I will see you guys up there for a hot weekend in more ways than one. I think a few mobile numbers are around so we will catch up or if everyone leaves their 2-way radio's on channel 16 even in Bright then we might be able to find each other. Safe trip up or down everyone.

That was a cheap price. How come your not putting it on your car Dimitri.

Anyone for a swim? My boys jumping into a great rock pool near Bright.

Get rid of the sun roof. I did and my car was much cooler on those sunny days.

Wow Jimbo that sounds a hell of a drive. You will have a ball. Look forward to castching up. Are you arriving Friday arvo?

Chris what time are you and Simon getting up there? 2ish on Friday? Bring your togs. :-\

Peter and Pauly maybe we can meet you guys up at Falls Creek for lunch........by the time you guys get there? I also made Mt Buffalo on the Sunday because it is less of a drive and for those wanting to leave on the Sunday it will make life easier by heading off after the BBQ lunch up there.

OK guys I just called the info people and got some good news. The road from bright is open all the way to Mt Beauty and on up to Falls Creek. We will do Falls Creek drive on the Saturday and Mt Buffalo the Sunday. Mt Buffalo does have electric BBQ's up there so the barby is still a go ahead. I recommend we buy some meat and bread and have a lazy lunch up there. Falls Creek will have a cafe open for us as well. I am thinking either way early starts could be the go to miss the heat then in the arvo we swim or stay cool somewhere unless those are still keen to keep driving in the sauna we call a Zed. So I am confirming everyone seems good to go. For those arriving Friday arvo when it is meant to be real hot. I might take you all for a drive to this local water hole for a swim. It is awesome.

Good morning Gents, I will call Bright info this morning and see if the road to Falls Creek is open as an option to replace the Hotham drive. Given the hot weather I think the BBQ at Buffalo might be a Subway sandwich affair as fires might be a problem. Stay tuned and I will update here soon.

OK John, let's work on a 9.30am hook up in Lilydale out front of the Bunning's I think it is. Place on the left in the service road. No worries Dale see you at Euroa. Act guys we will have to catch up maybe at the big brewery near the Water slide into the Oven River. Good place for a beer around 3 on Friday maybe? Oh and bring your togs. It might be well into the 30's and I found an awesome water hole for jumping 5-10 meters off a rock into massive deep river. Great fun.

You slackers not taking the Friday and Monday off? Well if you like maybe what we should do, depending on the weather is meet up in Bright town around 11 or 11.30 then we can all drive up to Mt Buffallo for a big BBQ lunch or meet up there around 12.30. Sort of a meet and great and beer if people are happy with that. Then the next day we might drive to Hotham if people are keen. Either that or Falls Creek.

Good morning gents. Well let's get some organising going here for the Vic boys. At the moment my plan although flexible is to leave Melbourne around 9.00am. We would be heading up the Melba Hwy so if anyone wants to meet up At Lilydale let me know. From there we will connect to the Hume Hwy at Euroa (Just before Benella) at maybe 11.15. Maybe we can meet up with the Ballarat boys there. Same with Wes & Maggie. From there we can convoy to Bright, possibly stopping at Chuckers along the way for lunch which is just past Glenrowan. ETA for Bright maybe 2.00pm or just a tad earlier on Friday 8th. Let me know if this works for the Vic boys or you want to change anything. Don't forget to bring your CB Radio's. I will bring a few BBQ implements as I would like to have a BBQ lunch by the lake (Sat or Sun) up at Mt Buffallo if everyone is OK with that. Looking forward to catching up with everyone including the ACT/NSW guys for a few beers. Everyone going please throw up here confirmation of you plans and times.

Hi Boys, I was in Bright for the long weekend or just yesterday. This event is all good to go ahead regardless. The will be no postpone. The fires are no where near Bright. They are up near Harrietville. They were nearly out after some heavy rain last Friday but lightning has flared them up again. There are heaps of roads up there and the Buffalo road is still all clear. We are still two weeks away and fires will come and go during this period. All will be OK to head up there.

Awesome. Me thinks a you got a lot of work ahead of you (and cash) to get that in the Zed. Still would be a great project. At least you can keep your Zed running in the mean time. I still think an engine like that might be better in a 2+2 for the benefit of the longer wheel base. But I guess I am a little biased. Ha I would be looking for 650-700bhp out of it otherwise you might as well work on upgrading the Chev. Keep us up to date as progress moves a long. Cheers

So I booked some accommodation for Easter. Does anyone know if "Registration" forms are out yet. Had a quick look on the NDSOC site but didn't see anything. But I might be missing something. Cheers Craig

Wow where did you get that Mick? Looks like a bit of work if you are going to put that in.

Hi Gents, Jodie confirmed she is now coming, so I just booked a room for us at the same place. Not long to go now. I am looking forward to a great trip.

My guess is the key barrell. Zeds are natorious for this. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I would start there.

Yeah I thought it might be. Great to have you guys on board. This will be a great trip. We have 12 people now confirmed. A shame a few more Vic boys haven't put up their hand. But that's the way is goes. Speak soon Chris.

Hey good to hear you are on boards Chris. Who's the other name for the list? Scott can you add that to the front page along with Dale. I look forward to having a beer with you and a burn around some hills. I know a great BBQ beside the lake at Mt Buffalo so when we are up there either Sat or Sun I think we should buy some meet and chill for a bit whilst cooking up a storm over the fire. No dirt roads and great place for some nice photo's.

Good work Lurch. Looks like a productive day. Bruce you better get this car ready for the Bright trip. No more excuses. Remember we have these cars to enjoy the ride.

Hmmmm very Datsun colours there Rev. Do you really want to attract that much attention when driving on the road. I don't think that is you. OK if it was race exclusive. To be honest I am over the Red, white & blue Datsun colours. Also think of resale on the car. You know you might sell it going by past history. Ha So you are definately narrowing your options for resale and price. I loved your old orange paint job. Looked great. More people would love that colour than what is on the picture. Just my thoughts. Rev Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Cheers Craig.

Ha Ha Hopefully not so hot for the drive up and back. Once we are there the mountains should keep the temp down. So steam the Dimmy's on the trip up.

I am going. Haven't booked yet as still not sure if Jodie can make it. I will know soon after Xmas. Craig

What a bargain.
