2008 Picnic at Hanging Rock Car Meet

[-NiCkeL-]

Yep, Shoppingtown sounds good.

Anyone else interested in meeting there first?

i was going to tow the 23 to hanging rock as it as a real shit to drive withe thr CIG locker
and it still has all the numbers etc on it
my tow car got totalled last wed
the assesor is looking at it today, i am still sore and bruises are starting to appear
thats another reason that i wont drive the 23 as i feel every bump as it is, let alone with a dodgy neck etc i will know more after today

Shit, sorry to hear ian, good too hear there's no major injuries tho.

Can i make a suggestion? There's a new BP servo with fast food just past Calder Park racetrack. We should meet up there so the early-birds can grab some breakfast. I believe the mini club will be meeting there. Thought it'd be a better idea than the gravel Calder carpark.

We were tossing around a few ideas about a meeting spot but decided on Calder as it's easy to find and we know we'll be easy to see.

We'll make sure we cruise up there to grab some $4.99 egg and bacon breaky though before we cruise if it suits..

I'm heading up through Bacchus Marsh and Gisbourne as Calder Park is a long way out of my way. The A/C is being serviced and gaseed today so hopefully we will be travelling in Air Con comfort.

The BP i am talking about is next door to Calder Park Raceway... it's probably easier to find than the carpark since it's big and green. Doesn't matter, it was just a suggestion.

Lucky bastard... I'm bringing the mini so i'll be travelling in maximum discomfort. :S

[joey]

What time do you want to meat up at shoppo uleh?

That's partly why I'm not bringing the Moke this year. For some reason Hanging Rock is usually a scorcher of a day. The Moke's no fun with the top up and you slow-cook with the top down.

I live in Essendon just down the road from Calder Park. So I will be there with plenty of time to spare.

[Crazy]

What time at Shoppingtown? The pub opposite might be a better car park to meet in due to the renos at the shopping centre!

[Silly Rabbit]

...yeah I am up for the meeting at shoppo...(only 5 mins from my place ).......so are we gonna say 7.15 shoppo??.......gives us a good hour to swing round the ring road and out to Calder........I've now got a friend bringing his 240z so the more the merrier.........i still reckon we should do the front carpark at shoppo....everyone knows exactly where that is.........as for meeting at Calder or the BP........BP i reckon cos i need my morning iced coffee and whatever else trash food i can lay my hands on

[joey]

7:15 sounds good to me, there's still plenty of open carpark at the front of shoppingtown that isnt effected by the construction so it shoulb be easily visible. The BP jobbie sounds a bit better but the availability of car spots might be a worry if the mini club is meeting there aswell

[Crazy]

I reckon those that want to can go to the BP and just keep an eye out for the convoy to go past.There'll be plenty of time to catch up on the way.It's pretty straight forward, depart calder park / BP 8.30 sharp!!
