Yeah so it that case it'll be the 8th and since the Collingrove Hillclimb is on again for the 14/15th then it's ideal. Shame you wont be back for it.

Never been to Strath??  It's not bad at all, you have the Victoria Hotel that has a log fire and there are at least 2 decent cafes/bakery's as well. Getting there though, through Echunga and Macclesfield is half the fun :)

I've been as far as Macclesfield while following the Classic Adelaide rally. The roads were not bad at all but I drove conservatively (s13 with crap tyres)

Yep. I'm keen. that seems like it'll work fine.
I'm always keen on the Adelaide hills runs :P Hopefully i would have at least fixed one issue with my car by then. Maybe brake pads.

Great guys - good to see some interest early - lets hope it doesn't wane! ;P Here's the proposed route: http://goo.gl/maps/JMJQ I'm thinking meet centrally for this - probably from Big W carpark, Cumberland Park, about 10AM ish. Take the back roads up past Windy Point for a look, through Crafers, then on to Strathalbyn Rd though Mylor, Echunga and Macclesfield.
