The only 'good' way I can think of getting to Robertson would be to go south through the Royal National Park, down the motorway to Albion Park, and up Macquarie pass as you said. Then perhaps a relaxing cruise home on the Hume in the afternoon...?

Surely there's an 'Old Hume Highway' like the Old Pacific Highway that we can take?? Isn't there a Razorback Mountain or something down that way? I don't know the back roads down there very well...

thoughts anyone?

Tim

So... ummm... Is this the plan then guys? Would suit me fine as I will be in the Gong overnight Sat

FLiPSiDE · Nov 17th, 2002, 07:49 PM

look at this guy goin 2 melbourne meets and too busy for us sydney folk

hehehe

so where are we meeting this one? still at homebush or we just meeting down the coast? i'd rather cruise down there with some minis.. but whatever is fine with me

getting the pipercross CAI / air filter thingoey whatever it is this arvo so my car will b fully sick modded yulleeeh

PS - IML337 prefers the company of men

IML337 · Nov 17th, 2002, 08:14 PM

yeah I guess that's the plan

Meet at homebush P6 in the morning (what time? probably should be no later than 9:30?) hook up with rich somewhere in wollongong (you choose rich) and then go up to the pie shop in robertson

think I'm gonna have to drop out on the 8th though, I've had some important stuff come up

oh, and flipside - guess what... (click here)

clarus · Nov 17th, 2002, 10:36 PM

Perhaps the Canberra dwellers, myself and dsc68, can meet you guys at Robertson? What day is this happening, Sunday 24th?

rich · Nov 17th, 2002, 11:55 PM

Sounds good... Suggest meeting at the car park at the Point Sublime Lookout just off the freeway just before the turnoff for Bulli at about 10.30 Sunday. Does everyone know the way to here?

We can then head to Robertson via Macquarie Pass for a pie lunch... and potential photo call at the legendary Big Potato in Robertson village

Hope this is OK for everybody

FLiPSiDE · Nov 18th, 2002, 12:02 AM

sounds good.. perhaps we should get a list of fone numbers for every1 attending, that way if any1 gets lost, or runnin late etc we're sweet , so PM them 2 me if u like..

just put the pipercross CAI kit on today
looks a treat, makes the car go a little better i think.. hard 2 tell in this hot weather.. will give more conclusive analysis (and pics) later

IML337 · Nov 18th, 2002, 12:49 AM

Clarus: yes, it's Sunday the 24th

Rich: if we go through the national park coming down, we don't go past that place!

Is everyone keen to go thru the royal national park? It's a nice drive, but to be in wollingong by 10:30, going that way, we'd have to kick off pretty early... Otherwise if we just cruise down the F3, it would be a little quicker, but slightly more boring. Either way doesn't bother me. Opinions please!

Can't wait to see the big potato!

Wes: got your message about the pipercross - I'm keen to know how it is. Think I'm gonna buy one too

And if you're impatient, there's pics of a pipercross kit here

Yeah, 10:30 is way too early, it'd mean a departure from Canberra before 8am, which is criminal on a Sunday morning. I'd suggest getting to Robertson no earlier than say 12:30pm.

Sam

rich · Nov 18th, 2002, 04:01 AM

OK... Version 2.0 which allows Sydneysiders to take in the Royal NP and Clarus to have a decent start time

Sydney contingent aim to meet up with me at Bald Hill lookout between Otford & Stanwell Park at around 11.00-11.30 (see below)

Proceed from there via the coast road and onwards to Albion Park via route TBA on the day and then onto Robertson for a rendezvous with Clarus at 12.30

How does that work for everyone?

IML337 · Nov 18th, 2002, 04:20 AM

yep, I know where that is - sounds good

I think we should aim to be leaving P6 at Homebush at about 9:45-10am?

Boo is definitely not a snob, he just likes attending good drives that are well organised and have a good turn out.

Jeez, we can get a drive together in a week. And a drive that Boo will never forget, right Boo?

FLiPSiDE · Nov 18th, 2002, 05:46 AM

EEEK! an outsider! kill the heretic! victooorian!

hahahaha

i could get all catty and remark about how us New south welshmen have lives and cant all meet up at the drop of a hat but that mite get me in trouble so no im not saying that at all

and of course im sure Boo's a wonderful guy.. im just worried about the company he keeps

anyways this sundays gonna be elite.. caaant wait

dsc68 · Nov 19th, 2002, 07:46 AM

I don't think I will be able to make it to Robertson this weekend. Besides it is not a very interesting drive from Canberra, unless you go via Bateman's Bay which makes it a long drive.

However the ACT Mini Car Club is having their annual Show and Shine on Saturday out the front of the Canberra Centre in Civic. If anyone is interested in joining in they are meeting at the Albert Hall at 8am before setting up at the Canberra Centre. All cars on show need to bring an oil drip tray for insurance purposes.

Tisk tisk, what a wuss

I did the Batemans Bay drive last Saturday, not too bad at all.

Now that does sound interesting. Are BMW Mini's welcome? Are you going to exhibit Dean?

No, I was talking driving from Canberra to Bateman's Bay, then up the coast via Nowra to Wollongong to meet up with the others, then up Macquarie Pass to Robertson, then back to Canberra in the reverse direction or via Mittagong and Goulburn.

I can't wait for an opportunity to travel up and down Clyde Mountain, and Brown Mountain between Cooma and Bega.

Driving directly to Robertson from Canberra is all via the Hume and Illawara highways - not much fun in that.

I met up with the ACT Mini Car Club yesterday at their weekly luch time meeting. They were quite friendly and interested in the BMW Mini and invited me to exhibit my car. Interestingly they hadn't had any real opportunities to have a close up look at one. They are also inviting Rolfe Classic to provide a car for the exhibition.

I'm thinking that I will exhibit. My only concern is having numbers of the public touch, poke, and possibly scratch my car. I'm also a bit concerned about raising the profile of my car with certain undesirable members of the public as it is my daily drive and fairly unique in Canberra.

If you would like to exhibit as well, we are meeting at the Albert Hall at 8am this Saturday. You will need a drip tray of some sort, I was planning to get a sheet of black plastic. You can leave at any time. I wasn't intending to enter the competition in the interests of good relations because I don't expect the general public to fully appreciate the effort involved in maintaining a classic Mini, compared with a new one, when voting.

You'll know me by my number plate.

Most likely place i'll meet up with people is at Robertson, i'm assuming the Pie Shop is the Robertson meeting place? or perhaps the big potato in town?
