Cos we have a double garage to work in

I'm sure we will slum it and join you for a few drinks but we have kids and family too, had no trouble filling the ski lodge and only $55.30 per night

pleanty of spectators wanting accomadation too.

It is a 60 chopped into a ute

. But no where near finished. If it's done that'll be the truck. otherwise it'll be the 60 wagon

I think the limit is around 20 teams maybe a little more. Not sure when they announce the entrants, or how fast its filling, details can be found through the following link.

Web page has yet to be updated but the contact details are still vailid.

Do you have a playmate too?

Yep it's a bit of a let down with the updating of the web site

You can always lodge a post for a partner in crime

Post by **Ruffy** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 7:44 am

But if i lodge a post then i'll feel compelled to enter which i don't want to commit to. I have a problem with committment apparently.
Still dunno what i'll do. It's the same weekend as the Gramps NAVRUN so maybe i'll see how we're doing in the N/R series before committing.
Also wanna do the cliff hanger so i'll see how finances are!

Big Scotty & Bidders i presume, both with big V8's

Word is the white one is not entering, the blue one is still good to go though with a new partner.
