Hey all ... if you guys have read the other threads i will be heading down your way on the 6th on my way to sydney. at the moent the plan is to leave brisbane at 4am, add an hour for daylight saving and that will put me in coffs at 10am. i know its a 6 hour dirve from coffs to sydney so i guess its probably about 4 1/2 to newcastle. that should put me in newcastle at 2:30 or 3 depending on how many macca's i feel compelled to stop at :P

Anyway after speaking with a few of the newy guys you all get together on a sunday arvo? i wont be able to stop to long because i need to be in sydney for dinner but i would love to stop into newy or even meet on the highway somewhere and catch up with the newcastle guys! anyone keen?

i usually stop at that massive BP near the roundabout at the end of the freeway ... not sure how far that is from newcastle itself? maybe we could meet there ... or near the hexam bridge. oh well let me know if anyone is interested?

Yeah sounds good to me, the bp servo near the big round about is like 5 mins from my house, but if you want to catch up with some of the newcastle boys, hexam is probably ya best bet.

Ill spread the word around to the other astina locals and maybe we can meet up with you along your travels.

anywy getting back to the point Nate on the 6th, which is this sunday, wen are you goin through and where are you stoping hexham bridge or the BP, personally i think the BP would be alot easier you cant really stop anywhere on Hexham bridge.

he could stop at the Oak ??

Nate

lol yeah i meant oak ... wasnt sure if it was still open tho? i think the BP is set in place!

so we will aim for 3 pm at the BP? i will probably roll in a bit earlier but that gives me time to fill the car and stretch the legs!

and i have seen lots of cars stopped on that bridge! 2 face planted the wall, another one was squashed between the wall and a truck and amazingly one was on its roof! (that was when i was about 6 tho :p)

because panels do not make a car run good man

unless you've been watching too much F&F.... mmmm 143kw vinyls.......

the mechanical side of my car is looked after well thanks!! still on most original parts, and second set of brake pads... not bad for 230,000km!!!!


parts that have been replaced on the mechanical side have had some lead back to the driver.... like when my ex borrowed the car for a month or so it kept surging... that was due to a contaminent at the service centre.......... thanks tony!


any way in response to your actual question, sorry mate i'll be at Wyong G-G course with Butters

your taking the coast road i presume... hexham bridge has the oak just after you cross it.... like take right (from the bridge) in the left lane, because its in the next intersection!!!
