* if anybody wants some new sets of stickers ($6 per set), please let me know ASAP (latest 22nd Feb) so i can order them in time before the cruise.

Sounds good to me Mikey! The Royal Childrens Hospital, is a perfect place to donate our money. If we are lucky, we may just get the name of our car club announced on TV.

But yeah count me in, Ill definately be there

Looking forward to this cruise-
My first meet last week and this wil be my first cruise! mad!

Its for a Great cause as well!!

C u all there!

I mean all of u! lets bring up the number!!!

I'm in! The RCH fundraiser is a great idea.

I like the poll u set up Mikey. On one hand, you know how many have confirmed. On the other hand, people who aren't coming will probably not bother checking the "no" box.

I'll be there.

If I'm not mistaken Mikey, the $5 is to cover the food and drink, so we should bring along another $5 (or more) for the charity?

that's right, $5 includes food and drinks only... So everyone, please dig deep into your pockets and bring some spare gold coins (or notes) to show your support for a great cause!

Big thumbs up to the following who have already confirmed their interest for this event:

sxcfto (toni)

I'm already a square (computer geek / nerd, or whatever you want to
call it), can I come anyway?

I'll be there if I hitch a ride with scracy. Great cause for our money to go to and even though we don't need it, great excuse for a 'CRUISE'

Hey, might be a stupid question, but is this cruise for FTOs only? Or is Mike arranging the FTO section of this for a bigger cruise?

This question has been asked before and the simplest answer is this:

Although we appreciate other cars, these cruises, events and meets are about celebrating the passion we have for the FTO specifically, not all cars in general.

Having said that, we openly and warmly welcome all people, even if they don't have a FTO, as long as they understand this day is about the FTO and as long as they are coming because they are passionate about the FTO, or because they want to find out more information about it.

If you just wanted to come because of the cruise, and not the FTO, then I'd suggest this is not the best situation, as we are all a little "one-eyed" when it comes to the FTO.

The focus of the day will be the FTO. This includes things like photos and sharing information etc. These events are a great resource for information and a fun social event, but if you don't have a FTO, your car probably won't be in the photos and if you are not there after the information, you could feel left out.

So if you are genuinely interested in the FTO, then you are genuinely welcome.

Definitely not welcome are any wankers with "size issues" who are out to prove their car is better. These events are about celebrating the FTO not "my car is better than yours" crap.

I won't be going to this one, because my car is cursed...

Driving to work this morning when a guy in a XR ute ran a red light and T-boned me... Only had my car back from the panel beaters for 2 days
