hehehe very enjoyable reading Teddy - loved the attempt at spelling my girlfriends name!! haha it's Candice, but good effort - i just wanna say that for a man coming from another state you certainly came prepared, thankyou again for the lilo compressor and the lend of the sleeping bag, really appreciated it, oh and that sleeping bag is SO SO SO warm, omg.

 

can't wait to see your pictures, from what i saw on your camera it was good stuff - i'll post mine up when i get a spare minute also.

 

glad you had an awesome time, and as a newbie, i agree with you 100% that the group was awesome and its good to hear the QLD crew are just as cool - I'm getting excited for more cruises now!!!!

OOOHHHHH my head, body and anything else that is attached...... 8S Sorry for the late reply. It shouldn't be called Big Day out. It should be called F'n Rediculously, Stupidly Massive Day n Night Out.

 

Anyway enough of my sookin. I would like to say that that was one of the best weekends I've ever encounted!! A BIG thanks to Jarrad and Mel for their excellent effort. You guys made an event that not only I, but many would love to be part of on annual basis. CHEERS!!!

 

Another BIG thanks to the boys and lady from SA. You guys did so well to make it with the circumstances that were dealt to you. Well done for the effort!!

 

Another BIG thanks to Teddy. Man you rock for makin it all the way from QLD!!! Thanks for gettin us to the pub n back too.

 

And a BIG thanks to the rest of us for being there and making it happen.

 

I would love to make it again for another year and hopefully many more to come. I'm not fussed if more people come or not. I had the best time with the people there and would love to see them there again.

 

From Myself and behalf of my gf Flip thanks again

 

Now I've got the thank-you's out of the way, that Great Ocean road is awesome! On the way back I think I was extremely lucky that I had an imported toyota tarago in front of me speeding, cause he got done n I didn't. I was just about to over take him too :) I ended up makin Flip really sick though, with my drivin. We were goin a little fast :o

Made it to big day out a little late but in time enough to see The Butterfly Effect's set.

 

Anyway, me dinner's ready so more later on

 

Catch ya's later, Leigh :)

Sorry i had to edit last post even i couldnt understand it. I'm banning myself from late night posting.lol. Yes it was great to meet eveyone and finally put names to faces.

 

Thanks mick for the jumpstart even though it wasnt the issue, and also thanks to everyone that helped to get the old girl started, god those k motors are strong. i`ll start a thread about that in the ke mechanical section for a laugh.

 

portland sounds good for next year or even further i don`t mind.

Well... WOW!

 

Mel and myself are so glad everyone had a great time, even the SA crew after there mamoth "scenic" trip to Apollo Bay. Thankyou to everyone who made the trip, you all rock!

 

Mick, those pics came up really well... but wheres my car? lol! I have a stack of video fotage from the run, about 3 to 4 hours worth! Once I get into gear and turn it into some smaller highlight clips I will post them up on the net for all to have a look!

 

Teddy, man, that post is the bomb! Mel and I were sitting in the airport watching everyone coming out going "is it him? No its him... hangon... Hmm!" lol, were really glad you enjoyed your stay and would do it again in no time... A top bloke you are and one who comes very prepared!

 

Also, WOOHOO, I made RL! Cheers for that! I have a few more events I want to get happening so this will help heaps! I can even give myself the spelling fairy!

 

MRMOPARMAN, after your words about the highway trip home (how awesome the roads are!) we might have to do a day trip up there or something? I really wanted to push the Twinky a bit on the trip! I was having a ball pissing the Crewman ute off as all 5 cars stuck to his ass like glue through the twisties! Next time I think I will shed some wieght out of the car... 3 people and there luggage was crazy! Bump stops all the way... and they have been cut down half way!

 

Well, might have to post up pics now! They were taken on the digital video Cam so there not that great! But he digital camera ones are ok!

don't worry mate, there will be heaps more to come!

 

I'm still stoked that all went well, bloody glad we cooked the bacon and eggs too, settled my stomach after a few too many drinks!

 

Xany, mate, if you make the trip that would be next year that would be freakin unreal! I might have to get another Rolla ready for the run... AE71 anyone? lol At least it will have more room in the boot!

 

Well, we will have to start thinking about next year. I really like the reserve we stayed in but it is a bit of a trip for the SA crew in the car, I will be looking into Portland in the coming weeks to see what is available and whats around for us to do while were there... if were there!

Also, thinking that using the complete long weekend would be much better, this way we all get a chance to see what the area has to offer tourist wise and we can all get to know each other much better! Possibly even a day trip to another town/to some windy roads etc. See what we can muster up!

 

Again, glad everyone had a great time and it was fantastic to meet the people from other states and the ones I hadnt met before!

 

Cheers for now,

Jarrad

Ah, its about time i posted :o !

 

Well, what an amazing weekend. i don't know where to start.. maybe the beginning would work :)

 

Anways got down there sometime around 10 pm? The hole daylight savings is good and bad.. hahah Mexicans do alot of things a little backwards down there :) !

 

if we are mexicans then by the map of the world you guy`s must be canadians which would explain why all queenslanders finnish every sentence with AY. is that word or combination of letters a question or a statement can you clarify this please Matt.

but at least mexicans are good for one thing labor, Canadians don't even know if they are french or yanks so what good are they?

lol.

Lol, I noticed that when I was up in Townsville. True Ay!

 

Portland looks like it has a fair bit to do and yes, a strongly second using the whole 3 days. That way we will have more time to socialise and I'll have more time to take pics of the cars! :)

 

That weekend just went too quickly and I think somewhere that is even distance would be much better (though it still took 10 hours to get back here from Portland, but I can deal with 10 hours much easier than 12+ hours).

 

Cheers

Mick
