List the people that are coming so chris can update the listing of people attending in his initial post and so we know how many numbers to expect on the day..

-Dave.

It would seem we're getting some good numbers for this.

And while we're on that, we should possibly start working out those with passengers so we know of numbers for food as well.

Gunna be a tops day!

I won't be going on this cruise anymore. It is the day after drag warz and I don't like the prospect of driving for 4.5 hours each way. Will be going to the Syd-Newy cruise so might end up meeting up when you guys come back.

That is what a got from online map directions (from Sydney to Speers Point to Soldiers Point). Someone correct me if I am wrong.

3.5hrs towing from WSID...2.5hrs from Silverwater (Croydons) to Soldiers Point. These are trips ive done more times than i care to remember....so those times are accurate.

That is the direct route duration, Paul. For me, Sydney (near Parramatta) to Speers Point is 2 hours 40 mins give or take. Then Speers Point to Soldiers Point is another 1 hour 40 to 2 hour trip. So for me, I wont be able to make it that far. But will make it to Newy at least - depending on the events of Dec 17th.

Hey guys :)

I'm in for sure, as long as you's dont mind the R31 crew joinin the cruise!

I'll have 1 passanger, maybe 2 (gf isnt all that interested in Skylines... Wtf is with that?!)

A mate of mine with a white 33 & a GTR bodykit said he's in too. He's a member on here, but I dunno his screen name & I cant remember his plates...

Whats gonna happen about those of us who are still cursed with P plates? :D 90 sucks!.. Although most of the way, the speed limit wont be above 90 I guess..

for me to get to parramatta is only about 1.5 hours from speers point (sticking to about 110-115km/hr) i know its 1hr 15mins from my place at warners bay to the end of the freeway, so its not that far really. :P

If you are coming to speers point from sydney, take the toronto exit, it is much quicker that taking the cardiff exit like whereis.com says!

and....... maybe 1.5 hrs approx to soldiers point from speers point? never been so i'm not sure on that one.

everyone should be checking this thread the night before anyway just incase something pops up or whatever, so i think everyone will see the 9am new start time...:)

LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED.......9 days till the cruise!!

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
