Was a good night, pretty big turnout. As my first E-series cruise, I was pretty impressed, will definately head to more.

Plenty of nice cars there, LowXR, EDGHIA, TICK4RD and a blue EL supercharged 5 liter were the standouts for me (not sure about peoples names, sorry!).

PRetty sure two or three people got pulled over by cops, but overall it was a great night.

Will post up some pics soon, though they're not the best.

Yeah it was a good cruise, I got majorly lost for the majority of the night, YES we we're lost, finally caught up to the group again at Chelsea. Happy cruising guys.

Mr crackers are you drunk, or are you still scared. :P Nah it was good, we spoke to an undercover and he was really nice, just wanted to know what was going on.

Where the hell did you guys go??

He followed me back to the group. I took off like a bat out of hell down in front of DFO, and I almost came back to you guys when I saw the lights. Where the hell did he come from?? I thought he was gunna nab me for something, so instead of going out of DFO, i decided to drive to the group, where he would be more intimidated. He probably woulda r4ped me if i went out onto the main road.

They got out of the car, and asked us for our licenses/regos. So almost everyone from the group lined up and handed over their license.

Was a good cruise.

i recon was a great cruise, im spewing that i wasnt driving but i was on the booz wagon last night so i played it safe, alot of new faces tonights which was good to see and some very popular cars came out and showed there faces, my fav car of the night was the burgendy ED ghia with the chrome around the doors and gauges, that was absolutly awsome, very nice machine you have there who ever you were

its a shame it was cold even thow i wasnt really feeling it but very nice non the less, good to catch up with people and chat i like it

very glad to see people taking it easy like it was a cruise, we didnt have much trouble at all with behaviour

i was a little scared about moorabbin, simple cause i know last few times iv been around there, theres alot of security and police around there depending on the day, but there smart and checked around but they were all ok, glad to see alot of people coperating(spelling) with the police, sorry for that little fault fellas but no harm was done

mscrackers - scared ...smared, no one caused trouble, and we didnt get trouble, we had alot of police come up to us at meet points alot of the times but they were good cops, were gona get cops ethir way you look at it, if your cars sound, theres nothing you got to be scared off honestly, your safe with e-series ;)

LOWXR - pm for when you want the photos of your car, they came out really good

Damo - if i had a dollar for mount of times you got lost id end cancer, world hunger and polution

hope everyone enjoyed cruise around with E-series for the First Cruise for 2007 with plenty more cruises to follow, i hope to see alot more people show there faces on upcoming cruises and events as we pump out some more amazing cruises

if anyone wants to add opinions, comments, complaints or interest for tonights cruise, please feel free to add me to msn, pm me or send me an emial

Was an awesome cruise heaps of new faces which is good to see, well done to jjm and adz for organising.

Yags that was a very stupid reason to come back to the group cause you got scared you were doing something stupid you deserved to get nabbed for what you told everyone was 140km in a 70km zone thats just stupid and your always complaining about other people doing stupid things on cruises.

Other than that issue mad cruise guys!!

It was my first Falcon meet last night after many years with the Commodore persuasion. I was driving the Blue EL XR6 with the rooted paint. Didn't end up cruising as I had something else on, but I was amazed at the quality of some of the cars.

Anyhow, you guys have inspired me modification wise so I'll be back later on this year with a fresh coat of paint and some other enhancements.

No idea where he came from. I pulled into the car park behind you guys and he was behind me and started flashing his lights, so I pulled into the servo and he took off past me and caught up with Sunny. After he spoke to Sunny and told him to **** off we made the decision to head home.

I have only seen "WPN" number plates on Commodores, looks good on a Ford...........

Looks a bit cold..................lol



Where did the cruise go to - each point to point?

And I will put money on it that you didnt tell the owner of this car that chrome wheels are out?



Awesome Photo of it and its a very Nice Looking Car - cant say I have seen it before.........
