Sydney January Run
Discussion
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Hawkesbury+Va...
As discussed, do a run down to Jenolan Caves in January.
Did we decide on the 14th or the 21st? 21st I think. Nice Saturday run to clear the cobwebs.
Meet at the carpark opposite the RAAF base at Windsor at 9.30am for 10am departure (we will be late, just a heads up), then up over Bells Line of Way (remembering the speed camera at Kurrajong), left at Bell down the Darling Causeway, onto the Great Western Highway then turn left towards Jenolan Caves.
Narrow, twisty road which is great fun - especially the decent into madness, or Jenolan Caves House.
Fron Jenolan Caves we will head back up to Oberon for a refuel if required, then back through Duckmaloi (as fun to drive as it is to say) and to our respective homes.

If we could make it Sunday ???? I thought we decided on the weekend before Aussie day which would make it the 21st (or 22nd)
B & V
PS Given the 360km range a refuel will be required at some point between Newcatle and return (probably 2 top ups TBH)

If we are still on for this then I will need to come in someone else's car..............
Just sold the Porsche today, and felt really emotional as it pulled out of the drive. Feel like I have my right leg missing.
Woah, what mate? Need more details! Just sold the Porsche today, and felt really emotional as it pulled out of the drive. Feel like I have my right leg missing.
Put it back a couple of weeks. I'm shocked at the news.

Yep a guy flew down from Brisbane today to pick it up. I need to find someone that is planning on moving here so they can bring me another car. I fancy either a M3 or a SL55 AMG.Put it back a couple of weeks. I'm shocked at the news.
Will fill you in on the details but you will need to take me out for a few cold ones to help me get over it.
Hey Guys,
Looked like I missed this one, however would be interested to hear of any similar runs out of Sydney.
Originally from UK and been on a few early morning runs with PH'ers in Berks/Bucks area over the years back home.
Finally got myself into a car that I feel like driving with a bit of spirit (Only an Audi - Can't believe the cost of used cars over here!) and would be keen to meet any like minded folk and check out some of the local roads/scenery.
I am currently Inner West Sydney based.

Andrew - We may be up for an early Feb run - I'll defer to the social secretary.
SamE30 - welcome to PH Aus. Sydney based is probably good as most of the active NSW guys are based there. Feel free to come to the Hunter for a bit of wine and some decent roads though.
PS the Lotus guys are sorting a date in March for the car restoration tour if you are up for that. I will let you know what date when its released.

Bob, early Feb sounds good. I've started the new job so have less spare time now... Car will be a lot quicker cone early Feb...
Sam. We postponed the run, but will organise something soon. The more the merrier. Where in Sydney are you?
Good to hear that it will be quicker....since I'll be in the back of yours for a time...;-)Sam. We postponed the run, but will organise something soon. The more the merrier. Where in Sydney are you?
Missing the black beast...;-(
Have been busier than a busy thing over the last 6 months or so and this coming month is looking busier than ever 
so haven't been able to come out to play much. Did manage a spot of pistonheadery fun over xmas though. 
Hope to catch up with you all soon enough and I clearly need to sort Thang out for not offering your 993 out to the PH massive for 1st dibs

What are you driving these days?
We have Stu with his Porker, Andrew with his Golf R, and both are too busy to come and take me for a spin. Especially now that Andrew is a company director!!!!
I guess I'll stick with my 88 Honda Legend for now............
