Heads up for tomorrow, the Hwy from Lithgow to Bathurst is always patrolled so look out for cops both on the roadside and mobile.
Drive safe and see you when arrive.

Due to changes in my circumstances and promises I made a few years ago I have decided to sell my 6er, rather than have it sitting in the garage gathering dust. So if any late starters want to get in on this trip, I have the wheels for you.

Look forward to seeing your trip photos when you get back.

Cheers,
Matt

Oh no! Thats shocking news!
We'll have to talk soon.

Ellis.

2416 kilometres door to door of absolute brilliance. Here's a taste, there will be loads to come over the next week once we've all got back to normal.

I bet the country folk look in shock at the site of all those 6'ers together.

I'm really shitted off I'm at home in Melbourne with a 6 that the ecu thinks its in WOT at idle and dumps bulk fuel in.
I'm quiet at work as I said I'd be having this week off. The only reedeming thing today is I've been working in the city and it's 23 deg and a little windy. Some very nice ladies about in short skirts today.

Fuel relay? If not just buy a used ECU on ebay. Ebay.de has them most times.

Photos look great Paul. Cannot wait to see them all. Hopefully Trevor is at my place Sunday to pick up those two 81 635 seats I got off of Peter Simms a few years ago.

That's still the plan Josh.

Top Photos Paul.

Love the one of the 3 6ers into the corner. Just home from Port MacQuarie this arvo. Will post up some pics soon.

Was awesome to meet Paul, Ellis Ben and Orlando. Top guys. Would be interested in another run at some stage.

Regards

Greg.

I've been making the most of my last few days of holidays and the brilliant weather we've had in Sydney so have just gotten around to posting now.

Firstly, thanks everyone who came along and made this such an enjoyable trip, and special thanks to Rob and family for their hospitality. Also to Ellis & Greg for travelling not insignificant distances to join the cruise.

Here are a couple of my pics. I didn't take many of the cars, because Paul and Ellis do such an outstanding job.

Never a dull moment. Ellis & Paul.

Atop Mount Canobolas (near Orange)

CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope. Yep, it's big

Professional giving the amateurs some lessons

Byron Bay

Byron Bay (fake) hippies

Paul trying to get that perfect shot

Hard night / cheap accomodation

Byron Lighthouse, from the eastern most point of the Australian mainland

Four seasons in one day, near Waterfall Way

Entrants in the BMW Ballina to Forster Safari

Oxley Highway

Great minds at work

Sunset over Forster-Tuncurry

And this is where I spent my 2nd last day of holidays - Bobbin Head in the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park, with my housemate on her new bike

Are those you phone pics Ben or with that point and shoot? Either way they look really good and your selection is well chosen. You've managed to make both Ellis an I look normal.

I don't know what those two wheel things are doing there though..............

Stunning day here in Sydney, i've been up to my ears in manure in the garden so my photos are yet to be sorted.

Regards
Paul

Those pics were all taken with the point and shoot. I'd say 9 times out of 10 it takes better shots than my 2005 vintage DSLR. The DSLR comes into it's own for more technical shots, eg low light or burst mode.
