Been looking at this as I`m in Adelaide at the moment and thinking about doing the Great Ocean Road trip on the way back. Magic drive that I haven`t done in the 924 yet.
Come on you guys in Melbourne, yes Leadfoot and Steeny and any others, give me another incentive to do this. I`d feel outnumbered driving 800 Ks and being the only toofah.

I've tried to meet up with pelican crew before once or twice but it has never developed as they tend to postpone for weeks and then arrange something on the only days I have to work or have plans made,
RC if your around on the 5th it would be nice to catch up at this meet...thats me logged in as stucor...
The great ocean road is a great drive, try to do it on a weekday though as the traffic on weekends is generally bad news. Not so much in winter, but it sucks with all the buses....

Working hard to try make this on Sunday.
Can see the logic in your tip Leadfoot but will have to do the drive Saturday if we are to see much on the way. Be good to catch up and check out your beast. Likewise Steeny and anyone else who can make it as well as the 944 crew.
Getting new rubber tomorrow then a wheel align and camber adjust from Pedders. Thought I`d sus them out first and ask how you adjust the camber. They got the eccentric bolt right which was more than another so called specialist did!
Waiting on a confirmation from the Rennlist boys so hope this goes ahead OK now.
Oh BTW, where is the Porsche centre. Only have an old street directory and always get lost in Melbourne anyway. Thought about a satnav but that would probably make things more confusing.
Cheers,
Roger |

Looks like it is a go for me (work wise fine)
Porsche Centre Melb is in Victoria Parade Collingwood
between Smith Street and Punt RD
Closer to the Punt Rd end though.

Thats cool Leadfoot!
Looking good this end too.
Googled the Porsche centre and they had a map on their home page. Handy being so close to the city so should be able to find a hotel or motel near by.
Got new tyres fitted today and all 4 wheels aligned. Really happy with local Pedders here, spent over 2 hours on it for only $124.
See ya Sunday

Enjoyed the opportunity to meet fellow boardie Leadfoot and of course check out his machine as well as a few cool 944s from Rennlist.
Heres a few pics:
