AU Falcon Road Trip To Melbourne - Page 4

Bucknaked · 23-02-2006, 05:19 PM

On Monday before we leave Melbourne, I'll be making a trip out to Jim Mock to buy something for my car. Shouldn't take long to be fitted and I would say that I'll be out within the hour. Providing of course they can fit me in. Would anyone be interested in a trip out there as well. I will be checking out of the hotel around 7.30 am and making the trip to JMM depending on what time they open. For those not wanting to join me, you guys can make you arrangements to leave the hotel when your ready to head home. Just be aware that if you do decide to join me out at JMM, we will have to go through some tolls. We can pay for these over the phone when we get home. And for the Sydney guys with E-Tags, I believe your Sydney E-Tags can be used in Melbourne. Just don't quote me on that

Anyway, have a think about it. I am just waiting a response from Jim Mock to my email I sent through today. No plans are definate yet. But this is something I am considering.

We did this last FPV trip. One person made a Monday morning appointment in Melbourne and managed to catch us at the Glenrowan Service Centre.

All E-Tags can be used in QLD and VIC

Bucknaked · 23-02-2006, 08:41 PM

It's like anything. When push comes to shove.

Bucknaked · 24-02-2006, 07:14 AM

Alrighty. I have the list which i'll be making the booking. I haven't heard back from my PM's from LushAU, AU3 Chaser or XR8 Ute, so I'll assume they are still coming and I'll book them each a Queen. I'll send another PM. to reconfirm it with them.

Cheers

**Mechan1k** · 05-03-2006, 08:53 PM

Buckie .... can you send me the details of the accommodation ... Bec would like to know details ... hee hee.

Cheers mate.

Bucknaked · 05-03-2006, 08:53 PM

No worries. Will send you the info now.

Actually, i remembered, the info is in this link

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~dwayn...e/RoadTrip.pdf

Page 4 as the details with the link to the hotel there

**Mechan1k** · 05-03-2006, 09:22 PM

Cheers for that.
I think i might have to get myself a GPS before the trip too.
Bec needs to go to Geelong (well ... she really wants to go there) ... she is thinking about purchasing horses from a few places.

Bucknaked · 05-03-2006, 09:31 PM

You taking a horse float with you?

**Mechan1k** · 08-03-2006, 02:23 PM

LMAO ... ummm ... I hope not ... cos fuel economy would be crap. I'd be bringing the Territory if i was going to tow that distance though.
Nah she just wants to go and have a look first before purchasing (I hope not we have too many horses as it is).

Horse transportation trucks are good for interstate travelling .... hee hee.

Bucknaked · 25-03-2006, 08:54 PM

Hey guys. We have exactley 4 weeks today that we will be in Melbourne. With Greenrob pulling out, I still have his room which i have not cancelled. I know theres at least one or 2 more heading down as well. I have to cancel the room, but I would sooner have someone else take. maybe even the guys from SA who are coming over as well. I am going to send PM's to those guys.

The room is a Queen and its $95 per night.

I have 11 rooms booked, if anyone else wants a room, they will need to let me know so i can book it, or they can do it themselves

FalKeen · 25-03-2006, 09:18 PM

looking forward to the break, should be a great event

Bucknaked · 25-03-2006, 09:22 PM

Its gonna be great. So looking forward to getting to Melbourne and meeting a few people I've only ever spoken to on the forums. The guys in our group and a few in Melbourne like Rob and Mick. Also looking forward to seeing if Caspers kids are into G&D as much as their dad is

You can take the room I didn't cancel. Now I'm not sure what time the guys are leaving from Sydney, but if you contact Stiddy or one of the other guys, they should be able to give you those details. Good to have you along.

**Mechan1k** · 27-03-2006, 09:51 AM

I might be staying and extra night ... and coming back on Anzac Day ... will be too rushed for Bec and I to look around ... so we are going to hang down there and extra day and heading in the CBD and look around (B'day shopping for Bec as well ... her B'day is on the 19th).

I'll see if i get time and ring the motel and see if i can get an extra night on the room.

Bucky ... is it all booked under a group ... or seperate names ... or what ... hee hee.

Bucknaked · 27-03-2006, 11:27 AM

No worries. I sent you a PM with the details

Hee hee ... Bec got bored at work the other day and rang the place for me ... and she organised the extra night there ... isn't she good ... I should keep her. LOL

They also said if others are interested in doing the same they have a ton of vacancies for the Monday night to stay as well. (Just letting everyone know.)

Bucknaked · 29-03-2006, 07:04 PM

Ok Folks. Just on 3 and a bit weeks to go, have all you guys coming from Sydney, have you arranged your departure times from Sydney. As per the original plans we were meeting you guys at Yass at 9.20. Is this still the plan?

At this Stage there is only me and AU3 Chaser leaving Canberra.

FalKeen · 29-03-2006, 10:18 PM

sounds good to me

sydney guys havent got set plans at this stage but i reckon a meet time of 6 at Uncle Leo's and departure at 6:30 would be about right wouldnt it?

DENKO · 30-03-2006, 12:02 AM
