Its a long cruise to the 1st stop which would be Gosford.

I cant seem to find any other stops on the way to Gosford for toilet stops...... if we decide on the run we need to pull into Cessnock for any reason I'm fine with that too.

If your running normal fuel you should be fine on this trip.

If your running ethanol like myself, you might seriously want to look at bringing a 20L jerry full of ethanol just in case.

I tend to average about 270-290km per 55L with a heavy right foot so I'm not going to chance it with the 265km run to Gosford, hence why I'll be taking extra fuel in my bro's ute.....shhh he doesnt know this part yet. LOL!!

Guys this is still subject to change if anyone would like to add or swap something to the route, till then this is it... :)

FORUM RULES:

1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...

2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.

3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.

4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter.

5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time.

6. Onus is on the owner/driver to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws.

7. Please ensure you have a contingency plan if you have a breakdown or unnecessarily delayed. e.g. Roadside Assistance or a mate in another car who is willing to stay with you if necessary.

8. This cruise is not to be advertised on any other media or websites or social media sites without prior agreement from the cruise organisers.

9. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it's Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible / liable for any damage and / or grief sustained (simply; you are responsible for your own actions).
