George Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 It's obvious there was a lot of pent up need, nay desperation, to get out and ogle at Z's for a few hours on a Sunday morning. Why not do this every other month? In the interest of fairness and to keep things fresh we can alternate between a south and a north destination. We have beautiful stretches of road at either end in the RNP and Old Pac. The dates and destinations would be: 7 September (Spring) West 7 December (Summer) South 1 March (Autumn) North 7 June (Winter) West Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 24, 2014 Administrators Posted March 24, 2014 Hey George, Sounds like a fantastic idea to me, I agree regular meetings would be great. Quote
Cozza Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Good job George. all sounds good to me, I should be right for the April one. Mick Quote
chris240 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 How about we also try to arrange a meet 1/2 way between Sydney and Canberra at some point the next few months.. Maybe Moss Vale ?....or god forbid, Maccas at Marulan Thoughts .... Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 24, 2014 Administrators Posted March 24, 2014 I am up for that, a canberra / sydney Z-car meet would be good. Quote
acf321 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I'm up for wherever! I had heard you were like that Mike, this comment clearly proves it. Whatever blows your hair back I suppose! Quote
NEW240 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Not quite north, but June the 8th is the FOSC event at SMP (eastern creek) where we will be having the next " Z Regularity Challenge". Last time there were 16 zeds strutting their stuff, may be worth dropping past for a look. Vince. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted March 24, 2014 Moderators Posted March 24, 2014 Sounds like a great idea, maybe we could also look at a western run out along the Bells Line of Rd. Quote
aussie240z Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Sounds like a great idea as well as the Canberra mid way meet. Quote
sydney mike Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I had heard you were like that Mike, this comment clearly proves it. Whatever blows your hair back I suppose! Lol cheers Adam, careful, this is a family forum! Should be whatever grows my hair back. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted March 25, 2014 Moderators Posted March 25, 2014 Should be whatever grows my hair back. If you work that out let me know Quote
George Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 How about we also try to arrange a meet 1/2 way between Sydney and Canberra at some point the next few months.. Maybe Moss Vale ?....or god forbid, Maccas at Marulan Thoughts .... Sounds like a great idea, maybe we could also look at a western run out along the Bells Line of Rd. Great idea guys. Variety is the spice of life. I have updated the first post with the following suggestions. August 10 - West - Bells Line of Road (full day) October 12 - Canberra/Sydney Meet (full day) December 14 - South - RNP > Macquarie Pass > Kangaroo Valley > Berry (full day) Not quite north, but June the 8th is the FOSC event at SMP (eastern creek) where we will be having the next " Z Regularity Challenge". Last time there were 16 zeds strutting their stuff, may be worth dropping past for a look. Vince. Thanks Vince. I changed the date to June 15 to avoid a conflict for those that might want to do both.

Moderators PB260Z Posted March 26, 2014 Moderators Posted March 26, 2014 Awesome, Better make sure I get my hands on a decent car for these dates , especially the August run. Worst case maybe take the bike Quote
NEW240 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Chris. We will be at Wakefield 5th/6th April for the FOSC W/end. At this stage I think there about 8 or 9 zeds competing in both SC and Regularity. Not sure about the 6hr at the moment. Cheers Vince. Quote
andyk_79 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 This place could be a good meet up option for the sydney/caberra event. 150 ks from both. Gotta be better than Marulan maccas anyway......... http://www.bundanoonhotel.com.au Quote
George Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Why not do this every other month? The dates and destinations would be: April 13 - South through Royal National Park (half day) June 15 - North through Old Pacific Highway (bumped to 3rd Sunday to avoid event clash) (half day) August 10 - West - Bells Line of Road (full day) October 12 - Canberra/Sydney Meet (full day) Based on feedback it sounds like every second month might be too frequent to get decent numbers to each event. Instead, how about we bring in each season with a Sunday morning meet? First Sunday of each season: 7 September (Spring) 7 December (Summer) 1 March (Autumn) 7 June (Winter) etc Quote
andyk_79 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm in - might mean my car will be drivable by the next one !! Maybe if anyone is keen to go for a casual drive at any other time and would like moral support they can post what they're thinking of doing in a separate thread ? Quote
andyk_79 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Dumb question - this means the August Bells Line of Road trip is off ? Quote
George Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Dumb question - this means the August Bells Line of Road trip is off ? Andy, whether it's in Aug or Sep unfortunately I won't be able to attend (I'm out of the country) but I'm happy to post up details or for someone else to take over for the West run. What do you think of this route? https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/-33.68591,150.92032/-33.75866,150.68394/@-33.6343393,150.3131631,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m26!4m25!1m21!3m4!1m2!1d150.77617!2d-33.51298!3s0x6b0d64c7deb49775:0x13017d67e67382c0!3m4!1m2!1d150.688347!2d-33.536287!3s0x6b0d7c3b39b11bc3:0x13017d67e5b4be60!3m4!1m2!1d150.673745!2d-33.548316!3s0x6b0d7e7fec950899:0x13017d67e56c5b60!3m4!1m2!1d150.26283!2d-33.554955!3s0x6b12747effbadbaf:0x130609b474a98d10!4e1!1m1!4e1!3e0?hl=en Quote
sydney mike Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Postponement suits me-remember the clutch issues I had during the Old Pac run? It looks like it's the rear main seal leaking causing the clutch to bind . So my Zeds off the road for a little bit. Not sure rebuild or LS1. Quote
George Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Pommy Mike is visiting again next April so Peter will be hosting another Cars & Coffee on Sunday 12 April in leafy Sylvania. Much like this one: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,14071.0.html A bit too early for all the details but they will be posted up closer to the date. I don't want to put pressure on the guy but he has kind-of promised to have his GTO build done by then. Not sure rebuild or LS1. Quote
chris240 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 fellas is October 12th still a Go-er for a midway meet Sydney-Canberra ? Quote
George Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 I'd love to see that go ahead but someone would have to organise it as I'm away until the end of the month. I'd be happy to do it when I return but for the 7 December (Summer) date. Quote
