To all of the Melbourne (and Geelong, Todd!!) gang (and anyone else for that matter),

Does anybody wanna hook-up and go the Melbourne Motor Show as a group?

Baker · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:26 AM

Sounds good... dunno if I'll be working or not when the date is decided though.

Keep me in the loop

doona · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:30 AM

Cool... at least I will have some back-up now when I fight witht the Hyundai GETZ Club Boys..

-Dan

Todd! · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:34 AM

I'll be there - but its the guys in the Matiz you have to watch out for...

Baker · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:34 AM

Heh, they'll be just like the ricers at my work - upset that our stock tacho is bigger than any aftermarket one that they can buy!

MickyD · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:38 AM

I'll be up for it, depending on when.
I've got the week after the GP off.
Usually I go in on the wednesday afternoon after wandering round the pits in the morning, but this year it looks like I might be working in the city for the F1 demonstration.

doona · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:39 AM

Yeah, but we dont get factory shift lights...

Matiz... do they still sell those??

So are you in todd... or are you scared that you will be to tempted to buy a new astra?

-Dan

Todd! · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:39 AM

I minterested to know more about this demo... I might have to come up for it.

Im flexible- but prefer nights.

doona · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:40 AM

c'mon Micky... give in to the dark side...... Dark Silver... that is...( the jokes keep on rollin)

doona · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:41 AM

I was thinking of the wednesday night??

Very Central.

-Dan

MickyD · Feb 6th, 2005, 10:45 AM

what time's it open until on the wednesday night?
only prblem I might have with that though is that I have to be at the track at 6am on thursday....
maybe a week night after a spin down the GOR? I know Liam was interested in going as well.

Todd! · Feb 6th, 2005, 11:05 AM

I'm sur its open til 10pm each night...

doona · Feb 6th, 2005, 11:07 AM

minigolf · Feb 6th, 2005, 11:19 AM

Yep. I'll be going for sure.

I would bring my mate with the fast ute if I could catch the bugger!!

$7.50.... all of my financial troubles are over.... never will I have to worry about money again.

doona · Feb 9th, 2005, 11:28 AM

Well after the huge ground swell of support and underwhelming response to this thread..... looks like a huge gang of us are off to the motor show...... I am sure that both of us will have a great time!!

-Dan
