    Thats better.
    Note that in Dunedin in 1961 the car did not wear shields as by then it was in private ownership and not a team car. A lot of tossers don't understand that.

    The roads as you say are very good. But in the winter they can be very dangerous. A friend had to drive his father's C Type Jaguar back from the Queenstown Motor Musem to Christchurch. Going over one high mountain pass his hands froze up on the steering wheel. He made it back and the car went off overseas to its new owner

    I looked into it, about $3,000 return.

    Leave the car there for 12 months and do 2 x 4 week trips.

    Makes sense then.

    KIAI or I would organise it but we’re busy with GAD/GG.

    Maybe you could step up and organise it all for us?

    Ok, I’d do a Tassie run that you organised, maybe around October each year?

    Let’s make a name up for it.

    “Ashpan’s map of Tassie”

    AMOT.

    Yep, at least 7, probably 9 as it’s 4 days traveling for brisbanites, let alone you.

    I’ll start a new thread.

    perhaps offered 2 options a 3/4 day and 7 day run ?

    7 days you would see the full island at leisure , 30 r 4 days would be say 450kms a day .

    It's not worth it for Q/landers,or SA/WAers, to drive 4 days for a 3/4 day event.

    In fact it's a waste of time getting on and off the boat for anyone for a 3/4 dayer IMO
