In the spirit of diversity, and all Adam your car looks schmick as it is, wingless!

In, thanks

Great shots Milan and Raj! Milan you can see the bright red of your SV6 reflected in my rear brake disc Owen's new number plate got a lot of attention, and how good was Govett's Leap lookout, with David's car in front

Looking forward to this! Might bring the Beemer...

A good day out today, thanks to James for organising the event. I apologise (to the extent to which I'm responsible, anyway), for the pace early on. It was apparent to me that there was a miscommunication regarding who was actually leading the group (Terry or myself) and after Terry pulled over at Glenbrook and most of the group appeared to follow him off (and after calling to confirm that Terry was under the impression / had been told he was leading) I decided to take off and have a bit of the road to myself, because at least I know this corner of the earth. I wasn't expecting everyone to be following me from Glenbrook onwards. Up until that point on the M4 I was doing at or below the limit to ensure everyone was nice and close. *Anyway*. With regard to the rest of the day's pace, to be fair, we covered 280 kilometres all up. This also included no fewer than six waypoints / destinations along the way. Think about that! From Rhodes, to the twin servos, to Echo Point (three sisters, where there was no way we could park 20 cars in the vicinity) to Govett's Leap Road, Govett's Leap lookout, Megalong Valley tea rooms, to Bell via Mount Vic and then via Windsor Road to Victoria Road and finally RibTerranean. All in all, besides great food, cars and company, we also took in some amazing roads and were utterly spoiled by the weather. These roads included Cliff Drive from Leura to Echo Point then back to the highway; Govett's Leap road and lookout at Blackheath (with a simply amazing view over the Blue Mountains), Megalong Valley Road (despite some sharpish dips / undulations, an utterly incredible drive anyone who did it would agree); to Darling Causeway and Bells Line of Road through Bilpin and down past the lookouts at Bellbird Hill. Finally (for those who could make it), great food and service at RibTerranean Balmain. Taking all that into account, I don't think anyone who did the whole thing could really rate the event as anything but a brilliant day out and above expectations for a club cruise. Please bear in mind I was not an organiser of this cruise and was just along for the ride like the rest of you! Edit: Great job on the pics so far guys, keep them coming. Was also great to meet old faces and new - Pete, SammyD, Travis, Raj

Sunny skies over Rhodes right now!

Nice one James, thanks mate!

PM me dashcam vid link Ian? Do we know for sure monkey bar will be showing F1? It usually rates a distant second to the footy or a league or rugby in pubs

James, looking forward to the drive, but as you might know, the Malaysian GP is on that Sunday as well (race starts at 7pm). If we are upstairs, any chance of setting up a TV to have the race on in the background?

Will try and make this James, thanks for organising.

Yep they've had two airbags since the series II R33 in 1996 and optional side bags in the R34 since '99 I believe. Was good that the article at least went some way to talking about the qualities of the R34 as a tuner car. It also mentioned that the 34 can still be a challenge and won't do everything for you, which, to Kristian's point, is kind of a big drawcard for many people here on this forum.

Hey mate, give James a ring on (02) 8065 0987, they have a whole private upstairs section for functions etc, so I doubt there would be any problem.

Was a fantastic day, and great to meet some new people. Excellent run up the mountain despite the early start, that 10 degree air does wonders for our turbo motors! Obviously a massive shame about the R35, but what a brilliant finish to the race. Hope this means even bigger attendances next year and well into the future. Great pics Ravi. I've got a few more to come (and some that snapper Dave took too)

4 of us here so far, caffeined up!!

Bathurst forecast for Sunday is over 30 degrees - bring your sunscreen and a hat

A great session; aside from the heat I think the weekend afternoon format really worked well and I learned a lot - I think there was a good combination of basic and more technical information, and everyone I spoke to only had positive things to say. Thanks very much to Ian and Craig for their time, as well as Terry and the rest of the SAU Exec crew for organising it. It's stuff like this that sets the club apart from regular forums or FB-based groups. Also Nick - loved the Clio!

We pit the latest GT-R supercar against a pumped up version of its predecessor to see how far Godzilla has come in a decade. Nissan GT-R R35 vs Nissan GT-R R34 Can what was once one of the most dominant and influential cars to come out of Japan keep pace with its younger high-tech sibling? The short answer is no. But in modifying a 12-year-old R34-series Skyline GT-R to near-identical levels of performance as the current model, we begin to get an appreciation of a dozen years’ worth of automotive engineering. The technological advancements of the past decade have been significant, to say the least, and the new GT-R takes advantage of every single one of them. It is now, arguably, for the price the epitome of high-tech, high-performance motoring.

^^ Before, then after, he told you to put both hands on the wheel?

Sounds good Dave

Had to throw out favourite GStar jeans because of a split in the seam on the inner thigh. Fitworldproblems

Combined with the trend in skinny jeans and shorts which is in full swing. Forget trying to fit your wallet, phone and keys in your side pockets. I swear my jeans, shorts, or suit pants have almost blown out trying to tie shoes.
