For those of you who don't know, one of the 12 Apostles collapsed over the weekend, leaving only 8 of the limestone rock formations left.

If you have not yet driven to Port Campbell to see these, then I suggest you make it a priority for a spare weekend, before there are none left. Since I first saw them on a school excursion almost 20 years ago - the London Bridge formation has collapsed also.

The drive along the Great Ocean Road is nothing short of spectacular - and makes a fabulous weekend away. The Golden Chain motel in Port Campbell even has spa rooms - perfect for a 'wink wink' weekend away :P

As a club, we try to have at least 2 drives down the Great Ocean Road every year - the first having been in March. We'll try to plan another one later in the year to take advantage of nicer weather, and hope that in the meantime, nature plays nicely and the rest of the Apostles stay there.

20 years ago, now you are showing your age! :uh-huh:

I have done the drive a couple of times and enjoyed it immensly. Maybe a remembrance cruise needs to be organised for the demise of the 9th Apostle.

Could your arm be twisted to go if weather is good???

Arm is quite twistable, but the weather this weekend is looking quite crap. That being said, I'm sure every man & his dog will take the opportunity to head down this weekend.

I'll have a chat to a few mates and see when they're interesting in making the pilgrimage.

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT

      I live in a French European province, within a very metric country. We hate football here and the statue of liberty was actually built in France haha. Sadly, we're currently also feuding hard with the US due to tariffs. The US is the US. Everywhere else, is everywhere else.

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By Shauno86 · Posted

      Heater wasn’t working in my 32  so I decided to pull my dash out ( sounded like a great idea at the time) so initially I was sure the heater core was blocked. When I pulled it out turns out that the heater blower actuator was cable tied so it stayed shut and this prevented the heater core from doing its job as well as flowing. so currently the dash is out the heater core is out and seems to be fine but I think I’m in over my head  and need someone that knows what they are doing to take over and get it finished. I’m located in mt Annan, nsw 2567 if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know
