Hi Everyone,

Like the title says, clubMINI is going to Putty!

This one-day run is jam-packed with the kind of twisty roads that the MINI was built for. If you love driving your car on bendy country roads, this is the run for you! Starting at Cowan, we will work our way north via the Old Pacific Highway, stopping for a quick break in Wollombi. We will then continue travelling north to Broke where we will then find MINI heaven – Putty Road! This is an exceptional road, nice and bendy with a surface as smooth as glass.

We will stop for a break at the Halfway Roadhouse in Howes Valley, where you can purchase your lunch, before heading homeward across the Sackville Ferry and through the deliciously windy Galston Gorge, finishing the drive at Hornsby.

Start Pie in the Sky Cafe, Pacific Hwy Cowan. Park your car on the grass area behind the boat.

Time: 9.00am to meet and greet and have a pie and coffee infusion
9.15am briefing
9.30am depart

Cost: Free. Buy your own lunch.

To Register: drop an email to events@nsw.clubmini.com.au

Coordinator: If you require further information, contact me via PM or Email: treasurer@nsw.clubmini.com.au

Points to note:

1) The roads we will be travelling on are all sealed, except for 600 metres of relatively decent gravel road just north of Wollombi. Take care and keep your distance from the car in front to ensure that your pride and joy is not damaged.

2) If you have access to a UHF radio, bring it along.

3) Please ensure that you top up with fuel at the nearest service station to our start point, you WILL need a FULL tank of fuel for the day. There are very few service stations where we are going and none of them carry premium. (If you are coming from the south, top up at Mt Colah. If you are coming from the north, the closest fuel is at Kariong).

4) Please familiarise yourself with the clubs drive day etiquette guidelines. They can be found here

So, who is gonna join me? (....again)

Ahh good one Karen. As long as they are treating you right one Sunday a month is nothing

[FL00DY]

Is there space on this run for a VW? I'm probably getting my GTI on Friday or Saturday. So even if I hang at the back of the pack whilst I get used to the car and bed brakes. I would love to do this run.

"Scarlett" if your lazy a*se husband gets a new windscreen! Scarlett's crack is due to following too closely on the last Putty Run!

Unless its that bad, I would leave it until after this run. You will definately get a few more on the day.

G'Day all ,
Thought I would tag along with you guy's on Sunday , will be my first run since I got my Mini . Had to leave the Birthday at Homebush Bay early than expected so I didn't get the chance to meet up with most of you . By the sounds of things some of you have travelled this route before and still carry scars like a crack windscreen "Scarlett" . Wonder what the cost is replacing a windscreen ! is these days ?

Well, we have discovered that we don't have the additional windscreen cover with NRMA, so it will cost us $500 excess Mind you, as soon as we have had the windscreen replaced, we will be adding the windscreen option to both of our cars. We have also had the OziCozi put on both cars, but will make sure we keep our distance from the car in front of us this time too!!

No doubt, we will see you there!

[snoozing]

Count me in

It's Stunt Girls birthday too, so shower her Golf in presents

Is there any meet ups in Sydney first? I'll be coming from South....

[PPE]

so how much does a new ws cost then Avril, I'm still waiting to hear back from them as to whether they will cover it under warranty, but would like to be prepared in the event of a heart attack inducing shock.
