Hello Everyone,As someone who went to JAFS every year when it was at T.T.P and waited all year for this event as previously one of if not the biggest car meet and cruise in Australia, going to the recent jaf's really showed how much that has fallen apart since the cruise officially "stopped".
Given JAFS history and how it began it didn't seem right to try and take on the name or reorganise the event and take anything away from the original organisers, but I feel the day needs some organisation again and with that will be looking to start the Harbour To Coast - Meet & Cruise.
The recent JAFS essentially seemed to just be outer harbour to Semaphore on repeat until people got bored and went home while the meets were poorly planned and people leaving long before the "organised" time made it no longer a cruise aswell as the Semaphore esplanade giving too much opportunity to Sapol for defects etc..
We'll be looking to retain the outer harbour to Semaphore route because it's great seeing everyone parked up spectating along the way and enjoying the cars but will be a new starting point aswell as new route, mid way point and end point after the outer harbour/Semaphore run.
The meet in short form will be as below -
Boxing Day - December 26th
- Begin at Gepps X Home HQ
- Cruise to/along Outer harbour/Semaphore Esplanade
- Military Rd to Westfield West Lakes (Mid-Way Meet)
- Military Rd to Glenelg (Back Of Wrigley Reserve)
- Anzac Hwy/Brighton Rd/Lonsdale Rd to Pt Noarlunga
- Weatherald Tce esplanade to Moana Beach Tourist Park
- Griffiths Rd/Main South Rd/Southern Expressway to Collonades (End Meet)
Total Cruise length 2 hours (+Congestion at Semaphore and mid way stop)
Timeline will be approx as below -
- Meet at Gepps X HQ @ 3:30pm
- Leave at 4:30pm
- Meet at Westfield West Lakes @ 5:30pm
- Leave at 6:30pm
- Meet at Collonades @ 8:00
- Leave when you like.
This route allows plenty of scenic beach driving, retains the current Semaphore esplanade for spectator viewing and also allows plenty of dual lane roads to allow cars to stretch their legs a bit between esplanades with more opportunity for spectator viewing in Noarlunga along the coast while also being the perfect balance for those both in the North & South to come along for the day.
For family's bringing kids there is also the amazing Jubilee Park in Port Noarlunga which you could stop at and let the kids stretch their legs skipping the end loop and then join back up at Collonades end point.
Lets bring all the different cars back together again and bring back the best boxing day cruise in Australia.
