GUT Posted 4August, 2016 Report Share Posted 4August, 2016 I'll be heading out for a drive on Saturday morning.I'm thinking out east - likely Reefton Spur. I'm open to suggestion on the route.I want to get going early - 7am start at the latest.If anyone's keen - let's say Tecoma McDonalds 6:45 for 7am start.If anyone else has a different suggestion on route, I'm all ears and can meet anywhere.

Pauly Posted 4August, 2016 Report Share Posted 4August, 2016 If it was Sunday, i would have tried to book a tyre change in tomorrow. I don't think there's enough life left in them for one last run. I would have been down for DakDak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this is the final destination, what is the usual arrival time to the Spur?Just trying to work out logistics of being back by 10:30am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 5August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5August, 2016 Assuming this is the final destination, what is the usual arrival time to the Spur?Just trying to work out logistics of being back by 10:30am Leaving at 7 we'd be in Marysville comfortably by 9 I'd say. Then it depends where home is.Happy to modify the route or head off a bit earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been down for DakDak. I'm going to DakDak about 9:30 (sorry to hijack)Have to drop daughter off to gymnastics at 9:30 in Highett then heading straight there to meet a mate (Mustang - not Porsche).

Mike737 Posted 6August, 2016 Report Share Posted 6August, 2016 You take great pics @Mike73 and thank you kindly @Harvs11 for checking the tension on my wheel nuts!Thanks P-Kay. Don't think my photos this time round were that great. I blame it on the lens I was using this time and not being used to taking lower light shots. I had to get a pic of Harvs in action, otherwise it never would have happened right?Thanks for the photos @Mike737. If it were just my photos you'd never know you were there. I was trying to upset the air cooled elitist groups by hiding behind you guys Now we know where to call for a tow, not that we'd ever need it. It's actually a family friends place. One of the reasons why I parked in front of the depot owner's sign. You took some really nice pics there yourself @GUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
