Very nice video and very nice editing
. That video looked more fun to be in than the actual one. That car accident on H. Hughes basically wrecked our cruise--its the major cause of stop and go traffic on the 405.

hmmmm maybe it would have been a good idea to split the group into two smaller groups with two different leaders both on a set route together ... and also have walkie talkies for the leader, one car in the middle and another at the ends of the two separate groups as well ... could manage a cruise a LOT easier then ... i used to have a Mazda6 and that's what we used ot do on Mazda cruises ...

Excellent idea! The first cruise to Laguna was about 30 cars and that was a challenge even though we just went from Anaheim to Laguna. We pulled that off. However, I think you are right in that we have to get team leaders for big cruises like that and split up. Also, I learned my lesson about night cruises and also about directions. Couldn't do anything about the traffic. Live and learn

I watched football all day which is why I haven't chimed in yet (my 'Boys just kicked Washington's *** btw 8)). Anyways, last night's cruise was a joke. Sorry but there is no 2 ways about it. I fell a little bit behind the main pack and by the time I was able to get into the open, everyone was gone. Peggy and I were scratching our head's trying to figure out how we just lost a pack of G's/Z's. We missed the transition onto the 605. So we ended up cruising alone all the way to Sunset when we finally ran into a few other G's that also got lost and had to cruise alone. This cruise was very disorganized and what should have been an awesome night was nothing but frustrating. Luckily I live in Hollywood or it would have been worse. Hai's rules for a cruise are right on. The way we did it for the Labor Day cruise was a perfect example of the way it should be done. Props to shirog35 (Bobby) for organizing and leading that cruise. Him and I lead the cruise and if he or I saw that the pack got seperated or caught at a light, we slowed down or pulled over. We kept a steady pace and never just took off without regard for the rest of the pack behind us. Also having a designated person at the back of the pack updating the front is also a great idea. Needless to say, last nights cruise was fun for a whole 10-15 minutes. Next time we need to have more than one person organize the cruise, have a planned route printed out and handed out to everyone and stick to it. The point of a cruise is to be able to cruise together as a pack and enjoy the experience and site of all those G's/Z's together. That didn't happen last night . . . .

Sorry to you and MissHustler for being left out. I feel like giving you guys a hug or somethin'...
. You can be a team leader the next time we roll that deep as we will have to split the group. Since things seem to be getting bigger I hope you will take me up on that. It's true..I lackthe experience on the big cruises so your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the suggestions. I have taken notes and promise that the next cruise will be more organized and just as exciting (barring any traffic delays)! The next one you definitely don't want to miss....if you are not on the email list then PM Me ....I will notify the list first and get advice and suggestions. Then I will post it on the forums.

I will definitely take you up on that offer onyx. I am always more than willing to help out and do my part to make our meets/cruises as fun as possible. We should get a couple of more people to help out too but we can talk about that when the time is right. You already have my e mail address btw. Just hit me up with your plans/ideas for the next cruise so that we can plan/organize in advance.
BTW, anyone that hasn't done it yet needs to register at www.socalg35.com. This site was set up for this exact reason. It's our own SoCal forum where we can organize our meets and get to know each other better. We have a big BBQ coming up soon and we will need help with that too. Hai is organizing that meet but all help is appreciated to make this an awesome BBQ that hopefully will be better than our last BBQ.
