Kylie,

Unfortunately, Bris MINI Garage buyers don't get an invite

We get a double pass to the preview of "Amercan Dreamz" as a consolation

I have a spare seat or two, if you are interested. 6.30pm Wed 19 April @ Garden City

ohh bugger them!

sometimes makes me kinda glad that mine is only a cooper

went down the M1 today...i was a little bit over the limit i think, but a cop decided to chase a S2000 rather than me. He was in front of me though....maybe thats why...

ZapoMCS · Apr 15th, 2006, 07:56 AM

I bought a helmet for next weeks Saturday afternoon sprints

So who is going?

damiond · Apr 17th, 2006, 12:00 PM

Charles, Same thing happened to me last night on the M1.
In a friend's old panel-van (cause his surfboard won't fit in a MINI!) coming back from the gold coast, doing a little over the speed limit in the 100 zone, and a merc CLS passes us - we oogle a bit, and then try to break subtly as we notice the cop on the motorbike on the road shoulder up ahead. Flashing lights go on and he pulls out..... lucky for us he shoots straight after the CLS

ZapoMCS · Apr 17th, 2006, 12:28 PM

Cops are out in force today. After spending hours cleaning the car I decided to go for a drive to take a few pics of my handy work. At a set of lights a commadore pulls up and when the lights turn green this fella is off at a high rate of knots. I see its a red sv6 and I think I could have tried to keep up with it but thought the better of it. This car is going very fast through Ipswich and after a while see some flashing lights at a top of a hill. I thinks ha the cops have got him and contemplate winding down the window and giving him the HAHA. But when I get close I see the red dunnydoor is the cop car and he has pulled over another car. Phew lucky I didn't try to keep up with it.

On the way home from taking a few pics another cop car behind me does a u turn with his lights flashing.

I also get breathalysed on the way home and the cop says he has never seen the dash of a Mini before, I say its flash isn't it

daisygirl · Apr 17th, 2006, 01:16 PM

Just drove back from Wooli (coastal town near Grafton) and the NSW police were everywhere. I was really impressed with NSW roads with lots and lots of speed signs and lots of reminders ie "Do you know what speed you are doing now". There were lots of passing lanes and yet two young idiots killed themselves Friday morning overtaking on the single lanes and had a head on just before we went through. Queensland should look at the northern NSW roads as there were even signs stating how far to the next three rest areas and when you get to the rest area they were reallly nice with good chemical loos, kids playgrounds and small park to walk the dogs, etc.

Hope everyone else had a great Easter

swamos · Apr 18th, 2006, 09:22 AM

Is it worth mentioning to all those wanting to have a go at the track next weekend that I have a set of brand new 16" runflats on MINI 5 spoke wheels available

Save wrecking your 17's

You wouldn't have a set of brand new 16" NON-runflats on MINI 5 spoke wheels for me to borrow would you Steve

Damn... if I did I'd be out there with you

Will see you all at the pub though

I have also worked out it is on the bus route near me so the MINI can stay home for the night

ZapoMCS · Apr 18th, 2006, 11:45 AM

Why not put those 16's on your Mini and come for a run on the track Steve? The more Mini's the better

brett · Apr 18th, 2006, 01:11 PM

Steve those wheels and tyres must be nearly antique by now. How long have you tried selling your wheels for now

Granted he knew I was working at the bar being a nominee while most my mates got pi55ed as parrots,
