Darryl did your daughter want them??? Welcome to them if you can arrange pickup this week for a couple of pairs from Wooloowin or St Lucia.

Could meet for a coffee after work one evening? Tell me where and when

Work that lot out !

Surely you should get at least one bonus point for being able to find a dead guy that doesn't exist.

Have you a lodged a formal appeal with the club president yet Darrell, it sounds like you have a case there

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

And what about The Artist. I thought we would have heard from Matt by now, especially considering he is one of the few who have a job that actually allows you to Surf M2 all day as a legitimate business research tool

Hahaha, if only it was that easy. hehehe. I've been selling MINI's left right and centre which is why you guys haven't heard from me. Just settling into the new job, so will be back on here more often now.

I won't be able to make it to the track part of the day, but am planning on being at the dinner that night. I might even try to drag Darren G along as well. I'd love to hear about all of the 'on-track episodes' from that day.

What about if Matt could find a customer who was tinkering on the edge of buying "Red Devil" or "Black Beauty". Surely a track-day in their prospective car would seal the deal - hence Matt gets to come and play on Saturday and we up our MINI count by 2

I might try and do a 'swapsie' for one of my RDO's to try and get there.

'Black Beauty' is gone....was sold two weeks ago.
'Red Devil' is currently sitting in my driveway awaiting me to drive it to work this morning. It needed to 'stretch it's legs' after sitting in the showroom for nearly 3 months.....they're stretched now!!!

I've got a guy on it, so it will probably be gone in the next week or so, fingers crossed. BUT, there's even better 'Spec. cars' on their way which will be out to play more often...keep an eye out.

I work at St Lucia until 6pm this week so happy to catch up after work. What about Southbank or West End. Maybe if anyone wants to do quick pizza at the usual spot at Slice at West End on Thursday night or will you be busy packing to go away for Easter??

I have an appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday night though so they are out.

Doesn't help unfortunately. I got the same photo of the head stone and photos of dead celebrities signing autographs (post 29), and even as President, I didn't get any points

I'm also sitting opposite a plaque that reads "MINI Excellence Award Winner 2005".

Good to see that QLD has the two top MINI dealerships in the country.

Ok....So which dealership bought their award?

Congratulations to both. The plaque actually looks really cool.

Just to clarify anyone who made an effort with the dead guy got points.

Signature only counted if they were alive and real but remember you did win the "shutterbug award" so quite complaining
