nice to see a thread for QLDers...good work Gary.

I hadnt RSVPd for the hunt ...but even if I did, I wouldn't be able to make it anymore. A large screw decided to embed itself into my rear right tyre and it needs to come out

You have to think outside the square on runs like this.

Here are two photos with my navigator for the day, as we scrounged for celebrity autographs.

Well! Nobody said they had to be alive

You should watch what you say Sunnybanker, especially since you have just bought Roz a stylish new set of rims & tyres (of the non runflat variety) ... you might just jinx yourself and get that big screw yourself

I don't know about screws... but you could talk to Ken... I remember one time just after he got his MINI he was having so much fun working on his nuts that he actually stretched them

Unfortunately I had to pay the price for spending last week in Melbourne watching cars go quickly around a bendy track near St Kilda...as such I did a 12hour stint in the office wishing i was out in my MINI.

How did it go with the PT cruisers? Did they manage to keep up this time

...and Bec want's to know what we were hunting for...and who found it

Wow, Stretched Nuts...was that covered by Warranty, or does fiiddling with your Mini's nuts void it?

we ended up hunting for some dead geezer in Toowong cemetery( well he would be wouldn't he?) who didnt even exist in the first place.
Apparently the cemetery caretaker got so confused by people zooming around the place in Minis, asking about someone who had supposed to have karked it, but hadnt really, he is now on stress leave
Funny thing is, we actually found who it was supposed to be, and took a photo, didnt get any points for it, and ended up being runners up to monkey boy thanks to this
Work that lot out !

WE WERE ROBBED !!! bloody one point...not happy Jan
