Title: Meet in Sale, Victoria
Post by: oversize on 05 October 2012, 05:32 AM
Hi Guys n Gals,

For those of you that can make it, a few of us are heading down to Sale for a bit of a catch-up (or first meeting)....  It is a fair way to go, but we'll be staying down there Saturday night to make it more relaxing.  In addition to the excellent company, there's some great touring roads down that way which will make the trip more than worthwhile!

So here's the details:

When:  Saturday, 10th November 2012
Time:  1pm
Where:  Jack Ryans Irish Pub, Sale, https://plus.google.com/100158517044017078959/about?gl=au&hl=en#100158517044017078959/about?gl=au&hl=en
Partners invited
W116 optional but encouraged!

If you can let me know how many are interested I can book a table or two if necessary.  Hope to see you there!   :D

Sadly due to illness, poor weather and a lack of driveable W116s we've decided to postpone the lunch and subsequent cruise.  We'll advise ASAP with a new date.  It'd be nice to make it 9th December to coincide with the WA event, but I doubt the cars will be ready in time.

Maybe we should have an International W116 Day in September each year to commemorate the release of the model back in 1972???

To add insult to illness I think the weather man got it wrong and the weather at home (which is normally worse than anywhere else) was just superb!  Particularly towards the end of the day which is the best time for cruising!  But the cars would still be missing so I'm headed out to the shed today for some long overdue attention and bloke-time....  Get well soon Tony!   :)

lol 9th of december would be very fitting. bit of a do-or-die kinda thing, as that marks the end of the 3 month period from when my benz's rego goes from expired to cancelled...  :P

Dont stress about the rego, RWC guys these days with the new testing regime dont really care anymore about no plate rego inspections with the inspection comprising of a numbers check on the car by VicRoads, Engine number and Vin number.

Either way they will bust your balls to get the RWC unlike a year or so ago when reg'd cars sailed through because they didnt need VicRoads inspection.

And you can reserve the plates with vic roads to use when you do re rego the car.

Would love to come but just swamped in setting up the factory, plus the need to feed it $$$, which is really annoying presently!  Have a good time!
