#2!! AE86 Sydney -> Melbourne official convoy thread (time for round 2)	Wed, 14 September 2005 10:13

SYDNEY CONVOY! (again!) It's time for round 2. [01] DAY REMAINS! THE LIST: (who is in) time to confirm yourself. postup in this thread and you'll be added to the list. -bathurst91 -ae86slut -mrfool -org86t -ae86drift -uup46x -playa_one [07] cars so far. DEPARTURE DATE/TIME: Thursday 8th of December (08/12/05) Time = 6:00am. :: Get there at 6:00am. We'll be waiting for everyone to turn up and not leaving anyone behind. However We must depart before 6:30am. DESTINATION, ETA -Melbourne for: Largest gathering of AE86s in Australia's history (trying to beat last years record of 35) & Round 5 of the Drift Nationals series @ Calder Park. (11/12/05) -ETA: Anywhere from 12-16hrs after departure. 9:30pm @ the latest. DEPARTURE FROM: -Homebush Bay (Olympic site) P6 Carpark/Zone. ROUTE: We learned some lessons last year. And those were to seriously not stuff around. No matter what was said before we left we somehow wound up at a petrol station after 10min of travel for 30min+. Needless to say the planned 16-17hr trip turned into 20+hrs of driving. Yes the roads were brilliant, but the boring 11hour freeway trip on the way back was a welcome one. So after much deliberation here is the suggested plan; Info: Freeway until Gundagai (abit past halfway) then we head to the mountains for a 161km detour for a winding road attack which will include the Snowy mountains national park and hopefully views of Kosciusko before re-emerging on the freeway at Wodonga. Distance: 1015km Time: 14-15hrs. COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR:: TO MELBOURNE:: Info: THE Coastal Drive. Distance: 1057km Time: 22hrs (thats what it took us) TO SYDNEY:: Info: Freeway. Distance: 854km Time: 11hrs (thats what it took us) STOPS: (refuels + 1 major stop) \|inbetween \|from_syd \| 1. Marulan \|153.6km \|153.6km \|98ron (ultimate) 2. Gundagai Sth \|215.8km \|369.4km \|98ron (optimax) 3. Corryong \|184.0km \|553.4km \|95ron (bp) 4. Wodonga \|123.0km \|676.4km \|98ron (ultimate) 5. Euroa \|157.0km \|833.4km \|98ron (ultimate) The 1 Major Lunchstop will be Wodonga. Canberra guys you can meet us at either Marulan or Gundagai Sth petrol stations. Im estimating our arrival times at these stations as follows; (I will be in touch via mobile to confirm though, depending on which station you guys want to meet us at) Marulan: 9am. sharp. Gundagai Sth: 11am. sharp. ADDRESS': BP EXPRESS MARULAN SOUTHBOUND \|Hume Highway MARULAN COLES EXPRESS GUNDAGAI \|Cnr Mount St & Middle St GUNDAGAI ACCOMMODATION INFO: F1 Motel @ Melbourne Airport. -$69.00 per room per night (3people max per room) BOOK NOW!<-- CLICK THERE TO GO TO F1Motel site and then goto BOOK NOW We are staying 4nights 8/12 -> 11/12 ROOM SHARING INFO: ROOM1: bathurst-91 \| uup46x \| playa_one ROOM2: ae86slut \| +partner = full. ROOM3: ae86drift \| +partner = full. ROOM4: mrf_ool \| org86t \| brother ROOM5: sprinterboy \| toycam \| friend ROOM6: ? Organise room sharing amongst yourselves and postup to keep me informed. I want to makesure everyone is set for accomodation. COST INFO: -$_92.00 each for 4night accomodation (IF YOU HAVE 3people in your room) Otherwise its $276 for 4nights. 3people max per room. -$_50.00 For A CB. (Go out and buy one if you dont have one Dick Smith is a good place) -$200.00 One-way (calculated at 4stops @ 220km intervals @ $50 a tank) This would be less on the wayback due to direct route. But also consider $ for driving in and around Melbourne. -$_35.00 Drift Nats Entry _$___.__ ? Associated food/outing costs. CB's are 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 (and boy did we do that). Also note:: Petrol stops are calculated to be on the safe side. In some cases we may continue straight through stops depending on how everyone goes with petrol. TRIP SCHEDULE: (this will be made more clear) please feel free to add things, you dont have to tag along but might aswell do stuff whilst down there; TBA [Updated on: Tue, 06 December 2005 12:31] [Report message to a moderator]
