Toyota Fest 2007 - WA Thread

[CLG]

Getting in early with thoughts about attending again this year. Those of you who attended last year will all agree, it was a fantastic week, and I'm sure most of you enjoyed the lead up and return from the event too. So, in short (for now), who has an interest in attending this year's event, whether that means driving a vehicle over, flying over to attend, or teleporting?

[_ShadowZ]

what? where? when? why? how?

Teleporting. Can you teach me to do that? would really help in getting to work with out spending 2 hours on a plane with the same room inside as a starlet.

for those who haven't attended previously what's the deal?

[CLG]

Blingage car show, Sydney, usually NSW October long weekend (Sept 29-Oct 1st this year), slut yourself on the street corner for money to attend.

Yep, stand still while I static fuzz you out!

[hamgatan]

whilst id probably have the 1J in by then, im not sure 3 months more is enough time to nut out any bugs with it taking it across..

however that said, two JZZ20's going east would be the shit wouldnt it john... *nudge*

[CrUZida]

FWIW Nathan and I will be doing a massive journey for ToyNats 2009.

Probably starting in Tassie, do some touring there, making our way to Dubbo, and ending up somewhere in QLD.
Then possibly doing the trip home via Darwin and the NorthWest.

Something to start budgeting for, coz its not going to be a cheap trip.

[Classique71]

Ill be there again , providing i can swing funds and time off , for an international journey ..

No car to take this year im afraid unless dad lets me steal his supra for a very very long drive ! ( unlikely ! )

happy to help set stuff up again if needed , if im there !

I'm still keen to bash across the Nullarbor Peewee, there is something epic about doing that trip

[CrUZida]

Nullabor trip, nah.
Done it once, won't be doing it again for a while.
If there was something to see, sure, no problems.
But there is nothing. Anything worth seeing we saw on the last journey.
Alice springs would be nice, but its a 2000km round trip.

So I'll be shipping the car somewhere this time.
Sure, its gonna cost more, but meh.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

There was something cool about rocking up in Adelaide after that trip, or rocking up in Ceduna after hours of nothing

At the least, we should just ship them to Adelaide, that way we can catch up with everyone there and pick up any tagalongs, then bust it down to the GOR again, from there to Melbourne, then across on the Spirit to Devonport.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

And when we get back to Melbourne, we should take our time and cross the Snowy's into Canberra so we see something different.

[CrUZida]

Adelaide would be fine by me.
We should inquire about shipping (ie, on a boat).
Might be cheaper than road transport.

So we'll make it a 4 week trip shall we?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Nah, 4 weeks is probably too long, 3 weeks would be fine. I can do without my car for a day or so when I get back.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I'll have a work through the dates, and i'll post them up in a new thread.

its called realising Salisbury was behind you and you could move on in peace...

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Bahahaha. More the civilisation after lots of nothing....well, by Adelaide standards anyway
