Australian AMG owners - come to Alice!

A few guys are heading to Alice Springs on the first weekend in August to drive out to Uluru and back. So far we have the following cars committed:

Lamborghini Murcielago and Gallardo
Ferrari 360 Spider, 360 CS and 550
Porsche GT2
Lotus Esprit
Honda NSX

We are (mostly) freighting the cars in to Alice and then driving the 440Km to Uluru. As many of the roads have no speed limits, we are looking forward to some freedom. MOTOR magazine will bring a car or two along as well and cover the story. We'll also spend a day on other outings with a local - who owns the Murci...

We would love to have an AMG or two along too. Here's a link with some details.

There is a truck going from Melbourne to Alice via Adelaide that I'm using. You can email Ash from the site for details - there may still be a slot free. Or you can email Stephen who has booked the truck. His email is stephens@ipn.com.au

I think you've left it too late. "No limit" Northern Territory roads got the chop a few months ago! It's back to 100kph in line with the rest of Australia, with a few stretches of 130kph and we don't need to freight our cars to the "Red Centre" to drive at those speeds
