A friendly reminder folks

Fares should be fully paid up by

July 25

That's THIS Saturday peoples.

At this stage White Knight (Keith) and myself are still looking for a third person to share our room.
We have space in the cars for another person if that helps.

Here is a photo of another nice car that will be seen on this run with us.

Hi guys

Please note Keith (bless his heart) has concentrated on the wiring/electrical side of things.. It is the plan that each car carries some sort of spares different to everyone else. This way we can support each other as a group should something go wrong!

Not sure who is coordinating a list or even if a list exists but I know its something Gary desires ie that we all carry something different.

Cheers
Herne

This is an invitation for you to all follow suit and post up your car you will be taking to Tassie.
I would put up the photo's for you but I am not sure that I have photo's of your car!

Go for it guys.

G'day All Tassie Torana Tourists

Been on the blower to the Fishermans Bend Holden Plant about arrangements for when we get off the Spirit of Tasmania on our way home.

BBQ out front of the Concept Car Showrooms may or may not be on as this depends on Holden Corporate Support and as told to me, there are a few things going on around that time and we may not get the nod.

I will find out last week in September about that and there is news on the "Hurricane" Torana based concept car.

It is in pieces :cry:

and is being rebuilt and MAY be ready for when we get back.
Then depending on who wants what car for display purposes whether it will be available in the Concept Show Room at Fishermans Bend. :blink:

More news on the above towards the end of September.

Regards ............... Barry

Look forward to seeing you guys down here! I have been following the thread both here and on tastoranaowners - may well come and say g'day at some point. Unfortunately my car still won't be drivable or I'd love to bring it for a blat round Symmons with all the other torries, but it will be a good spectacle to watch anyway.

Hi Folx...

A quick word from Gary.
All the reservations and contacts for the Tassie tour have been reconfirmed. Gary spent last week phoning around to double check.

Symmonds Plains (spelling?) has been confirmed!

A little over 3 weeks to go

How exciting is that...

Looking forward to meeting you and the all Tassie crew Rana Girl

Thanks for the spelling, I did check the net (google) and found it as Symmonds and Symmons so until now I remained confused
