Toyotafest 2010 - Epic Road Trip

[CLG]

that pseudo-gay, quazi-intellectual dude Clinty... is he coming over also? He's a good value person.

Yep, I have plans to be there again this year. Personally, While I'd happily do the "big drive", I'm not prepared to cram it into the time frame JCMO and Peewee are proposing, added to the fact, I have not had the time to touch any of my good Toyotas to a presentable standard since I rebuilt my ST205 for the 2007 Toyfest, so the likelyhood of my bringing a car for this year's event would be less than 10%.

That said, I am happy to co drive with anyone if they need a partner in crime, for a more direct route (ie anything involving a Perth-Sydney-Perth route, either with or without freight in one direction).

Regarding the time spent in Sydney for Toyfest, as for previous years I will again look into group bookings for accom. This offer is open to anyone that can make up the numbers - I know we've previously had people from Victoria and country NSW join us for what winds up being very cheap accom in inner Sydney with undercover security parking also included for those of you bringing cars. I'll PM Nathan some details to add to the first post regarding this offer, and for those of you interested, please PM me so I can start the framework?!

Sounds good Clint, was going to speak to ya about accommodation. You back in Perth for a bit?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a show of hands of those interested in coming on the trip. It's getting to that time when I need to start organising transport and accommodation etc.

Can you please let me know where you're planning on joining the convoy and for how long? I particularly need to know those people who are leaving from Perth and want transport to Radelaide. Would be cool if I could also get a show of hands who're planning to do the shorter trip direct Perth to Sydney.

Cheers,
Nathan

I got a quick quote for transport PER-ADL with movingcars.com.au - $400
So that will be the upper end of the scale.
Flights will be between $150 and $200 per person.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

From where to where dude? RADelaide to Sydney?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

So you're looking to ship car to RADelaide and drive from there to Tassie? Are you able to PM me your details, i.e. what car, how many people etc?

Cheers,
Nathan

Last shout out for people wanting to come on ze road trip, because I'm going to start organising accommodation shortly.

[feral4mr2]

i'm still trying to organise a engine for my bus, i plan to be at the event, but not 100% sure which way i will be getting there yet.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Hi all, it's getting close to crunch time. I need definites as to who is coming to Tassie with us, so I can organise the ferry ride. If you could all get back to me by later today that'd be good, e-mail is fine if you want. After tomorrow morning, if you want to come on that section, you'll have to organise it yourself.

So far I have confirmed:
Peewee + car
Krystle
Chris
Nathan + car
Cozzy + car
