I'll be coming along.  I won't be able to come from the M7 way though.  

What entrance do we use please when we get there?

Most of these Westfield places have so tight a turning circle that it becomes difficult to get around.

There is heaps of room on the ramp they use, it pretty much goes straight from street level to the roof not steep & no tight turns.

Thanks Craig.

That's a relief about the ramp access.  

I'll be going today guys whether it rains or not.  We're supposed to be moved undercover if it's raining.

I spent 8 hours polishing the car yesterday.

Gotta make some use of it.  He he.

Been raining out here all night. Just starting to clear up a bit now, but looks like more on the way at the moment.

We're still going though, at least it won't be too hot.

Was on the way up in the Pontiac ute..heading down just to the bottom of heathcote rd at the  Woronora Bridge and  was right on top of a head on between a truck & car about 50 metres South of the bridge.. Was there perhaps 10 seconds after it happened -everything was still..and raining...ended just staying and helped out as best you can... Within a minute maybe 10 others came out of nowhere... then took over so I ended up back up the road and blocked it off to stop the brain dead and site seer's gawking...getting people to do u turns quickly so the eu's could get down there before it all became clogged as it would have done in maybe 5minutes due to the roads limited approach.. It worked but still took about 15 minutes till the cavalry arrived in bulk. At least 6 Ambos  then reuse and SES then HWP etc before they shut down the road from the top.
   At least 4 people where in a VERY bad way..and you can do bugger all to really help them.. One perhaps deceased who was buried in the sedan...it's a bad bit of road especially in the wet. I understand the road was still closed at noon.

It was a really good day out.  Met a lot of nice people.

A lot of really weird ones too.

It was nice talking to all the club members today.

Definitely looking forward to our next run.

Sorry to hear that Ozpont........sounds like someone didn't finish the day.....makes you appreciate things more...........

As for Castle Towers.......everyone started the day shammying off their cars ......and not happy about the roof as all we could see was more clouds on all sides
after the massive carpark filled there was plenty to look at .....reminds me of the CMC Day at Eastern Creek the variety included 19 cars from our Club and 160 -170 Mustangs, an Excalibur, a Studebaker or two, plenty of Chevy sedans, I saw at least three T Birds with the porthole window, amongst many other Thunderbirds, Willys Jeeps some with trailers, a General McArthur lookalike with corn cob pipe,oh....sorry a centre area full of Corvettes, and in another area some really nice Lincoln Continentals and Cadillacs, we saw two cars from the early 1900's.......very interesting stuff....photos will follow soon

Another big day at Castle Towers for the annual All American Day........the weather played its part on the day but still lots of quality cars on show and a big crowd were there when I arrived just after 2pm. Well done to the Mustang Owners Club of Australia (NSW) for what was the 30th Anniversary on this popular car show in Sydney.

Very lucky ozpont but unfortunate for the others involved,  everytime it rains you can bet within minutes we hear sirens. People seriously need to learn to drive to the conditions.

Top shots Gene!

Great turnout, didn't expect that amount of members as there was not much of a response on the forum. The weather was pretty good apart from the trip there and back, the wipers decided to pack it in on the Talladega so driving in the rain was not my idea of a safe trip!
