RSVP:
If you are planning to sit and have breakfast with us, please let us know, either by posting in the event, or by messaging us direct so we can confirm numbers with the venue.

We will meet at Loftus Oval Carpark which has plenty of room and is low car friendly.

This is a quick turn into the Royal National Park and some nice roads and scenery.

After Stanwell Tops we will turn off and head onto the awesome Sea Cliff Bridge.

Following this it is a short trip to Austi Beach Cafe.

There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior!

This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days.
This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:
• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.
• Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!

Hmmmm.. have my yet another kid's birthday party to attend that day lol.

I could just go for the drive then head straight home.

Yes, do it! I mean you probably have kid's birthday parties every other weekend now. This cruise comes up only once a year. And it heads off nice and early.

(This is not parenting advice. I don't even have kids.)

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Hahaha I'll see how I go tomorrow, need to unload the car from the track day and then fill it up lol.

Skip the kids birthday party, they just end up passing on all the germs and making you sick anyway

Well at the very least you have the whole day to come up with a better excuse than that. Appalling 😛

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Sorry all, can't make it tomorrow, tight on time!

Have fun everyone!

I'm really hoping to head out in the Chchchchcherry Bomb tomorrow, the Mrs was with the eldest today doing girl stuff, so I fully detailed the car, it definitely needs cruise around in a clean state before it rains on it again, fingers crossed

 

 

[The Bogan]

Nice little cruise, I was super lucky though, clean air all the way from the weir to Austimer

In case anyone has missed it, photos are now up on our Facebook and website! 😁

I hope everyone who came enjoyed the cruise! And for all those that missed out, I hope the photos teased you enough to join the next event 😜

[soviet_merlin]

This was good fun! And great photos as usual Sam!

A bit late to the party but here's a bunch of photos that Jen and Ronald took. We have to practice a bit more with those action shots, but we'll get there eventually. The auto focus on the phone seems to be messing up a fair bit. Maybe we take a proper camera next time.

No photo love for the Bogan Cruise Ship 🤣

Next time!

You were a few cars in front of us in the twisties. All I could see was a glimpse of red every now and then. Otherwise it was just rumble and thunder in the distance when you put the pedal down. It certainly sounds the part!

[The Bogan]

We need to end at a joint where there's lots of parking, maybe contact a coffee/ "good" food truck thingie, more time for ogling cars. It also keeps the cars away from random idiots/kids/footballs and other hazards in public parking lots.

There's even some nice quite commercial joints on Sundays that shut down the warehouses over the weekends, that have little cafes which may be able to open for a few hours.

There would have been more than 50 people that started the cruise, I'm sure most of them, including me, would like a nice quiet place to park up, open bonnets, and smash coffee, B&E Sanga's and cakes for a few hours, without Joe Public getting in the way.

I look forward to the next one, and will try and move my schedule around to attend.
