What's the Caltex servo like Wayne? Is it safe to leave a car there, as in, does it have the area, or am I better off meeting Darren at the Tod Road servo and he leave a car there. At least that has plenty of room and less chance if an issue.
Just thinking that's all

Grant it is a very new and great servo and you car will be very safe there. Actually when I go to Melbourne I always call in there. Good coffee and the food is brilliant.

All good. Whoever can make it. This might be something in the making?? The inaugural Great Ocean Road Annual Torana Run.

Sounds good anyway!!

Looking forward to being apart of the founding team hehehehe
Weather is looking great for the day.

After reading Wayne's comments and noting his confidence, maybe I will head back to the dyno today to get the last little bit out of my engine! Maybe I won't be able to keep up?
Oh well Wayne, maybe we may have to settle it on the track one day!? Don't know that the Pricess Highway is the best place (time will tell)

(this could end up like the Torana Fest arm wrestle hehehehe)

Hey is it possible for someone to put up a pick off google maps or something showing where exactly the servo is please as I'm not too familiar with that side of town.

Cheers, Nig.

Sorry guys, I don't have anyone's number to call. & let you all know that I'm heading back home, my bonnet keeps opening & I'm shit scared its gonna flip over the windscreen. We got as far as warrigal rd but had to turn back, I tried calling in2 a few tool places but no one was open that early.

I'm so pissed off. I had all day yesterday 2 fix anything but it only started happening today.
Can you put up a few photos of the day for me.

Ill hopefully be there on the next one.

Cheers, Nig.

We are here guys at Waurn Ponds Maccas. Sorry to hear the Nig what a bugger. Next time.

If anyone is online don't take the first Geelong exit. Go around Geelong bypass and take Grovedale exit. When you get to lights turn left and Maccas is about 1km up road.

Awesome day yesterday and it was pleasure to meet all the fella's. Hopefully we can make this a yearly thing and I can be a passenger next year so I can put some frothies away.

 

Sorry to hear about the problems with the cars guys, hopefully you guys can get them back on the road without too much hassle.

 

I didnt really take any decent photo's of the day but I am sure someone will put some up.

Actually that's all I got in the end. My iPhone maxed out of storage. We had 7 cars all up for the day. Weather was brilliant and Great Ocean Road was relatively quiet. Hopefully we can do again and get a few more numbers.
