Message: <blockquote data-quote="fabianyee" data-source="post: 456384" data-attributes="member: 6">I think I didn't make it clear enuf, the no overtaking was from kia forte club...As for the Audi,VW group convoy I went to in my E30, it was open to all... drive it like u stole it... I misquoted by saying the convoy spread over 1-2km, i think it was more like 10km on the trunk road between the 1st car and last car. That trip had about 30 cars including those from S'pore.. On another East Coast trip organised by Club Audi (or rather VAG) which I didn't go, the lead car was a Nissan R34 skyline with a add-on speedo which was giving the wrong speed at above 180kph (stock meter tops up at 180kph). He thot he was going at 210 but in actually fact it was more like 260kph... On the way, there was a big operasi on the other side of the East Coast Highway, and all these Audis, VW and a few Porsches were gunning it at top speed. No one got stopped on that day..However, on the next day(Sunday), the big operasi was waiting for them to head back town.... Some of them took the trunk road back and escaped the ops.Like I said, the kiaForte's rules are a bit overkill but it's always good to have a comprehensive structure to refer to, and then trim it down to what suits us... 1 marshall car for 27 cars is so 'understaffed'.. 1 good ratio should be about 1 marshall car to every 5-8 cars. And marshall cars are also sub-group leaders should the convoy breaks up as they should have walkies to communicate to other marshall cars and lead and sweeper. And speaking of walkies, we should have a group buy for walkies for those who are more active in drives... The Motorola Talkabout was the defacto walkies for a lot of car clubs. But now a lot have switched to the China mali Puxing walkies with much better coverage and not that much more expensive compared to the Motos.</blockquote>
