Triple G drives a red 8. Mine is silver. Both our cars will be there. I can't speak for him 100% though, but he said he was dead keen. He's O/S at the moment so he probably isn't going to be on the forum for a couple of weeks to see this thread.

 

Thanks Wildcard.

As for the rest of you - can you please take your 'off-topic' discussions to the sticky or elsewhere please?? As previously mentioned, makes this job harder if I have to wade through non-NSW stuff. Thanks.

 

Just bumping 'the List' past the 'fascinating' CB discussion.

Would those on the YES list please post confirmation that you still intend to come or PM me if you wish. I've bolded the guys who have already done so.

26 August is the cut off date for initial financial commitment. If we don't have 30+ by then the whole thing may be called off so please work out what you're doing and post whether or not you're coming ASAP.

We will advise in due course how much that initial financial commitment will be and how it can be paid.

 

I'm in :D

 

Please add me to the list. I will be driving down from Sydney probably early on the Saturday morning.

 

BUMP - come on guys - let me know what you're doing.

I have duplicated this thread in RX8club.com.au (see the Nats forum in the 'Driving' section of the index).

Or just hit https://www.rx8club.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=321.

 

Yes I will be there.I've been quiet for the last 5 weeks as I have been on holiday in Peru and Bolivia. Surprisingly, I did not see any 8's

So its been 5 weeks since I have driven mine! Guess what I am about to do....

 

Relax a little Revolver, it's only the 3rd of August. I'm often away from this forum for weeks at a time due to work and travel. I'm sure everyone will pipe up by the 26th.

 

You're right Wildcard - sorry! :o

I've deleted my little spack attack.

 

To save having to update the list of NSW attendees in two places, I'm just gonna update the list in the au site from now on - see link in post #32 of this thread. Of course, feel free to continue posting here as to whether or not you're coming/suggestions/comments, etc.

Apologies if some have been offended by my efforts to 'co-ordinate' - just trying to make sure we get the numbers up.

Will attempt to relax from now on! :o

 

We're not offended, you just seem to be giving yourself a hernia with all your enthusiasm!

 

Just bumping this for any NSW guys who have been away from the forum.

 

Revolver,

Got your PM thanks. Also thanks for running with the NSW co-ord of the Nats. I am in. As discussed I will make my way down with Wildcard....... however if things change I will look to meet up with the rest of the guys in Sydney

Thanks G

 

Good to hear from you Triple G

I'll promote you from MAYBE to YES! Wildcard had indicated you're coming but I just wanted to confirm.

At this stage there hasn't been much interest shown in cruising down to Goulburn in company (or back for that matter). Still, that might change as we get a bit closer.

I'll probably make some arrangements on the old "build it and they will come" philosophy.

 

I'd be in for a group cruise down.

 

hello revolver. put me in for a maybe group.
I'm really hoping to make it although I have a certification examination on the following week.. is this going to be from Friday to Sunday?

 

Noted Muzz

Check back either here or on the NSW Owners thread in the Aus site (https://www.rx8club.com.au/forum/vie...hp?p=2568#2568) and I'll post a suggested cruise down plan as we get a bit closer.

 

From memory I've got you in the Maybe list in the NSW Owners thread in the Aus site already but I'll check (see https://www.rx8club.com.au/forum/vie...hp?p=2568#2568). Please let me know when you go from Maybe to either YES :D :D or NO .

The program is still coming together but I think it is now safe to say that yes it will cover Friday to Sunday morning at least. Of course, how much of that you wish to participate in is up to you.

As for your exam - you've got heaps of time between now and then - study hard and use the Nats weekend as a head clearer before your exam! :D

 

Those who have registered interest in the RX8 Nationals with their respective state coordinators will shortly be receiving a broadcast email (not a PM) dealing with the subject of registration fees, etc. Responses to that email are required by 26 August.

If you have not yet registered interest and wish to receive this email, please PM your email address to your state coordinator now.

If you have previously registered interest and have not received the broadcast email by tomorrow, please ask your state coordinator to send it to you (and provide your email address).

Coordinators are as follows:

QLD - xxup

Vic - takahashi

NSW - Revolver

ACT - Timbo

Other states - any of the above will respond.

There will be a limit on the number of cars accepted.

 

BUMP

Just reposting the below information as it quickly got lost in the other thread meanderings and I've had a few recent queries about the cruise down to Wakefield.

Regarding a cruise in company down to Wakefield on the Friday afternoon of the Nats weekend, I did some looking on my way down for the RENEW track day and can report as follows:

There is a roadhouse (Mobil at Pheasants Nest). It is 53.8kms south of the M5 Toll Plaza.

Another option a little closer to Sydney is a largish Rest Area, which is 36.4kms south of the M5 Toll Plaza. Marked by only a smallish sign so keep a sharp eye out for it.

As far as I could see there is nowhere closer to Sydney that is safe to turn off the highway and wait at but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm keen to pick somewhere south of the main congested areas because the M5 can get very busy on a Friday arvo and trying to maintain any kind of convoy will be just too hard.

Unless someone's got a better suggestion, my vote is for the Rest Area - there's plenty of parking room and we won't be bothering anyone if some of us are there for half an hour or more waiting for others to turn up.

As for timing, I'd suggest 3.30 for a 4.00pm sharp departure. That should get us to Wakefield by 6.00pm easy.

 

They sound like good suggestions, and I don't mind where we meet up . But I will throw in another idea which worked very well on the w'end "Homebush P6". Just a thought, but it catered for us nicely on the w'end and we had room for a lot more cars too :D :D . And some of the guys said it would also be a good meet up point for the Nat's also .

 

As posted in the dot au forum, the advantage of the Rest Area is that it is on the route to Goulburn and has plenty of space for parking. I also don't fancy driving across Sydney on a Friday arvo to get to Homebush.

Suggest that if people find Homebush convenient that can be used as a preliminary meet-up point before travelling to the Rest Area where the rest of us will be. I'd say you'd need to allow 30-45 mins to travel from Homebush to the Rest Area.

 

Agreed, i would prefer to meet up away from the centre of Sydney.

 

Revolver,
Apologies for not responding to you: I told Timbo I could not make it when the whole idea was first floated.
cheers, jack
