| Road Trip - Sydney 2000 | |
| The first ever Probe meet in Sydney happened in August 2000 and I had to be there. | |
|
It's August 2000 and the first ever Sydney Probe meet is about to happen. Call me crazy but I just had to be there and pretty soon I found one other Prober just as crazy as me. Jerry and I met up at the headquarters of all things Ford here in Australia to begin our road trip of over 900 km from Melbourne to Sydney. |

Here we go away on the Hume and heading north. It didn't take long for the boredom to set in, so out with the camera it is. |
|
| We got to Sydney in about 10 hours of driving, stopping along the way in Albury on the Victoria/New South Wales border for a meal and to get the blood flowing again. We still had at least another 6 hours of driving ahead. Driving into Sydney on a busy Saturday night on unfamiliar roads was a nightmare. After getting lost a couple of times we made it to the hotel and put the cars to rest in the secure car park. |

| The meet | |
| Sunday morning and wouldn't you know it, we got lost again. A couple of phone calls later and we get to meet up in Paramatta Park. |  |

|
Jerry and Ron discuss Probe engine issues and Paul and Andrew get to know each other. Paul (with the green top and cap) would have to be the most senior member of a Probe club anywhere. |

| At on end of the park we spotted this curious sight. These Roman soldiers were just a little bit lost and behind schedule. |  |
| Time now to move on to a different part of the park so we line up the Probes and off we go. |  |
| Another location and more discussion. |  |
| And.....more discussion. |  |
| These pics speak for themselves. | |

| On the way back we just had to stop and look at this....sight. Inland Australia is the last place you would expect to see a submarine partially submerged into the ground. | |
