December Drive day for NSW/ACT owners?

[CanberravRS]

Just seeing what the interest is for anyone who's interested in maybe a drive day, to get a bunch of us together, show off the cars as a group etc. I know the VW guys do it regularly here in Canberra, but was hoping we could tee up a Skoda drive day.

If your interested leave a message and maybe a suggestion on some good drives for all types?

Count me in.
Just let me know the concensus on a the drive and i will bring the Yellow Mellow with me.

As I said in SKODA vRS147's thread, count us in... depending on my shifts etc.

We're in St. George area of Sydney so can go north, south, west or a few k's east (without floats).

Just as an idea, a good Sydney / Newcastle drive is for the Sydney folks to come up the Old Pac to Mangrove Mountain (Where the Newcastle Folks can Meet them...) and then drive down to the Wisemans Ferry Crossing. Start the day nice and early, and the roads are clear and you can have Breakfast down there. Sydney folks can choose their own way home, Newy folks get to drive the twisties again. Its all good. (Except for the boring Freeway part for me.....)

Edit.....ooopppss.....just realised, that's not much help for Canberra folks....sorry.

Count me in everyone. As for location well I'm not really sure... Sydney (or just south) really is the centre for everyone, so I was thinking of the National Park just above Wollongong? Lovely, lovely drive! But of course, not everyone will agree with that so feel free to add a suggestion .

Great idea. I ll be there as long as it fits in with work shifts. How about someone contact Skoda Oz, they may like to buy us lunch etc.

i'd definately take some time to come for a meet/drive.

i've done a couple of car cruises in the past - popular spots were in and around wisemans ferry; kurringai national park.

i'm regularily up in sydney atleast one a month for a weekend with my folks. so i don't mind a meet in sydney either.

Just to clarify - I assume this will be a "family friendly" event? I have two young monkeys and a missus to think about!

Well I hope that its definately a family friendly event indeed.

Southern Highland Wines - Welcome to Southern Highland Wines

This winery is on the main drag through Sutton Forest. Has food etc.

I was there last year at the Sutton Forest Xmas Fair and I think it would lend itself to our purpose.

I agree - this should definitely be a family event. Not that my kids will be there...

I have created a map in Google that shows four drives between Moss Vale and the coast. I have also added in vineyards (although I wonder about a map that doesn't show any other landmark). Hopefully this map works.

I like the idea of a vineyard as somewhere to stop to eat, it offers a bit more seclusion than just turning up at the Robertson pie shop. But the food at Southern Highland Wines is a bit expensive - not an issue for me, but I'm sensitive that it could be for some people. Where we choose to eat will determine the structure of the day a bit - I was thinking we could start with a meet-and-greet over snacks, take our drive and then stop, eat and socialise at the end of the drive.

Looking at the map, I plan to drive a loop of Drives 1/2 and Drive 3 during the holidays to see what's there.
