ToyotaFest 2006 - The Roadtrip

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Rooms at Madura and Ceduna are booked. I'm booking Warrnambool now, everywhere else we can just pull up a floor.

Two questions:
-Is it just Big Perm coming from Adelaide?
-Are we all okay with this? http://www.oceanroadaccommodation.co...01/bf0001.html

So people still hanging out at Dave's on Wednesday night?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Fo shizzle ma nizzle. Are you supplying the meat for the BBQ? Just kidding, let us know if you want us to stop in and pick something up.

I'm there Dave baby! If the turn out wains, Chapel St, South Yarra was good for a laugh last I recall - watching VL turbos cruise in a traffic jamb, and the antics they get up too while sitting there!

Matt, these Perthers are arriving in SA on the 25th & we're leaving the 26th, headed for Warrnambool.

TTMX83, I have no idea where we're staying in Warrnambool, last I heard JCMF was sorting out a motel for us all there. Dunno where it'll be, & I don't know what time we're arriving, I'm sure we'd be up for dinner somewhere + an ale or two.

Cheers, I'm sure we can sort out some dinner + beverages. I'll PM you my mobile.

Cheers Brad.

You should come over tomorrow and fix it then.

Nope.

I hpe you guys remember to bring a change of underwear, the Adelaide Hills (Loebethal Rd in particular) are good fun during the day, but are pretty bloody terrifying at night! I just got home from a bit of a run up there & it was my first night time run. It might have had something to do with the boaty nature of the car I was in, and the appalling throttle response of a 2800rpm stall convertor, but I reckon it mostly comes down to the corners that get tighter & tighter & tighter and then switch back the other direction before you have a chance to crap your pants, or the blind hairpins atop a 50m+ drop, or the blanket of sticks/leaves/rocks/general loose crap littering much of the road.

The views are tops at night though, and at least you can't see the 30-40-50m drops on the sides of the road. And even though armco is known to let the occasional car through, it's alot more reassuring than nothing at all.

BTW, is everyone bringing CBs???
