A lot to do - what are you talking about Gary, it's almost finished - I just gotta put the motor in and put one of those round black rubber things in each corner, oh and put the windows and windscreen in, and maybe some wiring, doors, boot, paint etc. then I'll be finished Can't wait for my first trip to the Brothel in her

I'll definitely be at QR on Saturday though

If you want to make it original, I don't think you have to paint anything that isn't outward facing. That was why they rusted from the inside out... just like new MINI's

I appreciate your help in trying to bring this thread into disrepute too

DaisyG, Track time from about 1pm.

Take Warrego Hwy off Ipswich Motorway towards Warwick.

Do the big left-hand sweeper past Amberley Airforce base.

3,4,5 kays later turn right off the Warrego onto Champions Way and follow it all the way to the end.

If you are lucky you might even see Indi_Bozo looking on from the sidelines

BTW, anyone in Bris got an old coolant header tank that I can borrow to give to a fabricator to take measurements from?

I'm not going near that stupid warrego highway again -not after what happened last sunday afternoon!
As much fun as rally-driving through dirt tracks at night-time is, i'd prefer to do it on my terms, not to avoid sitting in a traffic jam on a highway for 3 hours.

actually, that part of the drive home wasn't so bad, it was driving along Mt Crosby rd at 40km/h behind someone in a ute who was so old/drunk/stoned/scared/stupid that they had to nearly come to a complete stop on the top of each hill - that was the part of the trip that made me irritable and angry

Dam BBQ & Cricket

Quote: Originally Posted by swamos

For all you who have not read your clubMINI emails (and for any SE Qld MINI owners that are not yet members) - the details for tommow's BBQ and backyard cricket match at Somerset Dam are as follows:

Meet at 10.00 for a 10.30am departure from Finsbury Park at the dead end end of Finsbury Street Newmarket.

Then up over Mt Glorius and down to The Spit picnic ground at Somerset Dam (arriving about midday).

It is a BYO everything affair - lunch, drinks, hats, sunscreen, etc. (Partners optional )

swamos is providing the cricket gear, so don't get him upset or he might take his bat and balls and go home

If you can't make the start of the drive and want to come out later, then head up Mt Glorius and all the way down the other side , turn right at the T intersection towards Somerset, turn right again at the next T intersection, again toward Somerset, and then about 4.5km later turn right into The Spit picnic ground - it couldn't be simpler. Then look for MINIs

For anyone heading from the Kilcoy end, it is about 25km from there and signed on the left. If you get to the township of Somerset, you have gone a few km to far.

Hope to see as many there as possible.

BTW, it might be an idea to put some drinking water in, just in case the water tanks at the dam are low.

One last thing - don't forget to put petrol in your MINI. The last fuel before the dam are the BP and Mobil at The Gap. On the way home, there is fuel available at Kilcoy, about 25 km further on.

Gee Swamos, were they a special set of stumps which you pulled out for when you were batting - it looks like you conveniently trimmed them down with the drop-saw before you left home
