Australian Pelicans - Convoy to Rob Roy Hillclimb?
The Annual Rob Roy Hillclimb is Sunday, June 16th. I believe this year it is hosted by the MG Car Club, but the Porsche Club of Victoria (PCV) is invited, among other marques.
I will be going along to at least watch the action (and maybe participate), but I know that Matt Holcomb and Victor Coppa will also be going. Is anyone else interested in coming along? If so, a convoy would be great fun. Traffic is likely to be thick, as there'll be lots of fans going, but the drive/scenery is apparently first rate! I don't believe you have to pay to watch. Who's coming? If we get the urge, we could go off on our own "extra" run...

Adam,
I was reading your second reply to Victor's thread, titled 'Rough Rider', and I'm packing it. "I'm actually pretty keen to go to Rob Roy. Friends who have done it before tell me that it's very tight, lots of trees and amco, but a blast." Victor, I thought this hill was bald!

He he, apparently there is a causeway (that's where the armco comes in) where plenty of cars have come unstuck in the past. There is no such thing as a hillclimb with runoff. That's the fun part. You guys should to Morwell (yes, where I got whipped by WRX's) - it's a goat track.
Cheers, VC '89 Carrera 3.2 |

Ok,
Is anyone else interested in coming along? I think Merv (WydRyd) should come along and show off his 400bhp plaything!

Hey Guys! Sounds like a blast, but I'm not sure whether I can attend.
My calendar shows a Christening that Sunday up in Mt.Martha, just past Mornington  Will see if we can bail out - fingers crossed... TBA! P.S: Would love to come and spank some rice butt

Things are looking grim for a lot of contractors here, so I'm not going to hold my breathe dude. I have been offered permanency, but... well..... you know

Sounds like it’s going to be a blast – wish I could join you but won’t be local.
Lots of luck to Victor and Matt … and Adam for those of us that’ll have to live this vicariously, what about some video footage? Regards,

Our operators are standing by... Matt and I will be leaving my place approx 07:15. Light traffic means FUN, FUN, FUN!
