Saturday January 31 - Pacific Highway Cruise -Newcastle - Page 8

bRaDiNhO · 19-01-2004, 09:47 AM

James, I'd be with you but will be heading back down by about 12:30 - 1. Photo ops on F3 will be limited - you can not create a moving roadblock on a road where cars frequently travel 120-130 in order to take photos. And fun is via backroads, not driving straight through roadworks. And there are no goats in the bush :P

MrShadow · 19-01-2004, 10:06 AM

As I said earlier, I'm easy no matter what. We still using the UFH radios? I need one for another reason, so I've got one anyway.

KittyKatSmack · 19-01-2004, 11:44 AM

bRaDiNhO: you obviously haven't seen the photo's taken on the freeway on the way to and from Ulladulla then.

I doubt we will be travelling at 130kmh in a 90-100kmh zone, and I doubt the fella's on the Ulladulla cruise did either for their photos.......

If you really think the only fun is to be had on backroads, you haven't considered the possibility of travelling with this many cars.........

Besides, I am fun EVERYWHERE!!!

:lol:

cruising at 110, one hand on wheel, one on camera.....
no worries mate....she'll be right... 8)

bRaDiNhO · 19-01-2004, 02:02 PM

We're not travelling at 130.... read the post and u'll see its average speed on the freeway of others.

Ulladulla fortunately is not travelled as frequently as the route to Gosford.... the more cars the harder it is to drive slow and take up space. The main point im getting at is it will be IMPOSSIBLE to do what you are suggesting on 25kms of roadworks with stones flying up and lots of other cars. I think the compromise was fair, but if we still want one way or the other then whatever, i'm there either way as i just want a good day out. I aint gonna stay home if its one way or the other. Sabrelli and James are the only ones to organise a decent Sydney cruise for ages, and yet everyone now seems to be able to do a better job and has a better route. JAmes posted 2 great routes and there hasn't been that much negative feedback, seems like most people are happy to get out there and have fun. Theres 25 people coming and we've barely heard from anyone, so why we still trying to change it?

Finally, as in the compromise suggested... i aint only on backroads. From memory I suggesed we take the freeway the majority of the way apat from the Brooklyn-Gos stretch. It would just be nice to have a change from 300km round trip of straight road.

Anyway, sick of bitchin about this, so set a route and i'll be at Thornleigh ages b4 anyone else to see yous all rock up. Until then.....

Cruising 140 miles per hour, no hands, head down looking at maps, no worries. It's all good.

arden · 19-01-2004, 05:22 PM

25km of roadworks??????and stones flying up???i for one dont wanna go down that route....

Ive never been past chatswood, so when it comes to these different routes...i got no idea what to expect...so count me out on fixing final route.

preeman80 · 19-01-2004, 07:25 PM

I am cool with it all, if you guys are willing to drive your cars on it :wink: .. its good for me! 8)

Critter · 19-01-2004, 09:28 PM

Ummm, 25km of loose gravel.....I don't think so........we can cruise without that!!

of course there's road works and there's roadworks........

KittyKatSmack · 19-01-2004, 10:09 PM

******NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD !!!!****

Maybe I should get a CRX? :roll: (See public discussions...)

Aside from that, thanks for the confirmation Odd Rod, at this stage Bek & I are still looking to book a couple of square metres of floor...

Kitty, I'll check for an air matress, I think my old man has a couple... PM you when I find out...

bRaDiNhO · 19-01-2004, 11:20 PM

Look, roadworks aint that bad i was just in a ****e mood and using persuasive tactics.... although there are still roadworks. Havent been there for 3 weeks now tho.

Anyway, as part of the big happy AstinaGT family (although like the forgotten middle son) I'm doing whatever everyone wants to do. 9am at Maccas it is for me, and drive up to newcastle whether it be... well, any road.

And JJ, :
"I have evidence to suggest that this may not be the case this time. Whilst not the "one", I by definition will make you not the only! "
WTF?!?!?!? At least i assume there is 2 BGs coming now!

See u all at the embassy.....

platypus · 20-01-2004, 12:27 AM

yes american embassay is the starting point...

ok everyone its official, i'm not pissed any more... just got a lot going on!!!

road works are safe, but to avoid congestion a bit of twisty isn't a bad thing is it? we will do it for about 20km... which we can totally reform on the F3....? road is smooth, drove it home today.... roadworks are also smooth, but two lanes, through 80km zone... ( i know we arn't racing but.....) let make a break through the old for a little while from brooklyn, and then come back out...
next break at the wyee twin caltex
followed by newcastle....
in all honesty i have no idea what anyone wants to do... we can do a sit down lunch if you like (where's the newcastle support crew???:evil: j/k)
i was happy to park look at cars, grab some random grease burger, and chow it down.... i'm easy like a $2 hooker!!! (and no sorry i don't go down like one)

i'll have to head to thornleigh early, as i actually have some business to attend to across the road, so i shall be there at 8:30 (damn RTA and their licence renewals ... grrrrrr) my car will be parked at maccas!!! its the white one with crappy mesh on the front, and a farty exhaust.... (but looks v. stock!!) oh yeah and has mafia tint .... if you don't know my rego, then i'll have to hit you when you rock up

anywayz..... i suppose i'll look into this whole thing, before i make bookings for a place to eat, perhaps i should know numbers?? like who is bringing who?? (i'll be by myself.... gf has the ****s with me coz i forgot we were doing something on the 31st... priorities... astinagt, my protege, work, and sleep)

just give me those numbers by thursday night (friday morning) please? i don't want to chase people!!!

ciao!!
