Well even though i was too drunk on sunday morning to drive my gem, i still attended thanx to matty bywaters who gave me a ride!
What an excellent turnout it was, there was more than 30 Geminis in attendance which was quite a suprise...
there were some real eye catching cars there, a credit to the owners!
I thought it was a great day, with no police interferance, no stupidity on the road, everyone was friendly etc.
The only downside for me was choking on a damn greek olive!! i dont know what i was doing eating one of those, they taste like shit anyway!!
Ah well a top day all round, thanx to dave for organising the cruise and booking the "Dave Room", thanx to matt bywaters for giving me a ride, and thanx to everyone that attended...
cheers,
kev
ps. i got some VERY hi-res/high quality pics of most cars in attendance with the digital camera, so if you would like to get the pics just email me at ksmith@camms.com.au _________________

I guess poor old Adelaide doesn't have the population to sustain a 50-Gemini cruise, Gene.
I was impressed with the quality of the turnout - there were more cleaner cars out - even just stockers with nice rims and stuff - but only a couple had mismatched panels.
One complaint - WHAT'S WITH ALL THE _T_G_'S!!!!
I mean, TGs are fine, but we only had two coupes, one wagon (poor Mooch who's done another bearing) and one panno. MINE! Other than that, about four TX-TC-TD sedans and then about 20 TF/TGs!!! Oh well, a Gemini is a Gemini and I'm appreciative of the turnout.
I reckon the next cruise should go to the drags or something - how about that? More details as they come to hand....

one really close call though i was right at the back of the pack and almost had a laser run straight up my arse. i stopped shitting my self when the squeling stopped and cloud of smoke had passed by. i had only had my car on the road for about 24 hours after being off the road for about 5 months being painted it hadnt even been buffed properly.
for the next cruise I reckon it should be a bit longer though.

This was my frist Gemini cruise that was actually organised a day before it happened.
I thought it was a great day. Lots of great Gems. no cops, no accidents. what a supurb day.
I agree, why so many god dam TGs??? i owned the Red/orange TC with the Pioneer stickers, and thumping stereo.
i was suprised that no one else had a decent stereo to compete with me. ohwell, hopefully now some one will go out and invest in some decent boom bits and give me a go. well, enough of gloating...
all in all a great day, some nice gems, nice rims, nice booty.
gotta have another gem cruise soon!!! great job to who ever organised it. my appluase.

Neway, nice car! Nice stereo, it was good to see ya there even tho i never got to speak with ya

Well, i have now got my Pioneer 12 inch back in... thank god. it is soooo much better than the Clarion. the boot is rearranged and it sounds sooo much sweeter. it would really impress now.
well, i hope to get some competition next cruise or gathering. it will be great.
thanks for your comments. that was my frist Gem cruise and it was good to see some people liked my Gem and the set up. i have invested alot or time and money into the Gem over the past 2 years.
what do you think of a cruise this friday / satday night??? meet at Glenelg car park???
if ya interested let me know.
cheers...
