Great Alpine Rd anyone?

[Merls]

Hey all,
I recently drove from Bright to Hotham and back after a wedding, was great fun. Got the thumbs up from a cyclist on the way up and on the way down they heard us coming and stopped to whip out their cameraphone. The 3200 ran flawlessly, and got around 11L/100km (lots of hwy driving, with 2 of us and a full boot, but still better than my daily!)
Anyway am going to go back and do the whole Great Alpine Road (wanna come?), who's done it before? Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Merls

Went up to Omeo and back from Melbourne via Bairnsdale last Monday-Tuesday. Ive been doing it occasionally for over 50 years now. Certainly took the skin off the tyres on the 4200 May go through the Snowy next week. Very impressed with the car. And 24-25 MPG. Colin

I didn't know there were any great alpine roads in Aus.

Nice choice of car there Merls...a proper old classic 3200GT!
