All welcome to attend and join in a great cruise to Singleton.

Costs Lunch at the Royal Hotel Singleton Fuel approx 400klms Notes Please be at the meeting point on time as we will be trying to leave at 10:00am sharp. Bring this sheet along with you on the day as it may help if you get lost or left behind somehow. When you arrive at the meeting place make sure your car is full of petrol so you do not have to stop mid cruise. Please note after Windsor there is no reliable petrol until Singleton. If we can all drive with our lights on, as it is easier to see each other. (also looks as if were all part of a cruise, or a funeral, but hopefully a cruise) If you have CB radios bring them along (and batteries), constant shyte on two way... Channel 14. It will be ON, rain / hail or shine. Any additional info or questions Pm Myself.

Doubtfull many Eurofords will attend as Fuel tank and that many KM isnt good for SPirited driving. and not manyw ill want to take the risk.
If we drive conservatively then hell yer.. but as its a cruise.. it will be spirited... and i doubt many will come.

This is a cruise. There is no shenanigans.... Plenty of fuel in Singleton to fuel up too.
Keep in mind there is road house halfway, you can turn around and head home, halving the trip. It's great drive, and no one comes back unhappy.... Cheers

My RS2000 doesn't get 400km out of tank, but then again, its tank isn't even 40L.
I'm unavailable to come but appreciate the invite, thanks. Timmeh |

I've done Sydney->Windsor->Singleton->Sydney (via Old Pacific Highway) with some very spirited driving and still managed to get something like 6.2L/100km. ~480km driving (mix of outer suburban, twisty roads and highway/freeway) and used 30L. Was very surprised with the Fiesta's fuel economy through the twisties, it's on par with the city economy.
I won't be able to make it either.
