Echo Valley this weekend, peps coming from Dalby come bring it over, thats one step closer, then I could get it to Brissy, but I can't be trusted and might conferscate said  dead weight for my own project.
No room at Echo Valley either,so I heard. ???

It's an SC500 thing ;D.
Dave if someone from up Dalby way is going to the Wyaralong Nats they might be able to bring it down and I can pick it up from there and bring it back to Sydney. As well there's perhaps an outside chance that there still might be a Queenslander going to Classic Dirt who could bring it down and give it to me to bring back to Sydney (unless you're going to CD10 yourself).

I can transport it from Toowoomba this weekend to the Nats at Wyaralong if needed.

Only old Ronnie and he has to catch the bus so only hand luggage. There will be something we can do between now and Wyarralong for sure.
