Yeh thanks guys for organising the cruise Not a bad turn out finally put faces to the names... We eventually made it to Imperial after Ardens GPS knowledge failed but we were back on track in the grid of Long w/end traffic up to the mountains. Good to see there were quite a few sp20's on the day |

I think the trip up displays the need for everyone to have writen directions or atleast anfair idea of how there are getting to where we are going not just destination. I was crusing up saw everyone turn left, cool follow them then lost em at lights, no sign of them and see a right turn to Blue MOuntains (Motorway) sounds about good. (Me and Rob exchange severals shruggs and take it)

Jenolan was awesome I'd recomend that road to anyone, a great drive prob fav ever, beatiful scenery nice mix of speeds, 100 zones with 45 corners = Fun fun, Zoom Zoom, Went for a tour thru jenolan caves was $16 for hour and a half, worth it, Didn't arrive back till about 8 (But yes still have the same Girlfriend) was a Good day, thanks for organising. Sorry for heading off earlyish, |

It doesnt sound like it was a bad little cruise, how many people did end up turning up cause from the list it sounds like it was to be a huge day.

its obviously how he drives his car, maybe he doesnt thrash the car as hard as some, plus his car is newer so it would be alot more efficient.
