Newcastle And Central Coast 26/8/2012 Cruise To Singleton


Recommended Posts

Okay after an informal meeting last night (drinks at the pub) it was decided that the next cruise should be to Singleton

The plan is to go the back way via Maitland Vale road through Stanhope, Elderslie and then up towards Gresford turning off at Gresford rd and heading into singleton

We can then have lunch at either the Imperial (an 1800's style pub) or the Albion ( down near the train station) and from there head back home via the highway or your choice of country road

I think th best meet point would be the BP at the end of the F3 that way if you need to fuel up you can meet from 9.30 for a 10.00am departure with some nice roads scenery etc and hopefully a good feed at the end

We had a good first meet so let's keep it going

See you all there

There is a very well engineered bypass that is one of my favourite roads...and it is relatively new as well

It is a bypass from East Maitland (you turn right at the melbourne street lights, then left just past the United Petrol Station) and its a nice engineered road that goes through to Bolwarra...I know this because I live in Bolwarra (^^♪

I've been too singleton a few times, there is a section of road on that highway there where a Mobile Speed Camera is often perched.

Where have you been hiding?

Yeah I know that road well, use it all the time when I'm up that way. One day I might see the big cat finished but looks like the owner has stopped work on it or given up

Yeah cops love the new England but as long as you do the limit and slow down at the road works through Branxton etc you have no problem

    • 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.
