  • ok so heres how it rolls from pump #5 at the BP your meeting at...
    firstly a ****load of roadworks that i didnt bother making a note of, 10k stretches, some nightwork only though, anyway northern nsw you will need a kidney belt & some pillows, the surface is nice briefly and pitiful most of the way, ballina bypass is nice though, whats open of it at least - taken long enough!
    from grafton i think? its pretty mint though, mostly new surface, quite nice really so after suffering for a few hours you can relax a little
    now this is allowing a stop at bp outside grafton for a stretch/pee and maccas stretch at coffs but made some notes on the way...
    50ks out -speed cam
    80ks - roadworks
    94ks - speed cam
    114ks - speed cam
    127ks - speed cam
    161ks - speed cam
    220ks - roadworks
    228ks - more roadworks
    284ks - speed cam
    stop at coffs
    318ks - speed cam
    324ks - speed cam
    328ks - speed cam
    342ks - speed cam
    426ks - speed cam NO previous warning
    after coffs i stopped counting roadworks /80k zones etc some went for 10ks a pop, 2k gap then more
    stopped driving about 100ks north of newcastle & the other half took over - dont bother with the bacon & egg burger at mobil servo unless you like retardedly salty food - anyway not much after that except mint roads, dual carriageway & 110k zones - love nsw for the use of 110k! filled the tig at the bp at the start of the F3, 50ks left, steph doesnt like playing the will we make it game like me
    anyway arrived a few hours ago (toukey exit on the f3) problem free except the poor guy who was on the other side of the road in a rather bent truck just north of kew heading north, didnt look nice, stacks of people all over it, must of happened within an hour of me passing, anyway enjoy the drive, take breaks, there seems to be perfectly spaced servo's etc each 200ks from the start point, never noticed before, same with the proximity of cameras to each other, never actually checked distances previously, thats crazy close for 4 cameras!
    - challenge too, avoid maccas, support the local stores when you have breaks, easy to do during the day

                        • point to point shouldnt be a problem guys, ask mr jettas get u laid what i said earlier when u meet at the servo

                          oh, tazz are you the same tazz thats on avd? attached to a penguin?

                          also, dont wash prior to leaving, the protective layer of dirt does wonders, mines got dirt, bug splatter, flying ants etc etc dont bother until your within 50-100ks of the show if your attempting to be clean-ish
