god, all you bloody freeway people. i drive on that road everyday, so id rather take a nicer road! haha.

The pacific highway is an awesome road to drive, and is much better then the freeway :tease:

we will (fingers crossed) be heading up the old road with a convoy of four LJs.

You will miss seeing 2 lanes chockas with Torries then..it is a sight to behold.

When they stop on the Link road at the other end it is pretty specky too.

its made the trip up the freeway 3-4 times now & still pulls just as hard, although the oil pressure slowly drops throughout the day and it tops out at 3100rpm doing 80mph (my speedo is not calibrated correctly so i have no clue what speed im doing :D ).

Sorry fellas wont be going this time still got a broken axle Im taking the diff out on sunday.Im taking it to Mark williams components to get 31 spline billet axles. Its going to take 4 to 5 weeks to get them from the states & THAT S__KS....Make sure you guys take heaps of photos & post them. Maybe next time & watch out for the boys in blue take it easy and enjoy the cruise up there...NO FREEWAY RACING you know what curiosity did ! ! ! !..Have a safe trip...Jason..P.S dont forget to take tools,water,fanbelts & hoses. Just a thought...

COME ON SYDNEY

So far only 6 Torana's & a ford are travelling
up the F3 to Toranafest, i would love to see a 100 Torana's or
more smothering the F3. Just imagine the Hawksbury bridge
covered in Torries from end to the other what a mind blowing
sight to be seen.
