Tassie would definitely be worth going to. This is still a LOONG way off, but I'm definitely keen barring I still have my MR2 then. There shouldn't be an excuse for anyone not to go given the advance notice. :)

ok I have created a little event thing on FB for us to discuss etc plans for this, it can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/315981778442960/ I have also a few options on accommodation that I have been looking at in the towns mentioned to stop over, but pricing etc, are pretty much unavailable due to being so far away time wise, but if we get a few numbers etc, a few of the hotels offer discounts for car clubs etc...

Having lived in Hobart for 3 years I can confirm it is nothing like Canberra! There is plenty to see here, the mountain, MONA etc and great roads such as that used in the local Wrestpoint targa nearby. The nominated track at Baskerveille is ideal for the MR2, more of handling track than a power track. I was at the 2011 MR2 nationals in Bright, there is never a dull moment at these events with like minded people. If anyone needs advice let me know.
