Thanks to everyone, esp. James for organising today's run. Everything was just perfect, awesome turnout and how hot is Dweezle's car!

Thanks Guran for the long way home. You set a pretty decent pace :lol:

bit suspensful with the fuel, but i managed to get to hornsby with 3 litres to spare.

Looking forward to the next run!

Glad you enjoyed the return trip too, hamx5ter

. A bit too much traffic for my liking, but it's a great drive to Wollombi and Wisemans Ferry. Glad you made it to Hornsby for fuel. I did my bit for the Dural economy, paying 10c/L more than I did at 5:30am the same morning at Thornleigh.

Had my lap timer logging the whole day; can't wait to export it to Google Earth for a virtual day trip :mrgreen:

Tell me about the fuel... filled up at Caltex Hornsby at 133c/litre... 42 litres for 480kms.. a damn sight more expensive than last night .. 117c/litre :evil:

at the first regroup, i counted about 21 cars, so there would have been about 23-24ish at most.

thanks for another great run jimi :mrgreen:

mmm, hope the hamster wasn't too upset you were copying his moves. In any case, sounds like no harm done so

Thanks to all who turned up, and a big thanks to Michael for his significant contribution (not least in the selection of food venue). I counted 24 cars total - a pretty impressive turn up!

Great shots, and glad everyone had a good day!

Cheers,
James

Really sorry I wasn't able to come on this run, it sounds like it was a great day

Unfortunately, last minute uni commitments demanded my attention so I couldn't make it. But I will definitely be at the next club track day and I won't be missing next year's Iceberg Run!

Can't wait until the next edition of Club Torque to see all of the photos...

Congrats everyone for having a safe and memorable day, that's what driving is all about!
