    Let's have a show of keys...

    The proposal is for a small group of cars to catch the ferry one Friday night (soon) fom Melbourne to Tassie, drive all day on Australia's best motoring roads and overnight in Hobart. On the Sunday we tackle the rest of the state before catching the overnight ferry back to Melbourne that night. Exotic cars preferred. Passengers are welcome subject to seats being available.

    South Australians can drive over to meet the ferry and back the same way, perhaps along the GOR.

    Any takers?

    Pehaps it should be mentioned that if some want to stay longer for more driving, sightseeing, debauchery etc, they should not be deterred.

    Beama has offered to take us all to church on Sunday morning too - after the pub is shut.

    If my mate is able to get his Exige back on the road in time after his accident in Targa I reckon (provided that you consider it worthy enough) we may be able to join in, however it is not sounding so promising at the moment (repairs may be looking at 2-6 months). Otherwise I'm happy to give you ideas/advice if you want them but, don't worry... I wouldn't attend in either of my far-from-exotic vehicles. :D

    Ash, can you send links out for a private discussion on dates etc?

    Beama, any thoughts on itinerary? Please include the road to that crazy mining town in the West.

    I figured blokes as there will be a lot of car BS being talked and my wife isn't interested in that (or in driving all day)

    Yep, but I think it's best we discuss this on the dark side.
