whatever (i've noticed the lack of response to invites i send to our meets ), the hospice gets every single cent raised, and sponsors pay for every single expenditure we have. I started the event, but it isn't a Southern Skylines fest, there were more Supras than Skylines last year and about twenty million more V8's. Need to get a bigger presence of cool Japanese vehicles, and you peeps have some of the coolest ones in town. Would probably get moseyed at more than the newer models at least.

Be there. http://southernskylines.com/charitycruise/ https://www.facebook.com/OtagoCommunityHospiceCharityCruise

Almost feels like it belongs in a video game. Vid below taken from our drivecam which wifey had in her car. That looks quite slow compared to how it feels. Then again, i had no cars in front of me. And a few photos (more on the SSE forums) Dunedin Ice Stadium carpark Balclutha sports grounds Kaka Point Kaitangata BMX track

Can someone please delete (only) the following from the first post; and replace with this; And then delete this post?

Next cruise: Sunday 31st May Leaving 10:30am Cruising to Balclutha, then to Kaka Point, then back to Clutha and maybe finish up at the Kaitangata BMX track. Hoose keen? Looks like a nice wee drive according to my trip on Google Maps. Will probably head down the coast through Brighton and Taieri Mouth to get to SH1 after we leave Dunners. https://www.facebook.com/events/820310414690114/

Gore meet, Sunday 19th April Joining up with a guy running 'Mates Car Cruise' on the third Sunday of every month, and heading down to Gore. Will be visiting the Mandeville Aviation Museum and then have lunch at The Moth (part of the museum?). Then we'll head to Pioneer Park. Meet at the Dunedin Ice Stadium carpark between 9-10 am, with a 10am sharp departure.

Well it was another awesome meet.

Next meet is on in a week! Sunday 15th January. MEET: 9:30am at the Dunedin Ice Stadium carpark (big one) on Victoria Road, St Kilda. CRUISE: Leaves 10am sharp, please arrive with enough petrol/diesel/electricity/biofuel/jet fuel for the cruise. Anywho, same as last time - we meet at the ice stadium, head up to North Dunedin, but up Bethunes Gully (Norwood St), along Mt Cargill Road all the way to Waitati. On SH1 for a very short time, until the bottom of the Kilmog, where we turn right onto Coast Road, to eventually head through Karitane etc. Then back onto SH1 for a while, with a possible quick detour at Waikouaiti on the old SH1 (depends on interest levels). Then back on it till Palmerston, then we take Horse Range Road through Trotters Gorge which may not be nice to drive on at the mo (roadworks?) but it's less boring than the motorway. Which arrives back to SH1 near Moeraki. Cruise for a wee while longer on SH1 to Waianakarua Road, by the mill house/old Scout camp just before Herbert (Sherbert). Hopefully don't hold up SH1 traffic too much as we wait to turn into that road (no turning lane). Then its through to Kakanui, where we take Magdala St into the town, then Harbour Tc around the outside edge between the town and the ocean, then back onto the road and finish up at Oamaru Harbour. Then we may find a food source for lunch, and who knows what we'll do after that (up to whoever turns up). Meet is on rain or shine. https://www.facebook.com/events/651727644953413

Time changed, and a BBQ being bought along now too.

Hey all. This year i'm aiming to try have at least one cruise meet every single month instead of wimping out in Winter, so will announce the next meet details below this blabbering each time it comes around. Any type of car at all welcome to attend (or motorbike, van/truck etc), and the only rules are to please hold off on the skids, speeding etc while you're with us. A group of cars is going to attract attention and we don't want that to be negative attention, nor do we want the Police to stop us. Been organising meets for ten or more years now with no trouble from the Police, so want to keep it that way! The next meet is; Sunday 25th January. MEET: 11:30am at the Dunedin Ice Stadium carpark (big one) on Victoria Road, St Kilda. CRUISE: Leaves 12pm sharp, and we make our way to North Dunedin, then we'll head along Mt Cargill Road, then along Blueskin Road (?) past the Ecosanctuary, then down into Purakaunui Road, then into the tiny 'town' where we may stop for a photo at one or two locations depending on the number of the cars in the cruise and how many cars are already in those spots (they aren't big), then back up the hill, and down the other side to Long Beach where we'll finish up at one of four domains (that you can drive on). Toilets, a playground, shade and so on all available, and the beach is a 2 minute (or less) walk away. Closest shop is in Port Chalmers i think? BBQ will be brought along, and if you could bring a little bit of food to help out it would be appreciated. Chops, meat patties etc. Oamaru cruise next month (15th Feb at this stage), and Balclutha one day too. Meet is on rain or shine, but if raining we may change the route, unless we still get a decent number cruising. http://www.facebook.com/southernskylines

On this Sunday! The military guys are putting on a big display apparently and will be offering rides in a tracked vehicle too i think. And we have a couple of raffles on the day, one of them is good if you like being a passenger in fast cars (and by fast i mean nothing less than 500hp), but can only choose one to ride in. Turn up in/on whatever, just be there (please!). Don't have to cruise if you don't want, there will still be people there while we're out waking up the neighbourhoods.

...you'll be attending the 2014 Otago Community Hospice Charity Cruise in Dunedin, right? (top pic in flyer below is from our 2011 or 2012 event) (scanned flyer, hence the bad quality) FACEBOOK PAGE WEBSITE We're now in our fifth year, and are hoping that this is the year when it doesn't rain! Last year we allowed motorbikes for the first time, and it was also our best year yet. 180+ cars, 8 motorbikes, $3,655.70 raised for the hospice. Other than turning up on the day, we also would love for people to help spread the word - even to people you see at the petrol station/supermarket/golf course in their Jag, Porsche, GT-R, F350, Harley, Aprillia etc. Theres still been a few marques we haven't seen yet either, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lamborghini, Lancia, Lexus?, Maserati, Rolls Royce, TVR. Had a number of Ferrari's and Porsches turn up over the years, but it's always awesome to get any type of car along! See you there...

It was a great show, first time i've been there in years (was in the area, as was on a motorbike rally that weekend). I took a number of pics too but at 7-10mb for each photo, i probably won't put them online :s

Did it sound alright, if you know? That Corolla sedan racing at Highlands seemed to be revving its guts out and more. Felt almost sorry for it. :s
