mainly due to being moved because of vip's so we lost the rooms from previous year, the showers in some of the rooms we had were either for dwarfs or pressure was crap and the fact they thought we stayed 3 nights and charged peoples credit cards when we were 200 klm's away on the sunday night and this was after we checked out. Apart from that the so called great price that had been organised was more than what we were quoted when we booked too before the group price was arranged. Apart from that it was all good lol. The Hunter club does a great job and my thanks goes out to Graham who organised wheel alignments for us on the saturday.

See how we go. To early to tell yet, but I will make an effort this year. Might even have two Rana's by then. Yella has a tow bar now, not that it's fitted, but it's there. Covers, pffft, only in the shed.

Yella should have a different nose cone and front spoiler this year.

The majority of us will be staying at the usual place which for obvious 'insurance type' reasons we don't mention here for the public to read.

A bonus is we hire a security guard there to look after the beloved cars. :) Last year this was sponsored anyway.

Cheers
Herne

That's all right mate, I'll just bring up your twin brother with me, you know, the one I introduced to the Tassie Tourists onboard the Spirit of Tasmania ;) AND I think he is better lookin' than you :<_<:

Ya might be getting a phone call soon about the Riverina Torana Club's weekend at Bathurst in April, then again I might give Mick the wrong number :rolleyes:

Can't wait to Toranafest and the missus might be able to sew a W-I-D-E strip down each side of my safari suit :blush:

Regards .... Barry

If you turn up in the Hi-Lux, take a tent.
You're sleeping on the foreshore.

Keen as mustard to go to this, but uni is gonna be a problem!

Mello, if i end up driving something im sure there will be spare seats, just need to get to rocky.

considering a plane ride from you to here is probably as expensive as one to Newcastle probably not worth it.

Could do with extra drivers though. If i can get three or four guys all driving we'll do it in one stick....

Much as i would love to take the LJ if its still in one piece by that time, im not so sure.

Only vehicle i have that could tow it on a trailer that far is dads Patrol, and it gets about 5k's to the litre without a trailer behind it, thats 240lt of diesel EACH WAY.....

Commy is a reasonable idea, that would only chew about 100lt of petrol each way....

Hilux will either be owned by someone else or not registered by that time.

Cheers.
