For all you Oz members out there, I'm going to be in Sydney for about a week at the end of October, and would sure appreciate having the chance to meet up with some of you, and have a beer of course /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. I know its along time out...but the wife likes to plan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Thats Indy car time on the Gold Coast(about a 1000klm north of Sydney)--should be worth adding to the agenda--babes,beaches,fast cars and we're ready for fun! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And plenty of GT40's. If you decide to come up to the Gold Coast, more than welcome to stay with us. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

And can always pop you over for a talk to Peter Ransom at GT40 Australia.

Gold Coast is a great place to be during Indy week. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Craig,
Is it easy to do an overnighter? The wife has said I can go off for a day or two, as the trip is meant to be for my 30th, and see some of you guys (my isn't she generous /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) I would really appreciate being able to come up and see you guys, or down to Robert in Melbourne.

Go on you know you want to---better start rubbing some salt into your skin (to toughen up) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif as it's 99% sunshine on the Gold Coast
Definitely worth the detour /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Let us know if you can come up and we will organise something. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Plenty of GT40's up here as it is the home of the DRB(GT40 Australia) replica. Also lots of Cobra action, if you are into them as there is 2 manufacturers here for them as well. Maybe you could bribe Denis to show you his XJ13 replica, should be finished by then.

Craig, Chris,
Have managed to convince the wife for a day in Brisbane. Is that OK? 28th October.

That's a Friday in my books. I don't mind taking the day off work, good excuse anyway. Offer still open for accomodation and will be able to organise a tour of GT40 Australia and few other sites of interest. I'm pretty close to all the interesting kitcar manufacturers.

I can pick you up from the station, but if you want to make your own way, they have a nice new train service that goes from airport and basically runs express to where I am on the Gold Coast.

Let me know. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We will see if we can tee up a get together with the other GT40 boys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Craig,
Thanks for the offer on accomodation, but 2 1/2 years of travelling has at times brought benefits, namely a free night in the Conrad in Brisbane /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'll drop you my number and details nearer the time. You are a star /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Conrad, definitely a nice place to stay. Sounds like the price is right. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, closer to the date we will organise something to keep you occupied.

That's what so great about this forum. It's now become a dating service. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Regards

Brett, the week prior to the 28th is Indy week, I.E.
Thur 20th to Sunday 23rd. A great time to be in town if you like, parties, fast cars and even faster women. If you can change your Itinery to that week we can guarantee a good time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Pete,
Sorry itinery is locked and flights are all booked in with Qantas etc. However, I'm sure we can have a good day anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Leaving for OZ next week - still OK for beers?

Tim, Craig, Pete, flatchat et al,
Are you still OK for beers and meeting up - especially Pete, there's no way that I've watched your baby get built and then not get a chance to see it in the flesh /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The itinery is (once the West coast detour has been done):
Sydney 21-28
Brisbane 28-29 (its all I could get in allowance from the wife /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)

If we're still on, I'll PM you my mobile numer etc.

Re: Leaving for OZ next week - still OK for beers?

Sure thing Brett. No GT40 yet /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif, but plenty of (cold) beer in the fridge. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Peter D, Chris C et al, how about a get together??
