Social / Cruises

Social car club events and car cruises around Adelaide and the Adelaide hills.

B'Day Cruise 2015

The cruise started at Munno Para Maccas, there were only a couple of us to start with after a short stop off at Castle Plaza Maccas we picked up a few extra cars. The majority of the members had their family sedans out for the day but that didn't stop the fun.

During the trip we cruised through two of the best hill climb stages South Australia has to offer before stopping in at Middleton for lunch. Lunch at the bakery consisted of good food and a lot of laughs between friends.

After lunch the cruise went on to Melba's Chocolate Factory in Woodside for some sweet treats and some more laughs. A few people chose to leave from here but most continued on to end the day at Cafe Verde via Gorge Rd.

It was quite a long cruise with good scenery, and luckerly for us the weather was perfect for the outing.

Touge Alliance 2012 Christmas Party

It was Saturday 1st December at 4pm & the annual Touge Alliance Christmas party was about to launch.

This was the 1st year the event had been moved from Gorge Road and was being held at Federation Park, Gumeracha.

The days weather was sensational & the park provided great facilities for cricket, football, dancing & general tom-foolery.

We had many Touge members come along bringing friends & family to enjoy the fact that Santa was coming.

TOUGE ALLIANCE DYNO DAY #2

It was the 2nd of June & it was still dark outside when I set off for the wonderful land of Dyno's (was still very sleepy).

I arrived at 6:30am to meet the "keen" ones at McDonald's South Road (across from Castle Plaza). After chowing down on some greasy goodness, we mosied onto our gracious host Ashley of Classic Performance Dyno Centre.

With the numbers looking grim we rolled off at 8am, but by 9am we had 13 cars.

OLD SKOOL N NEW AGE AUTO SHOW touge alliance wins first trophy

Yesterday our club had an outstanding achievement. Touge Alliance went home with it's first trophy.

Touge Alliance was involved in the 2012, Old Skool N New age Auto Show at Morphett Vale Football Club Oval.

We all started off by getting together and meeting up at Macca's on South Road at 6am, YES 6am.

With everyone turning up and Marcus Cepon with his car on a trailer (extra thanks goes to him, who worked extremely hard to get his car out yesterday), we were off. Down Main South Road till we got to the football club, where we pulled over and got our entrant stickers on our cars.

After a lot of talking and planning for a wile, we then started to move our cars into their final positions to start off our display. Complete with Jared's Gazebo, uniforms and our Touge Alliance banners designed by August, we were looking good.
