What an awesome trip to run in the car!
I have some brilliant trips planned for mine when she rocks up

Nice. I planned on doing the same thing but in reverse if I had found a MT GTS on the east coast. Enjoy the trip. :)

I have ridden around Mt Panorama (not raced) and thought it would be the scariest place to race. I mean there is no room for error across the top.

Enjoy the the drive.

Good work mate enjoy, I work in Orange and Live in Bathurst. Ordered my 86 from Bathurst will have mine around December. Have fun mate.

Just be careful as they sit near the chase and on the crest of conrod.
Thankfully the track is quite wide so racing around it especially in an 86 would actually not be bad.
I am a member of the Bathurst light car club and regularly compete in hillclimbs and super-sprints around Mt Pan. It is daunting the first few times at full pace though.

Cheers

I would be very wary of traveling after dark. In some places you can count the dead Roos on the side of the road. So many that you can pass one and see the next dead one ahead.

That will be a pretty memorable experience for picking up your new car! What a great excuse to do some interstate travel, with the added benefit of jumping the crazy queue to pick up a car.

I'll bet those first 1000km will be a real pain though ;).
