Have (lack of) exhaust issues at the moment will see if I can sort something before the weekend, maybe just add a bend to the straight through for now .
May be a no show.

Hi, new to these forums so unsure of the etiquette - is it too late to sign up to this? I'd be interested in driving in a pack of MX5s; that would be a first for me

NB8A, '99 model

For some reason I still haven't got around to taking a decent photo of it. Gave it an awesome wash and polish the other weekend but then couldn't resist going straight out onto the royal national park road (just around the corner from me). Of course this was just before sunset and it came back covered in dead bugs. And then it rained all week. *sigh*

Hi Doctor Bob, and welcome to the forum! As Regie said, there is no such thing as 'too late' to sign up.

If you're there at the Oaks, you're sure to be welcomed to join the party! We should be coming through at 7, so be there a little early.

PS I'm shire as well, and there are a few of us, so keep an eye out for the next southside runs!

eh you know what, I think I'll be missing some of the good bits by picking up at picton... I just looked at it from a "which is closer" perspective. Think I'll try and get to the M4 @ 5:30 option. Since there's a few more shire-folk going - how long would it take to get to the start point roughly, at that time...? Haven't got around to getting an etag for this thing yet so no tollroads for me.

Jimi · Postby **Jimi** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 10:55 pm

At that hour of the morning, it will be a little under an hour from Sutherland to the Eastern Creek servo via the M7. If you're intent on avoiding the tolls, then either King Georges Rd, or Silverwater Rds will put you there in a similar amount of time, but with a little more navigation required.

Hope to see you there!!
James

Hey guys - too late to change plans now. The run notes on the club website say 7:25-7:35 at Picton Station. If the run arrives at meet point 2 earlier than that, I suggest you wait until 7:25 or else you'll have some pissed off club members who miss the run.

Doc - you're welcome to join me at the Picton meet. I'll be in my NC.

Correct - I should have clarified - All times are per the run sheet (available from the MX5 Club Events section)

My prior post was in reference to the run-leader-swap eta at the oaks, and not related to the allotted time at
Picton Station. Sorry for any confusion! :oops:

I've been poring over the routes and got my wires crossed.
