You better read the rest of the post randymx5 as you will be the only one there tonight!
P.S. The melbourne mob had Okibi as guest of honour at our weekly meet last night. It was great to put a face to the name.

Hey Gail, sorry i've been flat out the last week, and completely forgot to check this event :oops:

I should be there!
Dont worry spitty I too will probably be in a toyota (and for that reason i dont mind a slow drive!) as my dad wont let me near his car if he smells a hint of rain!

damn i need to stop working on my house and work on my 5!

Btw spitty 'the bath' is close to the cinemas on the parade on the opposite side of the road.

Hey dont you work on the parade Adam??

Thanks!

I'm unsure at this stage as I have prior commitments which aren't quite finalised as yet...

Departing sunny Melbourne today so should make it to Adelaide without a worry. Fingers crossed.

Going to take my time and stop often for photos along the GOR.

If I can't get online when I hit Adelaide i'll call RedShoes and let her know everything is still on track.

Looking forward to it. :mrgreen:

Sunny Melbourne???? Over cast and STRONG WINDS! Take it easy Dave and I hope the weather improves. We enjoyed your company and we hope you enjoyed your time with us here in Vic.
Red Shoes, we hand Okibi over to you, be gentle with him and I'm sure the S.A. mob will show him the same hospitality that we did here in Vic.
Cheers!

We hereby do solemnly swear to uphold the Code of the 5 and to show Okibi as good a time as we possibly can considering you've only given him to us for 1 night....

Gail I'm afraid I've been scratched from the dinner due to a double booking... However I'm still keen for a quick meet and greet at 5:30pm or just beforehand if possible with those who are going for a squirt??

If not, when is the next Adelaide get together (if there are regular meets)?

Wow what a day ... talk about strong winds !

They created massive dust clouds and when it rained just after Torquay the drops were full of dust, I kept having to use the washer bottle to wash the dust off the windscreen (wish I had a JDM y0 one like Fatty).

It took about 45 mins for the rain to start containing enough water to wash the dust away.

The great Ocean road is soooo much fun in the wet!!!

Fuggin WRX, Merc and Porka drivers ... GET OOT OF MA WAYY !

Managed to do some dodgy overtaking in the rain because some pricks don't understand that you're meant to pull over and let hoons past.

Tried to get photos of the 12 apostles but it was raining and i think I just got photos of rain on my lens.

Made it to Warrnambool but had to mess about for an hour because the town was out of power so could get fuel/dinner/check in to a motel.

The roads were wild .. covered in braches and leaves, lost count of the number of trees across half of the road. There was a 50 meter section where a bank had collapsed and taken all the trees with it.

Scary coming head on with a group of cars because their side of the road was covered in bits of trees.

Saw a truck that had managed to flip over in the wet/wind.
