Another day, another few hours of uninhabited twisties. Today we planned to drive to Cradle Mountain, via the longest, least straight route we could manage. We fueled up again at the BP on the east side of Devonport, knowing it stocked 98RON, before heading south towards Elizabethtown via some very […]
Day 2 – First Day in Tasmania: North East Loop We arrived as the sun was rising, got the on-board call to head to our vehicles and began unloading. First stop was a quarantine check and then to search for some 98 RON. We weren’t spoiled for choice on a […]
A Tasmanian road trip had been on the cards for a while, but we finally put our proverbials into gear in early 2011 and worked out how to make it happen. Due to various personal commitments, the middle week of May was the only chance we had for all to […]
We’d been planning a drive out west for a few weeks, when one of the AF members suggested we extend the invite outside the AF crew. A few local Sydneysiders we’d become friendly with through social media had expressed interest in joining us for a drive, so we set a […]
The Renaultsport Megane RS 275 Trophy-R is the current FWD king of the ‘ring (though arguable against the new Civic Type R, but you can’t buy those in Aus) and in this particular colour scheme has the whoa to match the go. My silver Clio 172 is 15 years old […]

With five months between drinks, the Sydney OzRenaultsport contingent were eagre for a social drive day and a huge number signed up online to take part. I met with the inner west crew at the usual meeting spot, before making tracks for the official meet up at the Loftus Oval […]
On Sunday 23rd Feb, members of the OzRenaultsport community gathered in a deserted car park in Windsor, for an early morning drive up Putty Road. A group of us that live closer to the city met in Rozelle and set out for Windsor as the sun was rising. I was […]
An OzRenaultsport forum event was long overdue, so I put the word our for a drive and dinner event, starting at Olympic Park, Homebush and winding up at Newport on the Northern Beaches for pizza. Around 15 cars assembled on Olympic Boulevard, ready for the cruise up to Terry Hills […]
Here at AF, we love stone chips. They’re a sign of proper use; a badge of honour. But there’s still something about a clean car that grabs our attention. It doesn’t have to be concourse standard but giving the old girl a good scrub (using modern, swirl-minimising techniques) lets you […]
