Sorry Michael I have to disagree with you.

Whilst the road is twisty in places its very ordinary due to the 50 speed limit in most places, incessant round abouts, pedestrians and the young children on bikes. I know there is a bike / walking track for these people but more often than not they are utilising the road too.

For you or any Mx5er to suggest that this is a good road or YOUR favourite road to drive I would suggest you get out more often... Sounds like youre working too hard to get out and about 8)

Sorry to put down your idea but I personally dont want to encourage people to drive this road expecting an awesome experience only to be let down.... and nor would I like to see people traveling from afar to hoon on this road only to come to grief.

Thanks for your understanding.

I was on that road today ( REDDALL Pde ) at around 4:30pm and I passed an Mx5 red Hard top with Green P plates.. I think the rego started with Add or ada something like that....

Was this you?

I wouldnt mind catching up with you sometime with the cars just to compare things etc..... Its a nice looking miata and seems youve done some nice things to it.....

It's probably not a real good idea to advertise where you park your car all day on a public internet forum. It makes it easy for thieves to compile their shopping lists.

As you drive from Warrawong towards Warilla across the Windang Bridge, take the first right - thats Reddall Pde. I saw what I think was your car driving past the Lake Illawarra School towards Oak Flats.

Might pop down sometime soon and look over your car :)

I recently went to pedders also for a safety check and asked them to look over the car and advise cost for lowering, new shocks , springs and basically prepare it for my intentions to use it on track days eventually...

$1800 dollars - Forget it.

I have a good friend who owns Wollongong Auto Excellence in Keira St wollongong ( across from Fitness First ) have a chat to him as he may be able to help...

His name is Nick and he really knows his stuff
