Will you be running at Wakefield Park too? We cardigans might need some help from young folks to get into our cars. :lol:

Snow White is registered, which means that Ann and I will be there. :beer:

...Is anyone planning a QLD convoy at this stage?

Atleast one young guy coming along now to keep all you cardigans on your toes.

Aww man, there'll be young people this time? Makes me feel even worse I can't make it.

We did that for the Victorian Natmeet, dropped cars at depot 2 weeks before the event, had all sorts of dramas, train derailed, managed to get them to open the shipping office on a public holiday, drove flat out to get to Natmeet after leaving Adelaide at noon, arrived late on the first night. Had to wake up at the crack of dawn to try and wash some of the bugs off in time for concourse.

Unfortunately most of the cool kids only did the track day and avoided the rest of Natmeet.

Another train derailment on the way home meant it was another few weeks before we got our cars back, what is a long weekend for most is a lot of planning and expense for W.A. members.

Not Canberra, not Sydney, .... its Goulburn :wink:

I hope the Natmeet organisers are providing a map to registrants, or at least the ones from Queensland :lol:

Keep me in the loop John as I'm planning to take the weekdays either side of Easter. There're some nice roads that I am sure we could use between here and Canberra, ...and I certainly wouldn't attempt to try and do it in one day.

Okay Andrew, looking forward to it.

I'm thinking the less travelled route via Warwick, Texas, Warialda and Lake Keepit to Gunnedah on day one and then Mudgee, Bathurst and Crookwell to Canberra on day two. I'll work on it. :wink:
