And they've made it a 40km/h zone.

I could now get busted for speeding on my pushbike.

Well, at least down to Lennox Bridge, one has to scan the speedo...

I don't trust the constabulary not to set up a sneaky trap at the sweeping righthander at the bottom.

At least it's open though, can't complain too much.

Hi all

First great drive is from Thredbo to Khancoban along the Alpine Way then about 5ks after Khancoban turn right up to Cabramurra, through Kiandra and then a high speed drive to Cooma.

Second is from Dungog to the Buckets Way, turn left to Gloucester and on to Walcha along Thunderbolts way, across to Dorrigo then Waterfalls Way down to the coast via Belligen.

Third, The Putty road from Bulga to the halfway house and back.

But the ultimate is Targa Tasmania.

Safety Fast please.

Thanks, good info...

A few of us on the Chocolate Cruise did the Mtchell's Pass loop yesterday.

Nice short ONE WAY strip from the bridge to the carpark at the bottom. No speed signs by Penrith Council or Dept of Roads up yet in that section yet.

_{Terry, my neighbours grandson has only had his licence for a few months, drives a hyundai getz and is no way a car enthusiast or lead foot driver got pulled over at the bottom of mitchells pass at the carpark area and was done for doing 60 something in an alleged 40 zone, i never do 40 on my bianchi down there, but then again i dont want to add wear and tear to my brakes. i took the liberty down the other day and tried to do 40 down the second section it was difficult, may i say near impossible. so unfortunately i just avoid driving the car down there now.}

Police cannot plant themselves on those bends of Mitchell's Pass as you can patently tell.

They'd have to be in the carpark and by the time we come to the last bend, we've slowed down!

He must have got pinged for entering the carpark too quickly!

I've heard that the rozzers have been walking up from the old GWH (behind the locked gate) below the straight section, and getting people with a handheld gun coming down to the left hander just before the final straight section. They then pull you up as you exit onto the GWH.

As has been mentioned; it's now a 40 km/h zone & since it has been closed & reopened, I've noticed a lot more cyclists riding UP; which could get very ugly if a car was moving fast.

I'll admit to going quite quickly down there in the past, but be aware there are a lot more cyclist than I've seen before.

Thanks for the feedback fellahs.

Forewarned is forearmed even though I came down there again this morning. I hadn't noticed any 40Km sign below Lennox Bridge yet.

Hate to get pinged doing 72 in a 40 zone gulp.

[vorse]

[Tai1or Made]

They've trenched a section of the road on Barrengary. Lollipop men.

Didn't look like a big job.

Just an FYI.

[GTR-N1]

That section has needed to be smoothed out!

Heya all

I drove to Jenolan Caves yesterday for a caving trip and took the GTR out as I remember the roads being kinda fun. Well damn was I right!!

Jenolan Caves Rd from the Great Western Highway is awesome. Very open, easy to drive at speed with relative safety and the roads aren't that bad at all (I run TEIN Super Streets on 18s)

It's a big boring drive along the highway to get there, but for a nice day trip with the missus, I strongly suggest taking the 'fast car' out for a blat

Also, Hawkesbury Rd at Yarramundi. My fave local hillclimb!! I've never had a car stick with me, even when I had the bridgeport RX3, and the GTR is even faster up there. Willing to accept any challengers

Mark!!
