MR2 Club of NSW - June 2018 event - Putty Rd Drive

Hi All,

It’s time for our next event and this time we’re doing a drive down Putty Road. Anyone who’s been involved with cars in the Sydney/Newcastle region for a long time knows about Putty Rd. It’s a fantastic example of twisting tarmac and beautiful scenery leading into the greater Singleton region. It’s a highly recommended trip and in cars like ours it should make for a great day.

As there are two meeting groups in Sydney and Newcastle the plan is for everyone to meet at the Oak Dairy Bar in Freemans waterhole and from there drive through Wollombi with a potential stop at the Tavern for a rest and photo opportunity and then onto Putty Rd. We will stop at the half way point which is a café called Grey Gum Café that has ample parking and the day will end with lunch. The best half of Putty Rd is the top half so there’s no need to do the 2nd half but Sydney members may want to take the rest of the road home. Newcastle members can indulge themselves a second time and go back up Putty Rd to go home.

Nice turnout NSW guys.

Can't believe Daz ended up actually parting with his widebody
Kicking myself for not getting it....nice to see it on the road though.
