Attention All AstinaGT Members ~ BIG MEET 25th October - Page 2

KittyKatSmack · 03-10-2003, 08:55 PM

If I get a definate idea of numbers and how much ppl are willing to pay etc. I will try to get a group rate booking and try a different number of places.

If it is the same weekend as Octoberfest, we will have to book soon tho!!!

The 18th is MotorShow Day... I will actually be in Sydney that day, so can I get definite numbers by the previous Thursday the 16th and I will book for us on the Friday the 17th before I leave for Sydney? Or I can do the Monday 20th.....

What do you guys n gals think?

9ish :shock: :shock: :shock: at night :shock: :shock: :shock:
By then I'd want to be in Holbrook with a beer in one hand and a young lass in the other :wink: Yes I'd like to have a chance to do the tourist thing but I'd like to be awake at the time.

*down off the soap-box*

It is a seven hour drive from Somerton to Canberra. Maybe a gathering somewhere along the way and a morning cruise together to the capital.

Yeah guys - from a road safety point of view you don't want to be driving all night....

Any chance of taking off early Friday arvo? or even straight from work? At a guess 9 hours to Canberra is a fair run so a 1am arrival in the ACT would be better than a dusk to dawn run. Gives you guys ome sleep before checking out Canberra for a good day and a half or so before returning back

As for things to do - while you're here we'll make sure there's plenty of good photo opportunities, fun stuff and havoc to be raised.

We have a couple of good Lakeside spots where the cars can be positioned to take in the cars and the nation monutments like parliament House, War memorial, etc ect Three good scenic lookouts - 2 are 'traditional' for their Canberra views the third is behind my work and give a great 'different' outlook on Canberra.

There's stacks of attractions that are unique to here, the fun stuff like Questacon will let us all show our maturity etc But hey there's a lot here and Kitty and I will make sure there's plenty of tourist brochures at hand so people can say "how 'bout this place" rather than second guess what people want to see

If you're up for it we could cruise to check out the 'foolly sik cruise' scene in Canberra - but that's mostly a highly policed Friday night thing with much less happening on Saturdays.

And then there's Bangers run out to Fyshwick to assist peopel with fireworks purchases and anythign else the nations capital offers!

Well that's what we can offer anyways

SehnKhan · 04-10-2003, 10:20 AM

Put it this way, I went from AAMI building on St Kilda Road Melbourne on a Friday afternoon at 3.30 straight to Bowral in NSW - got there at about 12.30 at night, that included a half hour break and only doing about 40km/hr for the first hour of the drive (long weekend traffic from the city was hellish).

Oh, and no, I will not be attending this cruise.

pr1mo · 04-10-2003, 10:30 AM

i gots work on sat and am taking the previous weekend off togo to eden

doesnt look like i can make it :I

cheers mike

Critter · 04-10-2003, 11:00 AM

I am up for whatever accomodation seems reasonable for the Saturday night.
Book whatever and it's All Good.

KittyKatSmack · 04-10-2003, 12:38 PM

PR0N!!!!!!!!!

I know we have all heard of a pub crawl, but an Adult Shop Crawl?

The photo's will be amazing, and of course the obligitary gimp suit shots!!!

hahahahahahahahahahaha

dfvadr · 04-10-2003, 03:10 PM

im with critter gee i dont even no his name lol

Cosmo Dude · 04-10-2003, 08:58 PM

Don't get me wrong.
I intend being there, it is a long drive but not what I'd like to attempt that late at night. It's 110kmh from Kalkallo to Albury then pot luck to Yass and then (If you were a NSW parlamentarian paying for a road for Victorians and South Aussies to access the capital) very busy, narrow and slow.

Rod

pr1mo · 04-10-2003, 11:33 PM

bah night driving is the only way togo :P the last major trip north from the victorians last year nettes speeds of just over 200km. memorable moments, Dogo kicking his V6 back into 3rd gear whilst traveling at 145kmh, the guy in the lancer and who could forget dans efforts on the way home in aulbury :P

all done at night mind you

cheers mike :P

dfvadr · 05-10-2003, 12:14 AM

hi guys i personnally love driving but even i wouldn't want to drive all nite then do the day thing an have a nite out as well [sat]
i would come home from work shower quik bit hit the sack an kick off 2-3 in the morning putting u there round midday meet up for lunch kick back for an hour or so then i think the body clock would be more appreciated off that .
but hell im not doing it good luck hope to see u all there

Critter · 05-10-2003, 08:51 AM

Well I already have pr0n orders in my street, so the Adult Shop crawl is all Good

and whatever crawl is going on......

Chris

Cosmo Dude · 05-10-2003, 04:18 PM

I'm just going to blow off school for the Friday and cruise up on the Thursday (Study day). Do the touristy thing and swallow some of the local grog

The PRON crawl on Saturday should be a laugh. Critter, you are a DV8 *complement* :lol:

Rod

Rupewrecht · 06-10-2003, 09:56 AM

heh i don't care when we leave, was just a suggestion

KittyKatSmack · 06-10-2003, 10:47 AM

You guys are all welcome here whenever you get here.

I have to work Friday morning, finishing at lunchtime for you Cosmic Rod.
So if you are around, np's with doing some local touristy stuff.

Pr0n crawl will be fun.

I was also thinking Questacon. It is an interactive "edjumakashonal" place but supposedly a lot of fun. I haven't been there, but was thinking it would be funny to see everyone's competitive spirit in that place!

A couple of hours or so there after a liquid lunch? Possibly!

In all your planning guys, don't forget to think about when you will be leaving too.

As for driving at night at mental breakneck speeds..... all I can say is that I would be foooooooooooolllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee ssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkk worried about you lot!!!
The Australian Fauna love our roads at night, and so do the RABBITS!!!

So why don't you all see how many of you are coming to Canberra, and see how many of you can talk your bosses into Friday/Monday off work? Or half days or something? That's what holidays are for ain't they?
It will be a lot of fun and even more fun if you don't have to break your neck or get a huge fine getting here!

*takes off the nun costume now*

And, I only have two people for accomodation so far!

Cosmic Rod, do you want accomodation for Thurs/Fri and Sat nite?
Dan, do you and Vix want a room for Sat nite only?
Dave?
Jynx?
Big Mal?
Mick? Are you and Leanne getting a room near the boys?

Who have I forgotten?
Who else is travelling?

Please let me know what's happening!!!

cheers!

dfvadr · 06-10-2003, 11:16 AM
