Mt Buller drive - Sat 17th Jan

[Jamezilla]

Am going to go to Mt Buller for a spot of lunch on Saturday 17th Jan. Anyone care to join me?

No particular reason other than getting out and getting some fresh air.

Is a nice drive - but at about 500km round-trip - is a two-tanker (especially for thirsty GTRs). Also worth noting that it is a 'country drive' where road conditions may not be as kind to low bodykits as suburban freeways.

Pending interest, I'll sort out maps, waypoints etc

Also - this is all 'weather permitting' - if it's a crappy day, I'll stay home

In case you forget where it is - 3hrs from Melb:

James

taking the mafia staff car? Or something less conspicuous?

The following weekend is the Porsche Mt Buller Hillclimb http://www.mtbullersprint.com/ and I'm probably going with a mate in his 350 for the 2 days. Might be worth holding off until then.

[Horus]

ooooooh cruise on my birthday!

can I whore a lift with u james?

[NismoR34]

Im a maybe @ this stage

[AutoTrust]

Now that's a cruise! I'll be in on that, weather permitting, missus permitting :Oops: and tyres permitting. they still have plenty of tread on the outside officer!!

[hotsky]

SH*T james hehe..just when i would luv to let out the new skyline on a nice drive..its the weekend i am gona be in sydney hehe damn it

[GTRgeoff]

James,

sorry for the attempted hijack. Just had to make a choice and the Buller Sprint gets it, regardless how much I would love to come along. The social director has passed judgement.

So who's going to be singing....."We're going through Bonnie Doon......" ?

[Jamezilla]

Geoff

I was singing that damm song as I drew the line through 'Bonnie Doon' on the map

Ah - how's the serenity?

Porsche day looks really cool - but have other things on that weekend (SAU Drinkies)So will go for the 17th as planned. Less people around too.

Sammi - depends on if Louise changes her mind. She doesn't like windy roads... but wants to come. Will keep you posted as 'wait listed' for co-pilot seat

[Snowman]

Yeah but with the MtBuller Sprint on the following weekend Im guessing there will be a number of nice cars just getting a feel for the track.

Unfortunately I will be in Cairns so will have to give this one a miss. So I'll sit by the pool with a beer and think about ya instead James!

[Jamezilla]

The pool/beer combo sounds good

And good point about some cars being out for a 'practice' - would make better traffic partners than a Starwagon filled with kids.

[GTRgeoff]

If the Sprint falls through due to unforseen circumstance the SAU drinks sounds good. I'll keep it in mind.

[Guest INASNT]

sounds good. Should u down for this one

[R31Nismoid]

ARGH!

i cant make it at this stage.

mcuh as a drive up there would be SWEET!

altho... i might be able to wangle something.

The car will be ready VERY soon... but i cant drive till mid feb

[Greg]

I'm interested...looks like a great drive

Would it be possible to join the convoy at lilydale?

[Cortide]

i was thinking about seeing if i could meet you ppls at lilydale as well. not sure if ill be able to go atm.

[Scotsman]

Yeah Lillydale suits me.

[Jamezilla]

Re: Lillydale waypoint - sure thing. Where is a good place to meet?

[AutoTrust]

There used to be a big area in front of the train station, and you would not miss it if coming in on maroondah hwy??

[Greg]

I'll cruise down there now and check out the area you mention Danny, but I think it has become a private carpark now, for a factory. If all else fails Coles carpark will do!

[Jamezilla]

I know the Coles carpark.

Might be good to get 'supplies' also. Will work out a time during the week - most likely 10.00am or so?
