Putty Road cruise??

[Amaru]

Just curious if theres any intention to be a putty road cruise again this year? Came along last year with Aurora and Shell and was awesome (until we hit a wombat and destroyed a brand new HKS FMIC on the way home... )

From memory it was around this time last year it was held.

im keen, except im on the other end.

You could do it twice... or drive down and meet us, and cruise back to lunch, as most people usually go their own way after lunch...

But to answer your question... Yes we are going to be doing it again this year... Date is tentativly set for 17th September. (Saturday)

Where is Putty rd? :whatsthat

[scathing]

Where is Putty rd?

Head to the north western corner of Sydney, and just follow the trail of police pursuit vehicles.

[Majanal]

It is a winding twisting road with and average speed of 90km/h between Windsor and the Hunter Valley region though to answer the question!

[Aurora]

w00t

Despite the bill from last years cruise i'll be coming again

[Shell]

Nik you should bring your car this time...it's more fun being a driver than a passenger!

I intend to, it was broken last year which is why I couldnt bring it. You going to come again Shell? Might try get a few of the other guys up from Canberra too.

I am even thinking an over night option... which you canberrians might be interested in!

[Menthu_Rae]

are Preludes welcome? I'd love to go on this cruise

[Duncan]

yep anyone is welcome

And overnight is a definate goer for those with staying power there are plenty of wineries at the end of the road so you'll be in no state to drive home again that night

[siksII]

i would be very interested, have done this once before, but did not go all the way before turning back, was out from 1am till 8am the next morning, fuelled by a large amounts of krispy kreme donuts

i went down the putty at 4am one day, it was unreal....no farmers or trucks mosying along.... could see the headlights around the corners if someone was coming... and it was very very cold that morning... made for a very spirited and tyre shredding adventure.

d-d... monkeykplunk and i are thinking of doing a putty cruise in august sometime champ.

also anyone that doesnt know about the putty... get the new speed, it has a review in it. it also mentions the cops in singleton, they are shocking.

cheers

Putty road > take this at speed and it will certainly show you the benefits of an IRS, low profile and wide tyres.

Very windy (pronounced wyndy)... it's alot more than just that.

It does have a few nice long straight stretches as well.

Yep, was talking to Ewen (Aurora) about it the other day. I think our plan is head up on the Friday afternoon, stay at Windsor on Friday night (we did that last year), cruise Saturday and stay with you guys up the other end Saturday night, head back home on Sunday

[Shell]

yeah Nik I'll be going again most probably!

definately stay the night before again, I'll have to see about the night after...although it's such a long crap drive home after the cruise...hmm could be a good plan..

should i book you the stinky room again? haha

Excellent... yeah, if im driving ill definately be staying Saturday night, wasnt a big fan of the drive home straight after the cruise.

To be blunt, that room was fu**ed Haha (*stops whinging*) but yeah, staying there again should be sweet, was nice and close to the shops and not too far into the city so im all for it
