Hey Campo, I reakon in future like next year or something a few of us could organise things like going to Datnats from here, kinda like someone way up north starts it off then who ever else is coming joins the convoy as they get to that town. That way sheduling holidays with work could be sorted out and all that other crap.
I wouldn't mind taking my car to some other point in Queensland, the futhest I've been from Townsville with it is Ayr and Charters Towers. But it was stock and not "tired" then so ensureing everything was working fine would be the go.
