No, brisbanites can make thier own arrangments togther if they want to travel as groups. I have not set any times yet as a few of us are doing a "dry" run to test times so I can make it fair on everyone. We have heaps of time, don't worry, the week before the run I should have
1. Depart times
2. Speed camera locations( fixed in NSW)
3. detailed maps of the towns, and picnic area
4. full road directions. I have these now but will hand them out on the day instead. they are EXTREMELY detailed telling you every turn off and distances between.

Thanks everyone for your support I hope to make this great for everyone.

When you firm up a GC meeting time, us Brisbane ites might meet somewhere like Motorline 45 minutes earlier???

CooPz · Feb 19th, 2003, 11:28 PM

sounds like a plan, maybe you'll want to meet at the Maccas we met at the other time ( the one the turn off two back form motorline) so people can grab a bite if they want? just an idea as I won't be schedualing many other stops.

SERIOUS STEVE -"UMAH, Basil jasemini said CRAP!"

Jasemini - "Crap isn't a swear word"

SERIOUS STEVE - "is to you said CRAP you're in trouble"

Jasemini - "well if CRAP is a swearword then you just said it too, so I'm dobbing on you!"

childish banter finished

oh and by the way CRAP!

Well what a great run we had with the Mini Owner's Club of Queensland today. Four of us new MINI owners headed down to the Gold Coast Hinterland for a wine and BBQ run.

Everyone treated us well and I think many showed just as much interest in our MINIs as we did theirs.

I was lucky enough to be taken for a lap in a classic Cooper S while I let some of the classic drivers take my Cooper out for a spin.

I'd also really like to thank John Hasselwood (spelling?) for welcoming us along. MOC club members also said they were keen to have us back in joint runs with whatever shape of new club takes.

I can't wait to go on the next joint classic/new MINI run now.

See below some piccies Cjay took.

Two beauties!!

AussieMini · Feb 23rd, 2003, 10:27 AM

"You're only suppossed to blow the bloody doors off"
http://www.dailywav.com/0300/blowdoor.wav
So that's where I got the BLOODY from.

Cheers

jasemini, you're correct about the 'bloody' bit, Steve was just picking up on another thread where the Yanks have substituted bloody for damn for the forthcoming remake of The Italian Job.

But has anyone told you yet that 'supossed' is actually spelt 'supposed'?

Yep, I checked the tape. Jasemini was right, already confessed!!

AussieMini · Feb 23rd, 2003, 10:40 AM

And the scarey thing about Jasemini's spelling Eltel is he's in advertising!!!

I think his accounts are with companies from the bad suburbs where literacy is not that paramount.

Maybe you should get a Cooper S so she has something to hang on too.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

Some of the worst mangling of the English language comes from advertising copy, teachers and journalists. That's not to say that they're all bad, but our standards have slipped badly.

Quite often I write to the CEO of major products to alert them to crappy copy or incorrect grammar in their ads, and the knock-on effect of having such pathetic ad agencies representing them. At least two companies modified their print ads.

One of my biggest gripes is the continual misuse and confusion that surrounds the meaning and correct application of something as simple as its and it's.

However I do not understand how anyone can go through secondary school and still use 'would of' instead of 'would have'. Yet it appears on this site with ridiculous frequency by both British and USA posters. Just shows that their teachers, if I can use that word loosely, probably did not know any better. Sad, really.
