Why's that?

Because my car is not ready and I don't have time to work on it
Calvin . Get train over and be Scott's left hand man on the drive up?
Or $55 for the Firefly to Melbourne then Scott assist?
Fly to syd and ride with the tentacle
jamesinc;28472 wroteI don't see how it could be a serious show'n'shine. Think about it, everyone is driving hundreds of km to get there, the cars are going to pick up lots of dust and bugs on the way, I don't want people driving for hours to get there then having to spend more time just to wash their car again.
I won't be bringing my 264, still a lot work to do and limited funds at this point, it's going to have to wait until the 2015 meet ( will that be decided at this meet?) but I'll bring my XC70. This will mean a full detail on Thursday prior to driving up Friday from Canberra, leaving just before lunch (any ACT/NSW region residents want to form a convoy?). I expect a few bugs will be attracted to the front of my car however I'm hoping a car lovers wash facility or similar is available in Parkes or at least a hose (I'll bring the bucket and chamois)?

See ya all there!

I'm leaving just before lunch Friday and I expect to be there about 4-5pm. No rushing for me! I saw a heap of Highway Patrols along the Hume & Yass region today so avoiding a fine is a priority, plus would really like to enjoy the drive in my favourite car! :\">

PS: I'm thinking of calling into a winery if I see one that catches my eye, will be needing a coffee too!
I'm sure there's public taps
Philia_Bear;28471 wroteWe still doing the onesie lounge night?
I both want to see pics and do-not-want to see pics.

It'll be an amazing weekend - lots of fun, no doubt. I'm shattered that I cannot make it.


What is it with the onesie? The nekkid underneath or what does it? Exhibitionism?
Still trying to get one of my cars together. Where can I find the list of who is attending?
I haven't matched everyone to usernames, but:
@jamesinc @Rob @Raebird @Philia_Bear @Beema41 @SPT940 @A_Volvo_Driver @VolvoHordz @Crackatinny @volvodriverman @egads @OldnDecrepit @CJS80V8 @Dauntless @Boyd @Matt @Slowbrick @paul0075

There's 4 more whose forum usernames I'm not sure of, then there's one or two not on the forums, then there's @Vee_Que @Wino - I'm not sure if they're coming.

There may be people who have the flyer but have not bothered to RSVP (unlikely given how much I've chased it with everyone). Finally there's all the +1s and a couple of future Volvo drivers.
Will mine be the only XC70? What is the onesie thing? I've got a Volvo Polestar hoodie, will that do?
Yeah. Onesie not happening here. I think @rob was planning on coming in his XC @beema41.

I could care less if its just me
Though I bet I can get slowbrick and his misses into some as well
I went out and cut up some firewood if we want to have a fire or something
(Assuming somones car does not just ignite and provide alternative entertainment)
