Great Ocean Rd Cruise. 27-28jan '07 Aus Day Weekend

Well, I have more news!

 

I got a phone call today from the Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve, it turns out that they are quite happy to have us over the Aus day weekend (even if its only for one night... but we have to be nice to them) as long as its on a non powered site. They will be able to sort out a bunch of sites in a group so we can park on them as well as live on them for the night and are going to do it pretty cheap for the members of Rolla club if we get in early.

 

The prices are $25 per site for 2 people and $7 per extra head, but he said that if we want parking space (and if were going to be nice to them) we should get enough sites for all of us as opposed to cramming a couple of sites full.

 

This is the only place I have had any luck with out of the now 8 parks I have contacted, so its looking pretty good and the are looking after us.

 

So again, the decision has to be made. Do we keep it on this weekend and book early? We would need conformation from members if they ARE coming... not just thinking about it, we would also possibly need a deposit of some kind?

Or, do we make it a different weekend and try our luck with another park?

Also, who would be interested in making it from friday to Sunday? Just a thought.

 

Again, let me know what you think and if you are coming let me know who you are bringing ( for numbers). Its the start of november now so Australia Day isnt that far away!

I will have my new engine in by then... will be in hopefully before christmas, so keep your pants on stu! I might just give you a hiding!

 

I have had a good think and Saturday night looks the best. That way we can leave reasonably early Saturday morning and have a good day driving and checkin out the sites... some good photo ops on the way. As the sites will be unpowered we might as well all head out for tea or something, this can all be sorted out on the weekend. Also, heading out in the daylight and ariving in the daylight will be much better that getting there in the dark, we will have more time to do as we please and have a ball!

 

Ok, so we have 6 people Confirmed at the moment (Me + ms, Webbers4x48 and missus, kickn5k and ...)

 

I am going to get back in contact with The rec researve and get some more details sometime soon, I will also sort out what the deposit per site will cost. This will have to be done relatively soon as the parks tend to fill pretty quickly, so if your definentally coming post up and I will sort the deposits out.

hey jarrod,

 

spoke to a couple of the cccv boys today and told them about the weekend and they seem pretty keen. just need the details posted on the toymods forum and they'll let us know. i did stress to them that we need to confirm numbers asap and a deposit or full payment to be payed.

 

cheers leigh

Haha! We will see what happens!

 

Ok, one thing I am trying to avoid is too many people. I am not sure how many is too many really, but I will have to get in contact with the Recreational park again to see what they say.

Its looking like we will end up with 20 plus people at the moment, maybe 30. So yeah, lets see what the park says about numbers.

 

On the other hand, I have also been talking to others that would like to come. So maybe we will end up with a pack of day trippers and an overnight bunch?

 

Whats everyone think?

Ok, cool. Thats 3 more confirmed that makes 9...

 

On the numbers topic, my main problem with having say, 30+ people, we will have trouble finding accomodation. I havent got in contact with the park yet but when I do I will find out what sort of numbers they will be happy with.

 

Will keep you all posted.

You still have to get your drivable and then engineered and registered. Whereas i have two sorted i am regd and engineered.LOL but not yet that drivable but shane might be able to fix that. paul i bet youll end up in the pulsar and leigh has already smoketh so don't be too cocky paul. don't forget plenty of time for me to drop in the injection and that blower kit but don't forget cam and that 3.5 ltr ke20.

 

But seriously when i have the old girl running ill come up your way jarrad and give the deposit to you.

the rover conversion definately wont be ready in time. but I'm thinking i may throw the race car on club rego... that should be ready in time

 

Now thats the shit!!!!

 

I like the idea of chasing cams rolla round some corners! I started my engine swap today so all should be nice and grunty by the time this meet comes around!

 

As for an update on accomodation... I still havent had a chance to get hold of them as I have been flat out. As soon as I have something you will all know.

Bring it on paul :) . cause if you beat me in my daily i'll just have to bring out the big banger! and i'll even give you a decent head start :P even better, i'll race you in reverse :jamie:

 

Hey cam, hope you do bring out the beast. I've seen you drive the wheels off a stocker (literaly!) so you in a real race car should be something out of this world :y:

 

Jarrod, if we can't beat em with speed, pull your silencer off and the both of us could beat em with db's....hehe
