Posted over on the PFA , assumed you guys like to drive as much as they do...
Fascinated by the extent of time talking about a drive of more than 12 km's to the fave coffee stop ... I had a small brain reptilian moment and rather drive to work, took a hard right in the sporto one recent morning and did a favourite drive - 'loaded dog', Nerriga Rd to Nowra. Had a great day, lunch with a mate Bill ( drives a real nice copper C3), 'discovered' some cool old race cars, a fiat 124 cc hidden in a shed since late 1976 and didn't hit any roos, or fines. Though the run home made me realise it's time to do the 'Hodges headlight' relay upgrade and get some decent lighting. For the sporto this'll also entail a drill and an array of bonnet mounted super oscars
For those who have not travelled through here and driven the road, it's a must.
So here's your chance.
Proposing a run from the 'loaded dog' Tarago to the coast via Nerriga Rd. Final destination time dependent and currently open, though could be Tathra and a possible meet 'n' greet, with the great Reg Percy. And the Tathra pub just got a new owner so the food got better and the music line up is making a return to its 80-90's heyday..
For those with less time, turn around at any point. If there is a day 2 depending on where you're driving to Brown Mtn-Cobargo-Cooma and home is a great drive. An alternate is a same day return leg to the 'loaded dog', it's quite the pub and there is accommodation.
Thinking it could be done in a few ways to allow participation from as many as possible. And meeting at the Loaded Dog, Tarago is a pretty 'central' meeting point.
Date TBA. Though likely July is the earliest and thinking to time it with an event at Wakefield for a bit of morning Motorsport.
Who can come - got a car?
How many can come? More than me I'm hoping.
Do I have to drive all the way? No.
Can I come if I don't live in the Canberra area? Yes.
My P-car ain't running ? Though prefer to keep it air cooled: beetle, ghia, Honda 9 coupe, if you got Got a mk1 Escort, 101 Alfa. . Welcome.
If there is an overnight stop can I meet you there for the second day? Yes.
Is it an issue if I drive faster in my 65 912 than Edgy's Gt3t? if required ( numbers) could have a capable and more capable group . Though remember be safe out there and it's not a race.
