[DJKOR]

Show & Shine made possible thanks to Steve McLaughlin of Torque Toyota at North Lakes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone. It's that time of the year again. That time is the:

TOCAU Annual Meet!!!

The itinerary is located in Post #3 below and will be occasionally updated over the next few days/weeks. It's enough there though to get the general idea of what is going on.

Basically the meet will be held on the Queen's Birthday long weekend (JUNE 10 - 13, 2011).

For those who are unaware of these Annual Meets, you can have a look at the following threads from the previous meets so you can get an idea:

Thanks to Steve McLaughlin of Torque Toyota at North Lakes, after some discussion today we have secured a venue to host our 'Show & Shine' on the 11th of June. This is the same venue where the 2008 Annual Meet was held and was an ideal location for the meet.

So with that said, start planning your holidays guys. I hope to see you there. Let's make it a meet to remember.

for some go-karting where you can drive as hard as you want within the relatively safe confines of a purpose built vehicle and track. The venue has BBQ's available as well as a "

Pit Stop Cafe

" so we can either have a BBQ lunch or you can buy some lunch there.

Sunday night we will leave open at this stage so people can do whatever they please depending on how the feel.

MONDAY 13TH JUNE

Home time!!! closer to the date most of our travelling members will know when they are going to leave so we will leave Monday morning open at this stage as well.

For anyone staying in Brisbane for longer, please let Daryl, Mick or any of the other Brisbane members if you wish to organize anything else to do.

[Guest]

Here is the map for the cruise route on sunday;

Clicky!

[Tash]

Hooray! Can't WAIT for this :D Please put me down as the first Victorian attendee

[oodee]

Thanks for the invite. I have holidays for the entire month of June this year but will have to say I'm unable to attend as I (and Stu) will be chillaxing on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean . If that wasn't happening I'd be there for sure!!!

[SecaBoy]

dee in with the first lame excuse... :P hahaha kidding... (SUPER JEALOUS! of the cruise part, not the marriage part! haha)

im there...

just saying from now... shot gun in someone elses car for the nebo run...

[zedder]

I'm in.

[STYLSH]

I'm in !

[Steven]

I'll be there

[Kenpo]

Count me in for the Victorians.

The drive up to QLD is going to drain my life, but I can't wait.

[69.NIX]

I'll be there :)

Now if I recall, last time the VIC crew was all pants and no SHOW. I can see 2 are already on the ball, but we need more.

FYI I will mention this at our cruise this weekend. Hope the attendee list for the Aunnal doesn't look like the attendee list for the cruise. Click Here to see what i'm on about

PS FYI: If people from VIC need a place to stay on there journey thru Sydney, please let me know ;)

[SuperDave]

I'm there.

[VF-X]

Put me down as a YES!!! Screw work for this weekend!

[Andrew357]

I'm down.

[Branno]

Ive got no idea what car I will have due to my crash, but put me down.

[Hiro]

Already got holidays planned for Qld in July sometime, so may not feel like 2 1000km road-trips in one month.....will consider it though, other big question would be whether to bring the Snoarer (excellent long-distance cruiser but thirsty and expensive) or the 102 (much better on fuel but uncomfortable on long drives)

[Soarer_Gurl]

I shall be attending, might not be there for every thing that happens due too work but will try hang out as much as possible over that weekend.

[trentmeyer23]

Providing i don't get sent out field for work, I am 100% keen for this.

P.S. Daryl, I really wish you had gotten somewhere closer to mine, 10-15 mins is a bit of a hike :P

[SILVABULLIT]

dee in with the first lame excuse... :P hahaha kidding... (SUPER JEALOUS! of the cruise part, not the marriage part! haha)

im there...

just saying from now... shot gun in someone elses car for the nebo run...

Mate front seat of the Hilux is up for grabs but bring a seat cover as I dont want any stains on the seat LOL

Meeting this thursday night at 8pm at the pool for all interested parties wanting to help out.

[SILVABULLIT]

I'm going to throw a few ideas around for this years national meet. At our last meeting the majority agreed that a shorter cruise on the sunday morning followed by an organised racing session at a go kart track would be good.

Plenty of time to stand and chat, race, talk crap about who was better and everyone goes home with all their license points and straight unbent cars due to heroism!!

Interstaters what do you think? It will prolly cost about $80 but think about the amount of fuel and wear and tear that your car wont see!!

Dinner on the saturday night would be in Brissy CBD followed by some night sight seeing for the photography buffs!!

show and shine is still on sat arvo with the meet up at my car wash early in the morning for all the dirty cars to get a bath. friday night would be for those who could make it with a meet up at our usual spot followed by a short mountain cruise.

Let us know what you think guys(and ladies)!!!

[Kenpo]

Go kart racing is so much fun! I did it for my 16th Birthday and wow.

Hell yea I'm up for all of that! So excited... Just need to starting convincing mummy and daddy

[RedSportivo]

I maybe miss-reading something but what actually happens at the annual meet is it just a plain meet? or we go for some sort of drive please fill me in :D

[DJKOR]

I maybe miss-reading something but what actually happens at the annual meet is it just a plain meet? or we go for some sort of drive please fill me in :D

To save me typing because it's early morning and I am getting ready for work, have a look at the past meet threads:

TOCAU NATIONAL MEET 2008

TOCAU ANNUAL MEET (2009)

2010 TOCAU ANNUAL NATIONAL MEET

[Tash]

Those meet details sound good to me Silvabullit - coming from Vic myself and Barb will be up there on the Monday or Tuesday as we're making a holiday out of it, so a go karting session on the Sunday would be good and we can start our trip back on either the Monday or Tuesday afterwards. As long as the $80 for the go karting gets you some decent time on the track I'd say everyone will be more than happy and its always great fun :D

A Friday night meet would be very good, I know I'll be devoting the daylight hours to cleaning the car, then Saturday morning another spruce up after going on the Friday night run before the Show N Shine in the afternoon, but that's just my plans :) Dinner on Saturday night would be really nice as would seeing the CBD, I haven't been to Brisbane for several years so it'd be great to do some sight seeing.
