Well...
I am looking half seriously at coming. But.
From here it's a 1700km round trip; to partake in a 130km 'cruise'.
I have a small oil leak coming from I dunno where a.t.m. I'd need to resolve, and I'd much prefer to undertake such a journey with at least 1 other vehicle. i.e. If no-one from Melbourne is daft enough to undertake attending this cruise, then I might well not tempt fate.

But as it happens, I have already organised the Friday preceding and the Monday following the weekend as RDO's so that I can drive the 12 hours to get there on the Friday, and the 12 hours to get home on the Monday if all the heavenly bodies move into alignment...

If I don't get there, I have plenty of other stuff that could do to have 4 solid days of attention so the RDO's won't be wasted either way.

I'm considering it very seriously, but I need to get my boy running properly again. Yes it currently runs, but badly..... Had other things to deal with... I should probably also upgrade the gearbox to the F8b box I have in the shed, save the poor little f8b a few rpms....

I'm crazy enough to do the 1700km or so round trip as long as I can get it running properly. I better make a list & check it twice lol...

Cheers

Anyone insane enough :crazy: to travel from Melbourne would be welcome to camp at my place Thursday night and travel the rest of the journey with me and Mel on Friday. :D

Don't feel obliged to make a decision until closer to the date, I'm sure there will also be spare beds in my cabin... which reminds me that I need to book one! :P

Nah. Not being weak... :baby: And I knew full well when I posted about it being 1700 clicks that someone probably has been doing that to get to Albury already :lol: So I can't really use the distance as an excuse... Better see about getting my oil leak sorted then. :thumbup2:

Righto Jay... You'd better get your boy sorted too I guess!
Kev...Gav... What's the go with you two then...?

Six weeks to get sorted.

I know it sounds weak, but I am thinking of hiring a trailer and coming up with a safer car

Don't worry - my fiance suggested that we do just that too. If I can get my tandem back, I can tow that up there behind my ford. Problem solved. However I still gotta get the boy running properly lol.

I hope to get a bit of time to work on it this Sunday.

Cheers

My father has an Audi A4, Audi wants $6000 to put a towbar on. Because its a "special" towbar, apparantly it folds up underneath the car. No one else makes them...... He's thinking of trading it in now, hahaha.
