FTO AUSTRALIA

Alrighty all,

Seeing as nothing's happened for a while and most of you couldn't attend the Kiama cruise, how about something a little closer to home?


Date: 25th Of September (a sunday)
Meeting Point: National Museum Carpark
Departure Time: 1130

Route: Starting at the Museum we head off onto the Parkway and along to the Cotter turn off.

Following the Cotter road for a little while we come to a right turn onto Urriara Road and follow that down past the Cotter where we can stop and have a quick break.

We then head out onto the road to Tharwa, which we will pass through and then it's onto Honeysuckle Creek. At the end of this beautiful road is a nice BBQ area where we can eat some food, chill and have a chat.

Then it's back to Canberra!


I'd expect this to take up the majority of your Sunday afternoon.
So come on Canberrans!! Don't chicken out on a damn good set of roads and fun times!

pete, how long (time wise) is it out to the honeysuckle place.

Well if you include the Cotter part of it (about 25-30 minutes) you're looking at about 45-50 minutes....without stops. The Cotter loop is about 80kms, plus 50ish kilometers from Tharwa to Honeysuckle.

A good chunk of the roads are very very windy too, with a few nice straights to open up on.

I might be down for the cruise, you know me these days.
But we might have to get a sponsor to pay for the fuel

hehehe...
Boris will be shifting at 2k revs.

And putting it in neutral when going downhill!!

Guys if you're coming along can I get you to post so in here?

Cheers!

I'm still 50/50
Do you see now how hard it is to organize stuff in Canberra?

Arrrrgggg!!!! Was in until today. I now have a broken engine mount. While I could probably make it to something local (car still drivable), not keen to push the envelope and do a lot of driving outside Canberra.

Ok guys, I've gotta postpone this cruise do to my gearbox misbehaving.

I'll organise an alternative date once I'm back up and running.

cool. good idea.
You should all come down to wakefield on the 3rd to watch some nice street cars race.
