Sorry Stefan but I have to miss this one too - best of luck with the weather and the run. Looking forward to some good pics.

I will be joining you all tomorrow! My leave pass has been stamped, my passport and visas are in order and I have successfully returned from the Shire on Thursday without being detected at the border crossing! Weather is great this afternoon in the mountains, so tomorrow is looking good... see you at Rotten Ronnies in the morning STM

Another excellent run with a great turnout (except those who were too hung over

). I was just sorry I didn't have time to do the Sofala bit as well.

I've got a few photos here ...

We spotted the friendly orange-striped, white Falcon on the way back home again too - he must have had a boring day following us all around and not getting to write any tickets (hopefully no tickets anyway).

Looks like you had a great day there guys, shame I missed it :frown:

. Was home pretty late from a concert last night (living colour

) and didn't think 5 hours sleep and 10 hours of driving would mix too well. If anyones got a run sheet they could e-mail that'd be cool!

Cheers

Fantastic drive STM! Really enjoyed myself today, and had a ball coming up Mt Vic with conchae!

Well done to all involved!

Now,now....don't start that again....

I must say the \"almost stock 1.6\" is purring after todays effort.
She just loves these long spirited drives.

some stupid reason i decided not to get petrol at Lithgow. i don't know what possessed me. i kind of knew there wasn't many petrol stations along Bells line of road. But the petrol guage was way past emty, when we got into Kurragong hts. .....I was kinda expecting to get out & walk any second. Just rolling down the hill :lol:

anyway, I finally got to a BP in Richmond.....phew.....but it was only 37 liters.....all this time I was getting worried. LOL

Traffic wasn't to bad on the way home. It was certainly there but it was moving.

Driving throughout the day was pretty good too. spirited but controlled.
the whole day was 570km for me.

:mrgreen:

thats from home to home. some members like BigDog would have had about 120-150km less than that :lol:

they've also resealed some of tose backroads since last year........SESATIONAL driving. :mrgreen:

Stan, sorry I couldn't make it but had something come up at the last minute. Sounds like it was a great day.

P.S. I still have your little present from Wakefield safely stashed away :mrgreen:

bigdog · Postby **bigdog** » Mon May 22, 2006 11:15 am

My round trip was about 460km, and like STM I held off refueling till I got back into the mountains where the price was 10c a litre cheaper :roll:

Unfortunately we copped the Sunday night crawl from Wentworth Falls on, with the trip from WF to Hazelbrook (about 6km) taking 30 mins :shock:

Rolled into the servo at Hazelbrook on vapours only I think. Average was 8.5l/100km - pretty good considering the amount of WOT time in the day.

So Steve, where are you hiding these days... don't see your SP parked on the road at work anymore, however there is a "hektic spek" orange "GOTNOS" MX5 in it's place? :shock:

? Something your not telling us, or is it just coincidence? :wink:
