Canberra: Sunday drive? 29 May -- photos

I am suggesting this as a possible activity, based on one or two RX-8 visitors from Sydney (Revolver!!)

I suggest we meet at the Tradies car park in Dickson at 2pm, then drive out to Gundaroo for a coffee, followed by a drive out to Gunning then back into Canberra.
Who's interested??

To save me PM'ing everyone, can you pass this on to other 8 owners, and let me know

Tim

Bugger, Timbo. I'd like to meet the Sydney blokes, and see Tim Tam's new blue, but on Sunday I'll be halfway between Adelaide and Coober Pedy.

Have a great day!!

Ron

I'm in, I'll dawdle along behind at 4000rpm. Perhaps I could borrow Ron's car for the arvo? Shame there are no twistie roads out that way, but such is life.

Timbo, is Ben with the Black RX-8 on this list?

Timbo

Much obliged for setting this up.

I'll be solo but of course if any other Sydney guys fancy a drive to Canberra and back on Sunday that would be great.

Not being overly familiar with Dickson, what is the street address of the Tradies??

Look forward to meeting whoever makes it.

And Tim, of course we'll wait for you!! :p

I s'pose we do need to differentiate with the new Galaxy Gray coming next.

For that one we'll abbreviate by chopping out the middle bit and calling it Gay Gray.

Ah, bad luck -- my son used to work in the Concierge dept there -- valet parking, but alas, no longer. What's more, he would have really appreciated the opportunity to drive an 8, as there's no frikin' way he's driving his Dad's car! D

Shame. That reminds me - better check the mileage in case somebody there decides to do a Ferris Bueller on me!! :D :D

Careful Kalli -- we're all hot air up here (and cold feet, judging by this morning's -3C effort)

Tim Tam now has his car, so rest assured he won't even notice you

But, if you're heading this way, you are most welcome

Not bad by Canberra standards. At least it shouldn't be snowing.

I think MissRX8 prefers the full fat version Tim!! :D :D

Lite versions with no flavour need not apply.
