Great FUN

At uni it used to be the place to go if your bored (being right next door). One time my mate took his FJ40 through the dipper at 45km and got it on two wheels...

Hey Mister Oracle

I am keen to join in the shennanegans. I don't know what is happening that far in the future but I'll say yes at the moment.

aceman · Sep 28th, 2005, 12:05 PM

Gee I dont know guys I might not be able to make it

Here to Canberra is an easy 3hrs, sticking to the speed limit and with a stop or two.

Here to Newcastle is between 3- 3.5 hrs depending on traffic and direction. I suggest going via bells and then via Berrowra Ferry (this is the way I went for the first drive in my mcs, the day I bought it!!!).

But yeah I'm in, shame I live too close now, not enough driving

You could always meet us in Sydney and make sure we don't get lost.

aceman · Sep 28th, 2005, 11:17 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

32012km

Hello Simon!

Mr Oracle. My money box and I would like to attend.

AndrewH · Sep 30th, 2005, 01:25 PM

Okie dokie guys, names added

aceman · Sep 30th, 2005, 11:21 PM

Sorry guys I wont be able to attend the blue mountains run.

But I was going to suggest a BBQ at our place for sunday lunch. Then we can show you some of the local roads

Cheers,

Scott

MikeKom · Oct 2nd, 2005, 09:01 AM

I'd be interested in coming along.

I haven't had my EB/MCS for too long and this might be a good oportunity to get a descent drive in.

ps. We met at the German Autofest.

G'day Mike - welcome to Mini2

I've added your name to the list

minigolf · Oct 5th, 2005, 01:53 AM

Hmm, I've just realised that I either need to be bothered enough to drive to Sydney over two consecutive weekends, or we add the Motor Show to the list of things to do on this drive.

That sounds like a fine idea - you guys can go off to the Motor Show and have dinner whilst I go to my 10 year reunion

minigolf · Oct 5th, 2005, 02:27 AM

Only hitch is that it would be better to get to the Motor Show earlyish, midday or thereabouts, to avoid the crowds. Which would mean an early start to go via Nowra.

If your wanting to go early, that's fine by me. Stu, Tit and Mike any thoughts?

meinamini · Oct 5th, 2005, 03:54 AM

So, what time and where on the Sunday morning @ lurvely downtown Richmond?

AndrewH · Oct 5th, 2005, 04:02 AM

Some time around 10:30 maybe

minigolf · Oct 5th, 2005, 04:09 AM

Hmm, I wanna go to the Motor Show on Friday, Saturday will be a waste, no matter what time we got there. I was confused and thought this was a Friday/Saturday drive, but I was wrong.

*starts thinking of a new plan*

minigolf · Oct 10th, 2005, 03:16 AM

Spose we better think of accomodation for the Saturday night. www.wotif.com etc

I will be going to the Motor Show at Darling Harbour at some stage on Saturday too.

I'm going to try and organise to stay with one of my friends. I might have to tag along with you to the Motor Show if I don't end up getting free tickets
