Look forward to seeing you mate.....

Dont see any reason whynot mate.....hope to see you there And welcome to XR6Turbo.com too....

This place has some classic stuff.... They might even do group buys too..... http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=l2pr06h2i5bl5h9ju9th0utml0

Here's some in-car footage from one of our previous runs......

It's all good....but your going to give your steering racks and gearboxes a workout on the way up 17kms from bottom to top....very twisty with only a couple of short straight sections....it's 2nd and 3rd gear most of the way up.... And a good test of the brakes depending on how quick you want to get from the top back down again...... This is one of our most popular night run stretches.....ask anybody who's come along on one before.....

No worries then.....see you at the cruise mate....

It's cooling down guys.....and that means....IT'S TURBO WEATHER!!.... This one's always been a fav for most....so how about packing your beanies, jackets and uggies for a leisurely cruise up "the Pass"..... Take note that this is on a SATURDAY night!!... Meeting at 7.30pm in the carpark on Waterworth Drive and Narellan Rd, Mount Annan for an 8.00pm leave. Leaving the carpark, from Waterworth Drive, we turn right onto Narellan Rd. At 3kms, turn right into Gilchrist Drive, through the town centre and right onto Geary’s Rd. then left onto Menangle Rd. At 11kms, turn left onto Camden Rd. At 10kms. Turn left onto Douglas Park Rd. At 6.5kms. turn right onto Wilton Rd. then left onto Macarthur Drive. At 4kms, turn left onto Picton Rd, At 16kms turn right onto Mount Keira Rd. and follow for 9kms down the mountain to Woolongong. Note: There are parts of Mt. Keira Rd that are very narrow and care must be taken. The cruise leader will advise of oncoming traffic. At the bottom of Mt. Keira Rd. we turn right onto the on ramp for the Southern freeway while being mindful of the speed camera (60ks) on the ramp. Follow the freeway for 28kms to the BP/ KFC service station on Princes Hwy at Albion Park for a drink/rest break. After the break we turn left out of the BP onto the highway and follow for .5 km and turning right at Station St. Follow Station St. for 1km and turn right onto Tongarra Rd. Follow Tongarra Rd for 2kms into Albion Park township where it runs into the Illawarra Highway. Follow the highway for 10kms to the foot of Mac. pass We will slow towards the the bottom of the pass to make sure everyone is together before going 17kms up the Pass to Robertson pie shop and finish. Naturally, a working, fully charged CB radio (and preferably a friend to use it)is a definite asset on this night cruise…..so if you don’t have one…..get one ok…. In order to limit the size of this post, I have included the cruise rules as an attachment, please read them and likewise for others you invite or bring. So....who's in?....

Hey....we all just got out of the lockup..... ......just kidding... Even though I ran late getting away from work, still made it to the Meeting point in time.... Due to the date change we only managed 18 XR's, one Skyline and an EB XR6.....a comfortable number who managed to stay basically together all the way to Palm Beach. We only lost two when they went straight through the roundabout at Sydney Rd instead of turning right but as a whole, the run was great. Ben did a top job of leading the pack through the city and we all arrived at Palm Beach in good time. The Police saw us on Barrenjoey Rd and followed up to Palm.....only stopping to see what it was all about....once explained, they realised we meant no trouble,told us to have a good night and that was the last we saw of them. All in all...a great rollup and everybody had a good time catching up.....big thanks to Ben for organising it and Matt for bringing up the rear and making sure we all stayed together....good job guys Look forward to seeing the pics!!

Carpark lighting, that's why....I'vé got my reservations about palm beach really..... When we did a reccy up there two weeks ago.....the lighting is crap up there....:( Maybe we could do the piccie deal at Eastgardens before the cruise?.....

We're sure that Dora will nurse you back to health mate.....

I would have been there except when I got home last night there'a letter fom the RTA asking why I haven't renewed my licence which expired back on the 12th of this month? Bloody hell....I've been all over the place in the last two weeks! Friggen' embarrassing having to call Ben last night and tell him....but I wasn't about to push the issue by going out last night Bring on next week guys.....

I'll make sure to bring a pair of pliers with me ok..... Sheese...the things we do for mates

Funny you mention that....I only sent a PM to Ben a while ago asking if he's considered a " rain date" for this? The forecast is crap till Sunday and to be honest, I can't see it being much fun driving through the city on a rainy night,not being able to do the shoot or even get out and socialise because of the weather you know..... Even if it's just showers....by the time we get there, everybody's cars gonna be covered in crap anyway... Ball's in Ben's court really....but we'll have to make a decision soon so everybody knows what's going on.

A better idea may be something like this...... http://wakefieldpark.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=42

I tried to set up something along those lines a while ago.... But getting onto wakefield is hard enough as it is...you really have to combine with one of the car clubs to make it a viable option. Add to that the dramas of getting people to turn up after saying they would then changing their mind at the last minute when we've given a promise that we'd have X amount of cars....... In the end....it all got too hard.

Good point.....you could always move back to civilisation.....

I remember as a little kid asking my mother about my grandfather..... The sight of the tears in her eyes as she explained to me how he died in a Japanese prison camp called Changi will stay with me forever.:(

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. If you can read this message thank a teacher, If you are reading it in English of your own free will THANK A SOLDIER! It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. To all the brave men and women who have dedicated or given their lives to protecting this country and it's freedoms: Lest we Forget.

So now your trying to tell us that you "lost track" and went 150 in a 90 zone? Mate....at that rate your next "big car accident" is just around the corner I'd say.... Quit while your ahead ok....

Yeah, when I looked up the weather report for this week it says intermittent rain till next Saturday at the least.... Maybe we should set a "rain date" for this one just in case?....

Good idea.... This is not as crazy as it sounds....possums hate bright light, that's why the buggers only come out at night right... Put a couple of flouros up in the roof on a timer....they'll hate it... Bull....possums don't really bite....but they've got claws that'll rip you to shreds if you try to grab them. Another dumb idea....if the thing dies up in the roof and you can't get at it....it'll stink like all hell.... In short, the best way is to block off all points of entry into the roof...bar one...wait till they leave at night and then block it off too. That way they wont get trapped and die in your roof.... Lastly...put up a couple of possum boxes up in the trees nearby....gives them an alternative to your roof.

As Adam asked.....are they "ïn" the roof or "on" the roof?...big difference in dealing with em'..... If there inside the roof and you kill them....they'll stink to high hell....

Ok, so even though doing something like that in the first place has got to worthy of an award for blatent stupidity..... They should have locked you up and tossed the key..... I can't believe anybody could be dumb enough to post it up on a public forum??....mate, you must be a goose....

Counting the Beat.....or more correctly, the Kmart jingle.....been driving me nuts all bloody day...

Can he ride shotgun in yours? I think we've already got enough XR's to deal with right now without bringing in even more...
