IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!!

We're taking off once more on a nice casual cruise, this time on a Saturday. For those that came on the last southern cruise, and especially those that were all "OH MY GOD! I LOVED IT!" well, you better be here again, because this one is going to be even bigger and better.

This cruise is going to have a bit of everything, for everyone, there'll be some nice country side roads, there'll be some twisties, and even a bit of the ol' freeway.

This really is going to be one of those cruises you don't want to miss... I bet you've heard someone tell you how good the Royal National Park is, I'm putting money on the fact you would love to have a crack at Macquarie Pass, some of you may have even done these two roads before, but have you ever put your car across the Kangaroo Valley? Because on the 26th of February, we're doing all three!

This is the type of cruise, that you WILL need a full tank of fuel. There will be a fuel stop as well after the first 1/3rd of the cruise. We'll also be stopping at the 2/3rds mark some pies, as tradition dictates when you go up Macquarie Pass, at the Robertson Pie Shop

Ok so here's the details;

Date: February 26th, 2011

Meet at: Waratah St, in the parking spaces near the corner of Bath Road.

Who: Anyone with any car (doesnt have to be a Skyline)

What time should I get there: 9am for a 9:30AM departure.

How Much: Fuel and food money, that's it.

The route: I'll have printed maps on the day for people, but the basics, from Kirrawee, down through the Royal National Park, through Lawrence Hargrave Drive, up Bulli Pass, down the F6, stopping at Shell in Albion Park. Up Macquarie Pass stopping at the Robertson Pie Shop. Through the Kangaroo Valley to stop in Berry at the local pub for some chit chat/food.

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.

There will be NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit.

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to eat and drink.

So is Berry the final destination?? im heading to canberra on saturday an dthis could be a nice way to start the day off.

Yes, berry is the Final destination, you can then choose to head home or stay and talk.

If you were headed for Canberra, I'd probably suggest you skip the turn into Kangaroo Valley, keep heading straight until you hit a roundabout a bit up the road, turn left and just follow it, and it will put you on the Hume Highway not too far north of Marulan DTC.

is it ok if my paint is coming off ?ermm.gif

sounds like a good drive, although not friendly if your from the central coast, maybe 2 tanks of fuel.

would be cool if we could organize a cruise on the north side, maybe the old pacific hwy :D

There was a Putty Rd cruise not long back; and there's other Old Pac runs too. This is the exception for those of us who live south.

The march cruise that is planned and will be posted next Saturday night after this one is a shorter, but just as enjoyable northern side of Sydney cruise.

Our members also have a regular cruise up the coast, if you join up to sau:nsw club you'll see the extra stuff ;)

Great work Matt and Owen!

Please take note of the fact that Matt mentioned we'll stop at Shell servo Albion Pk!

There is also alternatively BP, Caltex and Shell at Albion Pk Rail along Princes Hwy before turning right onto Tongarra Rd.

It is advisable to fill up around here even if you're still half full because...

Robertson, Kangaroo Valley and Berry often run out of 98 (or don't have it)

Additional to that, I don't know where E85 is down here....

We have no E85, and it is a fuel thirsty route up through Mac pass and kangaroo valley with lots of tight up hill turns in 1st an 2nd gear, you will burn alot. Highly advise taking Jerry cans if on e85

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
