ATTENTION MEMBERS 

 

 

A Message from the SAUNSW President.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I can have your attention please.... While sad, this is something important to us!

It’s with great sadness that I report that the committee and I have agreed to cancel everyone’s favourite Putty Road cruise next week... For obvious reasons, the bushfires have affected the whole Putty area, with the whole of Putty Road being closed..

Many of you have messaged me about this, and have been asking if there’s a ‘Plan B’. We’ve had a few ideas, but because the fires are widespread, our plans keep going up in smoke (no pun intended)...

The team and I recognise that many of you would still like to have an event of some sort, even if it’s something local! So, I’d like to open up the stage to your suggestions! Don’t be scared, no suggestion is too stupid... You never know, your suggestion might start up a new favourite event for us all?? So please drop it in the comments section below!

If you like someone else’s suggestion, please also like their comment!

Get creative gang! It’s time for a serious team effort!

1. My go to: Robertson pie shop, typically enough parking if you get there before 1130. Pies, apple turnovers with cream and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, plus multiple entry and exit options. The run home to Sydney, via Jamberoo and Kiama, is a sweet drive.

2. Road Warriors Cafe. Pies and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, parking is limited on some days.

3. Ummmmm, Crashdowns place for mad driveway skids and fridge raiding?????

There's always the royal natio too

Although I enjoy the Nasho the Sunday traffic is horrendous, and finding somewhere for 10 or 20 cars to park up is near on impossible, plus, no pies, cakes or coffee.

I'm a fat old bastard that thrives on pies, cakes and coffee.

Logistically the Nasho is a easy choice for me as it's just down the road, maybe if we could organise a BBQ? Maybe?Parking?

Closed due to fire risk?

Total fire ban?

Entry fee of $12.50, which is always noticed when the rangers of cops turn up and find 20 imports parked together, plus it goes to a good cause.

Would need to get their really early to stake a claim/parking.

There is "some" room here > Dropped pin
Near Royal National Park NSW 2233

In saying this the Nasho gets full and closed out regularly at this time of the year.

What are the Execs looking at?

The events committee has decided to postpone another official event/cruise until next year, mainly because of time restraints organising the event insurance, notice to venues etc. 

The SAUNSW President has also posted this on the clubs facebook page.

Howdy guys and gals!

As I’m sure you’re all aware, NSW has been ravaged by severe bushfires these past few weeks. Sad to say, even our favourite Putty Road has not escaped unpunished.

We’ve tried to hold out as long as possible before making a final call on our Putty Road cruise scheduled for this Sunday. Regretfully, as the whole of Putty Road is still closed, and with the fires now nearing Singleton, we’ve had no other choice but to cancel our cruise.

What makes this situation worse is that we have been unable to follow through with our back-up plans too, as even they’ve been affected by the fires!

While this isn’t the way we were hoping to close out the year, it’s the best way to make sure you all remain safe, given the circumstances!

Don’t worry though, we will definitely be back in 2020! Until then, we hope you all have a fantastic holiday!

We’ll see you all on the other side!

Cheers!

SAU NSW President

I'll be heading to Robertson pie shop.

If you see a short balding old guy smashing pies and cakes into his face say hi.

I'll be in the 86

Legit on the 15th Marky? I might bring the rusty pos along for a squirt to Robbo

That's my plan

Unless the Minister of War and Finances wants to be a fun kill.

If I get a free pass, or if she ends up with the shits because of the direction of the wind, I'll just head down myself.

I have broached the subject and I keep bringing up appleturn overs and chocolate eclairs whenever I can, she seems keen now, later on????? Meh LOL

It seems like everytime me and her go we end up bringing back cakes and pies for all of the outlaws, I do use this as leverage.

Exact timings on arrival are fluid, getting her moving early on a Sunday can be problematic.

I'll post up a pic when I'm there.

    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
