When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Frankenstein's Trip to the Nationals
Before we left the caravan park in Adelaide we did a photo with Lindsay and Janessa's car and caravan.
On the way down to Victor Harbour Stony wanted to stop at a winery he knew had great wine.
And I bought a couple of bottles for Robyn
Then on to Victor Harbour and McKracken were we are staying, both Stony and I had another couple of small issues to sort out, once that was done we went and had a great meal and a couple of ales Member of WA FB/EK Car Club

Re: Frankenstein's Trip to the Nationals
Cheers for the comments guys and it was great to meet you Stephen and the offer of help to find the place I was looking for, this is exactly why I love the forum and don't do Facebook, where else would you get somebody (Stephen ) just pull up and offer assistance to people that have only conversed over the forum.
After now meeting Clay and Stephen I think you SA guys are a pretty cool bunch Frank and I are really looking forward to meeting everyone when we get to Nuriootpa.
Only 3 sleeps until we are on our way to Nuri

Re: Frankenstein's Trip to the Nationals
So had a good day today headed down to Goolwa for a look had a nice egg and bacon roll and coffee at the local bakery, then went and had a look along the street ended up picking up another can for man land
Then visited the two castles in Victor Harbour
After we went and gave both the cars a good clean at the local car wash getting ready for the trip to Nuri (almost certainly another clean needed by the time we get there)
