[Gus-]

so how was it?

[Amaru]

Was good, only 3 cars (ewens, mivec's fto and cro's xr6t), but we went down to jindabyne, out to charlottes pass (where it was f@#king freezing), back to jindabyne for lunch then out to thredbo... was a nice drive.

EDIT: oops, double posted

[Cro]

Very crap turnout from each of the three represented clubs/forums..hehe

Was a bit slow and boring to Charlotts Pass. I've never been there before and was very dissapointed with the lack of corners, bends, etc..

I ended up going the whole route, and for any of you who haven't done it before:

Imagine Macquarie Pass, but not just 8km's. 300 odd kms of pure cornering bliss!!

I can't wait to go back again

[Aurora]

With a spare fuel tank in boot i might be able to make that trip

[djhatton]

300ks. yeah i'm out.

Yes, was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Now I know where to go I think I shall take some others along there for a cruise or so.

Scenery was beautiful, particularly coming down the mountain to Jindy and seeing that big lake!

Thanks Nick/Ewen/Ivan.

Heyas, well im rather new to the forum and Canberra too.

I'm really keen to get out and meet ya all. I’m totally up for a cruise sometime.

I know this may be a little far away but I just returned from two weeks in Tasmania.

I hired a Nissan Maxima (Leather & SAT Nav) and did the drive around.

For the entire two weeks I wished I had the skyline. Hours of windy roads with the Altimeter at 800m above sea level. You cruise from open plains into rainforest into little, really old, towns. I must have passed a thousand motorbikes, all enjoying the drive.

I promised myself I would return with the Skyline.

I’m yet to do any costing but I figure I would need three weeks in total. The two weeks I spent there last was basically 8 hours a day of driving with about 10 days total driving. With this I was able to drive around the entire island, with two day stops in Port Arthur and Cradle Mountain. We stayed overnight in ‘Cosy Cabins’ and for the three of us we paid around $70 a night total (for three). Most of these cabins have about 5 beds.

So, I figure I would take the drive to Melbourne, by day, and book the skyline on a boat, by night.

I figure we could contact the Tazzie Skyline guys and hook up over there. They should be able to sort us out with local mechanics for on-tour mods and unforseen repairs.

With a few months notice & some planning / costing to come would anyone be interested in joining the fun?

[MIVEC]

That would be a HUGE undertaking.

[SupaFly Skyline]

That would be A LOT of fun,

Have always wanted to go for a driving holiday to tassie with the skyzer.

Matski, if your keen to look into it, id be pretty keen to go

[Frink]

they would take so much time to plan. we'd need heaps of time in order to get time off work, and be able to pick a time that suits most people. would be waste of time if only 2-3 cars went.

matski,

wh ydont you come out tonight to the museum and meet us all?
