SYDNEY CONVOY! THE LIST: (who is in!) Bathurst-91 Definate (if car is 100%) Sprinter-Saurus Definate DMonk86 Possibly John K Definate Garth Definate Des Definate UUP-46X Possibly AE86slut Definate mrf_ool Definate WHITCHY + Friend Definate org86t Definate J-AE86 Possibly 13 cars so far. ROUTE: (be it scenic or direct, or a mix of both) TBA the THREE possibilities. 1. HUME HWY - Most Direct - Speed Cameras/Regular HWY Distance: 850.76km Time: 11.49hrs (more like 10-11hrs) 2. PRINCES HWY - The Coastal Drive - Distance: 1057.62km Time: 23.00hrs (my estimates would say 14-15hrs max) 3. HUME HWY/SNOW MTNS HWY/OMEO HWY - Hume until just abit passed canberra, then we take a detour through the snowy mountains (inview of kosciusko) then back onto the hume further south. Distance: 1018.34km Time: 17.58hrs (realistically Id say 13-14hrs max) These are acording to (whereis.com.au) I very much doubt The Princes Hwy route is 10hrs more! thats nuts. Obviously once upon a time they had 60 speed limits there. But its only 200km more so were actually looking at about 2-3hrs more or less.. Same goes for #1 and #3 NOTE 2hrs+ more than we need to does sound a tad too much. But here is my theory. We could take the Princes Hwy on the way there and if it really does turn out to be WAY too long and not exciting then we simply take the Hume on the way back. Better than taking the hume there and then taking prices on the way back only to find its a waste of time. And besides.. Your probably going to drive to melbourne a few more times in this lifetime and it will be along the hume hwy... Lets see that coastal horizon! But I do agree that it is abit too much. So thats why I searched for OPTION #3!!! STOPS: (refuels + 1? major stop) TBA DEPARTURE FROM: (location) TBA ;;suggestion --Shell @ Centenery Dr/Homebush Bar Dr/Roberts Rd/King Georges Rd (Chullora/Bankstown) its the road to the M5. ;;suggestion Homebush P6 DEPARTURE DATE/TIME: TBA Friday 10th of December ;;suggestion --Friday. 6:00am. ;;suggestion --Friday 10:00am. ;;suggestion --Friday 10:00pm. either way we need to avoid traffic. Otherwise your looking at adding 40min sitting in traffic. And I think leaving any time Saturday is not a good idea. This would mean we only have 1 night and 1 day for 1600km of driving. ARIVING AT: (locaton) TBA ETA: (estimated time of arrival) TBA ACCOMMODATION INFO: TBA suggestion;; camping at the event?. I doubht this will be allowed. But I guess camping in the hachis would save on accomodation. david attenborough voice here we see one of natures most splendid occurances, a pack of hachi rokus nesting in their natural habbit.. COST INFO: $__.__ petrol for 1700km of driving $__.__ for food. $30.00 for cb/walkie talky radios from tandy/dicksmith/jaycar (they go for as cheap as $60 for 2. So perhaps some people could split the price and have 1 each). Dick Smith: http://dseau.resultspage.com/search.php?sessionid= 416b13470faac59e273fc0a87f9c0758&w=cb+radio&am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;I1.x=0&I1.y=0&I1=Go&site= Tandy: http://www.tandy.com.au/cgi-bin/tandy.storefront/4 16b13370fa72cd4273fc0a87f9c071e/Export/catalogs/CT G0004799 Jaycar: http://www1.jaycar.com.au/ As someone mentioned before, this is a must have on a long drive like this. It'll keep the group together and you can have your say aswell as just generally talking crap for entertainment. TRIP SCHEDULE: (this will be made more clear) so far its based on leaving friday morning, please feel free to add things, you dont have to tag along but might aswell do stuff whilst down there; ;;suggestion --friday will involve the trip down. --friday night, arive at accomodation. hit the town for drinks. --sat morning(recovery)/lunch drive (in group) to afew spots for 'sight seeing'/lunch = meet up with all the hachis for bbq/whatever then head out for a relaxing drive see what melbourne is all about. --sat night find a road outter city... depending on how good it is either stay out late, or head back to city for more drinks. --sunday head to calder park to watch how the melbourne region do their thing/meet with largest gathering of AE86's in AU EVER!. Pics/vids/talk, all that. --late sunday arvo (or night).. or perhaps monday head back up to syd! Ill do some research on clusters of petrol stations along the way. Im not sure about you guys. But Im looking at 190km-200km per tank. So thats a fair few stops for me! Everyone make suggestions to my little list above and ill add them. Also if your in 100% (on near it) say so and you will be added to 'the list'. This will possibly be the largest AE86 meet for years to come. So it must be attended.
