Looking good for any of the last three weekends in August.

That's of course if the Treggers are happy to have a Disco along.

Cheers

Bob

 

Good stuff Bob.....will take any opportunity to lure you back to a Touareg
look forward to catching up

 

Hi Singh,

Received your message. The Touareg hasn't seen many kilometers in the past year. I am in. Looking forward to it. I only have one weekend that might be an issue and that is the weekend of the 13th August.

good stuff Frank....how about either saturday or sunday ...weekend of 20/21st august.

 

Hi Singh,
Sounds good I,m coming, might finally have my new snorkle installed by then :dance:

 

great to know Sumar....look forward to seeing the contraption mate!

 

how about an FJ?

 

As long as you can keep up with us or we with you no obiection on my behalf

 

If I have my new model by then I will be up for a GTG, will be interesting to see how it goes off road.

 

Vow! pretty quick...we might have two of the new shiny ones then!

Flipper

The deployments must be still kind to you with all the cash to splash about. Good stuff.

We look forward to seeing you put your first scratches on it. Sunny Corner was where i popped the Disco's cherry

Cheers

Bob

 

28/8 would be perfect, but I could also make the two weekends prior to that. Sounds great. Quite excited to see the new TREG in action! Also like the Sunny Creek Corner. Great idea Singh.

Cheers
Sascha

 

20/21 august is good

 

A Saturday works best for me, but the 28th is my better option if you are doing Sundays.
Can't make the 20-21st.
Ship has just docked in Melbourne to unload the new beast so 13-14th or 27-28th will work for me.

Any indication from Volkswagen what model they intend to bring? And will an Amarok be coming as a support vehicle

 

I'd love to come, we are expecting our first child on the 29th of august so may be a little hard... i'll play it by ear

 

My wife is a Midwife.......she reckons you can do a lot with a bucket, gaffa tape and some imagination. Just my humour. I can remember all 3 of my mutts (er, kids) being born....never miss it.

 

will confirm the final date shortly, so far the aim is either of the last two weekends in Aug....would be good to have you there tsouga....and ofcourse your new pride and joy Flipper Dog

 

G'day
20/21 is out for us...
Regards
kevin

 

Very keen! Will be landing in Sydney from NZ sat 20th, so sunday or the next weekend would be good. My tyres are highway and fairly worn. Keen to see what the car can do, esp since I got home on sat night from 3 weeks away at Cape York with my son in his nissan. That is to say my car stayed home and every creek we came across I was checking to see if I would have been willing to take the touareg through.
Neil

 

great stuff, more the merrier ofcourse.
At this stage this is definitely happening, and it appears VW will bring two new Touaregs inc a 4XMotion variant.
As much I'd like to have a date which suits everyone I'm at the mercy of VW and when they can have the vehicles available, considering its early in their launch and they are inundated with obligations.
We are still aiming for either of the last two weekends, preferably a saturday.

We'll meet up at Little Hartley early in the morning so we can catchup and ogle at the cars before taking the road to Sunny Corner and finish up at Capertee as usual. days are getting longer again but will still aim to wrap up the day by 5ish.

For anyone new this track is safe(with disclaimer ofcourse) with some good ascents/decents and small water crossings. It requires low range but Neil has proven that a Q5 can manage it with some careful driving and push of the pedal!

See you all soon!

 

okay VW we have final confirmation; it would have to be Saturday 20th of August and they will bring two new 2011 Touaregs.
Similar to other times we'll meet at Hartley Valley Tea House (Great Western Hghwy/5 Baaners Ln, Little Hartley NSW 2790 0263552048) at 9am.
This will give us about an hour to have breakfast/coffee, check out the new Touaregs
and then set off on our way off road. (Plenty of time enroute to take pics and check out
the new Touaregs and its strengths on & off road.
Pls bring some tucker as lunch(picnic) will be halfway between Sunny Corner & Capertee.

Here's a copy of some details from the previous post:
Here's the 'fast facts'*:
Where: Sunny Corner to Capertree
When: Sunday, 9am @ Hartley
Start distance from sydney: 170kms (west)
Trek Distance: 45kms
Finish at Capertree & drive back to Lithgow approx 50mins
Standard: medium...quite safe but plenty of hair raising moments with heartbeats over 150! Low range required, Steep ascents/descents & small creek crossings.
Fuel n supplies: Lithgow & Capertree.
Weather: Temp was between 2 to 10 degrees around the area.

See ya all soon!

good to know Markus!...do you have that hole in your bonnet yet?

 

The hole, yes, but was not happy with the finish of the pipe so back it went, frustrating!!

Bails, its saturday 20th of august. look forward to catching up!

Singh

sounds good Bob!

 

Hmm. I dunno if I'll make it. I think that our flight lands in Sydney at around 9am. Might be a bit of a push. Start without me!
