[Zeuk in Oz]

[rob101]

i always phone ahead to make sure they have my horse and gun belt waiting for me at the airport.

[Boom n Zoom]

I just need a firm date for when this meet is to take place. Where really doesn't bother me.

Only thing is I need time to get my pass approved. :)

Cheers and Happy St Patrick's Day!

[genphreak]

[mattyb]

sweet. ive no garage facilities but its very safe around these parts so your cars will be fine on the street that way you all can have a few and camp here for the night. i've got a special guest vehicle appearance lined up so hopefully the weathers good and he'll be able to bring the machine down for the meet. otherwise its the aussie standard i guess, byo grog and let me know numbers for grub etc. Missus will be up at her mums so dont be bringin ur missus unless u have too. if u do let me know so i'll get the missus to be staying. I'm right to bungin on the bread and salad and breakfast, meat etc but if u want to bring whatever let me know. bring a swag or a pillow just in case. i'm not short of room but i dont have 30 honeymoon suites if u know what i mean.It would be great to have the crew here for a few brews and a feed with out having to drive anywhere and i'll tell u all now that when u get to my house i'll be collecting the keys and if i dont think your right to drive u wont be getting them back till the next day OK! so plan to stay and have a few. Look forward to seeing u guys.

p.s. for all the folks O/S. if u plan on a whimsical surprise visit give me a pm and i'll pick u up from Sydney- jeff, win,billb. gayle,lowell and you know who the rest of u are!

[mattyb]

bump: just to keep u all up to date and not forgetting.

[romus]

Hey Matty, thanks for the offer. I'm in too. :) It's gonna be awesome :D

[Bimmerman]

Would love to be there however duty calls and we'll be in timor! :( I'll be there in spirit and will have a beer or six for you all on the day.

[romus]

Tell your mate to get his priorities right and change the wedding date!

[wingman]

I'm in! Any Saturday in June is good, actually so is July, August... We should set up some sort of centralised communication point closer to the date to finalise details;what to bring etc. This thread is a good start though. Thanks for putting up your place!

[romus]

It's annoying, man. When I opened the damn envelope I look in - "June..."I think oh crap "...the 3rd" I go oh phuck! What's more I hate weddings but I have to go to this one. I could skip my own wedding but not this guy's. :(

Wingman and I have to just about drive past the airport so we could always do the honours !

We could always organise a stop at Harry's as well on the way ! :D

[mattyb]

thats a shame. when do you get back from timor?

[BigKriss]

I was talking to Matt last night and since it's on in 8 weeks time. I better start organising this now sooner rather than later. We should meet up in Sydney somewhere and they proceed in a convey to Terrigal. I'm coming from the south of Sydney, I don't mind meeting you guys anywhere. I'm thinking we meet in Sydney around noon and then head to terrigal and get there by 1:30 pm.

Here is the approximate trip (from George St, Sydney)

http://www.nowwhereroute.com/travelmate/mapmaker/mappage.aspx?type=Sydney_nsw_Terrigal_nsw

We will meet up with Matt for some pictures of the cars together near the beach and then head to Matts for the festivites. Whats easy for you guys, were do you want to meet in Sydney?

[Boom n Zoom]

I think......... :)

My Weekend Pass has been 'preliminarily approved' at this stage if I can get away from work on Thursday I will be driving down on Friday and possibly staying at a friends overnight.

Then onto the meet and *some* beers :) I have to drive back Sunday for Work.

If work is a pain I will drive o'night Friday. :(

[Bimmerman]

thats a shame. when do you get back from timor?
We'll be there for about six weeks, leaving sometime in may - maintaining sat dishes blah blah blah, no way to be back around that time:( , will try to be at the next meet though!:)
I hear you can get beer at the timor golf club, so not all bad, plus we get paid in US$!!! I feel a hangover coming on...

[GJPinAU]

May I suggest Maccas at Thornleigh, I can drive down there and it is fairly central to all prior to the F3

[Bimmerman]

Woo Hoo! We will be back in Oz by the end of may, looks like I'll be able to make it! :) Will see you all there!

[Paul in NZ]

<thinks>

hmmm 169NZ each way plus taxes arrive friday 8 am leave tuesday
any sydney ites want a kiwi mate for the weekend?

[mattyb]

paul. there is a train service from the airport that should be able to bring u up to the central coast, or u may need to change at central either way its easy. Gosford is the main station here. i can pick u up if u can make it and im sure one of the lads would be able to look after the return juorney. theres room here if u can come over.

cheers mattyb

[Paul in NZ]

If Paul made that effort he'd be getting himself a fast limo ride from the airport... ;)

[genphreak]

[genphreak]

uh on me bluffs been calledJust bring her with you, a jaunt to Aus for the weekend for a bbq with ur mates is a great way to keep it real... you can score cheap accomodation of the 'appropriate style' at www.wotif.com.au (http://www.wotif.com.au), anything in downtown sydney will be fun for a day on either side of the bbq day, and is only a 30min ride from the airport... **you should come buddy**!

[GJPinAU]

Great Greg, I'm on for that- just set a time... I'll pack my Bently and a few tools in with the beers, jic we don't drink enough of it... :) nick
If we aimed for 11:00am for a 11:30 departure. Takes about an hour from there. (in convoy)
Would that be OK Matty?
Maybe we should start a new thread for this?

[rob101]

i would come except i just started learning dancing on the weekend, its like 4 chicks for every guy. ahhhhh "chicks vs. cars: the final showdown"

[genphreak]

[mattyb]

[mattyb]

[mattyb]

[rob101]

[GJPinAU]

Too easy.

Out of favour with them at the moment. They asked me to find cars for the new 3 series ad (you've seen it - 2002 morfs into E21 up to E90). Found the 2002 but was stalled on the E21 and they ran out of patience - don't know if they used my sources but the ad looks great, don't spend enough time on the E30.

[mamilapon]

Guys, I'm keen to be part of that meet in june. What's the program? Any ideas? Do we spend the night down there or is it a day trip.

It's a fairly lengthy thread but worth reading to get the gist of what's happenning. Hope to see you there.

[rob101]

what would be the chances of me getting in on this, if i flew down for the day on june 3rd. I figure i need to have a look at some parts genphreak has anyway so it could be a good idea, as i could return with the parts in my check in luggage!

[Bimmerman]

It would be good to see you rob, probably wanna make it overnight though and indulge in a few too many beers:D
