Barry , surprise, surprise, I was thinking of you when was I responding in this thread. By the way what is a 5th wheeler and when are you back .I had tull out the 4.1 diff as it was causing some vibration issues thru the drive train. peter from Canberra is looking at it..Hope fully I will reinstall it . also put some slighter stiffer sway bays the nose sits flatter but not too sure about them yet. Re the cornering speed over the standard.

Looking the goods to bring the Clio if we are all ok with that!

The girl and i may be heading to Brisbane that day so i have almost convinced her that it would be a good idea to go for the run with you guys, have breaky and then head off to QLD.
I will have to sacrifice some fun roads and just freeway it but i am ok with that

Hey Dweezle, you're more than welcome to join us given that you're a current member of the club (it is a club event afterall).

For people who are non-members, you are still welcomed to join us on the run and get a taste of what our club's all about. After 3 events however, we would need people to support the club's expenses and all of our volunteers' time by becoming a member.

Thanks mate.

Looks like a good roll up too.
Car is with Stu at At Spinning Wheel right now and if all goes as hoped i will be there!

though surrounding myself with that many roadsters may have me doubting my decision

Man this is gonna rock. Sorry to miss it. Have an awesome time all!

Guys, I think this is going to be a fantastic turnout!

Some quick logistical matters:

- Weather looks fine (23-34) mostly sunny;
- There are no fires along the Putty Road according to the Rural Fire Services of NSW website;
- There is a small section of Putty Road that has been scheduled for Roadworks. By small, I mean 50m along the main strip of Colo that comes right after the first sharp downhill left turn. This would NOT affect our schedule at all but I'd thought it'll be good to put it out there;

Maps and guidelines will be provided tomorrow morning. Please be there on time as briefing will start at 6:20am with the aim for a 6:30am departure.

Let's go driving!!! :NA6:

I found a jacket , just looking for a pipe. Where does one acquire a smoking implement these days?

I am not sure locally, however there are some lovely pipes on smokingpipes.com

The Tobacconist in North Sydney Station sells them but there's sure to be one in Chatswood where a Gentleman could acquire a suitable example. A traditional Captain may have carved his own on those cold lonely nights behind the wheel of his barge....

Of Course ! It's an MX5 Club of NSW sanctioned event but visitors are welcome to come and see if they like it before they join the MX5 Club. You'll have a blast, you wait and see.

Absolutely! Come along and meet people. Join the club if you feel that it's your type of 'thing'.

For those who would like to meet up beforehand to head off to Maccas together, I will be at Rob's cafe (Forysth Coffee & Tea at Naremburn) at 5am. Leaving at 5:15am sharp to get to Windsor by 6.

Last but not least, a gentle reminder again for those thirsty mx5s.... Make sure you fuel up just before meeting up at Maccas as the whole drive will be over 350kms and premium unleaded is not always available on route

See you all bright and early tomorrow.

Quoting from the great man Neil Barge... Can't. Contain. Excitement :shock:
