chris240 Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Ok fellow Canberra muppets, its been 7.5 years since our last meet & drive.. I think a catch-up & drive is in order..Suggest a saturday late May ?? I went for a drive with the family to Wee Jasper which is around 70klms from Canberra over the long weekend, great drive, nice windey roads, tiny pub & grill.....just a thought. Who's up for it Quote
Spanishroll Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 don't think i'll be on the road by end of may.. aiming end of july at the earliest.. if i could i would maybe next year Quote
sco_aus Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 I doubt I will either, exhaust manifold is off being welded and just discovered i need new braided lines for the rear. I'm in the middle of changing job, so its making things a bit difficult to organize till I get a new roster too. So rather than say I might make it and then not, ill just say no, so maybe later. If it still goes ahead, i'd be happy to hitch a ride with someone for the trip if i'm not working. Quote
DatPilot Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 roah!!! Im in, pending nothing else breaks on the R30... This month alone, 2 leaking injectors, arcing spark leads, leaking auto, flatspotted tyres, rear wheel bearings, rear R180 diff mount, big exhaust leak under the auto (fumes in cabin)... It will nearly be cheaper to buy a whole other car! Good opportunity to re-fit the factory exhaust extraction fan on the manifold... har har Quote
Razz Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Sounds good. Looking ahead at work, i'm probably going to be working 6 days weeks till august!! so if the run is on a sunday, I'll be there Quote
Cdr Zero Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Should be good to go then, it'll make a nice shakedown cruise for Z and it's been a million billion years since we last caught up. Quote
Rhino73z Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Agreed, its been ages since the last blast in the Zed....count me in! Chris's 240 is now purring like a kitten after I helped him with a tune up, so there is no excuses from him. Pick a day and I'll pencil it in. B) Quote
chris240 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 Suggest saturday the 29th May... Razz, Im sure you can wrangle a saturday off !...tell your boss its an RDO, (random datsun off) Quote
Rhino73z Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Cool, I'll pencil in the date. Took the family for a Sunday drive to Crookwell - Goulburn - Canberra. Be a great run in the Zed! It be approx 3 hour run...maybe a little longer depending on the stops. I'll PM the details if want details. Quote
DatPilot Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Sounds good, got it typed into the leave calendar... at home. Good opportunity to test my bilstein suspension! Quote

DatPilot Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Anyone keen to make this a 'Red Shield Day' cruise, with donationsblankets to the Salvos/??/? I have a few contacts and im sure they would be happy...

Rhino73z Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Fairdinkum does Crookwell even have a pub !! For someone who lived at Bungendore, I wouldn't be throwing stones!! Yep, its got a pub! Happy to make a donation to the Red Sheild appeal too! Quote
