:-p Google says it should take about 5:44, I left at 4 and got home at around 7:30....

Aurion's pretty good and the brakes worked very well, the new pads does take alot of beating...

Enjoy the car, enjoy the road - does there need to be a point?

This is code for "I am a drug mule" :) if you notice... he also went through some national park, where a corpse was buried in a shallow grave. :P

HA!

The only down side were three or four guys towing trailers. Totally not suitable for that road but they didn't have the decency to pull aside (when there was opportunity) and let you through. Bumbling along at 40km/h when the speed limit was a 100.

One car ahead of me tried to overtake one of these and the guy towing simply edged into the middle effectively stopping the overtake and at the same time making it dangerous for everyone behind.

No.

But it seems odd to create a thread about it.

Ah well, not many threads about people actually driving their Aurion's as opposed to people just fitting bits...

Thats a long drive

If you think that's long, try combining it with a there-and-back trip from Newcastle......Newcastle-Glebe-Berowra-Wollombi-Broke-Putty-Windsor-Castle Hill-Newcastle, with only one driver.....man that was long day, but an awesome cruise.

Went in a group or alone?

I rarely get to take long drives anymore now with kids and wife. I joined a couple of cruises before but found that abit difficult as people tended to have different agenda's during drives, so now when I get the chance, its usually impromptu and alone.

This is an awesome cruise if you have a few cars tagging along....

Would have been about a dozen of us that made the full loop 2 years ago (maybe 20-odd that made it as far as Wollombi for lunch), I bailed at Broke last year since we stopped at the village fair/classic car show for a while and the day would have been too long if I'd done the full loop.

No reason is needed.

We had a big cruise on Sunday; went for a cruise, 9am to 6pm round trip just to go to a bakery (and though some other towns). :D

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.
