I went there early last year to have a look at a certain silver FTO they (still) had for sale for a member here. My car had been recently t-boned and the smartarse working there said "Looking for a spare door"
Needless to say I asked him if the car had any rust on it "No" and how long they had had it for "Just been imported".
I then pointed out that I had looked at the car 2 years prior (it was at a previous (and just as shifty) importer then) and then pointed out to him all the rust that was still there 2 years after I myself had got it inspected by the RACV

I guess its all depends on the time, we are covering 250km in half a day & a bit, with 10 cars plus, it isn't exactly going to be a "normal" run.
So if we stop for BBQ, we might not be able to cover the entire route, or we can shorten the route, so we can have a BBQ.

I agree with shortening the cruise. I dont wanna be driving the entire time and be rushed with the stop overs.
I reckon we cut out the Mt Dandy part becuz we all know on a sunday theres a lot of traffic there so its a bit pointless to be stuck behind a car thats travel 30 km/h
Regarding import car dealers. I reckon the best one at the moment is CariZma. It has always imported excellent examples of cars and good prices.

there is a small CAFE in the Maroondah reservoir just past Healsville. fries /pies etc. there are also BBQs.
we would be driving past anyway, and it saves having to stop to buy all the stuff.
And we would be passing other places to buy food,
CYA sunday Tarkus

Money can't buy happiness, but it can help you look for it quicker, in a convertible.
