For those who have never been...

Post by J »

I live in Perth and as a 17 year old, I can pretty much tell you nothing about what goes on at nats.

I figure there will be a big show and shine, but because it is on for 3 days are there more events?

I am considering driving over for this years, ive been dying to take my car for a big road trip. So if people can please point out the obvious details *which i dont knoe* other than location and dates, that would be awesome.

Cheers
Jay

that sounds like a good plan.

I might have to recruit some W.A boys to drive over with me, for when my car breaks down (Its inevitable) :lol: :lol:

So its over 3 days, what happens in the 3 days? other then drinking responsible amounts of alcohol

this so far is not that good a promotion for the nationals, the guy wants to know what goes on besides the show n shine and so far all he's got is a bunch of blokes getting pissed :? he can go to any pub anywhere and see that
so far he doesn't have a reason to drive around the corner let alone across australia :roll:

SIDENOTE: you must have grown up around nice people mark nobody i know would dare passout while drunk, when you woke up you either wouldn't be where you passed out anymore or part of you would be missing :wink: :shock: :lol:

There are usually no activities on the Monday, as it is a public holiday it is good travel time to get home for work on Tuesday (unless you live in Perth or drive an FB ) "
