Well Bomber the annoying and I hit the road today 600km down and more to come.
just so you all know I hate rap music and somehow bomber has confused ideas about what rap is, he talks about hip hop but the young lad clearly has no idea
we have just had a good dinner and enjoying a quite dink before sleepy times

I need ideas on deleting his ipod database

please save me from rap

Hi all

I thought that I would add our last update of how things are progressing here at Toranafest Headquarters!

To say that we have been busy is a mild understatement! It has been pretty much controlled caos for the past week or so.

Our numbers are now closed off until Sunday morning. We stand at 259 Entrants!!

For those coming to the weekned, here is a preview of what is happening...

The official Programme

The Auction list for the Sunday

And the merchandise list

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you over the course of the weekend and if you see the yellow 'Budgie flying around, that will be me..

cheers
Mick

For all the tyravellers to Toranafest hope you have an safe and fun trip to Newcastle.
For the guys that could not make it this year I am sure that there will be plenty of photos and stories that should keep all entertained for some time.

Hope to catch up for a Forum Picture during the course of the day.

Regards
Pete

Ensure that anyone travelling to Toranafest stops for any other wayward Torana travellers stopped by the roadside - you'd want them to stop for you

Safe trip all, and have fun. I'll be hosing the house out after DJ and Cruiza head off

Checking on or picking up stranded Torana travellers Pat. To me thats a given

Changing the subject:
Report from Danny, he was at Pheasants Nest at 10:15 am today. Should be close to Newcastle by now I guess.
We forgot to get the rear wheels balanced yesterday and it seems I threw some weights on the Wagga run, Danny will sort them out when he arrives at T/fest and get them balanced up there somewhere.

Hi Barry, not suggesting you are strange mate cos I already know YOU are lol

I am sure that with the wd40, elect connection kit, the jack placed appropriately and all that chocolate that you could revive and sustain any stranded fellow forum member lol

Have a great trip mate, I will miss you guys/ladies too. If poss please try and get a photo of Bev in MY car for me - I know she will be sitting in yours

Speaking of photo's I am already waiting to to see as many as possible to get my fix

Also please thank Liz and staff for me for the get well card.
Mate I loved getting that.

Keep an eye on Danny n Keith for me and be sure to place a plank between them when they share my double bed.....

Cheers
Al.

I didn't know Danny and Keith were like that!!!
