Can do Andrew when we lock it down I'll send you an e-mail and find where your staying in Sydney.

We will probably have a couple of meeting points along the way.
My basic thinking at the moment is leaving Sydney early on the Wednesday 31st (6:30??? M5 Beverly Hills). Have a pick up point say at Pheasant’s Nest Mobil servo (7:15??) or Shell @ Sally's corner (7:40??), then on to the big twin servo's after Goulburn and have some brekkie around 9:00ish, possibly pick up the Canberra crew in Yass an hour later, then onto to Wagga to pick up our Vice Prez who's there visiting family.

Gosh, Darn and Dang It... :(

I need to be in Sydney on the Wednesday so I was planning to set off early Thursday morning and overnight in Balranald, then taking the Punt at Wellington and coming in the back way to MacLaren Vale mid Friday. There's nothing scheduled for Friday in the program other than the registration and BBQ dinner, so there's no great hurry to be there Friday morning - at least from my perspective anyway.

So unless anyone else is planning to leave on Thursday morning, it looks like Snow White will be on her todd.

I'll be leaving from Kent Street in the city.

Thanks for the positive response though.

That's no good. It's a long way to travel solo. I'll find out if someone is heading down on the Thursday and if so give you their contact number.

Why not try and reschedule your Wednesday event to the day before? It's worth a try.

Oh and you'll be the only white SP there as Troy isn't going.

cheers,

Phil

Travelling solo isn't an issue, I'll be with the BOV and I've done the trip previously in a 240Z & once in a HZ Premier wagon. It's just not as much fun, but it might be slightly quicker not having so many stop-offs. Not to worry. The Wednesday commitment is firm, and unfortunately, not negotiable, so Thursday it is for me.

...Who's Troy? I thought Casey (from Canberra) had the only other White SP... or is Casey a pseudonym?

Yep.

Haven't seen him at the track for almost 18 months now but he's still a member of the Club.

Jeebus Darbs, you've been here long enough, Casey is code for "white SP for sale"

He was at Casey Station in the frozen part of Australia when he joined the forum, "white SP for sale" was already taken 8)
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.
