Is this an "import" only cruise or are the muscle cars allowed to come too?

It's actually not that horrendous. 15l/100km on the way home.

Pretty good considering it ways 2.5 ton and is powered by the most uneconomical V8, but god I love the noise it makes.

Will make it to the start point at the least, might follow up at the very rear depending on how the kids behave themselves

Hey Mark, how do you get on with the cops?

I have no intentions of doing anything stupid, however I don't really need a defect station going over my car with a fine tooth comb...

If that's all good, then I might be tempted out, depending on work.

We have an exceptional relationship with them...they are coming to our home to plan the cruise.

Last year we had 700 cars and 5 defects for VERY obvious things (that is not too bad considering 80% were imports).

The same guys will be running it next yr....they operational stratergy is maximum saturation...min intervention.

No guarantees can be given but these guys escorted us last yr...so hopefully all will be good.
