SimonN Posted 4August, 2016 Report Share Posted 4August, 2016 Finally you've bought a 911 that can get wet Thought I would move from 1 hour driving = 10 hours cleaning to 10 hours driving = 1 hour cleaning, because white cars don't show the dirt...

SimonN Posted 7August, 2016 Report Share Posted 7August, 2016 265 kms later and I am now home. there were 53 cars on this little mission, a complex rout, lots of getting lost and somehow, everybody meeting back up at Gosford Bunnings to view the car lot. When we were lost, there was some spirited driving on some fine roads. When we were more in convoy, it was clear that a few were auditioning for "Driving Miss Daisy". Overall, a fun drive.Everything said about the Gosford car lot is true. You cannot get close to the cars and they are parked too close together. I would also love to understand the "logic" behind how the cars were laid out. It looked more like it had been set up by some young parking attendant than by a proper curator. There is a whole section of cars for sale, maybe appropriately in what used to be the gardening section. Almost every single one of those cars had something obviously "wrong", with a lot of very dodgy paint work. We were pretty sure that everything else was for sale, even if it wasn't advertised.A few of us inspected TurboT's hole in the ground and tried to crush his car, followed by a quick lunch and home in time to fall asleep on the sofa in front of the TV. Good day out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsujack Posted 11August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 11August, 2016 A great morning out, big thanks to Autohaus for finding some new roads, and no thanks to most of us for getting lost... A few of Sergio's snaps from the run, more here:http://autohaushamilton.com.au/news/social-drive-northern-loop-drive-7th-august-2016Below: Tom having just been overtaken by our pink lycra friendAnd some royalty at the end of the run in the Gosford Classic Car Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 11August, 2016 Report Share Posted 11August, 2016 It was a good day and tested our navigation skills somewhat after we all got separated by the bikes on the old Pac Hwy, our pink lycra friend above was absolutely going off because we buggered up his downhill run down the Hwy, he was behind me for a fair way and i could hear him swearing and nutting off through my open sunroof, don't worry mate the feeling was mutual.
