Brrrrrrr. Snow country, but Mr and Mrs Flapper are great people to catch up with, and its like a combination of walking into Repco spare parts and Melbourne Car City - cars and stuff everywhere. |

So the rumour that you are relocating ReadSpeed Mini Mecca to Melbourne may have some truth to it, as this looks very much like a reconnaissance mission for a new site to me? A little bird said you want to move down south because you have a bucket list dream to ring the bell next Easter at arguably Australia's top surfing spot. The move itself should be a breeze as you've no doubt become an expert at relocating tonnes of Mini stuff. Seriously, if you and Marly have an hour to spare on any of the days you are in Melbourne I'd love to finally meet face to face. Just give me some warning on the day to make sure I'm home. I'll put the kettle on and try to find a good alternative to your wagon wheels to munch on. No problem if it doesn't fit in to your schedule. I'm near Caulfield close to the Princes Highway and M1 which both head south east of Melbourne. I'll email you my contact details. P.S. Have you driven the Albert Park F1 track? P.P.S. Is this the Boxer you talk of? Attachment: PUB1058 Cover.jpg

Change of plans,,, we should be at Bells beach late (edit)-> "Friday" day night (staying the night there) we`ll pig some breaky & a coffee down & get over to Oakleigh by 8.30-ish to meet up with friends but then i`ll leave Marly there & head over to "Real Automotive" (Melbourne) at about 9am sat morn (to pick up a mini) so if anyones keen to catch up maybe that`s the spot yeah? i can hang around there for an hour or so, but have to be back up the road to pick Marly up before 10.30am so we can get back on the road out to Rosedale before lunch with friends we are going to try to get outa there by 3pm to hit the east coast road for the trip home Sorry i can`t really spend anymore time than that, it`s meant to be a quick trip cheers all Matt & Marly |

Matt, remember it is NSW school holidays...so if you are heading up the coast...be vewy, vewy careful of dopes popping out of the shrubbery onto the Princes Hwy A1 (what a pathetic bit of road!) from side streets etc or generally just wandering about  Safe Travelling... |

Matt - assume you mean Bells late Friday night, not Saturday? If you plan to be in Oakleigh (next suburb to me) at 9 am it will mean an early start from Bells. I'd allow 2-3 hours. I may come over to Real for a quick chat. |

we are 5 mins off the Western Ring Rd in Airport West if you need a coffee / wee Friday night on the way through. no stress but you do have me on F/B so you can shoot me a message if you want / need to pop past. The Fang's are in the shed, too cold to drive one to Oakleigh + it's 4 tanks of fuel for the round trip { read tight ar$e } I get that you are running to a time schedule so I won't hold you up for long { dad probs will, retired and loves a chat } |
