Holy crap... That was 4 years, two girlfriends and 8 Corollas ago.

Bugger the coconut...with banana prices down here at around $15 a kilogram, I'll settle for a bunch! :laff:

 

This, however crazy, sounds like an epic journey! Anyone interested in going part-ways in a Toyota to drive there, donate to 7shades & fly home? (odds are the car will be so shagged it wont make it back)

 

P.S Evan, you just want to argue with Trev face to face don't you? :P

FREE NANA'S FOR EVERYONE

 

But really, if anyone's brave enough to make the whole trip, I have plenty of space to crash.

I have second home on a property up in the hills, next to a lake. Plenty of room there (and a ski boat :P )

 

 

I'll set up a Thunderdome for Evan and Trev.

Funny you should mention 4k...I was thinking of a KE70 :P I've got some family I'd drop into Brissy to visit so I'd be around. Gotta find social hat though... :wink:

 

The two to three weeks is prob not a go for me, work will be flat out. :( However we (Victorians) do get a nice long weeknd at the start of November?

 

I'm also about financial sense/restrictions as well, so thinking of tent/camping grounds rather than motels etc. I like camping anyways so works for me :yes:

 

Edit: Am not hijacking, just throwing out ideas! :)

thats what we plan on doing, plan our journey so we can book camp sites in a couple differnt places. (NOT KEEN IN SLEEP IN THE CAR!

 

 

i reckon the 4k would make it cause its more simpler than the 5m. seeda is more comfy and spaceious but more electronic therefore mo money mo problems . rolla is more LOUD and annoying on long distances.

 

should be a epic journey!

 

edit - drive all day. camp/drink bonfire at night! the epic GOR cruise for real men :P

If any of you crackers actually make it THIS far north without dying or (further) destroying your cars, I'll give you a coconut.

 

 

Especially going the inland route from Roma. There is.... NOTHING... Out there.

 

 

Done the inland route once before and your right "There is.... NOTHING... Out there."

 

I wish you well in your road trip

 

drive all day. camp/drink, eat bacon, bonfire at night! the epic GOR cruise for real men :P

Fixed for you.

Also, I've got the fire covered :jamie:

 

On a slightly serious note, the camping idea appeals, but I have to question the reasoning behind going the inland route?

And given the distance, I'm assuming a 3 day run to be easy on the poor old cars? Or are we trying for a new record and allowing the extra two and a half weeks to ship in spare parts for whichever car(s) are broken on the side of the highway? :P

:hmm: Sept - Nov

There'll be the possibility of a camping trip with some of the SE QLD crew around then.

LOL'd pretty hard at this!

 

Good to see our trip has attention :P

I'm happy to provide trailer recovery service for Nth NSW and SE Qld if required. :)

Could be a fun trip. I trekked up over easter in a mates GT Falcon for the nats in Brissy. There were quite a few nice roads along the way.

I'd say spares will be a must.

P.S Evan, you just want to argue with Trev face to face don't you? :P

 

BRB guys, off to buy a cheap laser keyboard to have a keyboard warrior fight :P
