[CRoNic...]

Okay just had word back from work - at the moment, I'm 100% in!

I'll just need dates and stuff because I have alot coming up in the next few months, but most of the stuff I can work around.

Great stuff.. dates are in first post.. approx 11th-22nd Jan so I have booked with my work for monday 11th - monday 25th off = 2weeks off.

[CRoNic...]

Nice! I have my Midsummer Circus on Jan 10th, so I may be hungover for the flight but who cares haha.

I'll double-check with work to see if those dates are fine. I'm giving plenty of notice, so it should all be fine.

[HOSTILE]

Well guys, I will keep this open til after the Berri/loxton show ie. just over a week now and see how we go,

At this stage we have:

Myself

Dark.sky

Cronic

all confirmed,

but need more numbers to make it happen...can take another 4-6 people.

Get to it folks, check those dates and book time off...

[scandyflick]

mega keen, but i already have to scrape together $10k for another trip. dont like my chances of affording this one too.

[craig R33]

would be in, if i didnt have fatherly duties to stick to.

def. on my to do list, and i need to find a group like this to go with as my missus is all anti-overseas-tavel-n-shit-yo'

[HOSTILE]

Be good to have you along Craig...

As it stands the interest is a little low for this year... perhaps due to short notice.

A few have said they would be keen for 2011 Autosalon.

If I am still with my current job at that point I may try this again for the 2011 trip.... however may change employment half way thru the year which means I won't be doing 2011. Keep an eye out for a thread round mid 2010...

Autosalon Tokyo is always early-mid January if that helps with organising holidays over a year in advance!!

I hear ya.... have spent over 30 grand in the last 3-4 years travelling.... worth every cent too.

[craig R33]

if you organise it for 2011, ill be in for sure. no doubts about it.

[dark.sky]

So I'm taking it that it wont be going ahead this time?

[HOSTILE]

I'll leave it open for another week or so Dion, but it seems nobody is posting up things like "interested but need to check with bank/work/missus etc" so its not looking good, but I'm not gonna can it yet.

I still want to go, but need a couple more... probably four people (plus me) minimum to make it worthwile.

I know Shane (RBWARE) is a bit keen on going again also....

[Luke_ENR34]

Im in for 2011. But i'll be going for a month, with 10k spending money

Let me know when you go, ill go too, i wanna go for a longish time. I would like to visit some auto related places, but i would mainly want to go to visit Akihabara, and just see the culture, and sights...i am a bit of a anime/jap fan boy.

I wouldn't mind going mid next year, but if people are going in 2011, I'll go then.

$1750?

wow thats quite cheap, went to romania, europe last year in july, in their peak season, and i paid 3500 only for the tickets.

well worth the money though, seeing another culture and meeting relative i aint seen since 4yrs old.

Yep I have paid between 1500-1900 every time i have been.... except the last one.. we got a super special for $860 return!!

[JMW]

Will probably have to give it a miss in 2010 Martin, would would be keen on the 2011 one for sure

[Nightcrawler]

Sorry Martin, have only just noticed this post .... damn SAU is supposed to notify me when EVERY new post is made, but seems to be playing up lately.

Put me down on the 'probably not' list at stage mate - will let you know for sure by the Loxton show - have had some major expenses lately (including buying the V35, my $1,000 scuba gear and course I paid for this weekend), so have a slight issue with the missus regarding cash flow .... but I will work on her this week and let you know on the weekend if that is ok. TBH 2011 would probably be much better for me.

[HOSTILE]

No probs Andrew... will have yours and Krishys plate at Loxton also...
