Shoulda come anyway... SM showed up about 1/2 an hour late as it was. Lucky we were procrastinating and hadn't left yet.

Good run though. Thanks for organising it Jimi, and thanks to Bigdog for guiding us through what I'll assume were more interesting bits than what Jimi was originally planning.

That rainforest section would be sweet if you knew the road well.

I was gonna wash the car, but I'm too knackered. 330km+ of driving plus waking up at ridiculous oclock has made my age show :P
Perhaps it's time for ye olde afternoon nap...

I'll take the blame for the one, I thought I had gotten us lost in the middle of nowhere, turns out I didn't..
(I know its amazing a women who can read a map :P)

Thanks heaps for organising jimi..!!!
Breaky was great :D and the drive was well worth the early start.

Thanks everyone who came! The turn up was huge! Especially for such an early start!

Thanks especially to BigDog for showing us the backroads up the the mountains! I never even knew Old Bathurst Road existed! :mrgreen:

At least you don't need to waste money on the dyno to figure out it's going to make 2hp atw.

Meanwhile, what's with no number plate chop on the last pic? :P
I'm not fussed if it is or isn't. Just pointing out that the rest are but the last one isn't.

Umm yeah :shock: Where did he end up though? He was with us at the front of the Bells Line run back home but vanished sometime around Bilpin. Didn't see him in the second group either when you guys drove past us at Richmond Maccas (didn't want a coffee with us, huh? :P).

Well the drive out from Berowra Waters to Penrith was also very nice..
Though would have been disappointing if you guys had left.

probably the hardest part of the whole cruise was probably finding Hungry Jacks (since the lights were off), isn't it, rotary & gobsmax? :P :lol:
