S A U - Act Cruise To The 2013 Nationals In S.a ?

[Sinista32]

Hey all,

If your not a Mushroom you would know by now that the SAU Nationals 2013 is being held in South Australia this year.

It's a bit of a trip but reward yourself and take some well earned time off work and make the Journey.

I encourage you all to consider as these are AWESOME events. Much fun during the days and shenanigans in the evenings.

A number of us ACT peeps represented @ Shepparton Vic in 2011 and Goulbourn NSW in 2012.

Best opportunity to meet the rest of the Skyline community and have some unforgettable times.

This year the organisers have done great and organised BULK accommodation. Meaning everyone can stay at the one venue.

Sounds like a blast! Unfortunately I'm on the wrong island... Lol

[Sinista32]

Yeah but you would receive an award for the furthest Travelled if you show up with your GTR

That's worth it alone ....

[eric.marsh.bnr32]

Lol I would come if I could! Someday I'll find my way to those shores!

[k_d]

i assume you ar going richard? i have family there so im keen!

[Sinista32]

Yes I'll be going and I'll be driving the GTR.

Bit of a Nostalga trip also. Haven't been to S.A for about 25yrs.

Grew up in a number of places in SA from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Smithfield plains to Inverbrackie up in the Hills. (Army brat)

Got my first tatt on Hindley street near Rundle Mall ! (ye old eagle - lol).

I'm going to go for a beer at Eagle on the Hill too. Never be the same as the original.

I remember the Dukebox and Astroids/PACman/Frogger table game, bucket of hot chips and a fire engine

Small stone pub and had to duck to get through the doorways. Awesome old pub.

Even tried tipping the soccer bus over on Devils Elbow when single lane and it turned in on itself.

richard, have you got details of your convoy yet?

meet, leave, eta, etc...

[Sinista32]

No, a bit far out. Just seeking ACT interest at the moment.

Also want to see when NSW crew may cruise past and see if it suits.

Will plan with Kyle and any others and see how we lock in with each others thinking.

Accommodation will be the first thing locked in/down.

[k_d]

Mad. We could meet nsw crew at gundagi?
I take a pretty strange route to adelaide because driving along hay plain frustrates me sitting on the speed limit lol

[GTRKat]

I hate the Hay plains so much I can't even tell you how many times I've done that freaking trip.

I wish I could go and have the GTR in my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Adelaide) however too close to my US trip in November.

Look forward to seeing pics and footage, will be an epic convoy!

I can take your car for you!!!

[GTRKat]

I can take your car for you!!!

When hell freezes over perhaps

[Anfanee]

I'm 90% in for this. Got Family in Waikerie (2 hours towards us from Adelaide). Ill possibly cruise up with you guys, and stay a bit longer. Got to finalise plans.

[luke gtr]

When hell freezes over perhaps

I can arrange that.

[Frosty]

may tow my car down for sh**ts and giggles

[k_d]

I too have done hay plains one to many times (every year for the past 21 years)

not sure if ill drive or tow yet. will see what happens. if i tow it gives the advantage of having more space + if (when) someone breaks something/has a problem we could shuffle their car onto the trailer. something to think about i spose

[Anfanee]

The Drive isn't that bad.Doing it in 1 day is fine. People need to harden up.

[GTRKat]

We do it in a day as well. It's just shit boring and I can think of a thousand better ways to spend a day of my life!

[Anfanee]

your are driving the GTR, what could be better?
