Just letting you guys know, it looks like Andrew will be meeting me at Kempsey at around 8am, we will be heading through some backroads into Wauchope and heading to Tamworth that way, if anyone wants to come down via the coast with us it would mean leaving Brisbane around 1:30-2am, to give you QLDers some idea.

[1JZ~lux]

Add me to your list Wilbo666. I'm going down to Toynats as well now.

[Norbie]

I'm in, and yes I'm taking the V12 lounge chair. I vote a decent rest stop half way to get an hour ot two of sleep, I actually fell asleep at the wheel last year which is something I don't want to do again.

[Andrew162]

w00t! be great to see the V12 boat in the flesh. also to avoid sleeping at the wheel, isn't there a Shiatsu-massage function in the driver's seatback?

[thechuckster]

why not have 2 stops for the slep challenged? Goondiwindi and Narrabri?


norbie: when did you nod off? before Moree or other?

[brett_celicacoupe]

Twas just before Dubbo.

[thechuckster]

Twas just before Dubbo.

ouch - having a prang on the home stretch would have sucked big time.



btw: are you going to chop off a finger, wear tight black suits and generally look menacing ... to go with the whole yakuza staff car thing?

[Norbie]

Nah, I'll be too busy popping a cap in yo ass.

I drove from Dubbo to Brisbane yesterday, took me just over 9 hrs and I stopped 3 times for around 10 - 15 mins each. Was quite a good run from Dubbo to the QLD border, then the road was terrible for a hundred or so k's.

I am keen to go to this too so add me to the maybe list, I just have to convince someone to come with me, don't want to drive by myself all that way. All my friends are Holden/Ford bogans !!! why!?!!?!

[Andrew162]

All my friends are Holden/Ford bogans !!! why!?!!?!

to make you appreciate your Toyota more.

Unfortunately I have a skyline nut driving down with me.
I still got to work out where I'm going to meet you guys. I work at Amberley but I'll have to pick up my mate from somewhere.
