Trying to get Simon & Andrew to come up to Swansea in the topic about the Tuggerah S&S, but I don't think I'm having much luck.

Aaah hell,

Hi

Not going to be able to make it to this one

Still looking for a new job

Andrew

here's some directions from sydney-central coast.
NESCA OVAL Galgabbee rd Swansea.so coming from Doyalson when you get to macca's round-about you go left then follow the old Pacific Hwy,
about 1 or 2 km and it's on the right. There should be signs there any way.

could this event be cancelled due to rain ...cause i had seen it on the event's calendar a long while back but i think it's been taken off  but i don't remember which one i saw it on .. :-\

Haven't heard anything Dave. As far as I know, it's still on. I don't think Iv'e ever seen it on the Show & Shine site, but it's usually on Pinky's site (http://www.pinky.com.au/NSWFEB2010.htm).

(http://www.pinky.com.au/MAD%20DAY%202010%20copy.jpg)

Address/directions;

Bargoed House,Galgabbee Rd, Old Pacific Hwy Swansea (south of Newcastle).

Basically, head north on the F3 until you get to the Doylson/Budgeowi turn off. Take that and head up along the Pacific Highway for about 20k's. Keep going until you get to a large roundabout with a McDonalds on the left, just after the road immediately left at the roundabout (your friendly GPS would say something like "take the first left at the next roundabout). By this stage you should see plenty of HotRods, mini trucks, Mustangs, Corvettes, Packards, MG's etc. Stay on that same road you just turned onto (the McD's will now be on your right, unless you pulled in there for breakfast) for about 1k. There should be a que to turn right into the bush. 

It says $5 for all vehicles, but I'm not sure it that's for those vehicles participating in the S&S, or as well as lookers on. It could be a gold coin donation for spectators. Not sure.

Pay the man at the gate, and creep along the track (especially in a low slung 'reek. lol). Parking for spectators is just before the actual oval. Keep an eye out for any 'reeks you see. If Darren manages to get our 'traditional' spot, it will be along the access track under the trees near the water, but on the oval side.


Darren, know if Anthony is going to take his 'reek out of mothballs?

ohh i have seen that notice an cheer's for the link.... 8)

Not a prob Dave.

Looks like you've been watching the news more than I have. It's raining here now on the CC. And I just looked at the Bureau of Meteorology site (http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/nsw/forecasts/sydney.shtml).

Forecast for the weekend;


They're also saying that the Hunter region will have between 15mm to 25mm of rain Sunday.

Darren, can you keep us updated if it's on or postponed (the 15th according to their flyer), I'll be checking early sunday if it's still on or not.  


 

I was going to ring the fellow up and see if it is still on(i hope it is because the 14th is no good for me)they have stuffed up 15th is the monday.
anyway will let you's know.
...Darren

it's been raining since tuesday night  down here last night the winds picked up an the thunder kicked in an a blackout occured an rain bucketed down towards midnight last night. O0

Ah, of course the 15th is the monday, 14th (valentines) is the sunday. Bad day to have the S&S one too.

We've had some rain during the week Dave, but not that much, unless you count this afternoon, Full thunderstorm, most of the local traffic lights were down, blackouts scattered around the place. Lasted maybe 2 hours then blew it self out. Man was it muggy after that. Still is.

Thanks for that Darren, I'll be keeping an eye on the forums for the update.  ;)

I can't make this now.
                                     Besides the weather being a large factor, I have a big industry rep (HKS!! OMG! (falls to the ground and grovels pathetically) ) coming to inspect a full carbon fibre race car in my workshop on the Sunday (the WRX, Andrew!).

The car is an extreme dollar/no limits example being built for one purpose: to win the first international Time Attack series taking place in Oz in May. There are a few major sponsors on board for this project already but the main guy is tommorrow.

My business name will be all over this car. I was going to upload a pic of it but security begs me different. Apologies for the bad timing but I'm thinking there's a large chance the Mad Show and Shine will be rained out anyway. Sorry guys.

Hi

Would that be 21st and 22nd of May 2010 Car( ;) ;) ;))

Good luck mate

Andrew

Totally understandable Simon. Sounds like a amazing vehicle and a huge opportunity.

so cool advertisment on a race car everyone is going to take notice now... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

hey cyco,
i just rang the dude and it is still on as of 5:41 pm hopefully the rain will stay away.

did anybody go... :)

I believe The Stig did, I piked out in the morning and didn't go. Down here it was all grim and overcast, and was lightly raining when I got up. During the morning it lightly rained again once or twice. I still had to replace the broken passenger side window from Mildura, so I didn't fancy going out in case it decided to rain for real.

I did go out friday to get new side windows, but with the storm we had on friday, the plastics place near me had a blackout, and they don't open on the weekend, otherwise I'd have had two windows saturday.   >:(

i did go and there was no rain all day,Anthony came as well(I was starting to think he'd dropped of the face of the earth I had'nt heard from him since november)
It was a good day not many photo's.
..darren

we all look forward to seeing the one's you took ... ;D
did you guys win any prizes. :D

Ah bloody typical. Should have gone I guess. lol

i hate foney rain it should rain alot or not at all . ;) we copped it real heavy now it's back to sunny like before all the rain... :)

Don't worry, they're forecasting heavy rain with possible thunderstorms from friday through to monday.

 >:(

worry worry ohh i say bring it ... 8)
