I'm not going to complain at all, only West Beach!
In the process of ordering some Raptor headers this week and getting a tune organised for after the headers are installed. Won't be done by Sunday that's for sure, but it will be on the way!

ah west beach is no fun, all the sand and crap just makes a mess of the car. Ah sounds like nice little project there, got anymore improvments on the exhaust? the 6 sounds so good with the headers

Not sure yet on any other mods......see how these go first. Don't really want to make the exhaust much louder, if at all, so might get slightly complicated. I don't know enough about it.
I might be happy enough with the tune and headers and leave it there for now?
And although the paintwork is pretty good, I want to get Hamish to work his magic on it before the end of the year too.

Basket Range - 9:30am - 14:00pm

Torrens - 9:00am - 13:30pm

Ashton - 9:30am - 14:00pm

What i had planned hit three of those roads during the closed times...

Are we a go or no go for Sunday? Sounds like Targa has all the fun roads :(

:( Maybe a more southbound route? Or alternate route with a stop to watch the Targa if someone knows a good spot?

Im not familar with any roads south of the freeway, do recall one night finding a good one out of harndorf going south tho, any suggestions from people?

Yeah that'd be good but once road closed can we get to a good vantage point for it?

I'm hoping this goes ahead. Even without a cruise a meet up would be good. I'm gonna go all out today to get my angel eyes done! :)

Do I know the south? Pfffft!
Hells yeah. I'd prefer the Gorge etc, as I don't know that nearly as well as my old stomping grounds, but this would be a great route.

That looks like a good drive, can get us to Crafers easily avoiding. Might steal it and use to tomorrow!

only one question, any good places to eat along it?

Hmmm, I haven't "eaten" at anything along that route in years.
That said Strath is fairly touristy these days. There's a few eaterys/cafe's and four pubs.
Used to be a great bakery accross the road from the main park with the pond, but wouldn't know if it's even still there, netherlone if it's anygood.

If you want a counter meal, my bro lives down near there, I'll text him for the best pub, and best bakery.
