Hello Everybody (Hi Doctor Nick)

My Bro sent me this link - and it has me salivating (no wait thats just the normal drooling problem... Shlurp)

Anyways, after the Bright/Hotham experience I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to go and see some others cane their chariots up a hill - and take notes for future Mini adventures up that way.

The opportunities for all out driving are bound to be fewer given that there will probably be a greater amount of Kojak's on the road (and more public) but I'm sure we could squeeze some in. Besides it would be a great event to watch, and even show the general public how much of a following the new mini's are gaining.

Anyways, I'm keen as a bean so will probably be going - anyone else is free to join me.

I think Robbo and Stu got invited to this event - not sure though...

I'd love to go up for a look though.

Todd

ScottyB · Dec 20th, 2004, 01:49 AM

Hi,

Stu is competing I believe.

I wanted to enter, but didn't get my act together in time. Hopefully next year

Ian Sherrin who competed in his mini in East Coast Targa and Targa Tasmania has also entered I believe.

It looks like a fun event

Cheers

Robbo

Todd! · Dec 20th, 2004, 05:00 AM

I knew someone had discused going a while ago.. I just assumed that it would be one or both of the green machines

Todd

StuJones · Dec 20th, 2004, 05:03 AM

Yep I am confirmed entry (just need to confirm my trusty navigator

) and will be travelling down on the Thursday before.

Apparently the spectator viewing areas are rather good particularly at the top of the mountain to see the fleet coming up.

Stu

Todd! · Dec 20th, 2004, 05:12 AM

So the car will be back, good as new... cool!

Shame Scotty cant come along to get some shots for ya!

Yeah c'mon Scotty - I know they say peer pressure is bad an all but... SNE.

I'll wangle time off if you do.
Be cool to see you there mate.

ScottyB · Dec 20th, 2004, 07:12 AM

*sigh*

This is really something Id love to see...

Leave it with me.

mrgolf · Dec 20th, 2004, 10:29 AM

I am torn... To go and watch Porsches carving up the alps would be too much eye candy, but not being able to drive the legendary roads myself???? Man, that would be tough. Passion is having a big blue with common sense right now. Get back to you...

GOGADGET · Dec 20th, 2004, 09:35 PM

I would have loved to go to this, unfortunatly I have work commitments I can't get out off.

There's always Mt Hotham Steve.

mrgolf · Dec 21st, 2004, 04:49 AM

True, Liam. But also, as Stu mentioned, there will be cops around "policing" the sort of driving I would be likely to do....

Todd! · Dec 21st, 2004, 05:04 AM

I hope we can still see the BRG in competition there....

StuJones · Dec 21st, 2004, 05:17 AM

Yes so do I......... four months wait for a replacement if I cant find where I left it
