I study Property Economics, its the biggest excuse for a uni course I only have 9hrs of uni a week and thats if the lecturers decide they want to use the whole 3hrs.

Well I Alex (the other one) is dropping round to my place at about 5am, then we are going to head down berowra waters and across the ferry and up through dural and that. Its a really nice drive. So yea we should all meet up.

surprisingly from nb8b's, they're quite efficient. i got 430kms thrashing my car all of this week :oops:

if i cruised around town, i'd be getting 500kms easily

i carry a 10 litre jerry can to all track days, might start doing the same for longer club runs as well....

probably a good investment for you guys that are planning on giving the putty rd a red hot go...

the plastic jerry cans are cheap as chips from supercheap / autobarn etc

sliq · Postby **sliq** » Sun Aug 24, 2008 8:21 pm

yup, plastic is definitely the way to go..

the steel/metal/whatever metal it is ones contract if they don't get oxygen into them...................... :oops:

If you get some fuel just before the Macca's kickoff and unless you have a fully hectic turbo setup and you're planning on driving it waaaaaaaay over the speed limit then you will easily make it back to civilisation and a servo before you run dry.

I might take this opportunity to remind everyone that all the best parts of the Putty, and a fair chunk of the not so good parts, as well as the awesomely sensational road to Broke and on to Wollombi now have 80kmh speed limits. :evil:

So I'm not sure how fast everyone is intending to drive considering 30kmh over the speed limit = automatic 3 month licence suspension.

Do you ever see Cops down there????

Encountered 3 police car on the twisty parts of the Putty Road on Sunday! They seem to be sneakier than ever. Even to the officers wearing plain clothes while on patrol!

Anyway. keep and eye out for an unmarked VZ SS in silver, an unmarked VE in burnt orange and a marked white car.

Perhaps they also need a reminder of the infamous putty MX5 rollover test.
