Sydney Meet - Hunter Valley Day

gucci · 05-16-2007, 11:39 PM

Sorry All

I am coming from the Eastern Suburbs, hence, I use Harbour Tunnel then keep on the motorway until I get to Windsor turn-off. Perhaps we could meet at Windsor at 9am?

I am open to suggestions.

But that leaves me only 15 minutes to play in the playground.

So are we doing the Putty Road all the way to The Hunter Valley or Singleton??

Cheers.

I am happy anywhere, any distance.

Though, let's choose a place that allows all of us to attend.

Cheers.

You forgot Gucci, so it's looking like 7 something now! Which is damn impressive.
I don't particularly care where i have to meet everyone, just as long as i get an address which i can put it in my nav system and come find everyone. Preferably not more than an hour from the city

Its off getting the head gasket that was meant to go on before to lower the compression, smaller compressor wheel to run 10psi, re-tune the ECU, new clutch setup

, lsd diff, and nolathane bushes all round.

Where will it stop

I'm going to run it once I get it back and see what I can get

Then decide from there

1q2w3e4r · 05-17-2007, 07:17 PM

Long way from 13 seconds to 10, but it'll be a blast if you were to have a serious go at it.

Good luck out at WSID when you go, don't break anything!

Three in the one car with me unless I deem their wieght a disadvantage.

The long weekend is the 9th. Are we planning for the 2nd?

Cheers.

astra · 05-17-2007, 09:36 PM

yes, planning on the 2nd June (Next month)... i still am unsure about going to the hunter though, i mean, really, we can't do much there... we can't go wine tasting, cos we all have to drive, and meals there are $$$$$$$...

but if everyone still want's to go there, then next cruise we can go somewhere else

has anyone else got sugestions on where we could og that are more driver/cruise/money friendly?

I personally enjoy the drive up the F3 past gosford to some of the more secluded beaches up there, absolutely goregoes as well as top photo ops.
The drive to Palm Beach is also nice...

astra · 05-18-2007, 07:37 PM

what's the road named that goes up through mt victoria?

that's why i love driving up the mountains, the long sweeping bends and higher speed limits

also at the start (the way i go) you get the hairpin bends, it's good

Lol, i've driven it, but have absolutely no idea what it's called!

astra · 05-18-2007, 07:56 PM

ok, new idea people..

because no one seems over enthusiastic about going to teh hunter, and hasn't posted any sugestions or help, then i am sugesting we take a trip over to bathurst, which is something i am sure we can all enjoy

from rouse hill, the drive will take 2 hours, and will take us up the bells line of road, up through Bell and Lithgow

is anyone else open to this?

what: Sydney's first e90post cruise!
when: 2nd June, 9 am for a 9:20 departure
where: Rouse Hill maccas, for a drive over to Bathurst
what to bring: enough petrol, some money for food, and a sensible attitude
