Hey Albert I'm definitely in for this mate, though I think I'll be the one having clearance issues at the ferry. Got the new car registered today, just got to fix up some last little electronics, alarm, lights/indicators - LOL. :)

Will be good to see you again mate.

Yey! watch out for rabbits n shit ok :(

If you have a lowered car, or a front bar like mine with alot of overhang then you might have dramas... std front bar and height, no dramas!

ok

factory front bar goes back on on the day :down:

Ps Can someone post up a route for this drive, hopefully a map that highlights the route

that we gonna take :P

cheers!

every few months me and some friends go up to a place in the middle of nowhere and hire out a cabin for the weekend... its located between maroota and wisemans ferry on the hawksbury river. the roads out there are awesome..... theres a road called river road that is usually 1.5 lanes wide and is in good condition.... first night i went up there was about 8 months ago and i was driving up at 1am when it was raining..... gunning it around blind corners and all since i was the only car around and i doubt anyone lived out there let alone coppers... windy road to myself what would you do? anyway made it to my destination after sliding all over the road.... the next afternoon when i went home i took the same route back..... it was a clift drive along a river with nothing other than the occasional tree to stop me from falling in the river, luckily i didnt f**k up lol

but i recon we should do that drive one day in summer... from castle hill it will take about 3 hour drive round trip.... im not sure if theres more than one ferry that does the cars crossing on the hawksbury but on that road there is a car ferry so im wandering if its the same one you guys have been talking abour????

i'll organise the route if people are interested

lol yeah man sounds good, so for those guys with the low cars n shit, HARDEN THE F**K UP :woot:

yeap cruise will be on if the weather is happy, but worst case we can hide in maccas and sipping up slurrpy ;)

do you want to buy me a new bar????? :P nah jokes, should be good.

just follow me as per usual. ( depend how long or short of trip you want too)

berowra waters, is that where that sea food restaraunt is??? next to the water there?

i think i went there back in 2004

yeah, thats the one

forgot to say with choice 2 you have to cross another ferry at sackville which i think could be more dangerous than berowra ( again i think)

but all roads out there are fantastic it's just the way you want to go.

i like 2 the best aswell.... 1 is also pretty good,,,,, 3 is good but id rather do 1 or 2..... and if we cant get onto the ferry, we go back to pit town road and start the number 1 option???? or 3 depending how much time we got....

shane shane shane didn't you learn anything from "gone in 60 seconds"? You apparently do not need breaks to drive in the city/suburbia.... a good but silly movie at the same time

Sackville ferry is ok... never had a problem there... we have property on wisemans river there ;)

They updated it a little while ago with the hydraulic lifter thingys for the ferry... :(

make it a long cruise.

no speed cameras.

wollongong?

appin road brah!

oh, Choice two for me.

yo Anna, rekon i could get those brakes on by then?

Yep.. can do this weekend if you wants??? Just need to get them pretty red for you... so maybe we get them ready this weekend and install during the week???? Seeing you are nice and close and all!!!

Rears are still a couple of weeks away ;)

hahah no brakes for city/suburbia driving? NO PROBLEMS! get rid of speed cameras and traffic lights and all other traffic.

sweet Anna, ill just wait until the rears are ready so you can put them on together all at once!

How much to get them pretty red?

Haha. No way. In person these boys haven't got the balls to say the shit they post on here. 'Keyboard Warrior Syndrome' or KWS is what it's called. :laugh: Don't take any of it personal, they're just having a bit of fun because you seem to be cool with it. If it's pissing you off, just say so.

Hey!!! I like being a 5ft 4" 62kg Keyboard Warrior.... and i have the balls to say that!!!! ;)

If you're talking about the plush one owned by the Swiss dude that you can only get to by boat or sea plane - then yes, Berowra Waters is the place.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
