HI guys, I will be joining in if I qualify.

I drove down from syd this afternoon and spotted a blue GT on the way GTP666 and a grey GTP YER23D (was that datamine?) tonight while cruising round town.

Is the a self serve carwash anywhere in Canberra?

Hi Pete. Would be great if you can join us. I am sure you have read the meeting point info.

Where abouts in town are you? I am aware of a self serve (old) 'Carlovers' out my way in Weston Creek, but I cannot vouch for the rest of town.

Regards
Stu

P.S. Wow these B series are really common aren't they!

Yes they are getting a bit like bums - everyone has one .


As far as car washes go there is one in Tuggeranon adjacent the bus depot and one in Fyshwick on Canberra ave just down from office works .

Cheers, yeah passed the meet point on the way down.

Thanks for the tip on the car wash. I am over in Dickson area and I found a few more car washes round here but if none of them are brushless I will be over your hood bright and early.

Edit: found one in belconnen which will be easier to get to. See you at the meet point

Was good to meet you GT-Pete, and good to catch up with the rest of the crew, i would say the weather kept the crowd away as it was a freezing day over in goulburn, was also a good drive back to dane's for a cuppa, thanks everyone for a good day, kim and myself really enjoyed it

Glad to hear that it was an enjoyable day. My apologies for not making it - got called into work in the wee hours of this morning. Would have been nice to meet the new faces.

Cheers

Thanks Glenn. Generally, I strut the catwalk in an XL, but obviously, all manufacturers are different.

Actually thinking about it, I will be in Victoria next meeting - so, please hold that thought.

Hi guys thanks for a great day and it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Props to John McGrath ford for the breakky, lunch and tea as it was the only thing keeping me from freezing over!

I will definitely time my Canberra visits to club events in the future.

Enjoyed cruising with you guys (especially final the run down the back way into Canberra).

Cheers!
