 |

Shannon's German Autofest is on on Sunday 28 September 2008.
http://canberravw.com/events/autofest2008.html
My son and I will be going and taking his 924.
As an added bonus the Floriade is on at the same time so you can smell the roses before or after the show.

yeah but the directions are easy - turn left proceed for 150km, turn left proceed for 200km etc. You'd be there before you knew it.
This is the problem you get when you swap civilization for warm temperatures.

Townsville is civilised- we even have color TV and talking movies.
My turn for the TV next month.

Only a few hours for me. If my car is back on the road by then I'd love to go down for it!
Cheers,

No offence, guys... from my time in Sydney, the jury's still out on the 'civilisation' bit. Ha ha.

Hey Gav,
If you need an extra pair of hands for any of that work just PM.
Be nice to have another silver 924 down there.

For the record mine's white, but thanks for the offer! Might call you on that at some point - but as of Saturday we're rolling (and stopping!) again! At least enough to get it re-registered in a week or so.
