okay here i have some proposed routes - NB both drives are proposed for clockwise travel ie up the old road, through peats ridge........ then newcastle then down the coast

version 1 was my original version.... is good and long and bumpy... not good for those lowered peeps....

route 2 is the second option, plus bumble hill is supposed to be the shiznits.... i'm gonna cruise this for myself by sunday

let me know what you all think!!!

stops havn't been included, i figure we can work on those as need be

 

[twilightprotege]

winding roads sound best for me if it's dry - if it's wet i dont really wanna go that way (i'm already pretty close to slicks)

 

[sabrelli]

Andy,
Looks like those new bigger size falkens are on its way soon!

 

[twilightprotege]

they sure are a mate of mine with a 200SX is getting new tyres soon so we're going to try and get a deal for two sets at once (different sizes though)

 

[Critter]

I can tell you wiredone won't be there

car is at the smash repairers andwill be for a few weeks.

Nothing too dramatic......

 

[20OMZ]

hello cruze organises.... i will meet up with you some where along the route that your going to if i can get my car back to respectable.... this would be a gr8 way to get to know all of you... i have only been to sydney once b4 and i seen alot of protege's done up so maybe a few will come and join in.... i will let you know in a weks time if im deffently coming or not...

i hope things go to plan it sounds like a lot of fun

 

[Snert]

Brisbane Cruisers

Cool

Anthor one from Brisbane maybe

hey & welcome to 20OMZ hope we can confirm a 3rd

 

[twilightprotege]

yeah tricky, we'd prob meet you at warwick if you're coming down...but if you're car is not so go, you can come along with me

 

[ahb11m]

ok the brewery opens for lunch at 12, and closes at 3..... i think we will probably get there about 12ish anyway,(after breaks, and traffic etc....)

haha, the grass by the brewery is council land ie it ain't happening....
http://www.qwb.com.au/
umm there is meter parking next to the brewery, otherwise, we can take a stroll.... a bit over 500 metres (sorry smokers, we will die doing that walk...)

parking can't really be guaranteed (but terrigal will be easy)

oh yeah i jsut drove there... this cruise will take roughly 4.5 hours on the raod and will travel over about 325 km all up, (unless your andrew, as this will take about 24 hours over 1900 km...)

bookings are essential for the numbers.... and we must really make deadline at 7:30pm friday the 23rd of January

by the way the roughest bit of road we go on is a bad patch through forresters beach to terrigal, it can be avoided by going on gravel.... section lasts about 2km.... so we can take it slowly through there.... how are we on speed humps?

 

[ahb11m]

oh did i mention 13 tap beers, and 45 beers all up??

did i mention i'm now catching the train !!

 

[Critter]

Thanks James
Can manage the run to terrigal, was there a few months ago, plenty parking there but hard to get a decent all-cars pic the way it is.

Speed humps....just

 

[coolsp]

oh well im out. my car was caught in hailstorm at shellharbour square. the only reason i went out was to get oil to do a bloody service on the car. the roof looks like bloody orange peel and the bonnet looks like i drove through a driving range. so as you could gather i am not happy. gets assessed this week which means take wheels off, put old springs in and put old air filter back in. better to be safe than sorry.

 

[twilightprotege]

you shouldnt have to worry about the other mods unless they write it off (unlikely). i wouldnt worry about changing them over.

on a slightly better note - my car is all nice and polished for road trip

 

[Critter]

Damn, coolsp.

I'd be spitting chips. Only gets better from here I guess.

I really do feel for you moit.

 

[Snert]

that just sucks coolsp

hope its a quick turn around to get it back on the road

 

[BRAD BESANT]

Hi
I live in Newcastle and was planning on joining you for the drive as I could meet you at Thornleigh Maccas because Im staying in Sydney on Friday night.
I could be at McDonalds at about 9-9:30 if that is ok

 

[Critter]

Sure thing, would be EXCELLENT to have you along
Closer to 9.00am is best.

Go to www.astina gt.com and say hello there at the "source" and book a lunch at the brewery if you want to join in that

 

[ahb11m]

critter: - we need minimum of 10 to book!!
i'm upping it to 32....

brad, good to have you along, yeah i'm meeting down there, but live half way..... if your interested in cruisses go over to astina gt.com if you want technical stuff stay here!!!

coolsp: damn there was me complaining that i had a scrape on mine, try and come up, if not then get a lift with someone, would be good to see ya!!!
