I'll be there and John too. We'll probably take both cars too. But pleeeeeeeeease can we NOT stay the F1 at the airport, there is another F1 in Melbourne isn't there? Last time we stayed there the receptionist stole a digital camera from Kris' room and Kris kicked up such a stink about it that we were all told to leave and never come back

There will be a few petrol stops along the way aswell as 1 major stop (food, rest). I havent calculated it all just yet, but we'd obviously work in a petrol stop or somewhere for you guys to meetup without it wasting too much time.
mrfool> can i take it your fellow orange hachi 'org86t?' will be joining you/us?

There is also an F1 on the corner of the Hume (may be called Sydney rd by then) and the Metropolitan Ring road. Very easy to find and a little closer to town, though maybe a little further to the track than the airport one.

Hey,
Put me down for the convoy as well. I havn't arranged leave yet, but that shouldn't be a problem. I was planning on taking 2 weeks in Nov but that has fallen through, so they will owe me a favour by Dec.
When is everyone planning to return?
and has anyone started booking accom. yet? perhaps if we all book as a group we will get a discount or something?

Should be bigger than last time. We already have more cars (so long as people dont pullout). Chances are we will be coming back on the monday.. leaving monday morning again. Or as the date draws closer we'll see how everyone is with getting time offwork and we might extend it to leaving on tuesday.
The only thing I regret from last time is not actually getting out and about and seeing parts of Melbourne...

Hey, Just noticed on another forum, the S12 guys are also organising a national meet same place same dates (Drift nationals)
Just a heads up that accom might become a bit harder to find for a large group, and also some of the NSW S12 guys might like to travell with us if travelling on the same dates?

You seem to be overestimating how much money I earn. I know people who deliver pizzas make more than me. You can tell me you dont have a friend to split the cost of fuel/accomodation? Lonely driver are we?

Im sorry, but most excuses ive heard about ppl not coming are just pathetic.
i agree with pauly, show some fucking dedication.
The community is tight enough to ensure almost all cars be fit and ready for the trip, theres enough notice to get holidays, its not THAT big a country or a drive, and its an experience dammit.
Last i heard, a guy in WA was keen to head to adelaide, join us, and continue on to melbourne. If that becomes the case im more than happy to feed and accomodate him here prior to us all leaving if need be...
The hachi roku spirit is strong in some of us, but is it strong inside YOU? Ask yourself this
lol im really crapping on now arent i... bwahahah
time to start an SA thread methinks, gotta get some people confirmed for the trip.
cyas there

Seriously, what better way to meet new hachi enthusiasts. Before last year, I knew nobody outside of QLD, now I've got good friends in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide who are the most friendly, chill people i've met. Most of all its an experience, from driving though about 10 different weather conditions to getting lost in Melbourne at 3am with 20 other hachis. The whole trip ended up costing me a shitload after fuel for 2 cars, accomodation and crash repairs. but guess what? It was a fucking blast.

I get about the same economy as you, and the trip will be about 850 k's there, according to the estimate up top of this thread.
850k's/300k's per tank (conservative estimate)=about 3 tanks. add a tank for suburban driving each end = 4 tanks = about 200-250 bux for fuel each way
