Sheldon has also been accepted, awaiting news from other Alfa club people...

You're keen, Brissy to Adelaide, then the 7 days of the rally.  You'll have a great time.  Start your fundraising ASAP, and depending on how you go sourcing a car, start preparing it as soon as you can, and make sure to do a few test runs of it beforehand.

You're not supposed to have more than 2 in the car, and there hasn't been any kids in the last couple of years.  I'm not saying it's not kid-friendly, but there is a bit of shenanigans that goes on.  Have a talk to the organisers, but my guess would be that they would say no.

I managed to buy a shitbox Alfa today, and I'm happy to say it's an Alfa that I've always lusted after, that it was comfortably under $1000, and one that hasn't done a shitbox previously.  All will be revealed next week.

All good advice !!

Did you get a model not previously represented in the Shitbox ?

I really need to read all the rules, conditions etc. I didn't really think mr Finn would come, although he has been backpacked to some wild places in his five years and has also done a lap of the nurburgring :)
