Hi,

I just spotted Vic W on a TV ad endorsing Cooper 4WD tyres. Not in his mini though

I wonder how many free tyres he scored

Cheers

Got chased up the F3 between Wyong and Brooklyn this morning by a blue & silver clubman bearing victorian plates GBMINI.

Guy was too good to wave. Pity really, cause I was trying to show him potential radar traps when he went blasting through them.

Hey that was PomDownUnder ??? I didn't know he was in town. Will try and get in touch and see whats happening.

He is the radar traps isn't he???

Nice to see the old clubMAN getting out n about!

poki · Jul 9th, 2008, 06:37 AM

Yep, that was the car and yeah he did play stooge for me.

Pom Down Under · Jul 13th, 2008, 07:18 AM

I did wave, honest!
I thought that's why you were watching your speed on occasions.
I was looking for the camera's on the southbound where the speed limit reduces through the cutting (they are very visible on the northbound)
As for looking for the Old Bill being parked up, I never saw one patrol car during all my time between Melbourne and Newcastle and back again.
Didn't go too crazy over the speed limit but I did get the change to stretch the Clubman's legs every now and again. I loved the drive up to the Telstra Tower (black mountain hill??) in Canberra.
Slightly off topic but in doing 2600km's, I averaged 6.8l/100km at and average of 88.2kph.
Nearly up to 11000km's in three months!

Spotted at PITS today a BEP MCSC hidden amongst all the damn bikes there.

Whoops. I need to start paying attention to peoples cars and make sure they are not from here when I go putting my foot in my mouth

I thought you may have reckoned I was just dim (well, truth be told I am) because I wasn't keeping my speed very constant.

Nice work on the kms. Tis good to see someone else racking up the kms (will hit 140,000 tomorrow).

There are two fixed speed cameras northbound - one at Ourimbah and the other just up the hill from the Hawkesbury. There are none southbound though, which is why there are plenty of potential speed traps.

I was playing hookey and heading to PITS.

Pretty sure I spotted Quickbrick today near Coorparoo (in QLD). If it wasnt you then it was some other bumblebee Mini

Pom Down Under · Sep 1st, 2008, 12:43 PM

Saw a yellow & black Cooper Clubman on Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda on my way in to work this eventing.
Got a nod from the driver.

Would be interested to see what this looks like.

Hello all looooong time no see

07BPB · Oct 15th, 2008, 09:19 AM

That would indeed have been me. I work in Cooraproo so that would have been me in the thread above as well.

Not many people have a bright yellow MINI with Black Roof; Blackedout windows & 18" Simmons wheels that sits as low as mine, so you are porbably safe to wave if you see a car fitting that discription ... escpecially in Coorparoo
