Members of SA Supra are specifically invited to attend the .....(this taken from the NS.com forum some of the "driving instructions" are specifically for their younger members"

ANNUAL BEN SIMPSON MEMORIAL CRUISE

On the 1st Feb 2010 it will be 5yrs since we lost our much loved Ben (dr1ft_pig13). To celebrate his life and membership of this forum we hold an annual memorial cruise, we usually raise money for an associated charity. This year have planned it differently, we will NOT be collecting/asking for donations (the cruise maps will be provided free).

If you have lost a someone recently (no matter how they died) and wish to cruise in their honour please buy a wide ribbon in their favourite colour, write their name on it & attach it to your windscreen wiper.

As this event is always held very close to the anniversary of Ben leaving us it is a difficult time & we ask you to respect our wishes in relation to this cruise/event.

•It will be a relatively short (approx 1.5hrs) leisurely paced cruise, it will pass across the hills face but there will be no intense windy/slider type roads.
•There will be only one cruise group, slowest & fastest all in the same group.
•If your intention was to come & slide....stay home.
•It your car is currently defected & by reasons of the defect unable to be driven, don't bring it.
•As we will not be collecting any $$ it will not be classified as a "charity cruise", therefore I can not write letters for permits
ALL types of cars and drivers are most welcome.

The cruise will be concluding at a GO KART track where Softy will be accepting challengers in the HT.net Grand Prix. This is where you can display your driving "skills" - for those who want to go karting it will cost a max of $25 for 15 laps (10mins).

Come and join us remember those who have left this world long before their time.

DATE: SAT 30TH JANUARY 2010
TIME: 6PM MEET for a 7PM CRUISE START
WHERE: CNR GOLDEN GROVE ROAD & JACK HIGH LANE RIDGEHAVEN
(in the currently closed waterworld car park)

Thanks for your kind words...it may not be so big this year as there will be no permit cars....that means alot of guys in the drift scene wont/can't attend....plus it is advertised as a MUCH more relaxed "easy" drive this year....there will still be a couple of hundred cars, not the 380-450 like last yr.

KARTING:
If you are planning to go karting (at the end of the cruise) please chuck a pair of closed toe shoes & sensible clothing in your car...if you have a full face helmet, bring that too.

ON THE CRUISE:
As you are now aware, this year we have invited everyone who has lost someone close to them to tie a ribbon on their car and cruise in that persons honour.... if they wish.

2 weeks ago there was a horrific accident near Wlliamstown, which claimed 4 lives incl 3 very young kids (Logan Inglis aged 7, Claudia Inglis aged 10 their mother Melania Inglis aged 40 and family friend Georgia Pearce aged 10)....for reasons that will be made clear on the cruise, they now have very special places in our hearts.

Old Jules and I will display an additional 4 coloured ribbons on our R32 (you may wish to do the same, any 4 ribbons together...NO obligation)

Hope you can join us.

OLD Jules & Mark
