Anybody want to get together again? How about on the 9th February? Do we want to meet somewhere to chat? Or do we go for a bit of a drive? Coffee and then a drive?

Suggestions?

I'm in! :-D I'll even throw my vote in for coffee and a drive(it'll be nice to see all our Super Uber vans in the daylight), with maybe a coffee afterwards 8-)

Maybe this should be linked to the general discussion.

....and when you get home - sling a beer down your neck in commiseration at me becoming another year older! :shock:

Damn I wish I wasn't so far away!!

Think I'm gonna have to save up for another trip over......

Am I to understand your birthday is the 9th? Well Happy Birthday then!

So does that mean you can't make it this Saturday?

What time were you thinking, because that will dictate if I can go or not...

I think we should try for early- mid afternoon, just so we have the benefit of daylight (knowing my luck it will probably rain!)

I concur with the mid-afternoon timing: 13.00h (or 1pm). Also, start somewhere like Clover Point or Dallas Road in front of the big totem and finish at/near Gyro Park (there's a couple of coffee shops there). Nice little drive through ol' Victoria.

I might be able to do that - would be good to meet you - you know, put a face to a name, a van to a face, that sort of thing....

In order to get the 'show on the road' as it were, I intend to leave Dallas Road at 13.30h. I estimate it's about a 20-30 min drive to Gyro Park. That puts us at Gyro Park around 14h and gives us a couple hours of daylight to stand/sit around, sip coffees, take pictures of each others' rides and chat while the kids play on that crazy concrete octopus and the kooky dragon. =)

The big totem, that's not far from mile zero, right?

I'll be there. 1pm sounds good to me. I enjoyed the last one without my Deli and this time we'll both be there.
:-D

Happy birthday Mystery Machine! Look forward to meeting you in the future if you make it over to the island.

Sweet, gyro park is 5 mins from my lair. Getting an inspection on a '91 exceed tomorrow, so with a bit of luck I'll be in a Deli in time! I'll be the one driving very, very slowly...
