Alrighty, lets say the 8th :) that'll give me some time to sort some stuff out as well ;)

so, back to destinations and travel paths then...

I like the sound of this:

Your best bet is just to skip the Akuna Bay section and just go vai McCarrs Creek rd and then through Bayview to Newport then palm beach.

The BEST section of that whole area is coming back from Bayview through Mc Carrs Creek rd. Once you pass the intersection of McCarrs Creek rd and West Head Rd, the road is all 2nd, 3rd gear uphill tight bends.

Although, i have no idea how to get there and round that way... CWest; will you be attending? or who else knows that way quite well?

Where's a good meet point for people? I know I and a few others will travel from the Hornsby area...

I really should finish the cruise database i'm making. I think it would make all our lives easier, just think of it.... a db where u can search by destination.... hightlights or even road condition and it supplies u with a list of possible options and a map when u select one.

Well enough of me pulling my own chain.... this all sounds great... keep me updated.

Well i live just around that area and also do most of my fishing in that area so yeah i know it pretty well. The 8th should be OK so ill most probably turn up.

As for meeting up well up to you. For people coming from Hornsby and or Strathfield your best bet would be to meet up at St Ives at the Maccas or something like that since thats were the 2 roads meet up.

Ok, well before i start listing it in the events section, lets get the details finalised ;)

So lets say:

8th April:

Palm Beach vai McCarrs Creek rd and then through Bayview to Newport.

Meet point would ideally be St Ives Maccas at 9pm for a 9:45pm departure.

How's that with everyone....?

Palm beach is a nice destination, but bare in mind the police will be watching you from the minute you reach pittwater road.

We have a good reputation down that way and normally the only attention we get is a drive by and quick check on our movements by a patrol car and thats it.

Take it very easy down there, there are enough commodore driving morons hooning around there as it is so drive sensibly and dont do anything stupid ;)

Also, the road to westhead is a good road, but not for the inexperienced driver. That section of road and Mccarrs Creek road have claimed more skylines than I care to remember . Mostly drivers who push themselves or their cars just that little bit to far.

Yes you are correct Blitz its a good fun road but driving through it should be done sensibly.

As long as the leading car goes at an appropriate pace im sure they wont suffer any casualties.

OKAY!!! :)

Check it out and post your interest. :D

Thanks for all the help with organising guys, we may still need a leader with solid knowledge of the area on the night, we'll see how i'm travelling sooner to the date :D

See you all there!

Dave.

    • 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.
