All good mate, I just sent it to you via PM. For future refs the bank details will also be in the main info post (1st post of the thread) for all to see. The bank is Bendigo Bank for those that need it. Looking really good here, more numbers coming in by the day! JP

Always comes up way to quick! Well, there is a list in the 1st post as of now... I am yet to put the cruise details inthere as I'm having some computer problems... took almost 30minutes for this page to load! Hope it doesnt take that long when I hit the add reply button! TO refresh everyones memory, we are (from Vic anyway) driving to Port Fairy via the inland Highway to stay the night and see the sights. The next day being Sunday, we will drive the Great Ocean Road to Lorne or Apollo Bay (depending on what everyone wants to do) and hit the beach and the pub etc. Just have a good time! On our way back (or the way there) we will do the Ottway Fly (treetop walk), this should be something else from what I have seen! Once back in Port fairy we will all kick back some more and probably head out for tea or hit the take away joints/BBQ areas... and the esky if I have my way! Monday or Sunday will have a BBQ Bacon and Eggs Breakfast as part of the deal. Monday will be time to hand out the awards judged by the group over the weekend and then we will possibly have lunch and head home. PLenty of small details to work out but thats always the case. I have some good meet points in mind but I need to speak to the Peninsula crew as they will most likely be coming over on the boat again... Really looking forward toi the run!!!!! One more thing, if you recieved a PM from me but have not yet replied, please do so so I can confirm your coming! Cheers, JP

That would be an interesting look! I went through all of the pages in the GOR threads and sent everyone who had posted in them a PM... was enough interest for me! Sorry to hear you can't make it, if you change your mind let us know! As for SA involvement, this is looking great! This is the most interest there has been from over here before and looks to be a great turnout from all involved. can't wait. JP

Ok, everyone. My Bank details are as follows. And before anyone says anything, I have no problems throwing up these details as the account was opened for this use. My Bank details... Account name: J P Saleta Account No: 116144809 BSB: 633-000 If you deposit monet into the account please put your screen name as the title of the transfer. JP

Thought I had better stir up this thread once more as were not to far off! The Ocean Road run will be heading to sunny Port Fairy (vic) this year, we will be heading there via the inland highway from Melbourne (not sure where the SA crew will be cruising) and staying in port fairy for the saturday and sunday nights. On Sunday we will be making our way along the great ocean road through to Lorne, a bit of backtracking but thats what its all about, the Great Ocean Road! This will mean the South Aus and Vic crew will do the GOR together for the first time! This will give us time to check out Lorne and hit the beach for a while (and the pub) then make our way back to port fairy (via the treetop walk) on the ocean road. This is our 3rd event running and is looking to be the biggest and best yet, can't wait! If you are keen jump on the Vic Melb section and check out the Great Ocean Road trip thread to state your interest... will keep this thread updated as more info comes to light. Remember, this is Rollaclubs only Tri-State Event! JP

No problem mate, should be fine. Forgot about the thursday pay day... mine is the same! Basically needed to put a date on it, by the end of that week is fine for everyone unless organised beforehand. The only reason for the short notice on deposits is the place wants it now pretty much. Have worked it out with them so all will be good,. JP

Hello ALL! Just a quick note to tell everyone to check the main thread in the Vic section for the latest updates... Accommodation has been booked so I'm chasing numbers and deposits for the Camp sites. JP

Hello All! This seems to be a yearly thing... probably because we don't stay in the same place every time... accomodation has been a sight pain in the ass to get sorted but were in! Accomodation is booked! We have 8 sites booked at Southcombe By The Sea Caravan Park in Port Fairy for the 24th to the 26th of Jan (Saturday to monday) for the Australia Day Weekend. Now, looking at the number of people that have shown interest in the run this may be a little short of space! We have had interest from 32 Rollaclub members, this will no doubt shrink down but its looking like we will have the biggest run to date! Also, this isnt including peoples mates/partners etc. Click for a link to the parks web page Click! Looking at the township of Port Fairy we are about 2 blocks out of town, as are all bar one of the parks but the one in town was booked out as its a "Big4" park... We have 4 unpowered sites and 4 powered sited booked at the moment, all together. Ok, now for the important stuff.. I need to put up a list of interested parties. As per usual this will be in the very first post for this thread. Keep an eye out there for important updates and changes to the list. I also need deposits to secure our sites, this will also give our predicted numbers for the run and allow me to book more sites if needed. I will need deposits pretty soon, say by wednesday the 26th of November... only One week from now... If anyone has problems with this please send me a PM and we will sort something out. I will only need $10 from each person coming, this will cover the accomodation holding fee. The total cost for the run will be posted up shortly, don't worry, as per tradition this will be a cheap initial outlay that includes goodie bags, awards, accomodation and a BBQ breaky for one morning for all. Now one more important thing about the price of the weekend. The cost for everything will always depend on the amount of people coming. If we have bugger all people turn up then we will have a higher cost per person, if we have a stack of poeple then it will go down. Hope everyone can come! PM me if you have any questions or post them up and we will go from there! JP

I'm more worried about birds and small children getting caught in my scoop than dust :bash:

Welcome Eze... bout time I saw you on here! Car was looking good in sunshine when I met you. Welcome to the club. Nob

Can always end up at a nice BBQ in Rippleside Park in Geelong, I make my way there monthly in the wags for a rod n custom meet.... Nice place to be. And yes Paul, reality has struck! still waiting on finance... not fun! JP

For Stu to be recomending them... and letting them touch his car... they must be pretty good!

CH1KA... I tell you what, your post was a killer to read. Not having a dig but a little more english rather than sms speak would be sweet! As for being behind the VSS, were not that far away, this is our third run and we are a much smaller group than they are. Many groups have ocean road trips, theres even a Port Fairy rod run on in Jan that has a big cruise along the ocean road beforehand... they manage about 200 cars! Raven, and everyone, I have been in contact with 2 camp sites and they have sites available. As for bookings I havent been able to make any due to owners etc being unavailable when I called... this is my fault as I have only been able to get hold of them sundays or on vics public holiday for the melbourne cup. Email seems to be the go! I have this saturday arvo off work so I will see what I can rustle up. Appologies to the delay... been a fun couple of months. Benny has been having fun with the goodies bags too... all is looking good! JP

Hey Pete, welcome to RollaClub. Project sounds good, can't beat the 1owner cars if they have been well kept! As for who is in charge, well, over the whole site the Moderators and Admin rule the roost. As for sub regions, we have region leaders who have some control over what goes on in there own region. For instance, I can't go into the SA region (or any others) and modify posts etc whereas I can in the Vic section. So I guess the short answer is the Admins and Mods are in charge and run the place. Again, welcome. JP

Hey, the first route even starts just down the road from my place! I vote 1st meet point in the marsh! Lol I may or may not be able to do a run around this time. The girl and I have just bought a house and get the keys on the 19th of Dec, will be away the weekend before that as well... and come to think of it we will be away for christmas too! $$$ will be pretty tight so the wagon will most likely be staying home if I'm on the trip. Sounds like a plan anyway, the 1st route would be pretty good. don't take the estimated time to seriously though, I would add about 45mins to that to be on the safe side as theres alot of twisties out there to slow(?) you all down. JP

The ol' Val will be pedling pretty hard as well... will see how I go!

Unless you want my Wags in the callender I'm not much use either! Mind you, I have just retrimmed the old school beast so thats a bonus! As per every year, this should turn out pretty good.

Your soft tate! Yo coulda walked home! Lol! Yes, I'm flat out getting the wags finished for the John's Rod n Custom Picnic... and I'm not well hence a day of yesterday. Hope it all went well tonight! JP

Matty, strictly BYO carports... I mean, its camping! Maybe buy a bloody big tent and park it in there and sleep in the car! :) If you really need to park your car under cover then you will have to sort something out for yourself or stay somewhere else. Sorry for the hard line but thats how it is, camping grounds just don't have undercover carparks. JP

Alrighty then, you are right, camping grounds charge around $25 per site which includes 2 people and a car. As we stay for two nights the price doubles but not for us campers... I have to book accomodation months before, so the deposit is always paid in advance. The way its been done is a fee is charged for the weekend that includes camping fees, breakfast for one day (bacon, eggs, bread, drinks etc), Stickers (hopefully they get sorted properly this year), goodies bag and awards for the prizes given out for the weekend. If there is any money left over the group will decide as to what to do with it... or it will be thrown on the bar for one of the nights we hit the town! Security is Shit Hot! No matter where we stay it will be some of the best you can find... thats because our cars are parked right beside us in our camping site. If anyone manages to "borrow" your car or break in whilst we are all so close then they really earned what ever they get! Hope this helps, JP

Mel will most likely be coming along, she hasnt missed a run as yet but we will see what happens. I have been on the phone to the few camping grounds in Port fairy, seems we wont have a problem getting into any of them but as I rang late Saturday managers didnt really want to talk til monday... will see how we go when I get back to them. That said, are we all still keen for Port Fairy? I was in Lorne Saturday and had another look around for things to do whilst we are there, the pubs good, beach is good, even the bloody art galleries are good! PLenty to do on the way to and from Lorne as well... oh, and plenty of beach babes! lol! Will get some more info to you all when it comes to hand. JP

Hey chief, would be good to bring the wagon down again but I'm busy in the morning. Hope it all goes well, I havent made my way over there for a while! Jarrad

Hmmm, seems I have missed tates morning post! Any nights good for me... We will sort something out

At least were not eating in Geelong... if they win again it will be crazier than last year over there!

Mr Tate, whats going on??? Are we meeting up tomorrow night or are we crackin Saturday?
