Anyhow, thanks for all the comments and to the Canberra mob coming out to greet the new baby! It was very much appreciated and how good did the car look. We are very happy with the car ...absolutely everything is as we had hoped. I love the interior ... too much red is not enough! the wheels are great too...(and they're new!) I'm just about to go for a quick blocky to check out the headlights...

Hey, Andrew I thought you were the salesman when I first saw you mate.. Liam, I thought you were the maintenance man but then realized you're a graphics man aren't ya? Mary, do you really go to work? ..and Kyle was in his sunday shorts as I recall. Oh, and thanks to Gary (Harry Morant) for dropping in also.. Who'd have thought that this would have happened when we first ordered the car.

..and no Todd, we can't believe that this little car in our shed is reallly ours. As we were driving it around Chris said it felt like a test drive and not really ours... Well here's to a long friendship with our new car and new friends of course!!

Here's a couple more pix.. .... AND thanks fluffy dice fairy Mary! Snuck that in didn't you!

Tux

I'm really glad you guys are happy! As if there was any doubt.

See you on Sunday, well, if I don't see you before.

mr magictux,

wakey wakey!!

have you finished the running in yet?'

See Liam's invite elsewhere. 6pm Telstra Tower carpark.

Is this correct mr minigolf?

YES! Bring a jacket too, it might be a bit fresh.

I'm not sure if Mick is back from doing his "blocky" late last night ... oh, just one more corner.

minigolf · May 12th, 2005, 12:04 AM

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I filled up Little Blue on the way home last night, nothing special about that except this is a comment on where we're going with fuel prices. Okay so the tank was getting low and it took 49.6 litres to fill ... at 118.9 for BPUltimate ... or a whopping
$59.00!!!

When I payed the guy at the servo was amazed that I could get $59 worth of fuel in the MINI.

He he he, well when all is said and done, I think I'd prefer to be the salesman than the mechanic

The big question is how does it compare to your first Mini?

Liam, this whole fuel thing is getting out of hand. Enjoy it while it lasts

I'm still stunned that you only paid 118.9 for Ultimate

Only trouble is I'd probably make a better fist of it as the salesman

, whereas Andrew could probably be a spanner without too much grief.

I suppose a spanner is better than being a tool

When my older brother used to go off to boarding school, I used to pull apart all his toys to see how they worked. Most of the time, he'd come back to find his toys no longer worked

About what we pay for Ultimate up here, 123.9 last time I filled up.

AndrewH · May 12th, 2005, 02:44 AM

Hey Mick and Chris, when are you getting your Tux plates put on? I noticed that the Mazda didn't have them on yesterday.

Magictux · May 12th, 2005, 02:54 AM

I went to the RTA this morning to change them over but the yellow plates aren't on the system yet. So I have to wait until Rolfe send them over to Queanbeyan RTA I guess. Maybe tomorrow..

Don't think we'll be there tonight... depends on when Chris finishes work really as they're busy with the upcoming V8 Supercars weekend.

Andrew... it's almost 29 years since I got my first mini....( I wish I didn't admit that!) .. but I can still remember the 'feeling'. Just like the two cars...similar feeling but very different!

Oh, and another thing is anyone organising times etc for sunday. I know Andrew is heading up early but what about the rest of you guys?

But I am sure that won't be a problem

I love the red interior, it looks so much better than I expected. Also those wheels look fantastic, now I am questioning why I went for the S-Spokes.... But that is the beauty of the MINI, so many different options make the car individual to the owner.

Happy motoring and I look forward to catching up with you for a drive soon!!!

thanks for that Ben. I want to see your car mate and check out that grill! I took a punt on the wheels really..and the dash too..and we're very happy. I don't mind the S-spokes though. It really is nice that all the cars are different...

sorry to hear you can't make it this weekend or to Wakefield but we'll catch up one day soon hopefully...

minigolf · May 12th, 2005, 03:29 AM

As for heading up to PITS on Sunday, we're supposed to be there by about 9am, so a meeting for the Canberrans at the Shell at Exhibition Park on Northbourne around 6am

should be right. We can then collect the Tuxes at a location of their choice about an hour later.

Oh yeah, when we actually get on the F3, make sure I lead so I can bring you UP THE HILL to PITS...

Sector 1, sector 1, sector 1!!!

Todd! · May 12th, 2005, 03:30 AM

I paid 1.10 or Ultimate on Tuesday

Yeah, good point. I still haven't managed to do this

Speaking of which, is Tiaan coming on Sunday?
