Thanks for the link...

I'll have them up by this evening...I understand now what has to be done...The originals are superb resolution so, Steve if you want them at the original res. I can drop them onto a CD for you...Should be good enough for enlargment to about A3...

Apologies for the delay guys...

Cheers

AussieMini · Dec 10th, 2002, 12:32 AM

Looking forward to seeing the pics and a shame I checked out the forum 24 hours too late... Otherwise I would have been there too.

Can't wait to meet fellow Mini owners from Brisvegas. Drop me a line on dannydonald@hotmail.com or contact me via mobile on 0416 175 062.

P.S. will take some digital shots of my (baby) Liquid Yellow Cooper tonight and upload them.

I have posted the firt pic in my gallery...Unfortunately I brought the wrong memory stick to work and it has only one photo on it...

Will do the rest this arvo...

Ps. The quality of the pic is dramatically less than the original due to file size constraints on the site...

Let me know if anyone wants the original res.

Cheers

Look up my gallery - 'ricci'

AussieMini · Dec 11th, 2002, 04:04 AM

Well I hope this works, this should be my Gallery up and running.

swamos · Dec 11th, 2002, 06:59 AM

I've tried to fix some of the colours. Here's one... Still pretty screwed, though

The troops in action. what is it with life?? There's always a Subaru spoiling the FUN

Spazz · Dec 11th, 2002, 07:34 AM

Excellent piccies Ric and Steve!

I must thank you again for your hospitality towards this outsider! It was great fun, a great day, and cant wait to extend the same welcome to any of you if make the trip down south!

Id post some fo my pics but I think they have all been pretty much covered before!

Cheers and thanks again!

ps. After 20 hours of non stop driving, we got home from Brissy in one go. And the little girl, not a complaint during the whole trip, even when Optimax or premium wasnt available.

CooPz · Dec 12th, 2002, 12:10 AM

Well I have put to rest my old nick and since CooPs was taken by someone I thought I'd take the next best thing. Thanks Swamos for going to all the effort to actually contact me I have been offline so long it was the best news to get an invite. and it was great to meet the rest of you, Now I am looking forward to the next cruise and without being too subtle I wouldn't mind following the same course someday with a more full tank of fuel, or less full as the girl at the gas station was kinda cute, what do you reckon guys?

CooPs is going in to get his bumper repaired next week, I ordered the clear lights and thanks to Ricci will be fitting them myself. Then... it's off to get a new header back exhaust and cold air induction system designed by Hinterland Performance Exhuasts, they export Scooby-roo exhausts to America and said at the latest conference over there that MINI was the buzz word so they want to have a product to sell soon and CooPs is the guiniee <sp?> pig.

Oh and for the record I put just over 1000K on the clock on that one day, driving from 7:30 till midnight non-stop except for our fuel and food stops. ( went out with the "hoons" at the broadwater carpark after I got back down.)

See you all again soon

James.

swamos · Dec 12th, 2002, 03:38 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you all, and no great bother sharing some of my favourite roads with you

I know this is kinda soon and all, but I am going to go for ANOTHER drive over Mt Glorious this Sunday (15th). Probably this time I'd be keen to go over the back of the mountain and then back into Bris via Fernvale. This should have you back in Brisvegas by early aftnoon, in time to get some jobs done.

Being food motivated and all, we could probably catch brunch at the same place as last week ???

Due to the festive season and all, I would propose meeting at Maccas at the gap again, but this time at 9am. Anyone keen??

Any other suggestions???

CooPz · Dec 12th, 2002, 06:49 PM

Sorry my dance card is full this weekend, Friday the thirteenth slasher night tonight and parties every other day.

However! I am officially retired ( temporarily) as of this afternoon. This is a dual bladed sword as I will loose my free work access to the net and only be able to check my email (loki_beagle@hotmail.com) sporadically. You all have my mobile so theres no excuse there.

So anyone bored for the next few months let me know and I'll come cruising. Weeeee

Oh yeah CooPs is feeling a little worse for wear, washing him today I was surprised to see blue under my white, thought I'd loose both layers to a stone chip. Will have a word with BMW. Since they only just redid the roof maybe theres some paint defect as I didn't think it should have flaked that way.

Again thanks for the fun and see you all before christmas I hope.

I will definatly be available and will see you all there (for the first time) at the Gap Maccas at 9am Sunday.

Boo,

The 9th of Feb is a Sunday, so how about we pencil in the Saturday the 8th, or will you be busy helping the groom?? If necessary, we might be able to make it a weekday, but at the very least I'm sure we'll catch up for a coffee

swamos · Dec 15th, 2002, 08:46 AM

Well,

Another good day was had by Snoopy, Ausmini, and myself. We headed up over Mt Glorious.....

swamos · Dec 15th, 2002, 08:47 AM

Enjoyed the views.... (Spazz, please note that this is what it looks like when there are no Victorians present)

swamos · Dec 15th, 2002, 08:48 AM

more views.....

swamos · Dec 15th, 2002, 08:49 AM

Horny views!! Note Ausmini's lovely LY/B Cooper

swamos · Dec 15th, 2002, 08:50 AM

We then continued on to the Wivenhoe lookout
