You Bet!!!

And get your Daily Telegraph to-day everyone!

Keep that CARS Guide Cover Story as your personal Memento forever!!!

Congratulations Bobby!

Many many thanks to David Fitzsimons - Daily Telegraph Motoring Editor for a wonderful job over 2 full pages #99-100!

Got it Only problem is the link is a misnomer, the "Events" section... But wasn't specified under the NSW section.

Just to reiterate regarding food / lunch;

There will be a range of pies, light snacks and soft drinks available through the Edge Cinema.

Keeping in mind the movie is to start at 1:30pm sharp, there are also tons of cafes / takeaway shops etc just over the highway in Katoomba. This is a pretty relaxed 10-minute walk (each way) *up* the exit driveway of the Edge (Civic Pl), head right when you hit the highway to the next set of lights and take the railway overpass into Katoomba.

However, if you're getting your car photographed through Eric (Pezhead) or want to spend more time hanging around the cinema to check out the cars before the movie starts it might be wiser to bring a packed lunch due to time limitations (particularly for the later groups).

Yeah, I liked the way DF was able to meld the whole story into a smooth continuous stream.

[NISMO]

Always modest, you are.

Wish I had a build like yours in my mid 30s

...unless you cheated and held your breath?

[God_speed]

Also picked up the DT today. Great piece. Love your car mate.

Shame you can't fully enjoy her though as you want to keep the kms down and preserve her condition. Have to do a Ferris Bueler Not that I'd endorse that kind of thing.

Don't worry mate, you're not the only one. Got new coils installed today and it's now got pretty bad misfire lol. Trying to fix it before the cruise!

Great little article grabbed a copy on the way home last night, then thought I should clean my car some more so I pulled all the wheels off and starting polishing up my brake callipers haven’t cleaned them since World Time Attack bloody brake dust. All red and shinny again Hope it dosent rain now.

Hey all - tomorrow IS the big day.

Here is a map in case anyone wants it. I've highlighted a couple of the key turns.

For best results save this picture file and print it in full resolution.

If anybody is lost on the day with road directions to/from or when up at katoomba around the area yell out to me (red ss ute) lived in penrith my entire life and spend 14hrs a day on the roads in the blue mountains so know it better than anywhere.

As a side note for the journey home from Katoomba which I think will be after 4pm, in all honesty it's going to be an absolute shit fight getting from Katoomba (iMAX) to Penrith (M4). Due to massive highway road works, during the week it has taken from 1.5 to 3 hrs just to do half that trip of 21km (which is normally around 15-20mins tops) so do not expect to get home any time before 8pm and make sure you have plenty of fuel for idling in traffic because fuel servo's are few and far between. The absolute worst weekend of the entire year to hold this event but still im looking forward to it.

most definitely, i'm pretty sure Terry still has quite a few tickets left

Also as someone who grew up in the mountains I know Sunday arvos can be a pain going East, + Bathurst weekend + roadworks. Won't be so bad with some company in the car and some music. But you can also consider hanging around Katoomba until after about 8-9pm; there are tons of nice places to eat around Katoomba / Leura like the Carrington (Katoomba St nr station), Canton Palace (246 Katoomba St), and so on.

Wall St Money Never Sleeps is also playing at the Edge at 5.40pm / The Other Guys at 5.30pm on the day, together with a bunch of other movies (with sessions on at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm) so that's another option for delaying your trip home if that's something you can afford to do.
