Nice car Pete.
I have a request for the monthly meet crew. There are a few people who will be travelling from interstate for the MR2 Australia Trackday Challenge who would like to come along to the Sydney monthly meet which happens to be the night after the two day event. I mentioned a cruise which they would enjoy : A lap of Olympic Park V8SC circuit/ The bay Walk/The bridges to Sydney Harbour Bridge/ The back roads cruise to Cremorne Wharf/ Photoshoot of the harbour from the wharf. This location has plenty of space and quiet enough for a reasonable amount of cars.
This is not about attempting to take over anything, its about providing service to interstate guests when a few happen to be in NSW/Sydney in their MR2 for the first time. I hope you guys can help out the fellow enthusiast's with some of what Sydney has to offer.
Cheers
Steve

Great idea meeting but that agenda's a bit tight for a Wed night meet.

The Sydney people are far too lazy to actually go somewhere on a Wednesday night.

Great idea meeting but that agenda's a bit tight for a Wed night meet.
MTC is very tight schedule too, but manage to make it work so figure the same can be done in Sydney. It's not that tight. - The Olympic Park is less than 5 minutes from the park where people meet
- The bay run is a 15 minute drive from Olympic Park. The bay run is a 5-10 minute drive with brilliant views.
- The Harbour Bridge is less than 10 minutes from Drummoyne where the Bay run finishes.
- The turn off for Cremorne is the turn off for Luna Park then its another 10 minute drive to Cremorne.
- The return trip to Olympic Park is 25 minutes. ( I lived 5 minutes from the wharf while travelling west many days a week so I know this very intimately.
So a the complete loop including stops will take from 90 to 130 minutes. Start at 7.30 then back by 9.30. As mentioned, the interstate owners would appreciate fellow enthusiast's going out of their way to show some of the treats of Sydney after a 3000km round trip to see the East Coast. I am positive they would do the same if we visited.

I'd love to do all that. I'm having to do a 4000km round trip, so i want to make the most of it. It would be great to have fellow MR2 owners show me around....

As much as we would love to do it, I'd have to agree with MR2QIK, the Agenda is a very tight for the number of cars attend that could attend, for 5 cars its probably do-able for the round trip within that time.
The 30th Anniversary was probably a good example of this considering the number of cars, traffic lights stops and starts.
We have almost 5months to look at it. Let's not say No just yet and see what we can come up that would work and make the interstaters happy and not lose them down some back alley ready to be car jacked.
We can have a chat tommorow night about this with the guys to see what other thoughts and ideas are out there.

If you have trouble sorting something out, I can organise a run after the Marulan trackday on the Wednesday afternoon then have the guys met up later that night.
We will finish Marulan by 3ish then head north.
After 50minutes we can turn off at Picton, cruise down Bulli Pass, do the National Park run, then back out to Olympic Park to meet up with the Wednesday night regulars.
Cheers
Steve
