^ cnr Hume Hwy and Camdenvalley Way.
Follow Cumberland Hwy to Hume Hwy (turn right) and snake thru Liverpool till you see the Crossroads Hotel. Large industrial looking complex behind that is the bunnings C/P.

EDIT; Cheers Keith,
FYI 7:30 dinner will mean missing the first movie.

Weather report so far:

Saturday Fine.

City: Min: 15 Max: 23
West: Min: 12 Max: 22

If its anything like today... YAAAHOOO!!!

Now.. I think getting to the cricketers arms at 7 Is a bit late, I was thinking around 5:30-6ish to give us plenty of time to eat and relax a bit.

I'll have to have a better look at the trip plan that keith has made to see if we can squeeze it slightly to get us to the arms a bit earlier!

Thanks for your efforts keith, Your bloods worth bottling champ!

This is going to be a HUMUNGOUS day! I'm putting my road tyres back on for this.. and the car will get a GOOD wash :)

Cheers!

Well, i have some good news have managed to talk my boss into letting me have a half day, well finish at 2pm.

This means I will be able to meet up for the afternoon part of the cruise, the dinner and the drive ins!

I will be bringing out the yellow LH, have had it under covers, and will give everyone a chance to see it and give me some feedback, might even be able to help me decide on which car i keep!

With sun setting about 6pm now i think if we want good shots out front of the pub we need to allow for that too.

THe itinery as i've worked it out:

10:00am Meet at bunnings. Depart 10:30. approx 1 hr cruise to Mt Kiera Lookout

11:30 - Arrive Mt Kiera - Depart approx 12:30 for a 15 minute drive to Cordeaux dam.

12:45 approx - Arrive at Cordeax dam. Lunch there. Depart Cordeax dam at approx 2:00 Pm. - 1 Hour Drive to Nattai Lookout

3:00Pm Arrive at Nattai Lookout stop for 30 Mins rest. Depart 3:30Pm for 1 Hour (Approx) drive to cricketers arms Via warragamba. Depending on time we may have an aditional stop at warragamba area.

5:30Pm Arrive dinner - Dinner and drinks till 7:00 Pm - go to Movies

7:00 - Movies and disperse as required.

Hope this is satisfactory for everyone! I think a 10:30 am start gives most members enough time to get there from everywhere ( especially central cost guys!), and i think we have ample time to make it to everywhere we need to.


Extra info:

CB Radios - if anyone has CB radios, BRING THEM! - i will have a couple of spares to loan out on the day but communication will be essential and fun!

Cruise will be a CRUISE, Speed limits will be adhered to ( mostly :P) it's not a race, but any slow coaches may get left behind!!

Times are approximate but we will try and stick to them as closely as possible so that people can join and depart in "known locations". I'll share my phone number with you guys on the day for those who dont know it already.

Looking forward to this day out guys! Should be a top day!

Weather is still 24 degrees and sunny! YAY!

Cheers

Due to the fact my mate changed the date of his 21st to saturday night, I wont be able to attend all day - at this stage I should be able to cruise until about lunch time before i have to head home BUT it may work out that i cant come at all - so if im not there by 10.30am consider me not coming along.

cheers

Well... The Monaro is sorted, the weather looks UNBELIEVABLE:

Forecast for Saturday
Fine. Mostly sunny. Light to moderate south to southwest winds, fresh at times along the coast.
Precis: Fine. Mostly sunny.

City: Min: 12 Max: 23 Parramatta: Min: 10 Max: 24
Terrey Hills: Min: 10 Max: 22 Penrith: Min: 09 Max: 24
Liverpool: Min: 07 Max: 25 Richmond: Min: 07 Max: 23




I really dont think we could ask for any better driving weather!
Now we just need to add some high octane fumes, and some sexy toranas, and i reckon we're going to have an Excellent day!


Movies showing:
Saturday, 31 March 2007
Field 1)
Mr Bean's Holiday - PG
Norbit - M

Field 2
Ghost Rider - M
Pursuit Of Happyness - M

I think it'll be Field 2 for me, and if it's anything like the last time, I wont make the second film!!

SEE you all at Bunnings CASULA. Off Camden Valley Way Casula.

Cheers!

well im really pissed off. My missus and me are fighting, all she has done is cough and fart for the last few weeks and shes come to climax. I tried playing with all her bits but to no sucess..... yes im talking about my torana.

Short story-
car is running like shit, unable to drive over like 80 kays.

LONG STORY-
ran out of fuel the other week (broken gauge, and my stupidity, ran out as i rolled up to the bowser) and since then has been running funny(over like 1900 revs starts to splutter and backfire) so i have now pulled the carbies apart, cleaned them, installed a fuel filter, and given everything a good clean. My old man and i then has a play and re-tuned the carbies only to find that the main linkage rod on the tripples is contorting (twisting) and the front two carbies are opening only a fraction compared to the other one. so this is messing with the tune and how it is running. Also think it may have a bit of a crook Valve, so another problem, one we need to adress before something goes really wrong. Might give me a chance to paint my bay AGAIN, put some straight cut gears on and maybe a bigger camshaft. :spoton: so tehre may be some good from it, but its a pain in the ass, and i dont have time to do anything with uni and shit at the moment, plus i have two comodores i need to finish fixing and sell. so i have a lot on my plate right now. Also still need to put my UC front brakes on, and finish designing and building my boot install. so yeah not too good!!

Now i was just goin to bring the VR but i have decided that i cant justify spending the money on going in my VR. as much as i would love to come meet you all and have a good perve, i can work tomorrow and make a dollar to put towards fixing the car. (although my old man will probably jump on board as always)

Have a great time guys and gals, and take lots of pictures.

im soo about to cry, i have been looking forward to this for ages, but i suppose it wasnt meant to be. :cry:

Chris
