  • Oz Volvo National Meet 2014

When are we thinking this will be held?

There aren't really any decent driving roads near Parkes, are there?
I will bring a 2m wide Oz Volvo banner. Not sure what we'll do with it at this point. Maybe just tie it up at the motel :P

I'm also trying to secure some kind of group rate at this really nice motel in Parkes.

I'm keen,
Can turn Rob's 1/2 hour of 'how you doin' into about 5-12 hours :)
That seems excessively expensive. Will there be a more budget friendly alternative?

If not, I might just drive up for the day.
Come stay in Tassie for massively expensive :-D
$235 is if you have two people in the room. Yeah there are lots of motels in Parkes, I just picked the nicest looking one! What's a reasonable budget?
Assuming that your talking about dinner, bed and breakfast for 2 people, then I don't think the $235 is that expensive.
Edit: Just looked at the Motel's webpage and it does look pretty good.
Correct. It looks like a pretty fancy dinner too.
The 360 had a bitch fit in forbes (close to parkes) on the drive back from Melbourne, only seems fitting it should have the chance to do it again nearby... \m/
That motel looks pretty nice indeed. I think the bar will get a nice work over while we are there too :)

How long do we think the drive to Parkes will be from Melbourne?
Those prices are pretty decent I think! Qld cruise to Parkes?

Ab Major not minor. To be enharmonicly pedantic.
Griffith has a round about.

Not usually up for big expensive trips.....but this is a couple of months before my freedom gets seriously curtailed for a year or twenty....and I haven't been to Parkes since I was 5...and if all goes to plan the 142 should be ready by then... So I'm showing interest.
