Convoy to VW Nationals

[Tim]

Just spoke to the Mrs about this one Jarred. She is keen to tag along (so we can catch up with other friends in NSW during the course of the weekend).
Is it possible to include us in your accommodation enquiries although with a room of our own if that works out.

[bluefrog]

Jarred is the place you're looking at around Ryde??

[Jarred]

yea will have a look at getting just a single room if you want.

The one place i've looked at so far is the AMG serviced apartments in Ryde. Not committed to it yet though, just infase there are better options out there

[Glynn.]

so far its only me and andrew heading down, any definite where you guys will be staying will be good to crash and catch somewhere with you fellas?

[bluefrog]

MK2GTI when you thinking of leaving on Sat??

I'm gonna update the main list later this morning btw.

[Jarred]

Hi Guys,

So far the list for accomodation looks like this:
Me
Matt
Dylan
Ryan
Mitch
Simon + 1
Zale + 1
Sam
Reece
Josh Foff
Cam + 1
Tim +1 (Sep room)

Need confirmations ASAP from:
Tony
Fatmir
Dado
James (Lorenz)
Glynn
Andrew
Todd
Rob

Though it might be a bit harder to do the one night stay (or stand) might be able to work it, depending how many rooms we end up getting/how ever many they sleep/how many spare beds etc there are.


Also, the two places we're (Matt and I) are looking at, one is serviced apartments which are good, the other is the ex-sydney olympic village, which is more of a holiday park and has more cabins. Both are about a halfie from the show grounds. The holiday park is a bit further out than the apartments, but it will have more room for cars running around, and I think even has a pool. If anyone has any other suggestions, or preferences, let me know, otherwise we'll just pick the cheapest place!

thanks!

guys, i just went to sydney and back...

seriously, my car is not low at all compared to many of yours, but you're going to need to raise your cars at least for the journey up and back, if you want to remain sane to any degree.

i was riding my bumpstops something SEVERE last night on the way back to melb - it took me 12 hours, at some points only doing 70kmh because the roads are.. well, fcking something to be proud of, and STILL some of the hits (at 70kmh, in a 110kmh zone) were enough to make my phone fly out of its bracket, and for the suspension to bottom out on the stops.

looking low is cool but my back's sore, im worried that im going to find leaks or some sht in the dampers, etc etc...

ride high, bring your tool kits, get low for the show, then ride high on the way back...

[bluefrog]

yeah I found the roads to be absolute shytehouse when I went up over xmas ... they're letting the trucks fck it up big time!

I found an easy solution however - drive in the right lane which is about 500% better! Not entirely legal, but who cares ..

You just need ninja skills to dodge all the bad spots.

[vdubin]

Or Airbags
