Scotty89 · 08-31-2015, 08:58 AM

Oh that looks like a fun spot!

Ending in Liliydale really? Legit, just go to Adelaide.

Quite happy to set up a weekend run to Adelaide and back, with an overnight in the SA wine country...

Pyro335 · 08-31-2015, 05:52 PM

1. Socket (Oct 18, full course)
2. vtl, any dates listed, full
3. Harms, any dates listed, full course
4. Pyro, (Oct 18, or 25th - have things on both previous dates

)

Any of the shorter drives proposed look good, generally once you start getting passed 3-4 hours of driving it is a long time. Keeping in mind that some of those start points are already 30-40 minutes away.

Should definitely have a lunch stop somewhere as well

Not sure if my cellar would handle a Barossa trip! :P

turtleman · 08-31-2015, 07:36 PM

if you guys do decide to go on a 3-4 hour cruise. Count me in.

Socket · 09-01-2015, 07:12 AM

Sounds like a 3 -4 trip is preferred
Sweet, if we can get four or five starters I think we have an event for the backl half of Oct

Mfp · 09-01-2015, 09:33 AM

Count me in if its for the 25th

Scotty89 · 09-02-2015, 06:43 AM

I'm in for a 3-4hr drive.

If the rest want to do 7-8hr drive, just do another lap.

Trev88 · 09-02-2015, 07:10 AM

I'm interested in this but will only be able to confirm it as it gets closer to the event!

Ah nevermind looks like I thought the start was where the finish was, makes more sense to go your direction anyways

Tried to put the start and finish near freeway/major roads so peps can get to and from easy

timot · 09-02-2015, 06:27 PM

Yeah you guys don't wanna go down Acheron way unless you're AWD!
I did it with my S4 and I had an absolute blast since I was lucky enough to have no oncoming traffic!
