Newcastle/central Coast Cruise To Broke And Back! 2/12/12


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Its our 3rd cruise and this time were going broke!

Martin and I sused out the route today and we both agree the road is better then Old Pac! (much of the same just heaps longer fun bits)

The roads are a mixture of everything you could ask for in the country, wide open roads, tight hair pins, bumps, turns, sweeping bends, old bridges (low lip safe) and great scenery for passengers haha.

Date: 2/12/12

Meet time: 9:00

Leave time: 9:30~

Lunch time: 1130~

Finish time: 1:30~

If your running late and dont have anyones number pm me and ill get the email and reply.

The meeting point for everyone will be in one spot as there isnt any good spots to meet on the outskirts of newcastle and central coast so we will all meet here:/

Directly west of toronto, bit out of the way of people i know but atleast there will be no confusion on the day as its just off the freeway and we will have people coming from sydney, all along the coast, newcastle, maitland, cessnock, EVERYWHERE!

Oh and dont worry south people because the cruise finishes at your door step.

theres a lot parking as shown here where to park, try and get right up the back as we dont want to get in the way of anyone:

From here we will follow the route shown on the map below, the only thing close to traffic will be going through cessnock where we will be patient and give way to EVERYONE.

its a small town and no one cares about your BOVs, straight pipes or gates (hahah) except for us! so save it for the country and be as quiet as you can as respect for members for the public!! (and to keep bad attention of us!!)

From broke "C" to the end of our cruise is an AWESOME ROAD!! the drive to cessnock is a nice cruisy hwy with nice scenery and a few twisties in the middle.

the reason for our detour up the top of the map is to avoid coilover busting bumps that are the worst ive ever seen, this detour avoids all those so no doors fall off our cars!!!

We will be stopping for lunch at wollombi pub "D" who told us they can handle 40 people coming in, ill call them just to be sure they put more staff on when we get closer to the day.

Martin spotted the 400g steak for 23 bucks on the menu!

A photo spot has been chosen infront of a open meadow with a bit of mountain behind it that all the photo nuts will froth over, a passing local said there is barely any traffic so we should have time to park on a slight angle on the side of the road and get some nice shots :)

After that we will go further south which involves a few hair pins and then opens up to a 100 zone (which i could barely maintain) and to our end location for a drink at a cafe if needed and we split from there :action-smiley-069:

Ofcoarse on this cruise we will be sticking to the speed limit as we have done on our other ones, i have just driven this and the speed limit is more then enough fast enough to enjoy.

Remember this is a cruise not a race, race day is at wakefield in nov,

We WILL:

Give way to everyone and everything!

Stick to the speed limit

NOT hoon

NOT be loud and stupid, ESPECIALLY in towns (low rpm!)

Have a great day like on our other cruises :wub:

ANY CAR IS WELCOME, ANY PERSON IS WELCOME, AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEHAVED AND HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!!!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
