Time for a REAL drive

[Greg Roles]

I'm in. I turn 40 on the wednesday before this, so it can be a "now I'm officially on old fart" drive for me. Need some hats for my parcel shelf, a sun visor and towing mirrors.

I'm happy to do it any weekend from the 20/6, it's far from set in concrete so if others are cool with the first weekend in July, so will I. We can use this thread as an expression of interest and perhaps start another once us early adopters can agree on a date

As per already discussed on the previous page, it's a bit rough depending on speed and suspension - but not the goat track it once was. If you're not running coilovers, you'll find it to be fine. It's not a race so drive at the speed you are comfortable and you'll get through unscarred and unjolted.

I bet you I can prove you wrong on that.
Suffice to say I'll most likely be taking it pretty carefully.
Cheers,
Trent

Sounds good Sean, If we could do it first week of july that would be fantastic, I have slowly been dying here without my car, I Drove it twice then lost my license , so apart from the drive that my dad gives it once a month, its just been sitting there. Funny thing about it, is that he thought it was a slow old vw when he first got into it, he now has a differnet opinion about it

I Have coilovers in my dub too, so hopefully if i follow your lead trent, i should be right haha.

But if we are on for that weekend, im def's in, i get my license back on the 29th of june, so yeah.

Cheers Guys/

[Coxy09]

So do we have a date locked in for this drive?? Any idea's? First week of july, hows that sound for everyone? Im going to take the week from the 29th (Monday) off so i can drive everywhere

ok. 1'st weekend of July, I have a wedding on one of the days, so will propose the other.. NFI which day it's planned for, can't remember. Once I remember which day I'm free I'll update the first post.

PS Coxy. don't lose ya license in that week I like the country roads as there is minimal traffic, plus these roads have quite silly high speed limits (like 80 and 100km/h) on them which you don't need to do to enjoy yourself and be safe.

I'd assume this road has been affected by the current floods / weather?? Landslides / extra potholes??

I was keen to go for a scout this weekend, but if it's going to be flooded / hammered.....

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
With my ride height I was hoping to check it out at a most likely much slower pace so I can be sure that I will do minimal damage. But yeah for at least part of the road will have taken a beating.

Hahaha... I love tradies paying out on the apprentices. Always good for a laugh. I imagine nothing's gotta be more embarrassing then catching public transport in high vis. Actually I always have a good laugh when I see someone in them riding a bike at 5am in the morning on a main road with their little esky. That's gotta be more embarrassing.
