MJH Posted 15, August 2012 Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 We seem to be gathering quite a few RS members from the Newcastle/Hunter area so I thought I'd start this thread to find out who's out there and keep track of everyone.

tension Posted 15, August 2012 Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 If you guys are looking for a reputable place to get your cars tuned there Mark from Streamline Automotive in Warners Bay is great and really knows his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve11 Posted 15, August 2012 Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 If you guys are looking for a reputable place to get your cars tuned there Mark from Streamline Automotive in Warners Bay is great and really knows his stuff. Marks a nice guy (known him for years) unfortunately he's also a Walkinshaw agent so you are confronted with a carpark full of those horrid HSV things whenever you go there.

MJH Posted 15, August 2012 Author Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 I've used the Hunter Viking guys so far and have been pleased with their professionalism and pricing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKRS250 Posted 15, August 2012 Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 Hi all, Another Steve here, another black rs250 (2012) I'm at coal point, I plan on using Simon at Autowerks in charmhaven, closer to my neck of the woods, nice bloke, Porsche specialist and local apr/ dms dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 15, August 2012 Report Share Posted 15, August 2012 I also use Hunter Viking and will be going in for the 40k service next month. When warranty expires I may go back to The European Car Centre at Maryland who cared for my Mini very well. I have no complaints with Viking at all and prefer them to any other dealer I've ever been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve11 Posted 16, August 2012 Report Share Posted 16, August 2012 I used Brian Hilton at the Central coast for 40k service last week as my car is still under warranty. Once out of warranty i'll be doing it myself & just getting the stealers to reset the service indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKRS250 Posted 17, August 2012 Report Share Posted 17, August 2012 Anyone on here own the lunar grey 250 trophee I've seen a few times in the wickham area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 17, August 2012 Report Share Posted 17, August 2012 I've reported seeing it about 4 times in the sightings discussion but no-one appears to show up here. There is a Liquid Yellow RS250 at Adamstown as well who doesn't comment on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJH Posted 17, August 2012 Author Report Share Posted 17, August 2012 I see the Lunar Grey one parked in Darby St all the time outside the woolshed apartments (at least I think that's what they're called - just up a bit from Howzat, heading towards the city). A lady that I work with and who lives up at the Bay also has a Lunar Grey one. She's actually got it for sale now on Carsales.com.au - it's only done 10000km, but she and her partner want to pay off their mortgage faster so she's looking to sell and buy something cheaper (but only if she gets the money she's after). I think the owner of the yellow one works somewhere around the Domayne store at Kotara - it seems to be parked there quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 19, August 2012 Report Share Posted 19, August 2012 I got some driving gloves from work on Saturday. We have them on sale for about $25.00. Plenty of stock if you want some. Very light and comfy with added grip on the wheel if you need to do a track day etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 20, August 2012 Report Share Posted 20, August 2012 I know a Guy who owns a Grey 250 around Newcastle. It might be him you guys are seeing. I've got some spies out to see where he has been parking lately. You might also see his car around Warners Bay from time to time, as I know he has business there.

whitbomb07 Posted 28, September 2012 Report Share Posted 28, September 2012 Scone has been on my to do list (for 5years now) and I'm yet to go north along the road out of Gloucester either...... Maybe do the Putty run on 19Oct and then head north some time in Nov? Regards Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 28, September 2012 Report Share Posted 28, September 2012 There are lots of nice towns up the New England Hwy and about that direction where we could have a lunch outing. I'm happy for the Putty run on the 19th still at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitbomb07 Posted 28, September 2012 Report Share Posted 28, September 2012 If we are restricted to weekends then 17-18Nov or 1-2Dec would be my next available dates to do the Northern run. Regards Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve11 Posted 3, November 2012 Report Share Posted 3, November 2012 Dropped in for a sticky at the Red bulls at McCarolls today (very nice indeed), there was a young couple who looked to be trying to decide between the 200 Red bull & the red 265 cup. Good to see the local ranks still expanding, treated them to some Akrapovic as i left to help them decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
