Important things to note;

1. Bring a full tank of petrol to the start point, there are no petrol stations/stops until Singleton.

2. Only place for 98 Octane fuel in Singleton is BP 53 George St, Singleton. They're open on Sundays.

3. This will go ahead if raining, although if hail is forecast check this thread on the day to check (just incase) if its been called off. We will make this call the night before

4. This is not a speed event, its a cruise. Want to speed? Go to a trackday instead!

Cheers guys

Sounds good im keen to get the 32 out!

Open to Skylines only?

[SNOQPY]

open to anyone you do not need a skyline to attend this cruise

[livewire]

Let me know numbers. I'm good mates with the new publican at the imperial hotel so will be able to help out with a few things as I know there was a problem last cruise with the amount of people that turned up. Will even be able to book out the beer garden area for us if yous like but don't wanna stuff him around if we get noone turn up which is looking possible with the current response on here lol. P.s. I'm in but will probably meet yous halfway between here and Sydney and drive back with yous.

[Global_Warmer]

I am also in. May even go one better than livewire and nip down the full length of Putty road so I can cruise back up with you guys. I missed the last one due to gearbox troubles.

The stuff up with the pub last time was not enough staff to handle the amount of people that turned up on the day.

To make it a success, we need a better idea of the numbers attending in advance. I'd hate for all you siders-siders to complain again about another country pub that couldn't meet your expectations.

Livewire, are we rostered off the day of the cruise or is it gunna be a "sick day"?

[livewire]

I just checked and you are off but looks like I'll have to take annual leave cause I'm on c crew now. Hopefully not comin off nightshift or will have to take sat and sun off. Doesn't look like too many people are keen though. It's only 4 weeks away. Ah dammit, that means I'll be on nightshift. You get paid as if at work for annual leave don't you? I'm not makin the mistake of takin a sickie on a sat or sun night lol.

Well if its on the 31st july, then i am on day shift and YOU are on nightshift. Youll need to take sat and sun night off to attend the event!

ALL annual leave is paid as if at work OR you could work till 12pm/am, go home sick and still get paid for the whole shift as if it work (trust me, i did this one the other day).

Not to worry if no one attends... atleast the pub of choice will be able to handle the load! (unlike the Albion) But, the last cruise, people didn't really show a whole heap of interest on here. It was the number of people that turned up on the day that blew the attendance numbers up.

[livewire]

Ah that's right, you're on A crew, thought you were D crew. Well yeah, your dayshift then which isn't so bad. Haha, don't think option B would be a good idea during probation lol. Well hopefully people speak up and get keen son then so I can give the publican notice. Last turnout was decent judging by the pics and review.

[SNOQPY]

its also on facebook, im not expecting a giant 200 car turn out like last time. but 5-10 cars is always a nice turn out

[MattyFlynn]

I'll be keen for this, if I go I'll prob bring 6-8 cars with me.

But yea this is if i don't have to work lol

[livewire]

Plenty of time to give work notice ;-)

[MattyFlynn]

U would think that ay lol

It's hard to get time off where I'm at, plus I'm like team leader so that makes it even harder ha

[Global_Warmer]

Plenty of time to give work notice ;-)

Well Chop Chop Kev! Get it sorted!!!

[GTRsean]

This is actually where the carpark is.

And pretty much my door step.

Police patrol this road a lot, so no silly stuff!!!

[stig mick]

Ok well my s14 is ready to go now, had to sit the last Sydney cruise out cause the shocks were gone and it was getting a tune but I'm defiantly gonna be ready for this one

Hope I'm not the only S chassis turning up

[Duncan]

Just a quick clarification because the first post is a little contradictory.

This cruise is not an official SAU:NSW cruise organised via the club and with CAMS insurance, but rather a privately organised cruise.

The official SAU:NSW cruise will be on later in the year, in the meantime our next official cruise is late July, a thread will be posted in the next few days

Have a good day out

[N1GTR]

Just to add to that, if anyone thinks it sounds like the saunsw cruise from last year, that's because that first post is a copy paste from the one I wrote least year.

[livewire]

I thought it looked very familiar lol. Was wondering why another putty cruise was happening so soon after the last one. All good reason to get the cars out none the less

[SargeRX8]

The drive looks really long lol, I need an honest answer, do you guys suffer fatigue or get 'sick' of driving that long on these roads? Ill be keen on this one. Hopefully a full tank can make that trip and I can only attend if I fix my brakes...

[Shell]

No. And after the lunch & chat at Singleton, I do the entire cruise again in reverse back down the Putty Road....AND THEN drive home to Canberra

Depends how much you like driving I guess
