Is the feather duster going chook? I haven't seen it yet. If it's not a problem we might tag along too.

Not sure yet Marni has plans for Sunday so I may be on my own.

So give her the Firebird and bring the Duster. I'm never going to see this thing. :ripped: :smile:
-
CPU it's like everyone keeps telling you you have to get out more:rol:
-
he won't take the Duster... it's 2 fast 4 him...:boxing:
-
Hey Joe I heard someone say that the Feather duster is faster than the Screaming Chicken????:cry:
-
I think it is quicker than most Mu$tangs and Corvette's and I'm sure its faster than the Camaro but it is no match for the TA.:gotya:
-
SO are you pair of troublemakers coming on Sunday or not.
-
probably not????
-
if the weather holds will be there .........looking forward to driving the car now !
-
Hey Joe, Nothing is quicker than a MOPAR :boxing: should be there sunday :shades:
-
na... gotta work..:cry:
Have fun guys...:drink:
-
Looks good, might throw the family in the car and come along :boxing:
-
Hi guys they are predicting NO NO :rain: for SUNDAY lets go cruising. I have just thought of another famous pie stop we can have on the way to Kangaroo Valley we could then stop for coffee & donuts at the van in Berry if there is parking ?

Maybe you should enter Nostalgia drags to prove that point ..until then you have NO bragging rights !
-
I have not decided yet. I have promised one of my flying buddies to go flying on sunday so if i am not with you guys and see a low flying aeroplane rocking it's wings above you, just wave to me.
Cheers, Biggles... The Flying Mechanic

Gday Guys,
I am going to try make it sunday work permitting.
Not sure where the parachute location on picton road is I am coming down M5 do I turn left onto picton road or right ? nearest cross road/street ?
Bye
jase

When heading south........
Take the Picton Rd off ramp and then turn right onto Picton Rd. Go over the Freeway. The suicide jokeys are just on your right hand side. (Basicall the cnr of Picton Rd and the Freeway) Pretty sure there is an area on the left side of the road , opposite the airfield, where you can pull over.
-
Maybe meet at Uncle Leo's at 10.30 so everyone knows how to get to airfield?

Now that was my idea of a dammmm fun day. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Chickenman took us through some back roads through the hills that were are great drive. There was one area where I thought there was a cloud of thick fog but it had a smell of rubber chicken, or is that chicken rubber? :zip:
I believe you had some new members on the run. I'll leave it to your club members to welcome them. Dammm nice Mach I.
Much joking was had at the numerous stops along the way. Needles to say that there will be some wise crack comments made here as time progresses. Bloody birds :ripped: :smile:
I was amazed to find out that Monzas and Pontiacs had so much in common. And Fords and Pontiacs had interchangeable parts as far as the diff goes. :rub:
I'm sure some pictures will be shown once the chook gets them uploaded, and I will get some video up once it's edited.
Also stay tuned to this channel for some more photoshop, Stewart......... hehehehe!
Lesley, love ya duster. Looks like you were having some fun today. Every time we saw you , you had a huge smile on your face.
154 [strike]kilometers[/strike] miles in total from door to door and 8 hours of fun and joy with a great group of people. You guys sure know how to have a fun day cruising.
Good one elpresidentey.
Let me know next time you do this and we'll come along for sure, but with a new accessory for my car

Thanks CPU yes was a great day with lots of laughs & it was good to meet Alan & Gail with a lovely 69 Mach 1 Mustang said the have been looking at our web site & decided to come along on one of the runs they really picked a good one today. I always believe if you have been on a cruise for 8 hours it's a good run. I must thank Joe for the idea of the back road from Thirlmere & Grandpars Shed I have never seen so much stuff in one place I still want the pulpit & the sheriffs badge so I can preach from it. Thanks to the members that come along & made it a great trip looking forward to the next cruise.

Did you guys actually get to drive through Kangaroo Valley township.. ?? I was sitten outside the pub with the bikers for about an hour till around 1pm.. then went off towards Berri.. and took a wrong bloody turn up in the mountains.. found places and roads nobody had traveled for century's..... especially not the RTA for sure.... ended up back in bloody Kangaroo Valley again.. .. There was also a bad .. no... VERY bad accident at the top of MacQuarie Pass on the way up around 11-11.30am which had the all resources at including the Careflight chopper.. but no road closure staff at the time.. you just had to figure it out and do a tight turn about etc.
Anyway.. yes it was a good day for a drive for sure.. and nice just sitten taken in the scenery & reading the paper at a few places .. need a job like that...!
-

CPU
i was also surprised at how much in common corvette,s and xy falcons had in common !

we had a great day we will have to do that cruse again one day. :fantastic:
-
Great to see your out and about Alan...:rub:
The car obviously is running ok now ..:way::drink:
-
one thing i did notice on the day
el president has no idea how to use that thing in the middle of the car .....all he can find is D and R ..........all he does is ride the brakes down the hills
ohh and that chicken smoke on the cross over to berry was a ONE wheel whizzer ...........i was behind it left rear never smoked !!!!! !
and i think the Monza likes the Duster ...if they got to close there was a harmonic vibration going on between them !
-
ausmonza my brakes work fine thats why they were invented to stop you going down steep hills, I suggest you should check yours if they won't pull you up going down hill. Get Dave to get you some good brake pads like the ones I got from him for the Camaro
:seeya: Garry :spaghetti::drink:
-
ohh and that chicken smoke on the cross over to berry was a ONE wheel whizzer ...........i was behind it left rear never smoked !!!!! !
Steve when I looked back I clearly seen equal and ample amounts of smoke from both wheels not sure how you could see my left rear as I couldn't see your bright yellow Monza threw all the smoke.
-
Nikki and I had a great day - always good to get the vette out.
Hot sunny days are not the ideal environment for a big block
convertable with no aircon.
Sorry CPU for the dust storm created by the big block with downward facing exhaust tips.
Maureen and Mal have had a similar experiance. I did offer to follow
you. :gotya:
Did a quick calculation at Granpa's shed and went back to Bowral for fuel. Bit disappointed.

Yep, there were two chicken tracks.

..........I did offer to follow you. :gotya:
Now I know why. :lol:
Mind you I did exactly the same thing later at the pub car park. My pipes point down too. :smile:
Damm shame you couldn't come all the way. I was at half tank at the same time as you were and made it back ok. But then you do have a few more cubes than I do. :smile:
Great to catch up with you again.

Hi Guys, Just like to say I had a really nice time on Saturday night for dinner at Bombora, then sunday was fantastic, great weather, company and a long and interesting cruise. It was grouse, that is the longest Iv'e ever driven a LHD car and mine at that. Left home 10.30am and arrived back home 7.30pm what a gas it was, and I was really proud of myself I went really good, except every time I went to hop back in the car I went to the wrong side. LOL. It was good experience but I was really shagged when I got home, all that concentration.
Anyway thanks guys for a great day.

Looks like i mist out on some good pie eatn, looks like someone was enjoying themselves :rol:

Thanks guys for making us feel welcome on the day we haven't been cruising for years and this one was a good one to start again.
i was only intending to go to Thirlmere and back for the car to tune and decided to go along to the falls lucky we didnt go any further, the car started to drop cylinders and only running on 4 by the time we got home, my apologies to the people behind and all those furry animals. Made some changes to the injector rate and map, rebuilt alternator and some rewire its alive again firing on all 8.
thanks for a great day
