Nice stretch of road. The bunch of us that cruise up for the weekly Coastie cruise find the best place to start the Old Pac is from where the truckstop is in Berowra. Before that it's pretty much a mostly straight stretch of road...

thanks for the heads up

not going for a fang.....just gonna head up around 2ish and i wanted to see what all the hype was.

--edit--

just had a look at whereis....its looks very tight through mooney mooney

Watch for cops. Lots of them up there catching the guys on bikes.

Watch for bikes, not all of them doing 60.

Road is still closed at Calga so you miss the best bit up to Somersby and have to go back on the F3

yeah its the F3 or the old pac :rolleyes:

It does get very busy on weekends so you'll have no probs with blind corners or anything as stage 2 3 and 4 are all 60kms anyway.

stage 1 from berowra to the hawksbury river is 80kms.

Cops patrol it every weekend.

even at speeds like, 60km/h its hard...

Quoted for posterity.

Anyway, if you're going up on a Sunday just do at around the speed limit, and expect to not get a flowing drive. The road is always full of tourists on the weekend, and so its heavily patrolled. You'll also find a lot of cyclists during the day, so you'll go around some of those blind corners and find some spastics in spandex doing 20km/hr.

i remember one particular blind corner after a bridge that got me a little freaked out at night since I couldn't see shit and head lights were crap.....otherwise, its pretty flowy....left, right, left, right mmmmmmmmm.

Yeah I wouldnt say scary, Id say weekends are just too busy.

As Scathing said, its the push bike riders that you mainly need to watch for.

Best to go mid week for a nice drive with less traffic

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
