1 litre of bourbon and a couple 2 litre bottles of coke zero will have me sorted for 2 nights in a row

taking my laptop and my nextG connection too so i can upload pics of the show to the forum as it happens - i just hope there are enough people taking pictures, as i wont be bringing any fancy cameras (aside from my phone)...

im considering asking my detailer to drive up to loxton the day before so he can detail my car and possibly others - naturally I'd need several people to make it worth his while, and he does full car details for between $50 and $200 depending on how detailed u need it... i'll probably end up driving up friday arvo so i can get there several hours before sundown... maybe have a bbq on the river for anyone else driving up on the friday too

if ur keen on this idea, pm me asap

i'm sure he'll detail anything, including steak knives, if you're willing to pay the tarrif

[SLED]

depends on what he charges I guess.........and unlike a car, probably wouldn't have a set rate me thinks.

i couldnt imagine your bike taking more than an hour to detail

when he did my car last year before the berri show he was at my place at 10am on sunday and left at 4pm and charged $200 and i was very very happy with the blokes work

it depends if u want interior clean, exterior clean, exterior polish, underbody detailing... he doesnt do engine bay details but knows some folks who do... my engine bay aint interesting so i never bothered

I wouldn't worry about my paint cause I can do that in 5 minutes.

The combination of chrome, polished alloy and polished stainless steel is what takes so long so its just one kind of polish that he would use......the hard to get to fiddly bits are what take so long though.

Always a lot quicker when there's 2 or 3 polishing at the same time.......even then would probably take an hour to do it properly.

true, no reason why more than one person can detail a car at a time, would be good to have a pro on side tho, with the right solutions and towels. ill call his this week and see if hes interested

[SLED]

I'd say there would be a few peeps interested in a Pro job at the right price ie. group buy type thingy

[dark.sky]

That idea wins Ben!

Cool - now who is co-ordinating this shindig? I've just spoken to Cara who is of the opinion that its Luke and Steves job now...

I agree but we can't force anyone to do anything.

If someone has to pick up the slack, I'm as good as anyone. So far after reading thru the thread, it looks like the attendance will be as follows.

How many of you guys have already booked accomodation? I'm sorted at the Hotel and there might be one more room for any stragglers. If you're going up there, please let me know your plans as per Ruby's earlier post :

a) drive up on friday, stay for 2 nights and drive back sun

b) drive up on friday, stay one night, drive back saturday night

c) drive up saturday morning and drive home the same day

I've done C) before but it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be, thats why I'm going for option A).

Got a few organisational questions ; What kind of SAU/SAU-SA motifs have we got? DO we have some kind of gazebo or tent? I'll probably cook brekky for anyone interested on the saturday morning, but you'd have to be up and at em early in the morning

If I get an FM transmitter, how many people would be interested in tuning their cars into the same station and creating a massive, mega, multi car boom box?

I've already booked my room, and am taking option A. Multi car boom box? Depends what youre playing haha

ok so dion, nightcrawler, sled, myself have got confirmed bookings

anyone else on that list finalized your accomodation? Am curious to see how many people will be staying at the hotel. up a bit from the hotel is the river and no doubt a bbq somewhere, so I'm thinking of kicking a bacon and egg fried brekky. bring your own coronary bypass.

also would like to know how many are keen on getting the detailing done up there...

regarding music, it'll be a family day and we dont want to give the club any bad PR so there won't be any profanity, gangsta rap or death metal... I'd welcome suggestions but I've got a fair idea of what I can do... I know that most people wont be able to pump their stereos all day so I'm thinking a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the arvo. I'll bring my battery charger incase anyone goes low but if you dont have a deep cycle battery I wouldnt advise it. We wouldnt have it cranked loud as ew dont want to be obnoxious, but having a few cars in the display playing music would be a great display of coordination.

also, I've been playing around with photoshop, making an a3 plaque of the specifics of my car. here is a very draft mockup...

Anyone else want something similar made up? I'm not sure of printing or framing costs tho
