CRYHSV, my Mrs said she saw LOLFPV(she liked the plate) on saturday with a whole bunch of other Commodores getting around Richmond, like they were on a Poker Run or some sort of Observation Rally. Did they say much about what they were up to yesterday ?
Obviously this has been a two day event for them.

You missed my point, you said can a VL owner cant throw stones ie implying that VL's are rubbish and the owners cannot comment as they own a VL. Same rule applies to any car yours and mine included as yeah we might like em but I'll bet someone doesnt

I went to last years Cruise for Charity - started from Homebush. I have to agree with your thoughts on the mentality - as I drove into the car park in my ED XR6 I copped the same sort of comments but after I met peoples passengers who were Ford fans - brightened up my day haha

Its a free-for-all to join cruise and its for chairty, some douches just take the Commodore bit too seriously
