sorry bout the date guys, i didnt realise when this fell.

fortunatly, for those who arnt going to wakefield(those like me worried about doing damage), this cruse can be an alternative.

for those who were thinking of coming, but cant make it, im thinking of turning this into an annual event.

btw, there are some great photo ops :banana:

Don't forget that parking at the 3 Sisters costs money, unless, you park about 400m away and walk ;)

Also seeing as though you are in the area you may as well stop at the old Catalina Race Park and walk a lap of the retired track. Afew of us SAU members walked it about 2mths ago on a cruise and it was quite fascinating.

when did they start charging for parking?

It's been about 2-3years since I last went.

Oh well, I don't mind a brisk morning walk

I've been going there daily for 7yrs and im pretty sure they have been charging for all over those 7yrs. The closest you can park without buying a parking ticket is Birdwood Ave / Raymond Rd.

Also it's very likely that the area will be covered in fog which means the only thing you will see is the end of your nose for the entire day (unlike the metro areas the fog in the mtns generally hangs around atleast until lunchtime).

If any of you have a friend or relative that lives in the Blue Mountains, and pays Council rates, he/she has what we call...

Echo Point RESIDENT PARKING PERMIT Permit # xxxx - For Use In 8 Hour Zones Only (to be placed on the left hand side of dash)

I'm not sure if Parking Rangers would be up at 5am though - unless your exhausts wake the Dead lol

(...anyone want a loan of mine?)

Footnote: At that time of morning, waves of clouds often hug the valley floor. People often go to lookouts like these around the world to view the scenery + the hues of the rising sun hitting the clouds/cliff faces - whether it be Mt Dandenong VIC or Lishan TAIWAN etc.

NB Probably a good idea to keep watch of the 'bom' website, because if it's rainy/misty/overcast, it can get pretty bleak.

hi, yeah, last time at that time in the morning, no one was there.

it was roughly the same time of year, had a light fog that cleard.

it was nice towatch though.

and no people from sau have announced attendence as yet.

c'mon people, its not THAT early

im interested in going but am concerned about the fog dont want to be driving and can only see 5metres in front of the car :whistling:

be a man, do the right thing. jk.

cant say 100%, but last time, no fog....

that early in the morning, hopefully there wont be.

ben, one in, hopefully more will change thier mind

nice to see some guys coming out for this.

so far theres about 12 cars between this group and the commodores(mostly commodores)

alot more than i thought id get with this idea...

hope to see more on the day

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
