picnic at hanging rock feb 210

the BP seems to be the most popular
as they have coffee, witch helps in the final process of waking up
i plan on getting to eltham maccas about 6:30 meeting paul , and be at the BP Calder about 7 am
some are meeting at doncaster maccas
hopefully they will swing by eltham and we will go on the ring rd from there

[SilverRA23]

Righto.. so final meet point will be BP Calder. 7am for a 7.30 sharp departure? Or 7.15am departure?

[ian]

Is a Brown 1UZ Mazda allowed to tag along for the drive with you guys on the Day, i have never been before sounds like a good event ...

Hi Ian, as you can work out / guess the Celica is still off the road, hence the Mazda coming out, hope you have been keeping well, i apologise for falling off the radar & not getting back to you ..

Regards ..

Rob ..

i may be coming along in my cresta. my crown has still got registration troubles

[ian]

hi rob i will be leaving maccas in eltham about 6: 30 ish
its a half hour drive from there to BP calder

[SilverRA23]

hecate cresta might get bumped for not being classic enough...

does any one know what time cars are allowed to leave the grounds?

[lexsmaz]

Thanks Ian, i will do my best to get there, thats pretty early though !! .. Is that the Macca's on the corner of Bridge St & Bolton Rd ? ...

Adam has got me thinking, is there a cut off Year as far as what they will let into the parking / display area ...

Regards ..

Rob ..

have a look at the website.. it talks about being a show for classics, vintage, etc.. and states that even though some of the late model cars are classics, they are generally only allowed in as part of a club display.

so if you go in with all the toyotas there is some chance i would think... but if they are knocking back late model hsv's etc, what chance a late model toyota. not trying to rain on the parade, but i know supra1978 had issues getting his ma46 for a few years. not last year though.

[ian]

if we all assemble together and have our money together etc etc
they wont discriminate
its when a later model car wants to gain entry in to the display later in the day , say 10 am onwards they tend to fob them off , i heard that a nice street rod couldnt get in, as he fronted after 10 am , i think that it is more a safety issue with them having cars trying to get through crowds
i cant stress enough about the importance of all going through the one gate together that way we get directed to the footy ground and once there we can spread out a bit so we can save a couple of spaces thats what we have done in the past , if you noticed we were the largest group of one make cars together , although there we a ship load of mustangs and early fords they were all over the place
