Pics: Sydney cruise (& wrap up?)

Setanta · #1 07-02-2002, 10:56 AM

Ok - not going to post much as I'm pretty damn tired, but it was a good run and a fun evening (other than have some dickhead try to run me off the road with his subaru 3 minutes after I left home

).

Good to catch up with a few new faces, Oz and Slave and to play on the road with Nut-12A and Q-baby again.

Will fill in the details later - anyone else feel free to jump in with them.

Pics at the servo below:

Gotta do a daytime run - night shots and a cheapie camera = bad

Nice to see the pics up here. Im not going to give much of a wrap up, being kinda lost in terms of the exact locations etc. So I'll say it was fast I was well fed (thanks) and had an awesome time.

Those pics look pretty decent Pete... the pics from the Nikon are a bit dark, and quite a bit of reflection of the number plates, and reflection off lights.

wrap up....

well ....

we met at lansvale mobil servo, headed down the hume and turned left at the "harbour bridge" aka... Peter Warren dealership into Governor Macquarie Drive...

dodged the pot holes along there, and turned right onto newbridge rd, before turning left at Moorebank, to head down to heathcote rd.

Headed down heathcote rd, and turned back onto the hwy.

we then headed through the helensburgh exit off the highway, through the bends back to stanwell.....

hehehe....I wonder who hit the dirt

and some nice sideways movement from the civics there

stopped at stanwell tops, and all the stars were out...very nice...and then headed down the coastal rd, towards the gong....

Hmmm...bugger we got caught behind that tarago... at the best bends on that road....

slave had to shut his sunroof...incase of falling rocks

stopped at a cafe in the gong for dinner.... and then headed down to kiama - the blow hole...pretty windy...we stayed there for a bit, before heading back along the hwy, then picton rd back to sydney.

hehehe...oh, and you mentioned something about Oz almost crapping himself

at a certain speed limit???

I did sort of lose you guys going up Mt Ousley, and also through the first bend on picton rd

Great drive and nice to meet you Oz and Slave.

P.S Pete...

message from Lang...she's not a NUT 12A - she's a 12B

although she wishes she had a rotor in it :silly2:

What speed limit? hehe. No seriously. Here were the contributing factors to the grim death stare on my face at the time - Pete changing lanes with one hand, Pete talking to you and laughing, Pete's laughter almost turning into a sneeze and THEN looking at the speedo and seeing 175. Then it was time for the darkies...

No, seriously, it was a fantastic night. Great to meet those I have talked to for so long and thanks to all those involved!

I had to manually bump the gamma/brightness settings in photoshop - the originals are quite dark

Potholes? There were potholes? Anyone else see potholes?

I didn't hit the dirt... the armco maybe, not the dirt

That'll teach me to fiddle with the climate controls

I think the SiR spent it's previous life as a drift car in gran turismo - I'm still trying to remove the dents on the panic handle on the passenger's side. Thing is, I don't really notice it - it's a way of life at the moment - Oz might disagree

Not to mention grinning like a maniac as the tacho needle hit 8200

I'd backed off as I didn't know if cops were around - that and a whole ton of paper and stuff came fling from under your car - I think someone had tossed maccas rubbish on the road and you ran it down. That or it was your muffler puking from seasickness

But yeah - you certainly pulled away hard.

Setanta · #11 07-03-2002, 09:39 AM

Anyway, a really fun time - good company and a nice run. I've decided to try and sort the Spoon strut brace by saturday (once I find out how to move the aircon piping that is in the way of the passenger mounting point) and then do the Katoomba run with the Fast Fours forums. If it's a good run (which it looks to be on paper then maybe we can do it sometime).

Spunkymonkey · #12 07-03-2002, 04:27 PM

Lang says I left the polarizer on the camera, thats why the photos didn't turn out properly....

how am I supposed to know...its her camera...I just shoot and click

Paper???? what paper???

was a bit pissy yesterday, as this idiot threw a coke bottle across the road, when I was in livo, and it hit the rim of a 4wd, rebounded into my front spoiler

slave · #13 07-03-2002, 06:53 PM

Yeah it was a great night, and following the S"isometimesgoeverywhere"R was quite funny, time for a new mobile car kit me thinks? lol, but it was great, mind you I fell asleep at home, and was kinda messy the next morning. Oh and thanks a lot now I want a turbo! Dammit...

REALLY

my cousins reckon the car is missing the thermostat...thats why the constant cold temperature...which is also effecting the vtec cutting in sometimes.

hmmm....getting it looked at in a couple weekends time...when I have spare time.
