Default 54 SC's supercruise Melbourne

We had 54 SCs in Geelong last weekend, roughly half were twin turbo 2.5 litre and half V8. SC300s are rare in Australia. One well know personality got pulled over by the cops for doing 111 mph in a 60 mph zone! Instant loss of licence for 1 year - in Victoria only - not so bad when your from interstate! (no it wasn't me).
It was a great cruise that went all day, some of the passengers reckoned the drivers "were going too fast" - I guess now and again the cruise does turn into bit of a sprint when there is a twin turbo in front and behind and the road is to die for.
Next big meet is probably Easter next year at Wagga - over a hundred there I reckon.
When we get this many cars together I don't know where to start, matching up new faces to names (no nicknames on ALSC so one less thing to remember when meeting someone in real life), catching up with old mates - so many cars to look at, so much to do and say.
I've attached one photo from the meet. There are some more on

Its kind of neat that people over here are putting Soarer badges on their Lexus while Soarer owners are putting Lexus badges on their cars.

Bautiful pics Pete! Wish I had the time to go to the West Coaster, oh well, hopefully something crops up in mid January next year, because I'll be definitely up for it!

Who got busted.. was it Neil? I didn't hear about this one on ALSC!

I thought states communicated with each other these days, and bad stuff in other states counts on your home state licence???

I also thought that far over the limit and they throw you in the slammer?

Wow as always an awesome meet and great turn out (well except the ticket). Good luck at the next one also.


I thought Rob Hayden was the only one to carry a plastic box full of car care products in the boot ALL THE TIME. Wrong! Ian Wood does too. Woody thinks it's normal. I counted at least 5 different types of polish - sheesh!
Funny thing lol I do too. I keep everything except the bucket and water in the trunk all the time.
