Always keen, with the warmer weather coming Unley is getting like Blackwood c&c, fills up early. I got there yesterday at 6.45 and it was 3/4 full already.

sjm Posted 20September, 2021 Report Share Posted 20September, 2021 Had a not so pleasant surprise today. Seems the Montacute special stage across the Adelaide hills I took, on the way home from Unley c&c, had an unwelcome pot hole or rock. Left front hit whatever it was and this is the result. Drove home none the wiser and parked up. One new Pilot Sport 4S coming up☹️ Only put a new set on in January. Oh well shit happens when cars get driven Shedpest, Rick V, Yeatesy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking Adelaide morning & huge turnout. Good range of stuff, but big numbers of nismo boys. Good to see a few flying the Porka flag…. quick squirt through Adelaide Hills & home. Am I right in understanding this is the 3rd Sunday of each month? We're just planning a Tassie escape via direct flight to ADL next month for a few days, looks like this could coincide. Would be good to catch up with you guys 🙂 3legs, LeeM and spiller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 21September, 2021 Report Share Posted 21September, 2021 Yes, 3rd Sunday is correct. Blackwood c&c, 1st Sunday of the month is also v popular but even more important to arrive early as it's a smaller venue. Choose which one suits. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjm Posted 26September, 2021 Report Share Posted 26September, 2021 A nice spirited early morning drive from Adgate in the Adelaide hills through Meadows to Strathalbyn and back to Crafers pub for brekky. There was an Alfa 4C in the group too. Those things are flat handling weapons. And no the Amorok didn’t tag along. LeeM and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 26September, 2021 Report Share Posted 26September, 2021 Nice one @sjm Those Alfa's are great cars. I tried staying with one of them and a Lotus Evora in mine from Macclesfield to Strath. I gave up 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3legs Posted 26September, 2021 Report Share Posted 26September, 2021 I didn't realise the Unley C&C was back on. Thought it was canned for good. Will have to try to get to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am told privately by one of the organisers friends they're looking at not allowing 'standard' cars in the carpark, or at the very least encouraging people that are not driving something interesting (a.k.a Kia SUV or Camry etc) to park across the side road in the undercover park. I've put my two cents in ages ago with asking to have an extra coffee van or two there (the previous organisers made a deal with their mates who run the coffee shop and banned coffee vans in the carpark. Elitist wankers 🙄). The consensus among a lot of people is that most are fed up with having to buy from that shop and wait 14 hours for a coffee. Then you have Blackwood! I was told by a client who lives across the road that I worked at recently, that theres a few residents have complained to the council about it, as they can't park anywhere to buy there morning papers etc, plus the dickheads doing skids up and down the side street and general noise that's waking up their budgies and cats. It's always been too small of a venue, and a lot just don't go there anymore. I haven't been to either venues for months 3legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been there in the past and it looks like a Toyota 86 show n shine. I hear what you're saying about Blackwood. It's pretty tight and need to get there at least 1/2 hour before start time to get a park. Would be good to catch up again as a few here are keen in the future.

Troubleshooter Posted 3October, 2021 Report Share Posted 3October, 2021 Spurted the Hotster around the hills for 3 or 4 hours with of course the obligatory coffee break, long overdue! Had a great run, fuch all traffic and back n forth made the most of my full quota of twisties in a 15k radius... it's 15ks as the crow flies huh sjm, Stepo, tomo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joz Posted 3October, 2021 Report Share Posted 3October, 2021 Dam forgot the pics, but it did happen. Took the 996tt tip for an outing if you could call it that. From Elwood to Mordialloc and back, just outside our 15ks. Seems everyone else had the same idea. Drove so much of the beach road on the brakes .😢 Oh well next time, though we did stop at the Parkdale beach cafe and enjoyed a takeaway Aperol Spritza and sausage roll😊 tomo and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nu2Pcars Posted 4October, 2021 Report Share Posted 4October, 2021 Took the 997TT to Mount Mee, QLD. Lunch break at Dayboro, stop at the viewing point on Mt Mee. Nice set of twisty roads with a few strights to open up the turbos going towards Caboolture. Back home via the M1. Great 100 km or so. 😎 flamingporsche and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donR Posted 18October, 2021 Report Share Posted 18October, 2021 Managed to finally get out for a post-lockdown drive here in Sydney after over 3 months parked in the garage. Was great weather for it. I would have contacted a few of you but if anyone else is interested in 0600 drives let me know. Yes it was an early start and surprising amount of traffic around but we still had a good run through most of the sections including Mac Pass. Funny enough caught up with a highway patrol car at the top of Mac Pass (I'm sure he was giving it a bit too!). He pulled over then followed us to Robertson Pie Shop. Said we had just crossed the regional boundary. Was very nice about it and told us to head back the way we came down Mac Pass which was also a good run! Turns out the boundary is just up the top of the pass for anyone that is heading that way. Ian718, P-Kay, JWM and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 19October, 2021 Report Share Posted 19October, 2021 Out and about in our rental car on the Fleurieu Peninsula SA yesterday passed a heap of sports cars of various breeds out and about. Especially saw a white flat nose cab which looked like it had speedster humps (964?) closely followed by a metallic green(?) SC or 930. Looked like they were enjoying themselves....

donR Posted 22October, 2021 Report Share Posted 22October, 2021 Made it out to the local Porsche Supersprint the other night at SMSP South circuit. Frantic little circuit with lots of twists and turns! Not sure if anyone has done it but really difficult to master. I'd say trickier than the GP circuit and virtually zero opportunity to practice on it seems. Lots of fun though.

LeeM Posted 23October, 2021 Report Share Posted 23October, 2021 Well not mine, but yesterday I test drove a '98 996 tip for a PFA member. Man they're a lot of fun in the twisties! Just point and shoot, even though the toggle buttons still suck, yet what a great car that was to drive. (And before anyone asks. NO I'm not thinking about a 996 again) tomo, Troubleshooter, Yeatesy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
