If anyone else knows about the infamous Cannonball Run you will know that it would be one of the greatest things to ever do.

They are now holding an Australian event in 2012, entrance for a car costs $10k. This covers your car and two drivers aswell as access to all the parties etc.

I've already contacted my brother and said I have $5k if he has the other half. SERIOUSLY keen on doing this.

If my brother is out, anybody else interested? :D

That... Looks... Fucking... AWESOME!!! But $5k can go towards my bike, or my Hilux, or a set of wheels, or a turbo upgrade...

You'll be paying $5k for an epic holiday anyway, it'd be sooo worth it, especially seeing how much it costs in the USA and Europe to enter there events (we are talking like $50,000 here).

Already SMS'd Scotty! :D

sounds interesting. Im guessing you have to take your own car, that means a good drive to Brisbane, so this little adventure will cost more than the $10k. Still sounds like fun and if I had money to spend Id probably do it. If you do go you will have to do a write up for the newsletter for sure. lol coz we'd all be jealous and would like to read about your adventure. ;)
Its the little things in life that count.

Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do. Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink. You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much. Then again, don't drink too little. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time. A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine, except that on a day without sunshine you can still get drunk. I stopped drinking, but only when I sleep. This is one of the disadvantages of wine: it makes a man mistake words for thought. Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend !!!! When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they always worked for me. The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy. A man who exposes himself when he is intoxicated, has not the art of getting drunk. A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory. I drink to forget I drink. Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts. Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. The whole world is about three drinks behind. I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Yep, seats will change to accomodate the long drives.

As for car transport a truck is being organised for all cars coming from WA to go over so it will save on transport costs.

Also winner gets $25,000!!!

My brother and Matt from WA Suspensions have both expressed mild interest to join me, I figure I have to jump on quick to secure my spot.

Call me whenever mate :)

The event will be capped at 60 cars, but should still be epic.

As Scott said we are currently looking for Sponsors ;)
