Robert & Jacinta's "Bandit Run"

This is the start of a new chapter for Robert & Jacinta as members of the All American Car Club of Cairns.

This is the begining of Robert & Jacinta's "Bandit Run".




It all started with the purchase of a bee ute iful black Trans Am down in Melbourne.

Watch this blog as the journey unfolds.

On the 18th September 2008, I flew down to Melbourne to inspect a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am that was advertised for sale. As soon as I saw the car, I knew there and then that I wanted to buy it. She is a fresh import from America and just needing a little bit of work for roadworthy. Anyway, 3 hours later, the deal was done.

Now... how to get it back to Cairns.

Plan A.......have the car freighted at a cost of about $1650.00....or.....
Plan B.......drive it back to Cairns.

The decision was made to drive the car back. Meanwhile, the car is in storage and having the minor repairs and checks made to get it to a safe and roadworthy state to drive it back to Cairns.

Let the "Bandit Run" begin.
