    Hey first in ;)

    Thanks everyone who came and made it a great day out -some good roads and food etc and as far as I know no disasters? Except for me taking a wrong turn and nearly driving us back to Sydney, but it wouldn't be a cruise without one small ****up haha...

    I only grabbed a couple of shots and most of my own car (for a change); there were a few cameras floating around I'm sure others will have some to share.

    Anyways hope everyone made it home OK. It wasn't the best weather for flogging a Z so I was quite happy to coast on the way home and watch everyone else fly past lol

    Fly past!? You were sitting at 100 in a 110?
    So of course we looked like zooming hahaha

    We were actually waiting for up to come back past.

    But yes it was hot, temps crept up to 86-87 coming back into Sydney :/

    Great day

    Breif diary write up from me

    5:30am wake up and shower
    6am leave Goulburn-drive 202km north to pick Aaron up
    8:05am pick Aaron up, leave to drive to meet up servo.
    9:15am meet up petrol station.. Had NO PETROL!!
    10am group (13-14zeds departed)
    10:15am already lost, robs group of 7 on route
    My group of 5 going freeway >.< haha
    10:25am- regrouped after a cut inland where we somehow got infront of robs group and almost missed them when Adrian thought we were behind them >.< lol

    10:40am split up again thanks to an army of spaced out cyclists..get to T intersection and no idea where to go..
    Adrain pulls up next to me sitting there lost,
    "I saw them turn left" (sign says SYDNEY left)
    (Sign right says towards hunter region)
    "Are you sure? Lunch is this way"
    Adrian turns left (SYDNEY) to suss it out, as the rest of us are about to pull left too, Rob260 comes cruising back down towards us happily waving followed by the others.

    After this is was rather smoothe.
    Some amazingly fun roads. Shitty curbs but for us lowered cars. But some amazing sections also.

    Had out stop, where a Highway Patrol came past to suss us out.
    Then for some more great country roads , 2 horrible bridges of death where my AC pod vibrated apart >.< lol
    One 5km piece of road that was narrow
    Then 25km of awesome, smoothe, flat open road.
    Worth it!!

    Chris (lilredzed) Got some amazing pics (I hope) also.

    Liam also got various footage of cars at points.

    Lunch was at a awesome much better priced place then tempus two.
    Rather hot day, but nice food

    Rather attractive bar/ waitress girl too *cough* I mean ... Beer was good

    Left after lunch a little smaller grouped on the way back to Sydney through cessnock . Big long highway drive home

    I personally put car in shed at 8pm

    All up
    Near 1000km today :)

    Car did very well

    Northwards over Williams Bridge / Wollombi Brook

    Took a punt that we could grab some shots of the Zeds across one of the waterways north of Wollombi. Not an ideal angle, but still some nice shots.
