There's a show on Nat Geo people (Foxtel) tonight at 7:30 which is about one of the previous runs. I spotted DAV in the ad for it

It was a pretty chilly start for them this morning from the Questacon Carpark in Canberra. Once they started moving out though the chills disappeared pretty quickly. There's some pretty cool cars getting around this year.

I tried watching the foxtel show on last year, after 5 mins of listening to "the machine gunners" I had to change channel.

I agree babes. Although they were featured heavily, it did get better and quite moving in some places when the organiser was talking about his parents and sister; and others were telling their stories. There wasn't enough car action for my liking and a little too much of those wankers in the kombi. But overall I enjoyed it.

Might have to prepare a Renault 10 for a future event!

I think there was two R12s this year too - a sedan and a wagon, both yellow I think.
