Hi all I have had a direct deposit into our Toranafest account of $40 with the description Toranafest Jeremy.
It was dated last week.
I have no entry forms from a Jeremy in the last couple of weeks.
Does any forum members know this person, as i need an entry form.

Sounds possibly like j7723 (forum name), he was hoping to make it as a passenger in my car to keep Danny company but Jeremy can no longer make it.....
If its another Jeremy then my apologies but I have no idea.

Cheers
Herne

Further to the above.... I just checked with Jeremy j7723 to see if he sent some money but no, it wasn't him...

NFI then lol

Thanks for the offer Rob. I have a new radiator sitting in the shed, just don't want to push the fittings through the core like the current radiator. Good news is I had a good day burning metal today, and the bracket is looking sweet. Just need to spend more time with the finishing welds, so all should be OK. I forgot how much I love TIG. So precise.

yes im not a big fan of pushing things thru radiators have destroyed one myself it is the ultimate pmo experience.anyway offer still stands if it turns to shit for you

All we have just hit 251 pre entered cars. This is 5 more than last years total.
The cost for entry now is $30 you still get an entrants trophy and a smaller goody Bag (No shirt etc).

Remember we only have room for 285 cars comfotably.

Hi Pete, I'll be entering on the day. Should I fill out an entry form before i get there?

Craig we will have entry forms for you at the entry gate. Just fill it out and take it to the registration area for processing.
If you fill one out prior it will save you filling one out on the day anyway.
It would help if you have the $30 ready before you get there. We try and get the cars off the main road as quickly as we can.

Regards
Pete.

I have been watching the forecasts for the past month and it changes daily.. I would be surprised if it is fine for both days..

In any case, if you plan for rain, at least you'll be dry.

Just a reminder if you are planning on setting up pergolas, please make sure that you have some hvy duty pegs just in case it gets a little windy!

G'day All

For those that are coming through Sydney and like me don't have an E-tag for the Westlink toll road or any other that you might use coming through Sydney, then go to http://www.roam.com.au/ and get a visitors e-PASS.

Saves a lot of hassle later and if you forget then it will cost an extra $20 or so for late payment.

Living in the country does have its drawbacks like no traffic lights, no traffic jams and no toll roads :spoton:

You will need to give your credit card details and the e-PASS will last for a month.

As I have been down this road before, :blink2:

I've just got mine again.

Now all I have to do is work out why the SS is running like a hairy billy-goat and then pack the Hatch .

Just might be a bit of a squeeze this year :wtf:

Regards .... Barry

Hey all.
What and where is "The Motel" where everyone is staying (Re BBQ) and what are the details for the cruise on Saturday afternoon?
I am bringing up my old silver Torana from Canberra on the Saturday morning. (Some of you may have seen it at the South Coast Nationals)

I also just did a photo shoot for EXTREME HOLDEN magazine so hopefully my car will be in a not too distant issue.

POP's SS......... Funnily enough my mother is your eldest daughter's Godmother, she used to live in Goulburn and now lives in Narooma (Sandra), im her son Adrian.
Not sure if you remember me but we will have to catch up over the weekend.

Small world Adrian :blink2:

Haven't seen your mum for quite a while and I can tell you it was just before she did her O/S trip.

Jodie, our only daughter has just had her 4th child, a daughter (3rd) called Charli, a sister for Sammi (7), Sophie (5) and Brock (4)

I will PM you with details on the Motel

you won't miss me at Toranafest as I will be the short grey-haired old fart with the not so good lookin' looks :blush:

Council is marking the sprinkler lines, as normal. There is no problem if you keep away from the markings.

Hi All

just to let you all know, we have hit 254 entrants :rockon:

and we are no longer taking pre entrants!!

With a little over 5 days to go, it's all getting very busy and exciting, to say the least!

As we have said before, we are capping the entrants at around 285 and if you still plan to enter on the day, :dontknow:

,
you will want to make sure you are there early as we have averaged around 35 "On the Day" Entrants.. So if you rock up late, you may not get a spot!

I will try and post up some information, like the Itinerary and Auction Lists, merchandise, as well as the (not final) Park Plan. Hopefully that will happen on Thursday.

There is going to be some very interesting cars at Toranafest this year. One that I am excited about having there, this year is very interesting...

All I will say is this. It is one of the most famous Toranas that is not a race car or a prototype!! Can you guess what it is? If you can, there is a T shirt for the first to correctly identify the car, and you need to be coming to Toranafest to win!!

Good Luck! :clap:

cheers
Mick

Winner!!

Come and see me on Sunday Chris..

Yes, the original car will be there, along with Michael and his family. He has graciously decided to display the car and this may be the last time that it is displayed at a car show.

Wicked!

Get publicising!

With all the latest attention to the chamberlain story, having the hatch there will be/is a massive drawcard.

Will come find you on the weekend.
