Trinimini..is this true?

[InDeForest]

People drive onto this beach every weekend, usually it's 4x4 pickups. The signs are sometimes criticised as being small, but they are strategically placed in two spots of the 'carpark' in such locations so that if you do not see the signs, your eyesight must be so poor that you should not be driving an automobile. It's too bad that an automobile club has to get a bad name due to the action of a few.
There may not presently be any nests where these minis drove and parked, but there will be.
The western north coast beaches are not known for leatherback nesting, and public awareness of such nesting is low, but there has been such a drastic increase in leatherback nests observed there over the last few years that the time has come to make the appeal to the public to refrain from driving on the beaches there during nesting season. Las Cuevas is popular for 4x4 enthusiasts to go down the mud trail and drive along the beach to lime, but it is also now hugely popular with nesting leatherbacks! I put up the signs last year at Las Cuevas and Damiens bay after seeing the Red Bull van drive onto and park on top of several very visible and obvious leatherback nests, and proceed to setup some tents and jam music for the rest of the afternoon as part of some event put on by Tribe. The signs were removed when nesting season was over, and reinstalled recently for the March-August season.
Please remember leatherbacks are a critically endangered species, and we are lucky to have them. Please respect the scene.

I've been to this particular beach on 4 occasions before both in and outside of nesting season and of those times there were 3 occasions where these 'dudes' with lifted Hiluxes would cross the river, drive on the beach before parking to surf and party on the sand. After an example is made of the Mini club, I am thinking this behaviour is going to stop.......right?

Driving a mini is probably enough punishment for these infidels.

Don't take this the wrong way but the way you are coming off is that other people have done it so it makes it ok that the mini club did it.

That's a very stupid stance to take, a public apology will suffice and if you all are really contrite, use your club and affiliates to educate the wider masses as to the issues caused, use your own experience to work with.

two wrongs don't make a right...

I would have thought that as aficionados of a classic car those chaps would not have wanted their precious collector cars to be exposed to salt etc.

Poor judgement there miniguys....

"Turtle Wax" comes to my mind.... I don't know why...LOL

[Rooki3]

i expressed my disgust with this club on d boards already, they annoys the life outta me with their stupud convoys, is that even legal?

dais y i always cut een & make it my biz to disrupt their phaggot motorcade

[FullStop]

Drinking you say?
Whoa..... now seeing this,
I would like to personally extend apologies on behalf of my fellow Trinimini members if any harm was indeed done.

It is unfortunate that this issue has made it this far, I can vouch for the fact that members always consider the importance of their club's image on every run that is undertaken, and may have had a lapse in judgement on this occasion.

The club executive is engaged in a meeting on the issue and will soon have their press release and apology published.

this is how far it needed to reach for you to take notice, so if you learned from your mistake then its not unfortunate, is it?

[speedmelter]

maybe they thought that their cars were leatherbacks.. they sorta share a resemblance hehe

[AllTrac]

i honestly think the only people interested in those cars anyway are the owners themselves, so these occasional motorcades are nothing but a bother and inconvenience to the public, these cars are barely head turners and mini doesnt not make you smile it makes you LOL.

Everyone have their own taste in cars man just like how someonay like a miata I hate the dam sheit and wish all blow up so dem cars does make d owners happy and daz why dey buy d car altho each one of them does look like mr.bean driving one it doesnt hurt to laugh a bit..and they are head turners ive seen some of these cars push impressive speeds already

[AllTrac]

we talking about cars here? cause I dont consider them anything close tot he realm of cars. We need to find a name for that method of mobility some choose.

[Hook]

Food for thought.

Was it a sanctioned Trinimini motorcade, or just a few enthusiasts within the club doing their own thing?
If it were a few lancers, a Sportero, an Evo or two and an Airtrek on the sand, would the mitsu club get flack for it?

Granted the general train of thought is that you represent your club at all times, why should Trinimini management apologise? Because by that same mathematics, Duane should apologize when some of you misrepresent the website, but ya don't see that happening.
Consider that.
