The deals done and I'm flying down to Adelaide on Thursday night and picking up Jim's (mini75) yellow brick and will be cruising back home along the coast road , all 3,500km's of it :lol: It'll be a great test for it, I'm looking forward to the drive as it's been many years since I've owned a mini or had a decent road trip.
So if any of you guys see a 6'2" bearded guy with a mullet in a 78 yellow clubby give me a wave :D

Hey Wolfman, I used to be in Gladstone for 15 years. I hope you're taking your chiropractor with ya driving from Adelaide LOL. I'm usually stiff after driving my girl for half an hour.

I'm stopping at Riverwood in Sydney to see my sister and niece then stopping at Gosford to see a couple of old friends there, so the old goat track is the best route. I don't mind the twisty roads, they help keep me alert unlike the long straight stretches :wink:
