Sounds good to me. I get paid on the 15th so I'll be able to make it.

With any luck, I'll find time to squeese in a Service and brake pad change after getting paid, and before heading up State Highway 16.

Looking forward to it.

It will be day time. Want to easily be able to see who is who. (and who is blue, yellow and white :P)

Though to be honest, most of the way will be at a reasonable speed, fast but not balls to the wall.

Think of it as driving practice... :)

sounds good, is there any chance that if my car isn't ready we can postpone it until the 23rd?

Drove up there this new years, with my mates mazda familia (aka the crapmobile), - we got their 25 minutes before him... ;)

Mind you most of the time you get stuck behind a boat or someone, and its a pain road to pass on..

yeah i've done SH16 a few times now as Jude's parents live up north - it's a fantastic road if you've got a good run at it, but it sucks if you get stuck behind someone, cause there's sod-all safe places to pass on it.

And I'm keen, but the 16th is smack in the middle of the long easter weekend and I'm probably going to be away then /pan (so I vote for a different weekend /yes)

Well, it looks like the 16th is most popular at this point in time... but if 23rd becomes more popular then that'll be it.

I have never had a bad run up there... but on a public holiday... never know.

True, I hadn't even thought of Easter!

Maybe the weekend after will be better. Doesn't really make too much difference to me at the moment. My Missus is away for a month. I would perfer the 16th, but can be flexible.

You might be right about the easter weekend, there might be a lot of cops about and a lot of traffic, maybe the 23rd is a better option

You See

Well, the 16th still has the most votes :P

But can put it down for the 23rd. Sorry Jonno, but easter weekend is going to be a bastard with traffic :(

I'll start a new thread sometime this week.

Can't make the 23rd I'm afraid guys (in York St recording our EP!! :2thumbsup)... but we'll see which date is decided.
Better make sure someone's got a GOOD radar detector... public holidays are the best time to get caught - and the road from Wellsford is one of the only 2 places I ever HAVE been caught /Grrr

Bring on a track day I say..! Then we'll sort the men from the... not-men... :evilgrin:

Yeah, I agree... But Track days are hard on the brakes, which need replacing in my car :P lol

You can give your brakes the send off they really deserve! As long as they don't send YOU off :inquisiti

Talking of tracks, my company's involved in the assessment of the new race track proposed for Hampton Downs - I've seen the circuit, and it looks like a monster!!
Can't say any more at this point (confidential), so don't ask... just dream!

...a picture says a thousand words....:afro::thinking:

But yeah id be keen for a track day at some point, iv never done one. Those iv talked to say theyre great fun. Even tho my dad put his Legacy GTB into the gravel at 150. /pan. (He blamed the brakes as well...:pimp2: )

Maybe for sometime towards the end of the year?

So have we decided on a date yet?

Easter weekend is out for me (even though I voted a yes on it)
I'm now going to go for a drive up to the Bay of Islands :D should be an equally fun drive
