well the run to GOR (if we're going to apollo bay) takes around 3 hours from melbourne. Last time i went to apollo bay we left at around 10:30am and got home around 8pm. But that's mainly because we farted around at lorne, apollo bay for around 3-4 hours. We also got stuck in rush hour sunday traffic.

I would guess that you would make it home around midday from Apollo Bay.

Thanks for the offer of a ride...

I've actually got my license, but i've only had it since monday (may I add that the tester complemented me on my driving abilty afterwards- and she failed the guy before me). As a result of only being licensed for a week my dad is a bit anti me going down the GOR with you guys without more experience...

I respect what he's saying as while i did a lot of practice on my L's, and can drive quite well for someone my age and, but I haven't done much more than a few country trips, and nothing like the GOR. I know I wouldn't be a imbissile and try to keep up with you guys who have more experience, but I respect what he's saying...

It would have been great to meet you guys, but I guess it'll have to wait until the next club run. I'll try and talk him into letting me go tomorrow, but it probebly wont work. BTW he cant go with me as he is leaving for Sydney sunday afternoon.

The weather looks awesome for you guys though, have fun! Its anoying as I would absolutly love to drive the road! I guess when I finally do it, it will be even more special due to the wait!

well congratulations on getting your licence anyway!

your dad is right tho, it's probably not the best situation for a newly licensed driver...

you could always just come in to town for dinner at the garage cafe tomorrow night tho to meet the group buy king, boags! there will be no driving / hooning, just an early dinner and a bit of a chat, then home for an early night to bed.

Thanks,

I'll see about the dinner. If I can make it i'll let you know by tomorrow afternoon. I think I have your number somewhere.

It would have been nice, but i'll definetly come on one of the next club runs as long as its not something like a night black spur run..
