Didn't have any scares, loved the cruise from the ferry through to dural.. no-one for miles..

And thanks to Duncan and Kel and Adam for organising and as mona said the food was great !!!!

PS

Next time if you want bread PM me, I do night shift at a bakery as a second job :P

Was a HUGE day for us, but we loved it!

Well done to Kel and Duncan for organising it, even though the Castle Hill end was a friggin nightmare for someone who doesn't live in Sydney.

But once we got out near Windsor I was having a ball!

Even though I was freaking out a little when the clues started to get further apart.

Thanks again!

I'll be back next year and hopefully with more of the Newy Crew

Top day, thanks to all the organisers, kept us entertained along the way and using our brains... :P

i did a 111km journey, so all up today pumped out about 250kms total, pretty wrecked and the car is still clean amazingly!

Big thanx to Duncan, Kel and Adam - awesome day guys! We had a ball and will definately come again (hopefully won't take so long next time!!! hahahahahaha!)

Food was awesome - thank u whoever did all that too!

Was great to meet some new peeps and see some we already knew - just a great day all round...

Thanx guys! :P

Thanks to everyone who came along today- we had a record 41 cars which is awesome!

Congrats also to the winners:

1st: Kasey & Wayne (also winners of the "Biggest Effort Taken to get an Answer Prize", thanks to their chats with Raymond and the ferry blokes, along with their journey into the RSL for the memorial garden question)

2nd: Steve & Co-driver (sorry didn't catch their name- pls post and let us know)

3rd: Jason & Amanda (who probably still haven't quite recovered from last year's title winning performance).

It was the closest contest yet and the perpetual trophy is again in good hands.

Ofcourse we can't forget the winners of our *special* prizes:

Most kms travelled: Keith & Team

Least kms travelled: Liz Jane

Most optimistic speedo: Liz

Finally, special thanks to Mel & Neil, Adam, Nick and Rosie for all the help setting things up, getting people organised and fed and cleaning up!

And welcome to the 5 new members who joined the club on the day!

Oh my god!!! We won! :w00t: :PBJ: :PBJ: :w00t: Dont know how many times I said that to Kasey on the way home. What a day, had a great time and we didnt even file for divorce at the end of it (bonus). A big thanks goes to everyone who created that run and the questions *nutbaggers*, never done an event like this before. First of many we hope!

Awsome lunch, could have had hot snags if we didnt take twice as long to get there as everyone else!!!

Thanks for the cool prizes, I now have a fully hectic oil cap on my ride that I will show the rest of the coasties this Thursday night at our usual meet while telling them they missed a cool day out.

Good to meet some new people and put faces to names and stuff, of coarse we will be back next year but will more than likely see you all at another event soon!!

:thanks::(:ninja:

Neil.you looked a bit sloshed. :( We were wrecks from the night b4.with 3hrs sleep :ninja:.

Party on!!!

Awesome cruise and an excellent day out! I missed the last years so this was the first and didn't really know what to expect. First look at the clue sheet and I thought.. "oh shit.. we're screwed". Somehow though we only managed to make a mess of the Castle Hill bit and the rest was sweet from there. :ninja:

BIG THANKS to Duncan, Kel, Adam and anyone else involved in organising the event. Jen and I had a great time and we can't wait for next years! We'll even try not to come in last!! :(

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
