Sounds good!
:D I'll be in touch re: cruise down (and back) in due course.
In the meantime, if anybody has a violent disagreement to a 3.30 sharp departure time from said roadhouse and would prefer it to be earlier or later, please post your suggested timeframe and we'll see what we can do to accommodate you. My mob is on the Guide so those aiming to be there but running unavoidably late can text or ring and we can sort something out if need be.

I'd say you'd be looking to meet at the Mobil Road House at Pheasant's Nest. Just don't attempt to eat there, or have coffee :o

I agree re: hot food and coffee, etc. We're not going to camp there - just fill their car park for 30 mins while we get everyone together and then **** off!

J/K. Who knows if we will even come down the coast road.

Seriously, keep me posted on your route and likely eta through Sydney (or around it) so we can hook up. Always more fun with more people.

Last time we went to Wakefield me and the Hymster took of around 6 am from the Goldcoast did the scenic route OF Sydney
and arrived at Wakefield around 8.30 pm had some chinese went to bed around 12 pm , woke up around 6 am went for a full day on the track, no problemo and i am a young 51 years of age :D After the track day the next morning i headed to Melbourne , stayed thre for 10 days then drove home .

Pit Stops
Hi Guys,
I just got back to Melbourne after driving to Port Stephens, NSW for a conference.
As far as Pit stops go for the trip up, I filled up at a shell servo on the outskirts of Melbourne - i don't know the suburb name :o and then didn't refuel till Albury, NSW.
I made the mistake of stopping at McDonalds for brekkie and missed out by 1 minute (I arrived at 10.31am) - which promptly reminded me why i loathe maccas
. My next fuel stop and toilet break was at the "Dog on the Tuckerbox" A huge new BP garage opened there about 2 weeks ago and they have Subway :D unfortunately they also had a very big queue
For the trip home i had a brief bit of convoy action with 2 yellow ferrari's for 50kms or so :D :D :D until they got bored with me and shot off into the distance
i did stop at the BP garage in Albury, for fuel & dinner and it was quite nice food.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Rick

Due to the limited number of available colours we are not considering these for the Nats :D However, sponsors are invited to consider -- I have everyone's size!

They come in Black, Red, Yellow and Blue. The Red is as bright as the Yellow!
Be aware, they also vary in style between different providers. One has exposed zip (!) the other has a fold over flap (!)
42 sleeps left (Will be too excited to sleep on Thursday 20/10!)

and not as a fashion accessory or to match your car colour or your jocks :p As there will be lots of people there if some one needed to find an official they would stand out in the crowd , thats the purpose of the jacket .
