Kerry Posted 5May, 2010 Report Share Posted 5May, 2010 Steve and Dave have offered the tour of the Alps we never knew we had! - strangely Mother's Day date didn't prove all that popular! As per originally proposed: "The plan is to run from Mt.Dandenong pub to Neerim via some interesting roads. Photocopies of run will be available from starting point. Will not be issued over Forum site. Suggest a 7:30am start." Takers?

AndyS Posted 5May, 2010 Report Share Posted 5May, 2010 Evening lads, I am a near certain starter. My dad and his trusty Boxter wont be there as the poor fellow will be on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. We will still be Autumn but I think I will be pushing it for a topless drive!!

Niko Posted 6May, 2010 Report Share Posted 6May, 2010 Hi mate, would love to be there in the swiss alps with the roof of the Coxster down. However will be O/S (Hongkonging)with the missus. I think the direct email thing is a great idea being the slack person that I am. Also the new sticker is proudly adorning the windscreen. Good job on those, they look grouse and nicely get the site across! Need to get some more of them out there. (A nice speed yellow one on the Coxster would look even grouser) Regards to all, Niko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INOFXI Posted 6May, 2010 Report Share Posted 6May, 2010 Sounds like a great inaugural for Frosch and I, however I guess it hinges on me sorting out my Hot Start issues. Prior owner swears bad earth on the fuel pump relay, Injectors are not that old, nor is the fuel accumulator.... Or either an Auto Elec or and EFI place.... Not the thread for it but any advice would be great, I think its a common issue with the 3ltr.... But all going well I meet you on the 30th.

Kerry Posted 18May, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 18May, 2010 ??? Hey Niko! You're either suggesting you're in for the Swiss Alps, or you're posting a pic of the decal on your car........ but which?! Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrest Posted 19May, 2010 Report Share Posted 19May, 2010 Hi all, I have just got back in from a buzz around the planned route for the 30th. All seems well, no road works etc. The exact distance is 102 kms with a travelling time of 1hr:42mins from Mt Dandy pub and that was just tootaling along in my road car taking in the sights plus stopping for a piddle. Should be grabbing something to eat by 9am with a bit of luck. Will be a pleasant little early morning jaunt for those that are intending in coming along. r.

Kerry Posted 19May, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 19May, 2010 Good stuff Dave. There are a couple of "possibles" that haven't committed yet, however Doug, Chris and I (who had a PFA meeting last night) are all definitely looking forward to it! Lets hope for some dry-ish weather... Cheers, Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 19May, 2010 Report Share Posted 19May, 2010 Sounds great Dave, I am a starter, so looking forward to meeting you all as well as the drive! I am with Kerry on the dry weather. My car normally only gets wet when I wash it!! Cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 19May, 2010 Report Share Posted 19May, 2010 plus stopping for a piddle. Too much information Dave Should be grabbing something to eat by 9am with a bit of luck ...but the early return will save me some brownie points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INOFXI Posted 24May, 2010 Report Share Posted 24May, 2010 Issue now sorted, been good for a week, so I think it's safe to say I'm going to make it. BOM suggests sunny weather Sunday so it should be a nice run. Showers on Saturday so depending on how heavy the rain is, and the route we are taking, debris could be an issue. Granted not such an issue in the car, I just always noted these things when I'd take the bike out. See you all at 7:30am. Trav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 25May, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 25May, 2010 Just so we all start on the same page.... Mt Dandenong Hotel 1451 Mt Dandenong Tourist Rd Olinda VIC 3788 (03) 9751 1202 Doug and Chris and I are going to be starting at North Rd and Nepean Hwy at around 6.15am (?) if anyone wants to start the convoy early. Cheers, Kerry Chris and Doug, what do we think of this route? GoogleMaps says 1.25mins, I'm allowing a leisurely Sinday morning drive of 1.15mins... thoughts?

Chris-p Posted 25May, 2010 Report Share Posted 25May, 2010 Hi Kerry, yep thats exactly the way I would have chosen to go! Shall we meet at the Panasales carpark entrance on North road just back from the corner of Nepean Hwy and North Rd? Cheers C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 25May, 2010 Report Share Posted 25May, 2010 Yep, 6:15am in Panasales car park (cnr Nepean Hwy & North Rd) sounds like a good plan to me. I should get used to google maps, currently I am still a traditional Melways man. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
