Have any of the Brisbane guys and gals been to this? It starts today (Thursday 4/11) and goes through to Saturday in King George Square, I was wondering if it was worth a peek?

Cheers

Went past it this morning.....going on later at about 1:30. There are 4 cars, 1 cool blue cabrio and 1 hot orange cabrio. It looks like a nice setup. I will take photos later on

Well, it wasn't me because I didn't play slot cars

It was too hot!!!

I'll probably be there again for a little while today too (It's not like I'm a tragic or anything, right??).

Was going to videotape the acrobats this arvo - storm got in the road and made the square too slippery. Might just get them tomorrow. Impressive sight - cross between the Italian Job and a Jackie Chan movie.

Don't worry if you don't get to it mate, I got it on tape at lunchtime.

I even have some video of soopercoopersS trying for a prize

Even better, edited video from multiple angles, or I might be able to try making my first selectable multi-camera view DVD.

All those attempts, and all I have to show for it is a plastic MINI pen: the consolation prize for uncoordinated MINI tragics

Went back today and got two shows for the price of one. There was a group of young back packers watching the MINI show. At the end, they through down the gauntlet, and the challenge was on. For about 20 minutes, it was trick for trick. MINI Oz was impressed, as they got additional exposure.

BTW Sooper, Hacky Sack may just not be your thing. I through $5 into the charity jar and came away with a model MINI and the Boxed fountain Pen Set (already have the iPOD in the MINI, so no use trying for their MP3 radio.) $5 - Now that's good value

Sydney had the motor show, so won't be getting the same high profile 3 day public release. Melbourne on the other hand, is getting the same deal Bris did - so I encourage you to go along and try the MINI slot cars and spend a few dollars for charity and maybe win a prize or 2.

Whens the Melbourne one on?

Model Mini and a Pen set for $5! ......I couldn't even get a Plastic Pen for $2!

Baker · Nov 7th, 2004, 01:19 AM

So how does that charity jar work? You put in an amount and they give you a "prize" depending on how much you put in?

I'm after the MP3 Radio (if by that you mean the head unit) for my car, even though I'm getting the ICELink :P, so what would you think I'd have to put for that?

swamos · Nov 7th, 2004, 03:58 AM

I have a 5 min video of it, and 10mb, 20mb, and 40mb versions. I'll try again to put the 10mb one up. All the other sizes time out. If anyone wants to host a larger file pm me

1 mb = everything is a smudge to quite good for the 40mb version

Shortly I'll put the 10mb version up.

swamos · Nov 7th, 2004, 04:21 AM

Here we are... 10mb version
