To all clubMINI members and MINI owners

clubMINI NSW is inviting all MINI owners to join us on a fabulous 14 day tour of Tasmania next February 10-25 February 2007.

All details are in the attached link (if it works, and if it doesn't just email me at events@nsw.clubmini.com.au and I'll email you the itinerary)

http://www.clubmini.com.au/nsw/files/tassie0207.pdf

We will spend 14 days touring all the best roads in Tasmania, seeing the amazing scenery, enjoying the delightful food and beverages, arts and crafts and great social times. Even MINI Australia is supporting this event with supply of a support vehicle and spare parts, they will be mailing details to all MINI owners and even assisting with the gala dinner planned for Valentine's Day at Coles Bay.

We have secured an excellent discounted price on the accommodation and Spirit of Tasmania but we need to secure our bookings asap and you are asked to provide a deposit by the end of June to secure your booking, see the itinerary for all the details.

I am coordinating the event on behalf of clubMINI ( this drive has gone National and all clubMINI chapters are invited, and non members in MINI's are welcome too) if you have any questions just post them here for me to answer.

Lets MINI in Tassie!

Hi Vic,

have you thought of keeping the first post updated with attendees the way they do it in the UK forums?

might help to keep the thread in sight if no one is willing to make it a sticky

Vic,

Would love to come along, just have to see if I can work the Canada ski trip with another clubMINI couple around it. Oh, to have 6 weeks leave instead of 4.

Come on Ken, Canada has nothing on Tassie, just think of all those lovely curves (in the MINI that is

))

How could they! Doesn't affect me, but the Syd guys and gals might have to drive to Vic to get the ferry!

http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au...5E1702,00.html

Hope the sale doesn't go ahead before Feb next year.

Yes unfortunately it looks very likely that the Sydney to Devonport Ferry will be sold off sooner than later, if it is, then us Sydney/Canberrians and NSWelshmen and Queenslanders will just have to drive to Melbourne and back home from Melbourne, drat more time behind the wheel of our MINI's

And the tour price will be less too! See another silver lining

Always look on the bright side of life

Attendee list has been updated too. Come on you guys and girls, enrol now for the greatest MINI Drive of all time

Don't worry Bob, we are doing at least 20 special stages during our Tassie tour. But maybe not quite at 220kph as did Robbo

Halk speed will be ok.

Bummer - just head on the News that the Spirit of Tasmania will cease operating from Sydney at the end of August. Looks like the NSW & QLD people will be driving back from Melbourne now.

Arrhh yes, but look on the bright side, our tour fee is now $160 cheaper and we get to drive our MINI's

for another 1000+k"s

A win win situation.

And now that we have raised it, we have to confirm our bookings by the end of June so if you are thinking of joining us on this amazing MINI Drive, please contact me asap.

Smurfn · Jun 5th, 2006, 09:08 AM

A real pity about the loss of the ferry though

Would love to Vic, but the timing just isn't right for us, so maybe next time

2bob · Jun 5th, 2006, 12:03 PM

Vic does this mean a run on The Great Ocean Road on the way back??

aussiesupermini · Jun 6th, 2006, 02:12 AM

Hi All,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but just reading the Daily Telegraph page 14 6 June 2006 and as of August 27 the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry service is being discontinued. The ferry service is being sold as it would cost $50 million to continue it for another 2 years. Just wanted to let u know so u can organise this trip. Good luck guys.

Cheers

Ann
