Yeah that is probably true when it comes to Victor, there are other caravan parks down that way we could go to. Could make it Normanville or Goolwa or even Rapid Bay. Will call the victor caravan parks though before rulling this out, but need a better idea of numbers first.

Thinking he may be referring to more than just crashes mate. Break downs & stuff would also be on the cards for that long a trip.

I'd also suggest if we were going to go as far as Stansbury the car's being used are running reliably, & that people should try & bring tools & spare parts just in case.

Somewhere like Victor it's not so hard too go & get something if you really need it.

LOL we are driving skylines so i can see reliability being an issue :P

Yes well I'm a southerner too which explains why I keep seeing you :P. Figured it would be a bit further for us, probably about 2 & a half hours for us roughly.

I think one of the main points of this though it that it should be an enjoybale drive to get to the destination & then coming back too rather than just a boring highway trip. Personally I've never been over to the Yorke peninsula so I wouldn't know what the roads are like.

Another suggestion might be Wallaroo nice beaches, fishing, close to Moonta Bay and Kadina. Also a hour away from clare if your into wine. Trip up there is easy about a hour and half bit dry at the mo so mostly brown in colour. Some farmers weird structures on the way up to lol at.

i love Yorke Peninsula, it's heaps nice up there

but it's such a long drive.

It's amazing what different people call a long drive.

My wife's family live 6 hours away near Port Lincoln, and we'll drive there and back in a weekend.

I'm not a huge fan of 6 hours after a full day of work though.

Her father has driven to Adelaide and back in the same day a couple times!

He he, I'm into a bit of fishing too, won't post pics cos i don't want to hijack the thread. I'm up for anywhere as i said before, my car is reliable ;) (touches wood)

I have a annual trip down yorks, good fun, great people, nice drive, good fishing and too much beer :D But that's real camping, not this caravan park stuff :laugh:

I'm up for 1 or 2 nights, but if it's for 2 nights i'll need a bit more notice due to work. I'm guessing it would be the same for others tho.

If people are worried about reliability there'd be nothing stopping people from driving non Skylines. While the drive is part of the adventure, I think it's more the social side of things that comes first on this one :D Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree.

If we do go a bit of a ways i might be a good idea to organise someone with a trailer to ferry some gear across, big esky, bbq etc. we could chip in a couple of bucks each to cover the extra fuel.

Yeah I don't think 2 to 3 hours would be so bad myself. I'm used to spending well over an hour traveling each day.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
