Port 911 Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 Awesome weekend, great company, Thanks to all that attended, great drives, great cars, thank you to all that had a part in the organizing, and hope we have started something that will live on. The weather gods were very kind to us considering all that was forecast. This is what the PFA is all about.

OZ930 Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 The belt didn't actually break. The dip stick somehow managed to pop out enough for the belt to grab it, which then shredded the outside layer of the belt, which caused the belt to flop around until it came off. The dip stick became knotted in the pieces of the outer layer. The dipstick was untangled, straightened, reinstalled and zip tied in place. the belt was refitted and the car driven sedately to Wauchope, only coming off again once on the way. The boys, having lunch at this time, organised a replacement belt and the rest is as above..You have to admire the comradery and team work that went into making a potentially disappointing day into a success...and the laughs that night were gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 Well i had a fantastic weekend and from the talk over the 3 days this may become a drive we do every year.The Oxley Hwy is one of the must do roads for me and to do it from Bendemeer to Wauchope and back was pretty special, 70kms of twisties and 100kmh speed limit.Bendemeer is a town that has been by-passed when the hwy was upgraded and is a sleepy little place with some interesting characters.The pub accommodation is not flashy but from all reports was very comfortable.Lots of funny stories and i hope everyone chimes in with a couple of pics and a quick rundown of their experience.It was great to meet a few new faces and a few of the guys who joined for some parts of the run were not forum members but were welcomed just the same.I want to echo what Brian said about the comradery and eagerness by everyone to help get Scott back on the road, with Rickie starting the ball rolling by phoning a friend and Peter driving into Port Macquarie, twice, to get the right belt.The attendees from left to right, bear924, OZ930, Uncle, Peter M, Paul, Jason E, TINGY944, Scott 996, Caver, WOKA, Port 911 and Steve.GloucesterCarson's Lookout on Thunderbolt's WayUncle's flame thrower, amazing sound, think old school F1 and you got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 Thanks for a great weekend everyone!Not sure if Brian will speak to me again after I convinced him to take a back road between Tenterfield and Warwick ... at least the dirt sections were smooth and we both managed to dodge Skippy.

Uncle Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 Fantastic weekend blokes. Always great to catch up with you blokes and meet some new guys as well. Lots of laughs and a great drive. So, this weekend next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOKA Posted 6November, 2017 Report Share Posted 6November, 2017 ^ 12 months.? To far away sir. 6 months I reckon.!What a great weekend.. Great people, fantastic cars, perfect weather and brilliant roads. The Oxley is one of Australia's true driving roads. You certainly feel like you've had a work out when you get out of the car. Chasing Uncle's fire breathing Lambo was certainly a highlight, the smell, the noise and the sound - unbelievable. And don't those 944 Turbo's get up and go.! Perfect conditions from dry, to moist, to fog to wet - we had it all..!Jason and I had a great run down through Beaudesert > Woodenbong > Stanthorpe, and an equally entertaining drive back via Armidal > Ebor > Nymboida to Grafton. Plenty of twisties and lots of fun.A few pics in no particular order and bring on Runt Cun 2018.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
