Photographer On Old Pac

Hi Guys,
On our Old Pac run on the weekend there was a guy at a particular hairput who was grabbing lots snaps of bikes and cars as the flew through(and no he wasn't a cop...) I was wondering if anyone knew any more info on this guy, aparently he posts them up on a webpage somewhere, but I can't find any info on it.
Anyway got a link, or a contact to chase up? BlackSupra and I should have some nice photos from him!
Cheers,
Nath

Not sure about this, but I almost shat my pants when I came around a bend on Friday night to see about 8 cop cars with one of the cops pointing at me as I went past....... I was kicking myself (just lost 6 points on the way to Toyfest!) until I realised he was wearing a dog-squad uniform. Still, time and letterbox contents will tell I guess, but I'm pretty sure they were there for a drug bust or some shit.
The OP is getting a bit hairy these days as far as chances of getting busted go unfortunately.....
So what is this site where he posts them up about? The condemnation of hoons or something?

I'm pretty sure he has a roadside stall up there somewhere that he sells his wares from.. From memory it's not too far from the corner he takes the pics from..
Just stop in and have a look next time

i saw him the w/e before and had a quick chat to him although didn't get the website... but his name is elvis. he mainly gets shots of bikes although he said that if he saw me up there again he'd take a shot. when i passed him this week it would have made a funny shot. kid in corolla, wearing a blue singlet with a cigarette in one hand flooring it through i corner hahaha
i'm up there every w/e just about before i head to work like to go for a drive so i'll probably see him again, if so i'll stop and have a chat again.
on saturday i drove through and there were no police at all which i though was strange... then on sunday i passed heaps driving through at the same time of day aswell. think i passed one at 90-100 going uphill on the way back

its the old pacific highway
I was like that too at one stage.
I was like WTF? Old Pac wot the hell is dat.
But yes its just the old pacific highway normally they talk about the little used section after hornsby, that runs north (depending on which way ur going) and weaves to either side of the F3.
I think im correct hurl hard objects with sharp points at me if im wrong.

come on, you own an mr2 in sydney & never heard of this road?!?!
drop the old & you'll find it. 'old' is just to differentiate it from the newer F3 freeway which runs alongside it

I can't beleive you don't no the road, personally I have never actually driven on the road but after many a family vacation, coming home my dad has taken it as the F3 has been packed, nice flowing corners no traffic and two lane cascading through rocks, my dad ain't exactly a hoon but its not only to beat the traffic that he takes the road he loves it. Now i'm off school think I might take the rona for a run one day, got all the time in the world both this and the galston gorge are two roads I wanna go for a drive on before I start uni and fulltime work next january.

Yes, it's about 30-45 minutes of twisties from Hornsby right into Gosford. Mostly singel lane, but there are some nice bits where it goes dual lanes and you can have all sorts of fun.
Sticking to the speed limit is even fun
Next time we have a cruise up the Old Pac you guys that havn't been need to come along!

*scribbles "drve old pac on notepad of things to do in sydney*
Geez guys even i know about this road , but yet to drive it !
Its like not knowing what the GOR ( great ocean road ) is in victoria ! Or any road in the adelaide hills ( eagle on the hill is a fun short sprint )
for F's sake city boys , get out of your suburban streets + traffic lights and apprciate your car on roads like these!
Otherwise you TRUELY dont deserve a car .. Use public transport!

Been the great ocean road on a family holiday pretty good excepty for all the os tourists in their vans. Another mad/dangerous road in NSW is Bulladealah, its bypassed now so traffic shouldn't be a problem, been on that road as a passenger so many timwes on the way north for holidays. I wanna driev it that and the road up to dorrigo waterfall way I think its called, there just so far away from sydney.

i'm assuming stage one is to mooney mooney,
2 is to the T intersections
3 is to the end (roundabout)???
stage one reverse is awesome, 3 in general is a pain in the ass since the raod is pretty poor in places, although on the way back it's alright.
2 is just all speed and sweeping bends with i nice break in the middle where it gets divided.

when i went with my mates to kangaroo valley, we went down the mountain on this pass... there was about 8 u-turn roads, each lane was about 2 normal lanes in width... it was good quality asphalt as well... but i guess one mistake will send you down the cliff into a bloody death

Yep..... And it's ALL my favourite!!! But yeah, stage 3 is a bit shitty where the asphalt has been ripped up on some of the corners where you have those mad cliffs on the side.
The road at Bulladealah I've heard is AWESOME, and the pass down into Kangaroo Valley is very picturesque, but I can't imagine fanging down it too hard. It's very steep. Maybe Takumi could do it as he is the king of the downhill from what I understand...

stage 3 is shithouse where you go down over that little bridge and then backup again.... you need luxo barge comfort suspension otherwise your car gets OWNZED. Its not the smoothest road for the most part, but its good fun!

that u turn after the bridge where it tightens is pretty cool i think, always have to set yourself up for it which is kinda cool, you either nail it or screw it completely
and i'll agree with SX_UL8R on that, the rolla kicks it on the 2nd and then reverse of 1 is great, pick your line and nail it with the 2 lanes to play with

i've driven it both day and night, night is pretty cool because you just concentrate on the road and it's easier to see oncoming traffic from a distance. daytime brings slow drivers, was caught behind someone doing 50 on the w/e and that was really frustrating, wouldn't give any room to overtake so i eventually went up the inside which was a little scary

Hehe, so everyone has different definitions, interesting.
But for me its this;
FROM sydney;
Stage1 - the beginning, just after the first group of houses until just before the hawksbury bridge (obviously you slow down here and take it easy)
Stage2 - Begins just after the hawksbury bridge and goes all the way to the major intersection (right to gosford, left... cant remember) and ofcourse you turn right where;
Stage3 - All the way to the 'end roundabout' But I just mostly uturn abit before it.
.... I like 1 in reverse because its so highspeed and the camber of the road at times gets insane. And 3 reverse.... I once was very determined to keep up with a bike. So it was an awesome pace setter. And it was an interesting drive

Hehe.. I'm much the same here. From memory the first section gives you all of those lovely dual lane sections to play with going up the hills, which makes overtaking a cinch These sort of roads make me REALLY want to have a go at Hill Climbs at some stage.
I also have a couple of memorable experiences of coming back through the third section and trying to keep up with some MUCH faster cars.. One was a certain JZA70 who's new owner still resides on these forums - The other was a red Series 2/3 RX7 with 13B turbo, that would quite commonly be seen at shows like Summernats.. There's one vicious right hander in particular when coming back through this last section that's caused me to nearly lose it too.. Scary stuff!

stage 1 inbound is my fave too, seems to be more agressive inbound than outbound, stage one outbound is a warm up for me
standout moment was a little drifty drifty with takumi ben n the ae86 touge cruise whilst doing average 150kph
but stage 3 is good with my cars susp setup??

I'll refer to sections of roads as stages, unless you can give me a better word to use.
