Who'd be interested in a run in the new year?

Where would everyone like to go?

As discussed at our last outing, Stockton would be cool

Who'd be interested in attending?

about 10-20 minutes north of newcastle.

about 30 odd kms of sand dunes on the beach

Mountainous sand dunes at that!

I'll be keen for sure . . pending of course. If any of the Canberra crew need a lift I'll be your taxi.

At this stage.

I've been in Sydney almost 6 years now & never been to Stockton.
Definitely be keen, but I'll need to hitch a ride. I don't have an offroad car.

Great fun to be had. Its well worth the trip guys. Brings back memories of camping up there for weeks.

I'll need a lift as well. Someone has my Leone engine.

smoov · Post by **smoov** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:59 pm

i would be happy to provide people with lifts and whatnot....

but...

we gotta have more cars coming than this!! baron - whats the present state of your white sube? surely it'll make it!

we have to have a better subaru representation than this??

how about some interstate interest again on this one??

BaronVonChickenPants · Post by **BaronVonChickenPants** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 11:46 pm

The present state of my white suby is very sad, it's doing well to make it to the end of the driveway, uses 3L of water and 1L of oil every 100km (yes one hundred km's).

This is the reason I'm getting the rubasu, hopefully all will be peachy soon but I can't garuntee I'll be up for a stockton run, I'd love too but I'm looking at 3-4 hours each way from here, and it's not really viable with <1 year old.

I'll see how things are looking when it gets closer.

The Qlders are heading down that way at Easter time I think.

There was talk of that at the BYB BBQ.

SUBYDAZZ will probably make an appearance so we can all laugh when he has to be pushed backwards down a steep sand dune AGAIN!!!

:D:D

I know that this sounds like a full on 4 x 4 trip, but what about including a meet up for the "roadies" before you set off on the dunes?
I would love to come down the beach, but even though the Vortex can lift, It doesn't have a rear LSD. I'm sure others would think the same - or have I already missed that bit of the thread..

fredsub · Post by **fredsub** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:53 am

If the sand is well packed, even without a lift you can have some fun, and I'm sure others will have fun snatching you out when you get stuck.
I think I remember that subydazz didn't have a lift 2 yrs ago now? - a blue liberty right? but has now ?

Also the servo on Nelson Bay road near the turnoff for WilliamTown Raaf has
good wash down booths for those worried about salt/sand.....

For a meetup including "roadies" I think its best to set the meetup point at Anna-Bay

Fury - most of us don't have rear LSD anyway

so not having it shouldn't hold you up.

Nah that's Jack Sparrow aka CSM101 aka some other username at the moment.

Daz has a white Liberty wagon - I believe he had to be pushed back down the dunes in reverse last time...

vincentvega · Post by **vincentvega** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:23 pm

yeah hte blue car was dave's old lib.

dazz was getting around pretty well with his airbags on high and not alot of pressure in the tyres.

Fury · Post by **Fury** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:52 pm

lets hope my Vortex does the same

fredsub · Post by **fredsub** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 1:07 pm

so when are ya'all thinking this'll be ? first/second week of new year ??
whats the plan?

smoov · Post by **smoov** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 5:11 pm

hopefully so that we can co-incide with the QLD Subaru Club coming down.

Fred - Same thing as a year or two ago. Stockton for Easter
