Sorry Jason, can't help you, my missus shot through twelve years ago; haven't spoken to her since, so she's no help either............

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Crowne has a good range of accom at various prices and lots to do nearby. Good/expensive tucker if you want it.

Bppk ahead and go somewhere like Movida, awesome food & great service, all good stuff to get one in the mood before an all FPV day !!!!

Good luck

Hey Jason,

I did this just last weekend for Valentines day / birthday for the Mrs.

I booked a hotel on lastminute.com.au In the search, they have a tab under some of the results "bonus" or "Special Offer" or something like that.

Look out for these hotels.

In Sydney, some bonuses were free parking, late check-out, Romance package, breakfast etc.

Anyway, I booked Friday Morning for a Friday evening check in.

Scored a 4.5 star hotel (well known chain) in the CBD, their 'bonus' was full buffet breakfast for 2 (priced at $35 each), "Romance Package"-Bottle of sparkling wine and choc-dipped strawberries on arrival as well as 2pm late check-out the following day.

For all this, I paid only $215 total (regular price is $4XX). After all the bonuses and extras I figured I got the room for under $100. (and price was for one night only)

I then joined their 'club' on check in and got free bottles of water and free internet lol.

So, I would hit the net a few days prior to the night and see how you go. Or, take a look tonight, and get familiar with the site and see what deals are available in the next few days (as an idea to see last minute availability / pricing). Many hotels seemed to regularly offer the same 'bonuses' week to week.

You may find a deal with breakfast and parking.

Good luck!
