as mentioned in the other thread i'll be in for sure and i'm happy to take a passenger . i just got back from a drive up there and the resurfacing has continued in other areas between mooney mooney and mt white/peats ridge.the surface is a little average and there is a decent amount of loose stones so make sure that you don't get too close to whoever is in front if you value your windshield

Have you worked out where you're staying yet. That way we can try to choose a venue that meets your requirements and you can possibly stumble home from (or at least not spend a fortune on a cab).
I'm just keen to work this out, because I can't make the pac cruise and would love to catch up for a bevvie with ya

At the moment accomodation looks to be either Terigal, Newtown, or the Baulkham Hills area, and as I have no idea where this Pac Road you're talking about is, I'm not sure what will work out best. Time wise, I'd like to do a few things in the morning, so the later the morning start, the better for me, even Midday should be enough time to do the run and still find somewhere good to dribble shit later in the afternoon?!

But that's about it, sorry dude, but if I was coming over from perth, that would be the last place of the three that I'd stay.
Newtown would be my pick. City fringe providing easy access to the city, beaches, etc. It's basically an alternative/trendy place with a main street choccers of cheap restaurants and pubs. Not really great for women, unless you like goth/feral/pierced/etc (sorry about the massive generalisation). And being about a $10 cab ride from the City, you can get shit faced just about anywhere and get home cheaply.
Terrigal would be my other choice as even though it's an hour or whatever from Sydney, but you have the beach

OK hows this to dampen spirits, the weather for Sunday has now changed....see below...
Sunday : Showers and thunderstorms. NW/NE winds ahead of S'ly
change.
Sydney: 21 27
Liverpool: 19 29
Penrith: 19 29
Richmond: 19 29
Bloody weather, people still interested in going? If it's pouring with rain I'm a lot less likely to sit on the side of the road with a camera
davedave is right, Newtown is an awesome spot(my gf used to live around there), plenty of clubs, pubs, women etc...
Terigal is also beaut, nice beaches, great women(as muzzi already pointed out).
Baulkham Hills doesn't really have a lot going for it except it's closest to the start of the cruise(no offense to people that live in Baulkham Hills). It's basically in the burbs, no public transport, not heaps to do, although there are some good pubs.
WRX welcome.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A PLACE FOR LUNCH UP THE COAST WITH GOOD FOOD AND PLENTY OF PARKING?

A fair bit, but it will be packed if the suns out.
Awesome food though.
@ 27 degrees in the day though, it would sound like a late change.

OK, my mate Seth's and My accom has changed yet again, many thanks for the offers from Oldcorollas (Newtown), and Andrij (Baulkham Hills), but it looks like we're crashing at Stitt's place for Saturday and possibly Sunday - thanks again Luke to you and your family. Still looking for accom close to the city if possible for Monday to Wednesday if anyone can offer two beds anywhere?
As for the Pac run, I'd like to try and fetch the car I've bought on Sunday morning - if it's a goer, I have transport, if not, is anyone close to the Botany/Eastlakes area, going to the run, that could give us a lift to the start point?

You're also more than welcome to ride shotgun with me up the Old Pac if you like.. Will give you a chance to see if those struts you sold me got put to good use

Yep thanks for that Alchemist, I appreciate it. I'm hoping to rock up in the new aquisition, but reliability will tell the tale at the end of the day - if the car is not a goer, I'll be relying on Lucid for a lift, many thanks Paul. Anyone wanting to contact me can do so on 0403 733 054.

Also, yep, lets jet down the freeway to a decent pub (ie, place where pool tables, beer, preferably a band, and good looking wenches reside), for a good way to finish off the day - someone suggest a decent venue for us all to gather at? Northern suburbs I'd assume would be the easiest for everyone on the run?
edit: Spelling, I've started early and had a few beers already!

I'll still be keen for a meet-up and drive if it's wet - Will just be taking it more slowly.. If it's absolutely pissing down I'd have to rethink the Old Pac idea, but i'll happily still drive it with some water on the road (albeit just a bit more slowly).

Give me a call on 0409 824 873 if you've got any suggestions for a good Sunday arvo pub in the area 'oc sI don't really know that side of town at all.

if you're going to be drinking later on i'd recommend the northern for 'toss the boss' between 7 and 8 i think
don't be intimidated by the rain. i've driven up from mooney mooney in the middle of a storm, was absolutely amazing having the valley lit up by lightening and seeing flames out of an exhaust.

Hi Guys,
Well it was an excellent day I thought. Didn't start raining until I just pulled onto Pennant Hills Rd We had a good run up the pac, a number of nice cars including a rather nice Pulsar GTi-R, it was non-Toyota but pretty quick. Jason also met us at Terrigal with his beast, that's one special car!
Pics to come soon, video will probably take me a few days to put together, depends how much free time I have around work and other stuff.
I've also learned, next time we do a Pac run, we are going to meet at a servo, not Maccas, I reckon we wasted a good hour waiting for everyone to meet up at different servos and get petrol Well I know better for next time.
Thanks again for a tops day fellas!
Clint, hope you enjoyed yourself mate, Glenns car is a good one to rid shotgun in!

I had a mad time aswell. Got sick of doing 80kph on the way home (on the F3) so got back on the old pac at peats ridge and got home probably just as quick. There was not a single car except for a commodore after Brooklyn. Thanks Nathan for organising this one. I can't wait for the video!!

The drive yesterday was great fun! After getting my wheel alignment all fixed up on Saturday morning the car was more stable than it had been in a long time. 
I have to send my sincerest apologies to Alex in the Silver MR2 who copped a crack in the windscreen when I pulled over to let a small group come past..
The drive home was anything but quick. After catching the start of the downpour around Kariong and having bugger all visibility, I didn't manage to get above 2nd gear on the F3 many times at all. The car did get a good soaking though.
Thanks to Nathan for organising the run, and I hope to see some of the video footage soon. I only took a few photos when we were at the culdesac, but I'll get them online for you as soon as I can.

i gave some warning to people.... i have a crack in my windshield and also many stonechips also on my bonnet from this area. just a fact that comes with driving on roads like this that don't get cleared very often of loose objects.
alex, get the crack checked out and see if it can be fixed/prevented from growing.
