OK whos going?

At this stage it looks like im in.

I intend on travelling to Vic the Thurs stay the night. Then Fri catch up with Vic crew and cruise with them up to usual spot for Fri night and Bonfire of course Sat.

I may or may not go to Syd on the Sunday or just slowly cruise home maybe back via Melb as the drive through the centre is just f**king awful.

Thoughts and whos going?

I'm keen, and tempted to fly into VIC for the trip up, unsure on that yet though.

Dwayne! Start an official thread already so we can put our names down!

I have the mental idea to go, but haven't laid down any plans yet or discussed with other half. At least I'm not travelling on my birthday this year.

Not sure if I can withstand another bout of Melbourne traffic, especially in a manual this time. I could be tempted to go the long route if the weather is any better than the almost non-stop torrent of rain and wind from last year.

Where are you thinking of stopping in Vic? Planning on the full coastal like us other SA guys did last year to Port Fairy, or the slightly more middle route?

Harden the F^%k up BEE JAY i'll be driving manual too.
Can go coastal route to Melb if ya like but will be doing in a day. I know some peeps in Melb so prob stay there if not just a motel somewhere

At least I'll have had lots of practice with the HD clutch lol.

As in you're doing the whole hog, Adelaide to Melbourne on the Thursday? (along the A8, through Horsham/Ballarat etc?)

Yea I'm keen for doing it in a day too. Not going to have much leave up my sleeve next year for the bonfire. Can't afford to take a week off like usual

First weekend of April (2nd/3rd) I'm keen...I'd prefer 2nd for sure. What all do we need to bring?

Yup, plus a lot of booze.

But he won't be driving a turbo manual, that's why he's being a little bitch about it

Looks like I'm going to be in 660cc of turbocharged fury at the next one!

But his foot is going to get sore from all the shifting......

Only cause he doesn't have the torque we do

At least I won't be whinging about fuel economy.
