I'm sure only half or so will make it. Will sort out 'final' numbers in June/July. There is always people who have to bail last minute for one reason or another.

30 people would probably be more than enough, so approx 15 trucks max. Would probably have to seperate into two groups if numbers are that high, depending on conditions.

Everyone will need to be prepared to tent it or sleep in their trucks incase the bunks are already taken when we get there, so if the weather is quite cold leading up to the trip I'd imagine a few people will decide a chair under the heatpump a better option for that weekend :lol: :P

Good garage is awesome aye! We just moved this week and I finally have one again. This one even has a fancy concrete floor!

Let us know when you are ready to get your bits from the states and I'll see if I can get you some free fright to keep your costs down. Know a pilot, but he can only take so much each trip.

If the missus can't get time off work I will have a spare seat for you man if your keen.
