hi folk.
i loose my licence soonish cause too many demerit points.. mainly due to all my bedford inacurate speedos in 60km zones.. bad brake running red lights with lots of weight and lots of other stuff. (gotta blame it on somthing) i wanna have a bedford get together in melb before this happens if we can. markb and myself others have been fairly keen for this for a while so lets maybe chuck some ideas around and try come up with something before im stuck in yarram for the next 6 months!!!
hers an idea...
sunday lunch 28th march.... 4 weeks away
dunno if we wanna do a convoy drive to where were going.. it was pretty cool last time anyway:)
any feedback?? even from interstate people who have had experience with get togethers..
cheers

-
Yes Yes Yes,
I am sooo up for a get together ;D great call benny boy!!
Only problem is, i'm gonna be away that weekend for a bucks and i wouldn't make it back in time for a lunchtime beddy run.
I'm available any other time/weekend etc. how about the weekend either before or after? Please please please.
please......
-
yeh one after would be ok. any objections???
4th of april..
ill call james and craig today and find out what would be a good idea in regards to where and stuff..
-
Awesome ;D ;D
I can't wait!!!
-
April 4th is the eldest daughter birthday, so I might not be available that day.
Also isnt that easter sunday ?
Warren
-
oh um that could be a problem.
try the 21st of march..
-
21st is cool by me..
do we need a poll? or is everyone happy to just post their preference here?
-
Hey Guys, my 2cents worth, just get everyone to post their preference, and see how many end up with the same day and go from there. Might work ??? ???
George...................
-
sounds cool but i'm in China that week! DOH
-
my vote is sunday the 21/3. easter weekend would be a shit idea.
-
OK so we have
21/03/2010
Me
Ben
Neville
Mark B
Mezzmo what week will you be in china, I cant work it out from your post.
Eddy - where are you ?
Warren
-
Hey Warren, i will be leaving on the 21st back on the 28th - but hey, the Nats are just around the corner - we can always catch up then!!
-
my van wont be complete im out on this one im spewing tho would have been good to see other peoples vans
-
i,m there on the 21st. 8)
-
i may still come tho just to see the other peoples vans and get some info on the vans except i'd be the od one out driving a different car when i should be driving me van i'll see how i go tho i doubt t be ready tho keep use in form
-
van or no van just come along to meet and chat
-
Yup! I'll be there with blazing saddles!
-
no internet at home yet so pinched a few minutes at work, I'm running 21 hour marathon 20 -21 March doing the Relay for Life at Sandown Park :-\
-
so does that mean we've agreed on the 21st ???????????? if so any ideas on time and place??????????
-
I would love a get together....i havnt got time to read all replies just now, but noticed 21/3 sunday was prominent which if late in day i can do, but would prefer not to have to travel to woop woop from western suburbs this time.
For the show...it looks like i wont be in this year, although i have the funds (mostly) in place, my welder fell ill over the new year period and has been in and out of hospital, and has very little strength.... so this means no chance. I do hope to get down to the show, but it will come down to timing and opportunity, which i hold little hope of:(
-
Im in, let me know when
alex
-
have we got a set date yet ;D
-
21st seems like the go. i know a few cant make it but we cant please everyone and yeh nats are sooner than later.
kirk please consider the others that have to travel from woop woop also. im coming from 2 and half hours away, others are from out frankston way equally as far as you, others from ringwood, croyden, i thought it was fairly central last time. you city folk are too lucky to have everything nearby.
today i drove an hour to pick up a bearing! but i wouldnt trade my country lifestyle for a world of bedfords, or actually maybe i would lol. you know what i mean.
anyone want to suggest somewhere to go, start a run? do something? otherwise i supose we could try for the same kind of thing as last time where we all meet up at dan murphys somewhere there?? and went to the van counsils club room for a bbq lunch. only i got a few people lost and it was bit of a disaster..
ben
-
l'm interested, location is a facter due to the diff and a distance like yours ben where we get fresh air, worst comes to worst l will ride the bike or her car ::) ;D ::)
-
i'm as keen as a three speed on the highway, i'll be there.
the back of my beddy will be loaded with its ridiculous 800 watt 12 volt sound system, so bring your favourite music/ipod /mp3 player and we can argue about the best beddy cruisin' tunes.
people always say to me lets go somewhere with bbq's, and i say we can go anywhere, i'll put the barbie in the back o the beddy and off we go
woo hooo
-
I know eddy and Warren would be happy with this suggestion - but it may be a Little too far for our other friends ... We could meet somewhere around ringwood, do a convoy down Bedford road and then stop at Bedford park for a BBQ :) just a funny suggestion but it would be gold !! Anyone would be welcome at my place after too. To stay etc. If trekking from a far.. can bring cooking equip too
-
There is also a Bedford pub in the city on a corner. Would make for some excellent photos and they have chilli tequilla = yum
-
Good suggestion Mark, but theres not much at Bedford Park just a few halls and a cricket pitch, all out of site of the general public.
Doofs suggestion of the Bedford hotel in the city might be a good on - central for everyone and we could do a few laps of the roundabout. The pub is oppsite the big flagpole on the roundabout at flemington road and Elizebeth street.
Bedford Hotel Melbourne (http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bedford+hotel+melbourne&sll=-37.800917,144.955394&sspn=0.001988,0.006845&ie=UTF8&hq=bedford+hotel&hnear=Melbourne+VIC&ll=-37.797441,144.972754&spn=0,359.92301&t=h&z=14&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=-37.801039,144.956533&panoid=YR7uV9n4m5bHLugWIAaOfQ&cbp=12,158.33,,0,-3.01)
Warren
-
Was more a suggestion for shits and giggles and ringwood would be hard for all..I too like doof's idea :) we need someone to film us all going round the roundabout !! That'd be a sight.. Oh, and that chilli tequila sounds tempting lol..Anyone know if they do they do meals there?
Shit just saw the news, anyones beddy get damaged in the hail? Glad mines undercover
-
I'm happy with anywhere as long as there's meat, meat and meat, preferably bbqed.:) Oh, and beer! ;D
I'll be taking loads of photos!
-
One of my mates cars (not a bedford) in Box Hill says his car is written off due to the hail. He's quite happy about it actually
-
Lucky my van is under cover, not so lucky for my other car, which has a broken windscreen and about 100 dints. We also have a verandah with a perspex roof which now looks like a seive. 3 broken windows and about 20 broken tiles!
-
Ouch! Glad no beddies were injured in the hail....Just be careful Melbournites - cause they rekon it's gonna hit again around 3pm today - similar to yesterdays golf balls from sky...Keep your beddies under cover !
Can't wait for the run on the 21st ! Are we all happy with the Bedford Hotel in the city??
-
yeh sounds good. lets do a run from somewhere south east.. or somewhere?? i think most of us are south east ish except kirk..
-
Just a wild thought: How about we meet up at Bedford Park, do a convoy down Bedford Rd. and travel to Pound Bend Tunnel Park, Warrendyte for a BBQ?
The tunnel is a man made 193 metre long passage (3 metres wide) blasted out of bedrock to divert the Yarra River from a huge loop of the river to drain and mine for gold. Pretty damn impressive, and it's a real nice drive out there. Plenty of spaces for a BBQ and the pub's nearby.
If we could get people who ain't driving Bedfords to film the journey (I have also have a camera) then even better.
Just a thought.
-
i think Rothu's idea is a goodin. a bit of a convoy and a bbq. (shits all over a pub in the city)
-
actually thinking about it its probably gunna be more practle if we want to all park in the sAme spot lol..
any complaints about this idea? im easy..
ben
-
Me no complain ;D
Rothu, are there bbq's there? or do we need to bring 'em ?
-
I can throw a good 4 burner bbq and table in the back, it'll save having to fight for the public ones, which I'm pretty sure there isn't any, but it's a big carpark.

you have to zoom in - sorry
-
Pound Bend Tunnel is a little to the right of the destination you have put. Where that loop of the river is. PBT cuts through it.
-
looks good!!!

Should be more on track to our desination ;) Feel free to correct me Rothu...not entirely sure where the carpark is, but at least this gives us an idea of our convoy
-
1 week and a half away now..
whats a good time to meet? 12ish?
-
are yous still going to meet at the bedford hotel in the city or go pust it?
-
Hey you melbournites, can you make sure you take plenty of pics of the convoy and the day, just for us vanners still trying to finish our vans, give us a goal to strive for. ;D ;D :D
George......................
-
There will be plenty of photos and vids - i'm sure planning to take heaps ;D ;D
I rekon we meet at 12pm at Bedford Park, then do the convoy..Maybe a few days before, we can confirm numbers and make sure we have everyone before heading for the hills .
Rossie, not sure if anyone will be coming past the Bedford Hotel - if anyone is maybe let Rossie know and you can meet up.
can't wait!!!!!
-
ok can someone post all the details we have about the meet now? maybe melways reference and what time we expect to be at the bbq?
-
Hey Rothu, Are you happy to do ETA's and melways refs as you know the exact location of the PBT carpark?
-
Yup. I'll work out the times, logistics and placements tonight.
-
Righto! Here we go! ;D
BEDFORD RUN Sunday 21/3/10 8)
Bedford Park, Bedford Rd. Ringwood. Melways M49 J8. 1200-1300hrs.
I reckon if we all check out each others Van here, We'll enjoy knowing what Van has got what on the convoy.
Down Warrandyte/Ringwood Rd. 1300hrs
Depending on numbers, there's a fair chance we could be split up because of traffic lights, roundabouts, etc through Ringwood until we reach the point of none. I suggest the party of Bedfords that make it through whatever broke the chain pulls over to wait for the rest at M35 H11 (or thereabouts) as this is on the inside of a big sweeping right turn and after all the traffic controls of Ringwood, then we take a free road together all the way to Warrandyte.
The first driver to pull over should consider room behind him to allow room for the other Bedfords following. Once all together again, then off we go. CONVOY! If we can bring our CBs to keep in communication, even better.
Pound Bend Tunnel Park. M23 A11 1400hrs
I've allowed an hour but it'll be about 30mins travel. Just in case.
Go through the Round-about at the bridge in Warrandyte. Just as you come out of Warrandyte, on the right you'll see Stiggarts Reserve with Scouts and Restaurant. The turn-off is the second RH road after that: Everard Drive just below M23 C12, we'll be slowing traffic right down here to a stop waiting to turn, if you want to pass SLOWLY on the inside to take other roads in, do so CAREFULLY!
I'll bring along a 4 burner bbq, meat, condiments and table. Bring your own chair, meat, salad, and whatever you'd usually have for a bbq. I'll be bring heaps of meat, and a rear tractor inner tube, wetsuit, paddles and helmet to go through the tunnel (depending on insanity). If you'd like to brave the tunnel, you can use the tube and gear or bring your own vessel and gear.
Definitely not for the faint of heart. But a lot of hardcore fun. By the weather, it looks like it'll be fine, even hot. Bring swimming gear as you can sit in the falls and experience hydrotherapy.
From there in time, I have no idea.
Select, copy and paste this to your text editor and print it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a different note but just as in harmony, there is a Facebook group: Bedford Vans Australia.
I've joined. What are your feelings of posting a truncated message about our run? Do we want to have others with Bedfords join in, unknown, but expanding the membership? Or is this just a BUGA run, for us that have spent time getting to know each other over the 'Net to meet in the metal and flesh?
-
Thanks for putting this all together Rothu! Much appreciated =) I’ve got a table i can bring along too and should be runnin the fridge, if anyone wants to keep anything cool .. I don’t see any probs with advertising the run on facebook, it could bring more and wider love to the BUGA community, once they meet us and realise how awesome we all are, LOL! But if others want to just keep it ‘in the family’ i would also support that notion ..
-
thanks rothu.. will be good. ill bring some meat. and bread and my van if it doesnt break down..
ben
-
Benny you have my number if you run into any issues - i'll come and salvage you if u break down :'( Should we also try to circulate numbers somehow if anyone gets lost, running late etc?

how did the rest of the cruise go
-
What a bloody beautiful day! ;D 10 Bedford mongrels turned up in all configurations of progress! I had a ball meeting you all! Lots of insights and knowledge exchanged, great BBQ and location. Here are some photos, until I work out how to set up an album..
-
and more..
-
Was too buggered to upload anything lastnight after i got home and tucked the Beddy in. All in all, it was an awesome catch up =) It was great to meet everyone and check out everyone's vans. All them were unique and had their own story - which was great to hear from each owner. It was a great idea to meet somewhere before the run, cause then we could check out each van before we were driving. We had a couple of non-Beddy owners come and check us out at the meeting point as well - which was cool. Guys who were looking to get a Beddy or whatnot.
It was quite a sight for the peeps attending the Warrendyte festival to see a plethora of Bedfords convoying up the road past them. We got some great looks =) Can't tell you how good it was to be cruising up the road with 4 Beddy's in front and 5 behind. I can vividy remember looking in my side mirrors and seeing Jan and Sway in THBED following a couple others on my tail - she really stands out with her blue and purple !!
Thanks Rothu for bringing the burners and letting us use your gas. And for breathing fire for us - yes he actually was doing fire breathing, LOL!
Great to meet all you Bedford brethrin - let's do it again soon. Or maybe when Benny gets his license back. (Let me know if you need anything done this side of the burbs mate.)
I have heaps more pics, but will post a couple of all of us lined up. I'll post the video soon. Can we do a gallery that we can all put pics into - somehow?
-
more too
-
;D
-
wow ... looks like it was great get together !!! buga I missed it, I only live about 15 minutes away but after getting home at 2.00 p.m. after being awake from 0600 the previous day and run walking a 21 hour marathon to raise funds for cancer research, the legs, ankles, knees, toes, glutes, hammies and everthing else that has ligaments and tendons attached (including my bot bot that was dragging behind me on the ground) was severly in need of rest, I reckon I drove home from Sandown on memory auto pilot cause I don't recall seeing the road home until I nearly bumped into my letter box , there was just no way I could have coped with staying awake for another few hours :(
-
I put a video up on youtube of us driving in convoy! ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLOQ0GUOaI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLOQ0GUOaI)
-
Brilliant effort guys and gals....Great pics to!! ;D
-
the BUGAs!!
-
well done people looks like a great day
-
hey guys sorry i was'nt there, but it has got me determined to finish mine now, no mater what. ;D I have only one complaint with the video above, it was not long enough, or is this just a teaser, lol ;D ;D Hey shane do you think you could set up a section in main menu as markb said, and only have pics and video of buga get togethers in there.
George. ;D :D
-
that looks awsome guys well done..
-
nice photo buuuuttt ..... pretty spooky (wierd music starts playing) ......... the beddie bro second from the left has no legs ........ wooooooooo ...... and given that they are the Melbourne lot shouldn't they be retitled the MUGAS ?
-
Hey guys, what is the chance of getting a copy of quiet a few of the photos that were taken on the day? It wasn't till I went to download the pics off my camera this morning that I realized that it was set to the lowest res. & none of them are worth looking at.
-
I agree with George and it would help Rod Fraska and all of us if we could somehow have a 'shared gallery' or some sort of mechanism that we could all be able to upload our photos to for meets etc. Anyone have any bright ideas?
-
your the rocket ay rod:) glad to see you on here:)
great day folk. great to meet you all that i didnt know..
there were 4 v8 beddies there as apposed to last meet 0!!
and there were only 1 van at both (im pretty sure) which was janet and sway
ben
-
It was great to see other peoples toys. ;D
Great day until we got lost on the way home, f#@%#n sat nav. >:( >:(
Jan & Sway
-
they have this thing called gps lol or in my case its called a W.I.F.E . lol ;D ;D
George.
-
I don't know what every one else's opinion is of the Melb. get together, but I personally thought it was great. The diverse range of mods. done & every ones ideas of how a cool beddy should look was amazing. Credit must be given to all who attended to show off their beasts & my sympathy goes out to all that couldn't attend for they missed out on a great outing & the chance to meet fellow beddy owners.
By the way I thought there was 5 v8 vans there (correct me if I am wrong).
-
i agree rocket i had a ball i only went to the meet not the cruise cos my van is off the road plus i had something else on and could only make it to see the vans but i tell you i had the best time ever it was great just seeing a van pull up every say 5-10min the miss's was telling me we had to go but evertime a van rocked up i couldnt help meself but stay and adore the wonderful vans until it was nearly crunch time where unfortunately i had to leave use all didnt actually end up saying good bye to u all as i had to just leave sorry guys but i so recomend we all do it again gives us more chance to see the vans in which didnt make it or couldnt make it

When you go into your Album, down the bottom left you will see a "Edit" link, click on that and it will take you into the "edit Album" page, here you can create a sub album using the "add album" from the options list.
I create sub albums for common things, as you would see for the "March 2010 get together".
once I have created the sub album I then go and open that sub album, and once again the "Edit" link at the bottom left.
Click on that and you will be in the Sub Albums "Edit album" page.
Under the options Field choose add item, this will take you to another page called surprisingly the "add items" page.
You then have a box where you can type in the location of your file (or use the browser tab to find your file) and you can also fill in the caption field.
Initially you will see room for two uploads, but you can add more by pressing on the "more upload boxes", I do about 4 at once as it takes some time for the program to resize and upload them, if you have a slow INTERNET connection you might try 2 to start with as it can take several minutes to do the uploading.
I do not resize my pics, and they are usually 3 or 4 meg, the program automatically resizes them to what you can see in my albums.
Give it a go, its not to hard and if you have any problems PM me a number and I will talk you through it.

It was a frigging fantastic day!
I must say, after having my van for 5 years of misery and breakdowns, then spending a year rebuilding it and cursing it every day, sometimes giving up and determined to get it cubed, then perservering, winnning one battle at a time, finally solving the real problem (bent f#cking push rods!) and then having a totally reconditioned engine, total component upgrades, more power than it's ever had, reliable, and finally being very happy with it...
To have helped put this run together and actually lead the charge was just a bloody proud experience of triumph and fortitude! Then to meet the other Bedford owners and see how diverse the range of modifications made have been, plus how nice they all are was even better!
Thanks to all who attended, I had a ball!
