You're right about the logistical side of things though. Hard to implement, but could be something to look at down the track.
Same. I'd trust both the EB and the LTD as well, they both have Low kms especially the EB and I have Total Care with the RACV so even if my car was to die or if someone elses does I can nominate any car to be fixed by the RACV so there's not a worry in the world for me. I'd take the LTD though if we were to go Interstate as its more Luxurious and it is auto so Amanda (SBR_1) can drive it as well while I relax hehehe

Tassie is a fantastic place. I go over once a year to see family there and the scenery is awesome and the air quality is the best. You dont wake in the morning with headache or tierdness, but very refreshed. So I would be up for it and I could help out too with directions where to go as well.

And when I flew to Melbourne to pick up an EF 5spd GLi the car was fine until we got to Tailem Bend (bout 150kms out of Adelaide) and the rear main seal completely shat itself and it dumped all its oil!! lol

No deal to E-Series drivin Adelaide-Melbourne.
Thats funny ive got a 5spd ed and this thing can be driven anywere around aust, i guess it comes down to how good your mechanic is and how well you maintain your car.

And also how mush you thrash the car. Remembering if you thrash it all the time you must always go over all the minor bits that go wrong as they lead to bigger probs.

If I had the money for fuel...I would be able to drive mine interstate tomorrow, easy.

Sounds like a good idea, more going with Darin's idea on having simultaneous meets

Mix it up into groups. sa/vic, wa, tas, vic/act/nsw (those around and near the border), nsw/qld and have a video of every groups meet and post it on here.

Very hard to do but if it was planned well and people had heaps of notice (say four to ten months) then it could be awesome.
