U did a great job leading was having an absolute ball following you quickly in the red mini

always easier when someone is in front setting the pace and showing the way

Mini7,
That piece of road yesterday, is a fairly difficult road to drive. The roads are very narrow and you cannot see into the corner more than a car length. (Try leading and having a red mini catching quickly

)

The MINI driver training is great fun and its 1/2 day for $385. Its a bit expensive for everyone to do, but we all had a ball.

Cheers

Is there a preferred or standard jolly rodger/skull and cross bones image (jpeg/gif/bmp whatever) that is used for us Aussie pirates ?? I ask because I would like to incorprate the Pirates emblem into the video footage when i edit it up

so if anyone can email me the file that would be very cool

Cheers
Richard

Mini 7 · Jan 17th, 2005, 05:02 AM

It certainly is easier to follow and have the pace set for you.

I'll check out the mini driver training, sounds like just the ticket.

Although I found the road a bit tricky I never stopped smiling even if I did go a bit wide once or twice and having fun is what its all about. Considering that 4 weeks ago I was driving a Diesel powered Land Rover I reckon I can only improve

What sort of walkie talkie do you use - any model preferences, best places to buy, etc?

Thanks,

James

IMO the Uniden's are great. I have this one http://uniden.com.au/v3/FRAME_PROD.HTM it's $169, but if you have a look on the website these ones are great as well http://uniden.com.au/v3/FRAME_PROD.HTM for only $99. Definately check them out from D i c k Smith.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Excellent

sign me up for some of those stickers when you get them done to

ausyonline · Jan 17th, 2005, 05:16 AM

As long as it is UHF (I assume you guys are running UHF) any set should do the trick for you and **** Smith powerhouses usually have good prices on various hand helds

Was gonna talk to you about that later.

Mini 7 needs a Pirate sticker or two also

-blacky- · Jan 17th, 2005, 05:22 AM

If you look in my signature the little pirate symbol is the one we use for the stickers.

Todd! · Jan 17th, 2005, 06:40 AM

I need a sticker too... I had a few but one is on the cobra and the other was on my number plate surround which sits in a ditch somewhere on the hurstbridge/kinglake road

Maybe if everything goes well - I can pick up some more at Byron

Todd

-blacky- · Jan 17th, 2005, 07:37 AM

No dramas, i'll get my sticker man to make up some more before Byron at least, so I can hand them out next run.

StuJones · Jan 17th, 2005, 08:44 AM

Hmmmmmm, reading of the weekends adventures I'm really starting to miss my car and coming on runs

Hopefully my bad end to the year will mean a great year ahead

MickyD · Jan 17th, 2005, 08:56 AM

you guys seen this t-shirt at miniswag.com??

Todd! · Jan 17th, 2005, 09:17 AM

I have a feeling that one might just be added to Gadget's wardrobe

Harry Morant · Jan 17th, 2005, 11:12 AM

Sounds like you guys had a blast - well done!

poki · Jan 17th, 2005, 11:21 AM

I noticed something later too.... Harry Morant, GOGADGET, GO COOPS and robbo mcs - I accidentally dated your receipts 16 January 2004

Let me know if you need another for tax purposes and I will sort it.

Cheers,

poki

Hi Poki,

Thanks for taking on all the responsibility of collecting, organising and documenting the donations, you are a champion

To Poki and Gadget, thanks for organising the day

BTW I loved the photo of the "Pirates Treasure Chest"

Nice touch

Poki, I can live with the wrong date on my receipt

If I ever get audited by the tax office, I don't think they will be too concerned about it

Cheers

Robbo
