Hey Guys heres my idea
Gather at the Bedford Hotel (http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/bedford-hotel/north-melbourne) mid to late afternoon and then drive out to the Coburg Drive In (http://villagecinemas.com.au/Cinemas/Village-Drive-ins.htm) for a movie
The city is central to most people - and the coburg drive in is 10 klm/20 minutes away Trip map (http://www.truelocal.com.au/map.do?showDirections=&toBusiness=&toAddress=155+Newlands+Rd%2C+COBURG%2C+VIC%2C+3058&toLatLng=-37.7233530+144.9709090&fromAddress=1+Flemington+Rd%2C+NORTH+MELBOURNE%2C+VIC%2C+3051)
What do others think ??
Warren
-
I'm in for sure AU Day ! are we gonna be able to chat and look at each other's vans at the drive in, do u rekon? If there's a bunch o beddies there, i don't think i'll be watching what's on the screen. Don't get me wrong, i'm happy to go, but do u think it would disruptful??
-
We didn't disrupt the show at the last WA drive-in night (although tere were plenty of looks as the Fleet assembled!)
Even attracted one or two civilians (ex Beddie owners :) ) to wander over and brag about their ex-machines.
Just get to the drive-in early to give youselves plenty of inspection/chat time
A convoy of Beddies cruising down Sydney Road - I'd like to see that !!
-
Me too. Make sure the cameras are alive & clicking, also, has anyone thought about nominating someone to shoot video, a half hour [or more] video on a dvd would be great. Just a thought.
george.
-
What's the movie?
-
Hugh
Dont know yet - the program didnt go out that far.
I will try calling over the weekend and let you know.
Warren
-
if i end up coming along with ben then i could shoot a vid for u, if u have a camera, i dont have one tho, hope to see all u guys there! P.S. that plan sounds good to me!

Henry
-

youll be able to tag along with someone jimmy..
-
well its either that or come in the panel van but thats a bit tragic...
-
Don't forget to take pic's
-
We will love to join in this meet as long as our van doesnt overheat.
If it does we will meet you all at the drive-in as we just live around
the corner. Cheers Frank and Tracey
-
OK so the drive in opens @ 8:15 so I suggest this schedual below.
4:00 Meet at the Bedford Hotel
4:00 Drinks and chat till 6:30
6:30 Leave for the drive to the Drive in
7:00 arrive at Drive in chat and check out vans
8:15 gates open - circle the wagons, get out the deck chairs and settle in for more chat and a movie.
11:30 part ways.
There are 3 screens so I have put in a poll on what movie people would prefer.
Coming so far

Yep it was a lovely afternoon/evening. Thanks to all those who turned up and made it a great get together.
Henry was the first to arrive at the now renamed Bedford Hotel (how dare they) followed by Mark B and Karli, Morgan, Ben Adam followed by myself and the kids.

(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=28932&g2_serialNumber=2)
We mulled around checking out eachothers beddys and shooting the breeze when Frank & Tracy arrived.
A few hours of pleasant conversation ensued with the occasional passerby stopping to talk and wonde WTF we were up to.
We then took a short drive to a burger joint and had dinner - yummy bergers too.
Then it was off on a convoy down Sydney road - with Ben and mark playing musical horns, much to the amusement of the cafe crowds.
(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=28967&g2_serialNumber=2)
Once at the drive in we lined up for a photo op after which Henry and Ben and Jed head off on there long trip home, Mark also headed off home the rest of us settled in for the movie.

From Left to right
Frank & Tracey, Henry, Morgan Mark & Karli, Ben, Riona, Me, Dushan, Jed, Jimmy & Sarah
Later a long LWB beddy driven by Andrew & Samantha turned up out of the blue - so we introduced ourselves and told them about the site, hopefully we will see them on here soon.
Once again thanks to everyone for making it a great OZ day
Warren
-
so cut that i couldnt make it tho would have been good cruising in the city with everyone looking wondering what the f*ch oh well next time boys
-
we pulled up behind that v8 blue beddy on the way home had a chat over the road and told them to come check yoyu guys out.. turns out they were already heading there?? weird..
thanks for all the fun guys! look forward to the next meet up.. it must be time for a frankston area meet:)
-
Frankston sounds good ben,meet down at mezzmo factory once i ask him ;D,cruize down to mornington. I get the green van registered next month finally woo hoo.
-
i'll be in on the next meet for sure, looking forward in to ripping a sqid
-
Done deal Rubman, heaps of space at the factory for all, then cruise down to The Royal Hotel in Mornington for a great meal.
-
sound good.
One suggestion for the next one was a cruise along beach road, maybe the city and western suburbs guys could get together and cruise out to Frankston along beach road and meet up with the guys from the south and head of to Mornington.
mabe some time in March
Thoughts
Warren

Hey Dudes,
March is good for me = don't think i'll have the custom white van up by then - but i'll be there in the black one.
That's awesome that another beddy just happend to be going to the drive-in too, gold!
Mornington would be a lovely cruise, let's try and make it easy for as many vans to be there as possible.
Cheers!
-
Anytime there is a Bedford meet count us in as we really ejoyed meeting you all.
The Bedford convoy was a hoot couldnt stop laughing all the way.
With horns beeping ( especially Bens super horn ) it was a Bedford chorus worthy of an oscar.
Thanx for the goodtime.....pity about the movie..
-
thanks warren my wifes name is sarah...should be beddied up in the next few months...get my dads on the road first then get my own...
-
Hi All
Had a fantastic day, really apriciated the warm welcome on my first BUGA outing (even though Ben didn't think the hub caps were cool), after a long slow trip home the next project is more hwy speed
Look forward to the meet
Henry
-
i didnt mean to say that. althou i must admit i dont like hub caps on any car. but i fully didnt mean to say it out loud cause everyone likes different stuff.. still changing feet in mouth warren:(
-
Hey Ben
No offence taken
If we all liked the same thing life would be boring
henry
-
Haha benny - let me help you change feet :D
I must say I like those hubcaps - on my camper I run 12 slotters on the back and they are cool, but I had HQ ones one the front and they just didnt look "right".
But yeah its all personal preferences.
Warren
-
it was great meeting you all!
the run was awsome and mark B if you have any pics of me sticken my head out the top ide love to see them! :)
