So it's raining there now, BIGRR?
Who makes the decision as to cancel or not. Might be a good idea.
 
I doubt the clubs will cancel!

Will blow over (?). Have a look at BOM radar for Sydney. :)

There is a dry patch on my driveway!!

I am on my way, leaving now. (Where are my glasses?)

ph. 0407 007 780
 
What a great day! Minor moisture discomfort early, then the sun came out. I think I counted 10 205's? Some original, some not but all great examples of the marque. Well done to all that attended. Did anyone take any pictures? As usual, I completely forgot such things. Coffee was good though.
 
Total count 12 205s at the same place on the same day. (Not all at the same time however).

Red ones , white ones (One with green stripes),lots of green ones, a blue and a couple of greeny bluey ones.

1.6ls, lots of 1.9ls and at least four 2.0ls (That would admit to it anyway).

Great turn out!!

This must now be a record turn up for 205s! :banana:


Like PeterT I also forgot my camera! (will post a few (not very good) phones shots later).
 
mmmm no one with a standard xu10j4rs mod, need to see how the aux belt doesn't cut into the lower rad hose? Will add one next year!

Nice to see them all, some very keen work has been done in some of those there!
 
well done, puts VIC to shame. Engine bay porn!

Do you mean something like this steel sleeve? (XU10J4r with air/con)

Been like this going on 10 years (Time flys!) 70k km and belt only replaced once. (And yes 205 cops a flogging) :)
 
I certainly do and this did cross my mind! Wonderful, and mine will get a push along as well from time to time just like the old 1.9 did.

I am impresed how on earth did you get this view of it? Nearly not enough in the way like, wheel well etc

I saw many taking photos of the 205s on Sunday.

Would be great for the cause if some, any, all, could be downloaded here. :) :headbang:


Thanks to all that went to the trouble of bring their cars to the 205 Raid from far and wide.


Should we see if we can beat 12 next year?

We will beat 12 next year no doubt!

Can we do an Australia wide call out? I would be mlre than happy to host/help anyone who would be keen to attend from out of state etc. maybe we could even have a track day the day before/after?

Lets get keen!

How much to hire out Wakefield Park for the day for french cars?...
 
Eastern Creek DRAGS the Wednesday night after may attract more. (A bit cheaper and safer.) :)

I am sure we could arrange some billeting.

I just emailed WP to ask about a private track day. Will get back with what they say.

BIGRR - life is better with corners... 😉

All things going well I will take you up on this! My 205 will have parts from everywhere after the magic thief and lier had his hands on it he stole things that have proven irreplaceable. the kindness here more than made up for it. his son no doubt has my things in his car.
 
At this stage I am going to book holidays for next year and make the pilgrimage down, might try and enjoy a few corners on the way!

Sponge on my son who is in the navy and should be based there by then. Revenge is sweet.
