Being a Let’s Go Cruisin’s Cruiser. What’s it all about?
Formed in 2005 by a
small team of car enthusiasts, LGC is not your regular car club. The couples
that make up our small team causes us to bring a different perspective
to our events and activities. The LGC team objective is to host enjoyable, low cost events with a cruisin’
theme for the enjoyment of all pre’ 75 chrome bumper car owners, families &
friends. By working to keep events simple, we get to enjoy them too.
But we do see real value in building strong relationships with car enthusiasts that like our way of doing things and want to participate in our activities regularly.
As a result, we created the LGC Cruiser program back in 2007 that allows car enthusiasts a greater degree of involvement with LGC without having to do anything other than participate when your able to. It works a lot like most reward programs. The LGC team do the work necessary to host events and our Cruiser subscriber’s gives us confidence to plan new and better events. We aim to return the favour by offering Cruisers extra benefits when subscribing each year. The more events you come along to, the greater the benefit you’re likely to receive. Put simply, our Cruiser program is aimed at giving you the opportunity to get a little more involved in our activities, and all you have to do is enjoy yourselves.
By rewards we mean:
- Free entry in the annual Grand Prize draw [ see below for the details]
- Free entry to the Peninsula Cruise Night
- Cruiser only cash prize draws at all our events
- Deals and discounts on sponsors products and services
- Invitations to Cruiser only events
What’s involved in becoming a Cruiser?
When signing up as a Cruiser you are not joining a car club. It operates as a ‘rewards’ program with no obligations or responsibilities on your part when subscribing for a year. It’s all about the benefits you can obtain when attending any of our events, what level of discounted purchases you make from our sponsors or how lucky you are in the many Cruiser prize draws we conduct.
How much does it cost?
There is no joining fee, just an annual subscription fee of $20.00. Subscriptions fall due on the 30th June each year, there is no pro-rata discount.
What do I get when I join?
- A Cruiser ID card used to identify you as a Cruiser at our events
- A Cruiser window sticker for the current year to display on your ride
- Information about current sponsors deals
How do I join up?
To become a LGC Cruiser is easy, just download a copy of the application form, complete it and bring it along to one of our events and Kerin Duyvestyn will help you process your application and you’ll get to go home with your Cruiser pack. Or mail in your application and we’ll get you processed and mail back your Cruiser pack. Place the window sticker on your car and you’re away. If you have more than one car you’d like to bring to our events, just let Kerin know and she’ll arrange extra window stickers.

Deals & discounts from our Sponsors
We trust that you’ll more than recover the annual cost of being a Cruiser by taking advantage of the discounts offered by some of our business supporters.
As a Cruiser, you have access to significant discounts when purchasing ACDelco products. Everything from a new battery to a rebuilt LS engine. The brand provides products for a wide range of makes & models. These are exclusively available through the spare parts counter at Bay City Auto Group located at 140 Dandenong Rd West Frankston.

They carry are large range of products on site or can arrange delivery. Give them a try as the discounts are considerable and the products are all great quality.
Club Permit Registration
Your Cruiser subscription does not provide access to VicRoad’s club permit registration. We have assisted many LGC Cruisers on how to go about obtaining club permit registration with organizations that are able provide it. Just ask in person or via email. Most of our own cars are permitted by membership of the Australian Street Rod Federation.
Cruisers without pre ’75 cars
It is not a pre requisite that to join us as a Cruiser subscriber that you own a pre’75 car. We want to encourage participation in our favourite hobby and understand that many
enthusiasts may have sold their pre’75 car, be building a new car or just want to learn more about our hobby with the intent of acquiring a pre’75 car. As a Cruiser without a pre’75 car in your garage, you can still enjoy the many of the benefits we offer, including discounts from our sponsors, free lucky entrant’s ticket at our monthly Cruise Night, entry in special Cruiser prize draws at our bigger events. However, if the car you come along in, does not meet our pre ‘75 entry guidelines, please understand that your Cruiser status does not guarantee the entry of your car to that event.
The Fine Print - There's always some!
Let's Go Cruisin' reserves the right to not accept any application and to terminate the arrangement at anytime. The annual fee will be refunded upon the return of the ID card within 14 days of being advised, that your Cruiser benefits have been cancelled.
