Time to revisit the costings


Ok, one thing I have learnt over the years is that you NEVER EVER ADD IT UP! Like you should never actually add up the calories you take in, because you know it will scare you, and let you see why your not getting any thinner, or in this financial case let you see why you bank account is always running down, close to the wire.

So here's where we are at:
Freight of car to LA - $1820
Clearance of car LA side - $450
Entry fee - $1700
Hotel - $1000
Airine tickets - $2600

Note food and beverage not yet counted in, and probably wont be. We've yet to determine the price and how we are getting the car from LA to Colorado and back to LA for shipment back to Australia, but we might just find ourselves driving it there as part of the adventure. It's 'only' 900 miles there, and 900 miles back. hmmmm, where have I heard those words before...? Oh, I know, It's what Burt Reynolds told Jerry Reed, aka, the Snowman, about going down to Arkansas to grab some beer and bring it back... I wonder if you do a similiar run in an black evo with a boot full of Warsteiner if it is still bootleggin'??

"we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there, keep on truckin' bandit run..." sorry, got a little carried away there and a bit nostalgic.
