What a cruise! Lots of highlights, here are some of the photos. You can see some more on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/114247084@N04/

One of the highlights was seeing the worlds largest Sundial. Amazing sculpture at the Halfway Roadhouse, with a massive turnout for the day.

Can't wait for the next cruise which the SAUNSW Team already have in the pipeline!

Awesome photos! I saw you on the side of the road as we left the Truck Stop and super stoked you got a nice shot of my car despite it's deformities! :worship:

Really enjoyed the day - thanks to the organisers and all the participants. I had to get out of the Royal Hotel soon after smashing down a massive Schnitty to meet a family obligation at 4pm. Did ok for traffic but copped the hail soon after coming off the F3 and had zero visibility by Gordon!

Can still taste the E85 coming out the back of Mick's beast 34 - got quite used to it after the first 20kms!

Cheers to the photographers too.

Merry Christmas all!

Thanks to all involved in organising such a good cruise - it was good to catch up with everyone before Christmas.

We made the decision to go home by the Putty Road and managed to get caught in the middle of the storm - much excitement ! ! !

There was that much water over the road that anything above 2 grand and the car just broke into wheel spin and at the worst of it we were doing 40 km and could not see enough to do any more.

The water was that deep that the mags on my car have flow marks that reflect where the water was going through the spokes - we were thinking that we should have brought the Hilux instead of a Skyline.

We were very pleased to see the relative safety of Windsor compared to where we had been.

Thanks to everyone who brought their cameras and took some great pictures.

I must have hit a rock, It sounded like something f**ked something in the rear passenger wheel...

It squealed like a pig all the way down the ridge. when i Finally found a place to stop, I took the wheel off & break pads out and it was a horrid grinding noise. the dust plate thingy looked a little bent so gave it a whack to move it away from the break rotor. nope still grinding and crunching away.

decided to just limp it home so put pads back in & wheel back on...2 metres of grinding and it stopped..... FIXED!!!! I managed to drive all the way home home no issue as well as to and from work today with no issues.

thanks to Cieran for stopping with me & thank god we didn't get any rain while messing about.

this car and its weird disappearing issues... no idea.

Hey guys, being my first SAU NSW to be involved in, I thought it was a great day. Although I'm more of a track dude than a cruise dude, I hadn't driven putty before so I'm pretty pleased with how it all went. Look forward to seeing some familiar faces on the next one now.

Cheers,

Jacko.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
