If you do Putty rd to Singleton i can meet you there? Only 3 hours away for me then....

 

[Kitty's VR4]

Hmmm, Dawso, for you we'll try (I want that nardi wheel....lol) maybe an overnighter for the sydney crew with a stopover at singleton, then an early start out of singleton and run to gosford for the start (sydney crew??? who wants a late afternoon / early evening run up the putty road, staging point macquarie park Windsor)
Dawso the end point will be the F3 Gosford interchange eta 3.30pm, you'd probably beat me home from there?????????

St.Albans Pub for a late lunch,

I love that place, Geez if I wasn't in Queensland I join you just to go to the pub.
Great drive to get there from Penrith.

 

[Guest]

Yea put me down Kitty. I can smell the brakes already!!!

 

[Kitty's VR4]

Cool Chris, DONE Are you bringing your Dad, can't wait to see his footage????

 

[pu-11-me]

I'll be down in Sydney one w/e in March anyway actually.... I'll keep you posted and let you know!

That way i can start and finish with all the Sydney boys! w00t!

 

[Kitty's VR4]

Well thats certainly helps cut the K's down for everyone, thanks Dawso
(one step closer to your nardi wheel)

 

[dimi_108]

Yeah sweet, put me down.
What date are you looking at?

 

[Guest]

Sounds good, I guess we'll just have to see about what day its on.

 

[qball]

I'd love to go pending date confirmation

 

[Emu]

I'm in pending dates as well Kat.

Will you have the camera mount sorted out by then?

 

[Kitty's VR4]

Absolutely Wayne, Nudge actually attached a camera swivel mount to the Suction Cup this afternoon.... he destroyed a perfectly good tripod to do it though, I'm pretty sure that he's nailed it now......

I'll be posting some more footage up shortly of the cambewarra mountain section, just waiting on youtube upload.. standby

So i gathered you enjoyed stretching your babies feet a little yesterday??

 

[king_panther]

Hey sounds good .... my neck of the woods too so you'll all be on 'my' turf haha.

Dimi take the right exit this time !! haha j/j

I'll be over 200,000kms too by then so we can all bow in awe of the legend that is the 'Grandpa' ..

Sign me up for the time being... will notify if I have to cancel.

 

[Tom]

I'll be up for this run, not so sure about the staying the night thing though haha.. would much prefer a morning/all day thing like originally suggested!


Also, for those wanting ideas of random runs to do at any other time, one run that ive done a couple of times is up the old pac hwy, left through peats ridge, down wisemans ferry rd through spencer, across the ferry, through wisemans ferry

It isn't so much hard twisties or whatever (except parts of old pac), but it is nice quicker paced driving of country roads around nice places!

Hehe nice idea Tom, just we gotta make sure we take those corners properly otherwise we're going for a nice swim in our VR4s
Done that run many a time, but not in my Legnum yet.

 

[gorgath]

Put me in - pending on date confirmation.

 

[VR-04-TT]

Count me in if it's not a stay-over event. Any weekend in March should be fine with a few weeks' notice.

 

[Kitty's VR4]

Paul, looks as though Dawso will be in sydney anyway so the overnight is off. so it will be just a day cruise..... Just waiting on dawso to confirm what weekend he'll be in sydney (hint hint), then the timing and route will depend on tides so we can get 2 ferry crossings in (need a high tide to get those of us who are a lil low onto ferries without dragging our front air dams off) so more awesome river crossing shots/videos of VR4's are assured

 

[VR-04-TT]

Awesome Kat! I'm looking forward to it already

I don't know if this was part of your route but there's a great run from Windsor to Hornsby via Galston Gorge. If it's not part of it and not close enough we can always use it later.
