Northern Beaches cruise

Postby ED_MX5 » Mon Sep 01, 2014 5:08 pm

Hey all. Just curious, are there any people here that meet up with any sort of regularity that live near the Northern Beaches area? I'm keen to meet up and chat with some other people on here.
One of my regular runs is Palm Beach. Or up to bobbin head. Old Pacific Highway drives are my favourite, but I usually do that one on weekends during the day.

Cheers all, hope to catch up with some of you.

I spend way to many days at Palm Beach for Work. :)

Not much of a drive here though?

I think we should kick start the old Fish and Chip's run but maybe a new destination?

I would be up for that especially with the warmer weather coming.

There is a café up near Peats Ridge which is a fair way up the old pacific highway. Reasonable burgers, enough seating to accommodate a few of us. I have not been there, but have been told that the coffee and lunch down Bobbin head is ok as well. I'm happy to guinea pig it if anyone is interested.

Hi. I'm down near Chatswood but I cruise through McCarrs and the old pac now and then. Haven't been very active on the forums but planning on meeting more people from my area so a regular cruise would be good.

Hey guys. No cruise but people around the area are free to come work on my car which is currently out of action.

The car started idling low and stalling on its own last Saturday. Then last Sunday it broke down on Wakehurst Pkwy and my car hasn't been starting up (it's cranking) even after recently changing the fuel filter, spark plugs and ignition coils. I'll be installing some new leads tomorrow and trying out some other stuff and welcome any advice or spare hands to help out.

PM me for the address if you'd like to help out.

Check to see if it is sparking as it could possibly be the Crank Angle Sensor.

There are some great driving roads around that area but with the number of cyclists it's too dangerous not to drive carefully.

It’s sad that someone has died but equally as bad to hear a 17 year old is going to have his life changed for one mistake. I have seen so many people driving recklessly around there and it could of happened to any of them (not that they'd admit it though).
