Anyone else staying in Goulburn tonight? I'm holed up in a cheap motel in the middle of town... kind of boring... anyone want to catch up for a beer or 3 :beer: :)

Saw 5 highway patrol cars parked in the parking lot of a motel just inside Goulburn centre on my way in... musta been on their break, lucky me (actually I was being a good boy so no worries :P)

unrelated edit: was just scanning through the gridsheet - are there TWO mazda 2's hurtling around now? Noticed Matilda and Nick are both in 2's in group 5... either that or perhaps an administration error...?

I'm at the best western near the merino but am on my second drink and about to have some dinner so I'm pretty settled. Should be at Maccas at 6:45 if you want to convoy.

The HWP learn their craft down at Goulburn.

I'll be heading down to my mum's place at bowral (perfect halfway house!) then onwards in the morning.

Yeah Guy stopped in town for a coffee before heading home. #98 on the car. Good day today, have fun tomorrow!, look forward to hearing the reports.

And - whoever has the Winebago with the MX5 behind it I also saw in town - wow!! Nice setup, car and home travelling together. Envy!!

That'd be Rohan and Michelle in car #441. They drive down from Dubbo. Don't think you'd envy their commute. :wink:

Ended up making a few new friends down at the local bar - must have hit it off as one of them offered me a place to crash for the next track day (!)

So... who owns the black NB with P Plates sitting in the parking lot of my motel? Is it one of us? :P

1.2s off my PB, more tips from Zane, great people to talk to and plenty of cars to look at (even a 3 wheeler!). Great fun day!
