Yes sweetpete, the group booking price we have got is $89 for the car one way and $221 per person for a twin share inside cabin one way. All this is explained when you email an expression on interest to nationals@mr2club.com.au by return email. Bookings must be made on the booking form provided in reply to your EOI email.

Sorry from the other info that was given it was stated that an expression of interest was actually a confirmation of booking etc. Not and expression of Interest. I will email my EOI now but I am NOT confirming attendance yet.

Liking the look of those decals - do we need to pre-order our preferred colour?  And what if we have to make a choice, and leave one of our cars at home - can we collect more when we get there?

They are really good, I still have my 2011 from Bright, VIC on my MR2.  At this stage they are the only 4 colours. I've asked for red, don't like my chances tho!!!!!
 
If you let me know your colour, we can only ask.  And if there are any left over, they will be distributed at the Nationals dinner.

There are other colours, but there should be consistency. Those stickers are samples for Kevin to choose from.
 
Red is subtle and difficult to see because often windscreens appear black. We've already made Red for 2011 Nationals.
 
Yellow really stands out.
White is boring.
Blue is subtle, just like red.
Aqua is somewhat different.
My other recommendation is "Copper" which is metallic brown, not shown in the photo.

Thinking about the stickers, are they outside or inside fit?  If it's not too late in the decision/design process my personal preference would be for inside fit - they stand up better to regular washing.

Vinyl decal is intended for outside. It can be applied inside if I mirror the artwork, but it generally wouldn't look good because you will see the adhesive.
 
Also it's not recommended if you apply it inside when you have window tinting - for 2 reasons: The sticker won't be visible and, you may have a hard time removing the sticker if you apply on top of a window tint film.
 
It's different to the $6.50 MR2 Aus Logo sticker which is intended for inside and it sticks by static. My sticker has adhesive for outdoor use (and it's free for the MR2 Nationals attendees).

Mr2 nationals sound like a fantastic idea, i wont be able to do any of the cruising with you guys but while you are in or around Hobart id love the opportunity to come and say hi and meet everyone.

Also, john mentioned a track day at baskerville, if this goes ahead ill be there, looking forward to it :)

Thanks guys
Jason
