    yep we'll need to be a bit more organised in that regard, I have a few ideas which we can discuss later.....I'm sure Ash does too.

    I also have a camera mount (similar to the one Mark had last year) so it might be a good idea to mount one inside a car for a full throttle run and avoid the shake from using it by hand. ;)

    Can't make it but really glad the numbers have got up to where they are. If I remember correctly this is how it went last time as well with a rush at the end. The plan to set the date and move on has obviously worked well. I'll look at it next year.

    Have fun and bring back heaps of videos & photos.

    Cheers

    Thats a shame Mark, but yes you'll get to see all the pics and video footage (can send you a DVD).

    Good idea - since we will be sharing a bed, I mean a room, we should also get a nice car to drive together. Thanks Gekko, much appreciated. :p

    is it an E46? If so I think it'll have enough mumbo to keep up, definately no worse than the Boxster we had last year.

    I think it would be good to have the M5's little brother there too....

    Between you, ash & scud...
    IS IT OK IF I GET TO DRIVE THE DAMN THING FOR A BIT FIRST :)

    Edit: I've only had it a week and scud got to see it before me and you two would put more kms on it than I have had a chance to yet. Going away for a few weeks this weekend so no long drives until July now :(

    Feeling very jealous now that I won't be going. Looks like everything has pulled together in the last few days. I'm sure it will be just as awesome as last time.

    Is Motor coming again this time? I thought I saw something about it. I must admit that part wouldn't impress me again at all but the rest of it will be fantastic.

    Then why don't you come with us! :)

    Mark is talking with MOTOR about them coming along, though this year they will bring something that can match the other cars (could be really special ;) ;) ). The only reason I want them along is for the potential of seeing a very new car out on the road, the other stuff is a bit annoying I suppose.

    Yeah me too, though I'm not a definitely no yet. Work is unsure about letting me have enough time off to go to NZ so you never know.

    Well Gekko, you and I will have to have some fun here by ourselves. Let me know when you are going to be back.

    Absolutely!

    I am flying in & out of Australia until the weekend of 5th August. If you don't go, what about we do something on the same weekend as them. I can't afford the four days because of work commitments but I could handle Saturday night. I have a place up the Sunshine Coast and the hills behind the sunshine coast are pretty good.

    Cheers
