Adelaide: Monthly Coffee and Drive Meet - Discussion Thread

[JordanS]

Pfft, usually looking at my second cuppa of the day by then.

(waits for sad excuses why it's too early)

Won't get no sad excuse from me...7 am out there would be like any other day for me! I'm all for meeting at maccas at 7 am.

Sounds like a perfect time to me, and a nice drive along snake gully rd before I get there

Taylor Blend only opens at 8am so would mean earliest departure around 8:30. I was thinking along the lines of Maccas at Tea Tree Plaza at 7am.... if anyone else is game.

Normally can't resist a Maccas (prefer Hungry Jacks) breakfast and a drive but 28ks/50mins. from my place for 7.00am? Maybe.

Hey it's early and there's no traffic on the roads. Other option is if there's a 24 hour servo that serves OK coffee... On the Run or such. I'm no coffee officianado so I'll leave it to those that know.

Ideally looking for a meet point close(ish) to the hills.

Given the weather this weekend I've even made the sneaky suggestion of bringing the cruise forward to this Sunday as the forecast looks pretty good.

Thoughts???

Holy balls. That means leaving home at 6. That's not happening on a Sunday. Might have to catch up.

Well opinions seem to be a bit divided on this one - thanks everyone for your feedback.

We'll leave the time and date of the "official" VWW cruise as 9:30am meet for 10am departure next Sunday 3 August. I think Taylor Blende is probably an ideal start point as it's central to most people, close to the hills and makes a decent coffee.

Here's a suggested route to kick things off: Taylor Blende Café to Mt Lofty via Lobethal, Nairn and Macclesfield



p.s. I'm still keen for an early morning "cool air" drive and this Sunday is looking good, so if you're up for an "unofficial" cruise a week early to test drive some possible future routes (someone's gotta do it!!) send me a pm... come to think of it Ozrodent don't worry about the pm I'll just include you on the list

I should be up for this Damien as long as it's not toooo early; don't have any plans Saturday night at this stage. Although I don't want to start the morning with a Maccas coffee, so might just have to do coffee at home first.

Geez, we've got a real emphasis on the coffee part of this thread lately.

(then again guilty as charged, I like a good cup too)

[tigger73]

Nice morning for a drive - 3 braved the 7am start... nice to see a new face too





Also caught up with the Hot Hatch boys on Gorge Rd doing a photo shoot.

Some good roads too - we'll have to include parts (or all) of the route in a future "northern" cruise.

[JordanS]

Was good to meet you both can't wait till next weekend, was a good drive that's for sure

[AdamD]

Nicely done guys; sorry I couldn't make it!

Ah well.... there's always next time

I reckon there will be a line-up at the next cruise to sit behind your car and listen to the sound-track.

Hahaha I'll be happy to oblige, they can listen if they can keep up

Certainly can't wait till next weekend, will be good to have more out, hopefully is good weather like this morning.

Maccas at Tea Tree Plaza at 7am.... if anyone else is game.

Damn, I shoulda checked this thread earlier. I live 5 minutes from there. And with a 6yo and a 6mo that time is a sleep in.
