Combined States Snowy Cruise 2019 - November 22-24

[El Andrew]

Haha good work! I should probably clean and oil my filter too.

This time last year we were driving in 4 degrees!

I did an oil change, flushed the coolant, decommissioned the ZF heat exchanger, fitted braided brake lines, flushed the brake fluid, fitted a dash cam. Just need to wash it now!

Yep, weather is looking considerably better than last year, as evidenced by these couple of posts of mine

This weather is looking like possibly the warmest I’ve ever seen and I’ve been going since 2012!

I won’t be able to do Omeo on the Monday this year, ill have to head back to Sydney on the Sunday afternoon, started a new job recently and I think I’d be pushing my luck if I asked for time off after five weeks [emoji23]

[k31th]

can't hurt to ask you can tell them you do this every year

[EvilDaifu]

I was wondering who will be going onto Omeo this year?  I've reserved the Golden Age Hotel.  I think its @YLD127 and I at the moment?

 

@civillian how's it looking for you 3 days out from heading off?

@EvilDaifu Still waiting... it will be a close call.

 

How about these temperatures???

[EvilDaifu]

Yeah 39 deg C on my dash temp readout today in Melbourne.  I think it will get cooler on the weekend.

[EvilDaifu]

Gonna start packing today and wash the car. 

 

Pookey all packed.  We should do a Tumut train station photo opp with him before we leave Sat morning.  He won't get in until way late due to Sydney peak hour traffic so just us for dinner.  If the lighting is good I wouldn't mind doing a photo opp by the train station Fri afternoon before we head out to dinner as well.  Not sure if there is something else scenic there we can do a photo opp by (suggestions from those who know Tumut welcomed).

 

I'll bring an esky but I guess play it by ear on Sat - hopefully no Total Fire Ban on Sat for our BBQ.

 

[PookeyMaster]

I think the BBQ we normally use is electric? If so we should be good to use it, I’m pretty sure electric BBQ’s are exempted from the fire ban cause they don’t use flammable fuel.
