Would anyone like top join me in a few3 weeks time. I am rebuilding the bottom and top half of my engine this week and was thinking one all finished i would love to go to the black spur for the day and just drive up there have lunch in the alfas.... would any1 care to join and maybe make a day out of it?
It is always good to take the car for a run. The more opportunities the merrier. Take some pics to post if you can. The club has not been to the Black Spur for about 2 years.
Some details:
- Later in Jan we will have a great Early Morning Run from Mordialloc to Mirboo North (via Loch) so that cover the east.
In Feb we have another EMR to the Hills.This will be a family Picnic probably north.
Of course we have the March overnight Tour to Lorne (via Sorrento).
Mid year these will be a winery cruise to Macedon ranges.
Regards
Make sure you cut across to Toolangi from Healesville as well. There are some magic roads up near the spur that are also less 'trafficked'.
A good spot to stop for lunch is at the Giant Steps in Healesville, which is part of the Innocent Bystander cellar door I believe. They make killer thin-based pizza there.
haha cant wait.. my nonna and nonno live in healesville. . lovely area .. soo guys if u want let me know how many want to do it. and i suppose we can work out a date and a meeting place.
Can i suggest a stop at Rayners Orchard ( http://www.raynerstonefruit.com.au/sales.cafe.php ) at Woori Yallock maybe for morning tea? Robyn and i stumbled on upon it last week end. Really is a nice venue for a cuppa. Then it's a short spurt up Don Rd to Healsville.
i cant wait honestly:) . .. Well lets set on a prefered day before the date... how does a sunday sound guys? then we can work out how far away we want it.
i'm down. If we can get at least a weeks notice I should be able to get work off. Otherwise I'll work around it. I've been wanting to go here for years but have never had anyone to go with. make it happen!
Count me in ! Preferably a Sunday.
Hey Turboalfa, I might be in for this...also post it on ausalfa.com cause I reckon you'll get some interest there.
Count me in!
Count me in too, a Sunday is best for me also.
If it's on a Sunday, count me in too.
dont worry guys ill let you know when . if someone wants to throw a few dates at me feel welcome to . and has to be on a sunday for myself as well. as i work monday to saturday each week. lol u gotta hate sales sometimes! hahah
Btw david. all is installed . and i brought my crank into Crank rebuilders in black burn and they told me $$1000 !! :o :o to repair it.. rip offf . so im gonna buy a second hand engine and use that.
i believe this thread requires a BUMP
Hi there AlfaAlfa.
I thought that the trip discussed on our forum had already been run by those Vic Alfisti concerned. I only say that as the club is organising the same one and we do try and balance things out here.
If not just to let you know, the Club now has on it's calendar - late May, a date set for a run from the usual Whitehorse Road via Kangaroo Ground, Yarra Glen, Healesville, Marysville for morning tea and finish at Warburton and for a set lunch & drinks. We do this run every 2 years or so and it's very popular.
If you can wait for May when all Alfesta events have been & gone, then all club members and visitors are welcome. As a club register event (non sprting so a social activity) insurance is now all sorted out and any visitor is welcome and will become a 'day member'.
Cheers.
oh ok i didn't know that.
I love that drive! I used to go and do that on my own when I first got the car. It's my favourite drive so far.
Fantastic, I can def wait till then, and hopefully by then I'll have sorted out my shocks and brakes.
LMAO your right .. although i will organise the whole day soon .. just replacing all bearing caps in my bottom end haha as i had a few problems after the rebuild:)

This trip runs through the black spur ;) Having said that, it's the roads out of Marysville that are the really fun ones.
Get those cars ready!
It's the 23rd Mick. Week before
The 23rd, that means i should be able to come. Fantastico!
can't wait. did a very similar run with the ausalfa.com boys a few weeks ago. should be good!
This run will be in conjunction with the Fiat car Club so should get a good turnout. Lunch facilities are not too bad either.
Cheers.
I might be able to make it, hope so, been a while since I had a decent drive through the twisties.
There will be a prize for the best presented (experior only) 160 Series car - that is as per our Register: 75, 90 & 164.
Cheers.
