Day tripper
Well as you would all be well aware the Shelby Fest is this week end and if you are like me, then you would be very very jealous of all those guys who can find the time to get up to Winton for the whole weekend.
For all you guys who would love to be involved, but don't have the time, I will be running up to Winton on Saturday for the day. Anyone who wants to join me, I will be leaving from the Shell Servo on the corner of Williamsons Rd and Porter St in Templstowe at 0700, heading across the hills to Benella. I am planning to stop for breakfast on the way. I recon we will get to Winton about 0930 ready for the start of action and plenty of time to see cobra friends from all over country. Make you own way home when ever you need too, but having done it before it lots of fun and a great way to be involved. Let me know if you want to join this run. JB |
JB, I plan to drive up Saturday morning in my daily driver. Is a front wheel drive welcome to join the ranks?!
I thoroughly enjoyed looking on a few years ago and with my car approaching engineering this is just what I need to keep the momentum up. I'm also bringing a GoPro Hero HD camera with suction cup and rollbar mounts. Will be looking for someone to grab some footage. Safe travels to everyone and hope to see you there. Paul |
Front wheel drives must travel at the rear of the pack. I also not with interest that was your 1500th post......you must be congratulated I'm sure there must be a prize for that?**)**)**):confused:

Hi AC302 and others.
Yes - I am planning to go up just for Saturday too. I am a newbie (joined the club in January and working on the garage first before building my Cobra!). My plan was to ride my motorbike up, but if anyone is going in their Cobra and has a spare seat, I would LOVE to join them! In any case, I can meet at the servo in Templestowe at 7AM. Regards, Guy. |
Good work Guy,
Shelbyfest is a really relaxed event where you can get up close and have a good look. |
Jeremy I am heading up leaving Geelong at 0700. May see you on the way. Will talk on the mobile on Saturday. bernie

Weather is looking OK, morning shower or 2 then fine and 23c. That is fantastic Cobra driving tempreture. We have a few starters, so should be a fun trip up.
Look forward to seeing you all bright and early in the morning. |

Forecast for Saturday Sunny. Winds southerly averaging 15 to 25 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to around 8 with daytime temperatures reaching the low 20s. Bendigo Sunny. Min 8 Max 20 Shepparton Sunny. Min 8 Max 21 Echuca Sunny. Min 8 Max 21 |
I should be on the Hume Freeway at 0800 will stop at about 0830 at the Mobil up past Craigieburn for breaky...

Mmmmm missed my prize for the 13,000 post. Easy to get that number if you rate photos whilst sitting in an airport lounge going through members galleries. Think I have only posted about 1000 actual word posts though. :eek:
The forecast is ideal - similar to the others with Wangarratta and Benalla also 8 with a high of 23 c.. :MECOOL: |
Weather update: now only a possibility of a morning shower, no wet protection required.
looking fine for a good run....... |
Very excited. So, no rain gear but I think I will bring a scarf and beanie!
|
You got a ride yet??...If so an earplug for your left ear!!!!:D
|
JB,
I'm hoping to catch up at 0700 & join you in the morning on the way upto Winton - we spoke about it at the last Cobra Club catch-up -I'll have my young fella with me so no spare seat unfortunately Steve |
@OZCOBRA - yes AC302 let me ride shotgun today!
@AC302 - thank you VERY MUCH for the ride today. As you observed, I WAS just like a kid in a candy shop! And good to meet you too Steve & Lucas, Rodney, Andrew & Michelle, Dale. I am posting up some photos soon - check a new thread for photos. |
Any failures ?? Was going to make a call and see if anyone needed to be trailered Home to Melb!!
|
No major failures I was aware of. The orange Cobra hit the wall apparently in practice Friday, but 100-mph tape fixed that. There were one or two others sidelined (the Soliver on Silver Cobra) but I think they have trailers already.
Sorry - don't know who's car is who's yet.... |
