alright, due to the amount of pressure, and the twisting-my-arm that has gone on here i think i might just have to make an appearance then.
or in other words

I'M COMING!!!

never mind the 30knot Southerly's. nor the fact that Gramps predicted it 3 weeks ago...

Rofe park naturally,
you up for an OPH on the way Matt?

Might as well Shadow - another Southerly coming through late Saturday according to BOM but that could easily be early Sunday with their forecasting AND think about the rain and being burdened by all that wet weather gear

Best to have fun in your Five

not to worry, i'll let Matt go first :lol:

talk about doing a thousand miles in a weekend though.
from tonight my car will be going:
gosford->castle hill->gosford->newcastle->gosford->hornsby->blue mountains ->gosford
who thinks they can predict the closest odometer reading?
my guess will be around 700 by sunday night.

Very hot day in Sydney today :evil:

but all the better for tomorrow's run.
Cooler weather ideal for top down driving with only a slight chance of a shower and that will be coastal - so dry roads for us all the way to Mt. Victoria

Washing my car at the moment so it at least looks clean for when I arrive tomorrow!

Good idea. With all of the extras you have fitted you will have a lot of lookers tomorrow - almost like having your own personal Concours d'Elegance :lol:

I was hoping to have fitted a few more things for this months run, will just have to sort them out for next month instead!

while on the topic of washing cars i would like to offer the following in my defense.

the car was washed this morning, however, newcastle seems to have a rather large population of bugs which are attracted to nice clean cars.
thus i pass the blame of my now dirty car not on the lack of washing but instead on the foolish bugs who got in the rode. :mrgreen:

looking forward to drooling over your car Salamander :!:

I've never been to Rofe Park... although I know how to get to Hornsby Heights... Is it easy to find? Can anyone give directions.. I'll be coming from the Pacific Highway->Galston Rd..

thanks

Hi Salamander, Rofe Park is on Galston Road, on the right hand side as you head towards Galston Gorge - just look for the MX5's. If you get the the traffic lights at Sommerville Road you have gone too far.

I'm looking forward to seeing your new Roadster Coupe tomorrow :mrgreen:
