Sorry if this has been said already, but what are the dates for this cruise? If it's the 23rd and 24th of Jan, then i'll be out. Murray Bridge Autofest!! hehehe..haven't missed one yet..

 

i am fairly interested, will just have to make sure the KE30 is up for it...

Hi, i just edited my 1st post for the dates so check it out and also have a read in the vic section where all the organising is taking place.

 

Cheers matt.

Thought id give an update on my readyness for the trip.

 

Car is out of the shed after sitting in the weeds for 5 months and 2 months on jack stands.

 

Ive Replaced balljoints, 95% nolathane the car, tie rod ends, clutch, shifter bush kit, wheel bearings, positive battery terminal, and battery.

 

Things getting done this week as I'm holidays Rego, new exhaust, new radaitor and wheel alignment.

 

In the 2nd week of my holidays we are going to ballerat. I wanted to take the AE71 but i don't think it would be wise since i havent had time to give her a shake down.

 

I havent asked for time off yet but pretty it wont be an issue, vess has hers approved.

 

How is everyone else going with getting time off and car readyness ?

Car is ready, time off to be negotiated but shouldn't be a problem.

 

I can't wait :jamie:

sounds like you'll have everything organised a few months beforehand :jamie:

 

i reckon you'll be the only one HAHA

 

i was just about to ask if'll you'll be up for a catch up dinner one night while you're in B'Rat, but i'll be the only one around as Nobby is off on holidays.

 

our "new" crown is rego'd, lowered and whitewalled....just needing the venetian now and Fran will be all set!

sounds like a plan, have a few beers at the local eh?

I should be taking the panel van on the run :)

 

I'd say she would be pretty reliable since the motor only has 30,000k's on it :jamie:

PM sent :jamie:

I'm 99% sure i could do the trip now with no problems, but id love to have a new paint job before the trip, cars "looks" are rather poor.

Mechanically no issues, only thing left is electric fan and new radaitor. Not liking the fan hub atm sounds like 100 series landcruiser :yes:

 

The attendance list may be coming about soon so keep your eyes on the vic section for deposit updates ect.

If the wagon gets done in time (I'm really hoping so) then i might tag along. time off shouldnt be a problem.

after months of nothing, we finally have action :)

 

straight from the horses mouth, we're pencilled in at Claremont Holiday Village.

 

7 sites at 4ppl per site.

 

we should be able to get more if needed (didn't bother asking)

 

rough price of $60-$70 total. deposit of around $30 will be needed soonish to hold the sites, they want 50% deposit for them.

 

nobby'll post up more info later (actually, he probably won't as i've put in most of the important stuff)

 

dF

A bit of an update, car is going great but my partner has been made redundant, one car is gettting rego and its hers for job hunting cannot afford the trip, sorry all. I was looking forward to this alot but as a mortgage needs to be paid and shed loan somethings require more attention.

 

cheers matt and vess

LOL! ok update again, vess has her job back plus a new job role because the book keeper gave notice, so no more redundance.

 

But, due to the staff cuts and role change they cannot guarantee the time off.
