    OK guys, as discussed in this thread http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322395 we will be running a cruise in Sydney on 3rd march, to coincide with efforts running in other states, to raise some money in support of Eric/a2zed. If you're unfamiliar with the difficulties he is now facing please have a good read through the thread linked above.

    Eric has always been available to lend his experience and expertise on the forum. Despite being a professional mechanic and small business owner he has never held back in sharing information without though of financial recompense. Now is the time for us to put in, and what better way than a cruise and a BBQ?

    Cruise Details

    The cruise is kicking off in Blues Point on the North side of the Harbour at 10am, Sunday 3rd March.

    From Blues Point we will head accross the Bridge and South to Bulli via the Princes Highway.

    From Bulli we'll turn North via the coast and the Sea Cliff Bridge and head up through the Royal National Park to Bundeena for a BBQ at the Bonnie Vale picnic ground. Bonnie Vale features parking, tables, and free gas BBQs. See map below for an outline of the cruise. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos etc along the way.

    Click here for a map of the cruise http://goo.gl/maps/dD2dy -I will look at having some professinally printed to offer in exchange for donations. Donations will be collected at Blues Point and Bonnie Vale, and every $$ raised will be put towards helping Eric and his family.

    Wooshka stickers such as those pictured below will also be available.

    There will be opportunities to pickup members along the way, most notably in Sutherland and Bulli. If you're not from Sydney but would like to meet along the way please let me know!

    BBQ Details

    As mentioned I have picked out Bonnie Vale due to the availability of free BBQs. I am hoping to raise some additional funds via selling sausage sangas and cans of drink. Is anyone able to help? Does anyone have access to wholesale pricing for sausages/onion/bread/cans?

    I could really use some help in this regard -for starters I don't eat meat so BBQ's aren't really my thing, and we're going to need to transport food/drinks/ice from Sydney. If you can lend a hand please let me know! Thx.

    Summary

    Date: Sunday 3rd March
    Meeting Point: Blues Point Reserve, North Sydney
    Meeting Time: Cruise departs 10am. Blues point is a great location for photos etc so you may wish to turn up earlier. I know I will.
    Destination: Bonnie Vale picnic area, Bundeena.
    Cruise Duration: 2 hours/125km

    Please note guys this is a fundraiser, so the more the merrier. I will be posting on SAU, please feel free to invite other friends etc but make sure they know that they will be expected to contribute some $$. Likewise if you're reposting on facebook or similar please make sure you are clear this is a fundraiser and a donation will be required should you wish to participate. Thanks for your understanding.

    I'll come meet up with you Rob, otherwise i've got no clue as to where i'm going. I'll sort out the sausages and what not Rob, might bring some other things down. Once we've got a confirmed amount of people i'll base the food quantity on that.

    Updates

    A couple of updates

    Southern Meeting Point for those wishing to join the cruise: Mikey has suggested we meet at a vehicle inspection area on the southbound side of the Princes Hwy just before Waterfall Station. The pic below shows this area in relation to the station.

    [​IMG]

    Assuming we leave Blues Point on time we should arrive at Waterfall at approximately 11:00am. Allowing for late arrivals/holdups along the way I suggest we aim to leave Waterfall by 11:30, so anyone aiming to meet us there should aim to arrive at 11:00 for an 11:30 departure. We probably don't need a half hour window but it allows some wriggle room should things not go to plan and let's face it, driving through Sydney on a Sunday morning there are PLENTY of opportunities for traffic etc to go against us...

    Details for BBQ/Picnic Venue: Information about Bonnie Vale can be found here http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkCamping.aspx?id=N0030#BonnieValecampground at the National Parks and Wildlife website. I expect we will arrive there between 12:45 and 1:00pm should anyone wish to meet there. Jamie is organising BBQ supplies. Instructions for getting there (copied from the link above) as follows:

    "Bonnie Vale campground is located on Sea Breeze Lane, Bundeena, in Royal National Park. On entering the park at Loftus, drive 25km from the entrance towards Bundeena. Travel along Bundeena Drive and turn left onto Sea Breeze Lane. For backpack campers it?s possible to take the ferry from Cronulla and arrive on foot via a 15 minute walk from Bundeena wharf"

    Please note those on the cruise will be taking a slightly different route as we will be entering via the south side of the park.


    Updated Map: I have updated the Google Maps plan to include the stop at Waterfall, updated map can be found here http://goo.gl/maps/QlJpL

    Donations: I will be collecting donations at the cruise, but for anyone who cannot attend but would still like to contribute, your (very much appreciated!) donations can be made either to the bank account or paypal address below

    Waiting for a new clutch booster and master cylinder. Also need's a new brake booster which I have but waiting for the other parts so I can install them all at the same time. I have the clutch booster disconnected and blocked off, but cant do that with the brake booster :eek:. It's sucking extra air through the boosters causing it to run very lean.
