Weather looks good, see you there if you can make it, I should be there a little after 7:30

I would love to come.
But my achilles tendon decided to part company with my calf muscle on my left ankle.
So I wont be driving a manual for some time.
Will have to wait for scans to see if I can get away with rehab or surgery to fix.
My guess is surgery so I wont be driving MINX for couple months. :cry:

Anyone want to lend me an Auto MX5?

Abra-Cadaver! I bring ye to life!

Due to the invention of Cars and Coffees early morning first Saturday of the month, it's has been suggested that we should revert back to LAST FRIDAY of the month for our Nebo runs.
Same meeting place & time.

So see y'all on the 25th March.

Indeed - there was another fatal up there on Friday night (March 11, a bit before midnight) with a young fella in a WRX. Don't know any circumstances other than he's ended up down an embankment and there was talk of the car coming back on a flatbed with the glasshouse crushed to the windowline.

There's a recent editorial from some old fart bitching about all the so called hoons ruining his motorcycle rides.

His term for them is "doof doof drivers"

Intellectual giant with an extensive vocab.

It happens pretty much at least once a week up there and it can be any night of the week.

I here modified cars head up the hill after 9:30-10:00pm and odds on around 30 minutes later I'll hear the sirens from the firies and/or ambos heading up the hill in a hurry.

About the only time you don't hear sirens is after hearing a flat plane crank 8 or a V10 or 12 or a few together heading up the hill, maybe those with the really expensive cars are better skilled or actually don't do stupid speeds up there so as not to crash.

So who's actually going? I'm 90% sure I will be.

See y'all tomorrow night

Encountered the galaxy's slowest driver. Apegrip and I passed him/her a few mins before Jolly's (doing about 40km/h), and even after a 15min chat there, we came up to him/her again literally crawling down the uber twisty bit just after My Nebo village.
Didn't see any L or P plates, car seemed to be in good order.

A few cops around but not near the mountain.

Some roadworks fixing the shoulders.

The few 80 signs are no longer there. I don't think they've been replaced by 70 signs, simply removed.

They have finally posted a 40 sign and lots of reflective yellow/black arrows on that one semi-open left hander to replace the very inappropriate 80. Even in an mx5 you'd have to be quite brave to take it close to 80.
