Hi Fellow MINI pilots, a couple of clubMINI members are hooking up with some of the DTM POWER Guys (hotted up BMW club) tonight for a bit of a cruise around Brisbane probably with a bite to eat and a coffee thrown in somewhere too. If you're interested in coming along we're meeting at MacDonalds at Milton on Milton Rd between 7:00 & 7:30.

If it's your bag or you have nothing better to do come along and talk cars, drink coffee and drive around the city much more than is necessary.

Did you go? and how was it?

Sounded like good time would have gone, but it's a tad to far out of town.

God Dammit! Why didn't I check this board earlier tonight? DAM YOU UNI! :P

[gazah]

run was actually on friday night jugman, so no need to sulk too hard!

Well, it was rather sad due to the very short notice given by myself and Danny. It ended up being just CJ, Danny & myself having dinner at MacDonalds then driving to look at my new house in the dark and then having coffee and cake at Wilston Village followed by a quick cruise thorugh Harry's Diner at Newmarket. Which the later of our activities led to many comments from 16 year old girls "look it's the new MINI's, oh they're so cute" to which their bum fluff covered VL Commodore driving seventeen and a half year old boyfriends comments of "yeah, that tacho is fully sik" then we come to the very insecure "Classic Not Plastic" types which generally like our car at this venue given it's retro cues and heritage, but one rather stick like bogan with mullet that Billy Ray Cyrus would have been proud of said "how come fat c*#ts always drive these new MINI's" as he swilled his can of Jack Daniels leaning on the bonnet of his wannabe GT HO copy. I was going to say, (given the comment was directed at my portly proportions) "how come poor ugly bevan c*#ts like you always drive imitation GT HO Falcons and you'r sons or neighbours always drive VN Commodores tarted up to look like VR Clubsports?" Generally the crowd at this venue is skewed more toward the classic/muscle car, but they're all car enthusiasts just hanging out admiring each others cars and as I said the interest and appreciation shown to our car is usually excellent, especially given the general obsession with cubic inches, but this clown was an exception to the rule and my retort would have been forthcoming but his two mates who looked like Kings Cross tow truck drivers put me off and I just cruised by toward another group of 16 year old giggly girls. If anyone in Brisbane hasn't done the Harry's thing on a Friday night it's well worth a look even if you not a car nut, there's some specatacular old cars to check out if you can get through the bum fluff and drool from the young guys.

So I take you did not hassled by the police or put off the road with a defect notice?

More and more imports seem to ge going to Harry's than the older Classic cars, oh well some call it progress, but I think some of the classic car onwers do share some of your options about some type of people that go to Harry's.

Did you see if you were video tape by the police for later use/follow up

[jasemini]

No I didn't notice the police with their handycam anywhere as they normally are. There was a huge crowd though, it always amazes me how many people just sit on the footpath and watch the cars drive in and out. I made sure I had my fog lamps OFF whilst I was in the general area to MINImize attention drawn to my RED & WHITE MINI WITH LOUD EXHAUST FOLLOWED BY A BRIGHT YELLOW MINI with a knucklehead named Danny at the wheel who was very scared of getting bashed and having his doors kicked in by bevans . This from a man who lives at Wellington Point, ahh The Redlands....Logan City by the sea
