I've been wanting to organise this for a while so finally pulling my finger out.

The date is Sunday the 7th of September

Ok, so Meeting at Old Parliament House in the morning so we can leave at 9:30

From there we'll head out to Uriarra Crossing, than down to the Cotter, than head south to the Corin Dam. From there, back onto Tidbinbilla Road, down through Tharwa and (my favourite bit) up to the old tracking station at the end of Apollo Road. Finally finish up at Point Hut Crossing.

Here's a map: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?hl=en&am...615234&z=11

If anyone's interested, we can organise a BBQ or just drinks to put some more cash towards the banner. Or we can go to have lunch somewhere.

We'll be stopping at at least four places so there'll be planty of opportunities to take photos.

If anyone hasn't been out that way before, I've done this route lots of times on motorbikes and a few times with a car and it is lots of fun so if you're borred of driving from one traffic light to another I guarantee you'll enjoy this. The roads are good and if we go in the morning, traffic is usually minimal.

Cheers

7th would be better cos there's that motorkhana on the 24th... seems to suit most ppl anyway..

I'd love to come but it's a bit too early for me lol, I had enough trouble making 1pm (as everybody knows :ermm: )

It's looking more and more like the 7th.

Come on Shel, stop being so soft, you know you want to come :thumbsup:

Ps: it doesn't matter what car you come in, even a Datto 260Z will be ok although I'm yet to be convinced that it exists :ermm: having said that, open wheelers should probly be left at home

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
