Hey pipjones, refer to page one, there's a map of where we're meeting.

I may have the Hatch for this special day.

See you all there before 12:00.
I'll try to be there about 11:15-11:30.
I'll have some black ribbon for those who wish to put some on their aerials.

Cheers.

Hey Matty, do you have acess to a sticker maker at uni? I reckon you would seeing your doing that arty-farty graphics shit, maybe you could do a couple of stickers?

[knoath]

Like I said, I'll be aiming for 11:15.
Hope to see many members on Friday.

[MRLXSS]

i say we arrive at sandown at about 11.45 so we can get in the gates early and get good spots and not miss a thing! Once we are in we can chat all we want to each other!

Ill aim to get there about 11.15ish as well

[makka]

^ agree with you there Matty, I am going to leave Bendigo at around 8.30 so that I can get down with plenty of time to spare

[knoath]

Bugger me!
OK, Do we aim for before 11:00?

Doesn't worry me either way. I'm keen as mustard

[MRLXSS]

jeez! im not fussed either, i know there will be lots of really nice cars out, so ill stare at them all day!

Name a time and i am there

[LXCHEV]

Meet up at 11.00am sharp sounds good I reckon. That's when gates open, and that's 3 hours early....

For anyone out Ferntree Gully area, Deb and I will be at the Tim Neville Arboretum carpark (Frances Cres, just off Dorset Rd, Ferntree Gully), at 10:15am, and leaving there at 10:30am sharp, which will get us out there by 11am to meet up with the official GMH-Torana forum group. I have mentioned this meet-up to Eastside Cruisers, but no idea if many will be coming along from there or not... but either way I will be there should anyone choose to join the convoy.

We will try to find this service lane that you mentioned knoath, and will meet you there, hopefully 11.00am on the dot... We can hang around there for a while if it doesn't look like huge crowds that early, but if it does start getting busy already that early, then we best leave there and get our butts to Sandown.

Catch you all on Friday.

73lj202 - sounds good. The aim is to hit Burwood Hwy, veer off down Ferntree Gully Rd, left onto Stud Rd, right onto Wellington Rd..... so maybe you could be parked somewhere and join the convoy easily!

73LJ - The cruise is always the best part mate!

chevy - the actual service begins at 2pm.

Shevster - I think it will just be a matter of leaving the cars in the carpark dude... I can't see them letting cars into the grounds as such... but who knows.... we should call Sandown and find out....?

[MRLXSS]

either way i think there will be a shitload of amazing cars there! who knows, we might get let in because we appear to be in a club, or we may just have to park in the carpark... There will be police there so i doubt cars will be stolen etc


Ill be heading down via Wellington Rd i think, cant remember the best way to get to sandown in my car, will have to work it out tomorrrow haha. or just put mums Sat Nav in the torana for the day! haha

[knoath]

jpxu1, I'll be heading in from Craigieburn.
Leaving about 9:30 (gotta drop knoath jnrs off at Nan's in Heidelberg), then probably head off down Bell St and onto Eastern, to Springvale Rd down to Sandown.

Knoath, what the traffic like heading that way? how long would it take you?
I am just trying to decide what way I will come down, I like the idea of coming down the Hume at the moment, If I leave at 7.30 I should be at your place by 9.30 I would think

[knoath]

I'm allowing a good hour, so at that time of the morning I'd say I'll need it.
I don't think I'll have any trouble getting there by 11. (famous last words 'eh?)

You're welcome to follow, in fact that'd be cool if we meet up with jpxu1!

Cheers.
