I'm a spare of the moment kinda guy and not really plan anything till the last minute sooooo, whatever the date is Ill make sure it's free.

For me, generally speaking weekends is this only time, preferably Saturday, Sundays are for growing mushrooms at home. Don't think I'm going for any get aways til the end of the year

I don't have anything major planned until mid Jan so anytime before or after.

Any idea on which month we are looking at Stephen ?

Depends on when people are free. Aim to make it early Dec.

Let me see the options and I'll take it from there, i'll make myself free for this....

Anyone know of any Dyno days coming up?

That could be nice
Exams finish in late November =]

Last weekend of Nov is the only one i am busy so far :)

so early Dec would be good, defiantly keen for a meet up!

Ok NOV 28th is out for me

For sure Stephen I'm in, Sundays are better for me, also less traffic generally :)

Anyone else?

Yeah count me in . Need to go for a drive. Just promise me we see some open road.

Seems like early Dec suits most ppl.
North or South run this time - Is Wollongong a good drive and not too far ???

So long as we go through the nasho.

the gong is good for me. closer to home :)

Early Dec sounds good, and yes. please no traffic, the worst is trying to have a cruise with some idjut in a charade and 4wd driving 20 under the speed limit.

Saturdays are the best for me as i work on sundays..sorry

I wouldn't mind finally meeting some of you guy's and taking the Tez for a good run. I work 4 on and 4 off so it depends on what date everyone else decides on.
Living in Cronulla I would prefer a drive to the Gong.

Lets keep this thread 'Alive' ppl otherwise like all other meet ideas this might fall through as well <_< .

Lets lock in a day and a place? 5th or 6th Dec ?

Just out of curiosity, since I have never been to a meet before.

This is a one day thing?
And where are we going this time?
Weekend should be cool

Ok, I have been through the responses and most are ok with a Sunday. Let's set it for 6th December 2009.

Now, who is good with locations and routes? Suggestions are welcome...keep in mind we have members up North and down South.

The Putty Rd up North was good a few weeks back.

That was a Sunday and there was very little traffic.

We could come down, run up there and overnight in the Hunter Valley before coming back inland.

Hmm... 230Km to Singleton, then lunch and back to Sydney down the coast. Full day! Maybe part way and back.

This is 220Km out & back- anyone know if the road is tar all the way??

I tried to organised this cruise a little while ago. No takers. I'll be up for it though, it's a great drive.

I recall trying to organise a putty rd run but apparently its plagued with cops and you nominated wisemans ferry, then Nick stated most cars will scrape on the ferry itself and the cruise concept died?

Looks good to me Keith! (Although I probably wouldn't head back to Sydney with the rest of the pack but head back up north)

I'm hoping for a good turn out so we need a route which will be suitable for all. Can the above route be done or changed without the ferry crossing?

The ferry crossing will not affect anyone with even a remotely legal ride height.

Supra forums have just returned from a Wisemans cruise, no mention of problems with the ferry. Toymods also did one earlier in the year, no problems.

The ferry drivers are very patient with low cars and will help if there is a problem, I was concerned the first time but i didnt even go close to hitting, my intercooler is pretty low too, much lower than the front bar.
The road on the north side is worth the hassle ( if there is one - not usually any).

As for the last cruise I was ready to go right up to the night before, as usual lots of noisey critics found excuses not to go and pulled out, influencing the maybe's to become no shows.

Call me when you get 3 confirmed at the meeting point, I'll catch up.

Couldn't make it on last time I went, it depends on the ferry driver if he/she is bothered to push the boat up against the dock wall or not, if they stay a meter+ back no1 with a low car can get on as the ramp is nasty steep.

Quoted for truth.

im legal according to the Rta... don't be fooled by my signature pic, I dont run that height anymore... ;)

I'm chalked in for the 6th Dec!

And Matt I didn't flake out last time!

being from Newy, i could always depend on you to want to go for a drive!

im a maybe depends on weather or not i have the car back and weather you guys go north or south.

Route still not confirmed yet. How about a Wollongong via Sea Cliff Bridge route?

I'm just adding in options for consideration :)

Is this that, grand pacific drive route?? I'm down with that! I've always wanted to go

Yes, it is. Can also stop at Stanwell Tops for a break.

Oh Shit !! That's looks awesome Stephen - I'm down for that :).

Both 5th & 6th suit me at this stage.

yeh i went on that wisemans cruise and the ferry was so easy i got on easily ive got about 80 or 90mm of clearance and if u angle it theres plenty of room. I might be keen on a cruise if you'd allow a supra :P

Sure, no problem.

A road that looks that awesome s in Australia???? no way...
