I do want to have a chat about where you got that front bumper/nose... It looks like the Mazdaspeed one is that so?

What time are we leaving?

I am figuring it's about a 3.5 to 4 hour (from memory)drive via the most direct route posted speed limits (double demerits remember???). Do we aim to get there at the starts or some time around 10 ish? :)

Canberra to Sydney is about 3hrs while staying under the speed limit the whole way. I regularly have to drive from the Canberra CBD to Macquarie Park; <3hrs each way.

Heads up on the average speed camera as you come on to the Federal though. It's about a 20km stretch.

Ok. Looks like it might be a little too complicated to organize a convoy from Sydney to depart around 630am from a central location.

Regie, are you still up for it? Shall we all meet at the venue from 930 and keep an eye out for NSW plated 5's?

Thanks to Grant for organizing this run, whilst it was only the two cars, we had the best time just cruising down, joining in the fun at the show and shine (talking not showing) and a gentle cruise home!
Well done, thanks Mate!!
