Title: Sunday MAR 18th Pie & Cholestrol cruise
Post by: joe74ta on March 03, 2012, 11:17:43 AM

Pie & Cholestrol cruise if you haven't been on this run before you don't know what you are missing. Meeting at Picton Rd west side of the M5, near where they Parachute, at 10.00am leaving at 10.15am. Cruising to Therlmere pie shop then onto Grandpas shed followed by a pie at Kangaroo Valley then up over the mountains coming out at Berry for a Hot Dog or Donuts & a quick visit to the Chocolate factory & finish off with a coffee at Maccas at Albion Park. We should do about 150 K's or more. This year we might make it an observation run also.

the meet up.....those gaps are caused by puddles

Grandpa's Shed....before we got there - Tony had a leaking top radiator hose, 72 Nova's brakes were hanging on.......turned out to be a wheel bearing and Jeff's Trans Am decided mufflers were optional.......next stop Garry's car was losing a lot of water.....and the speed humps made the Corvettes park elsewhere.........

oh....I forgot the gravel road.....the landslides....yes there was two of them.....and then it started lightly raining

(http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m611/Camaro745/AMCCA%202012-03-18%20Pie%20and%20Cholestrol%20Run/_7000091.jpg)


then we had corrosion of Joe's battery terminals.....getting abused by other motorists for turning round to go back to help

finally made it to Berry where both Joe and Jeff's cars needed 'a cuppa' and Jeff and Linda didn't know why I kept taking so many photos............

finally got our coffees at  Albion Park Maccas.....then  the odd drop of rain to assist with cooling on the way home and a Sunbeam Tiger was also heading home
