NSW: Cruise to Bathurst (18th February 2007) - Page 2

Fast Eddie · 18-02-2007, 05:03 PM

Well I came back early and am enjoying a coldie before dinner. I actually have a big day tomorrow and need to leave home early again.

It was fantastic weather and I enjoyed the drive over on the Bell's Line of Road. Good to see the Eurofordclub members, XR5 Turbo's and also some beautiful Cosworth cars.

Oh, and you wouldn't believe it but I bumped into another person I know from my area. That just about makes every Cruise that I've come across someone I know.

.... nah j/k.. I dunno... i went to bed early so i can be 100% for the cruise but ended up waking up at 2:30am lol...

The cruise, wow... what can I say... it was the most enjoyable cruise I've had so far. Stress-free, everyone seemed to enjoyed it. The drive on Bells Line of Road was awesome while mount panorama was good... it's a shame that it's limited to 60kph.
On the way home Sean (Photn), Damo (MISTA FIESTA) and myself went on the Great Western Hwy. Anyone spotted the dead wombat on its back?
We were crawling at 20-30kph for 15minutes at one section... that just drove me nuts.

It was great to hang out with Eurofordclub people, along with Classic Ford people. There were some pretty sweet Cosworths on the day. Good stuff.

Last but not least, a huge thanks to Sean (Seano) for inviting us to the cruise. A well organized cruise, GREAT line-up of cars, EASY and fun route... VERY HARD to top!

Firstly, big shout out to Seano, for orgainising another great day out. I think about 15 cars in total joined us, and i know eeryone had a ball.

I myself am still pumped and quite sunburt from todays outting. The drive on Bells Line of Road was bloody awesome, except for the two caravans who had no stick. Mount Panorama was a real eyeopener. It was pretty quite for us to get everyone lined up on the starting grid, in true V8 fashion. The road was soo smooth and grippy i felt i was driving on clouds and the view from the top was spectacular.

On the way home the Great Western Hwy was pretty eventful. Did anyone see the dead kangaroo?? I too was angry at the 20-30kph tanker who banked up traffic for 2kms.

Thanks to everyone that came. Those Cosworths are absolutley NUTZ. Hope to see you all again next time.

Thanks to the "Trucks & buses use low gear, maximum 40kph" sign. Single lane + road divider.... nothing we can do.

Jump onto CH40 and yell abuse?

Thanks to all who came on the cruise today... It was great to see you all again

I think Bathurst will definately be a repeat cruise destination... maybe an annual event. I had a great time both on the drive up Bells Line of Road and around Mount Panorama (was there a 60kph limit? I didn't see the signs :P)

We saw that upside-down wombat too, but turned off the highway just after it and had some more fun on the twisties heading back down Bells Line.

Glad you guys had a great day and hope to see you at the next one ;)

Had to add this pic aswell... this one's my favourite

So, I see some of you discovered the "joys" of driving through the G.W.H. on a late Sunday arvo. What your probably talking about is Lawson. It's due to be widened and I can't wait! It started to back up just around the corner (western end) when I went through (and that was quite early).

I too spotted poor "wally".

Thanks Seano for organising the Cruise. I'll have to one day ride with you in your XR5 Turbo.

Cheers,
Eddie.
