Yeah but I think he had a bit of a hand from the cockatoos - man they were loud this morning. I think I'll see if my brothers busy next weekend – a few loud bangs should encourage them to go and roust somewhere else.

Oh, and a photo of the tree stump sitting on the tennis court net is coming

(maybe tomorrow - Dad’s just gotta find it for me).

That was a funny story Andrew, don't suppose you have a video of it at take off ?

GOGADGET · Feb 6th, 2005, 09:10 PM

I thought I meet everyone on Saturdays run. Who were these guys ??
Or were they the guys that were following us in the 'Gemini'

AndrewH · Feb 6th, 2005, 09:59 PM

Bugger

First photo is the before shot. Me on the left, the rocket scientist (my brother) on the right
Second photo is the after shot with the stump sitting smack bang on the centre of the tennis court net - Mum and I are off to the side ****ing ourselves laughing and thanking god that he didn't put four holes down or it probably would have landed on the roof of the house and wondering how he managed to get his explosives licence.
Third shot is Barney the lab sniffing for critters in the crater where the stump used to be. He must be one of the few dogs that absolutely loves loud bangs.

So whose fault was it?

My brothers. But in his defence, he used exactly the same amount of explosive on the first stump as the second, he just divided it up into three holes instead of two. The first stump just popped a few feet out of the ground, the second one easily cleared the top of the tennis court fence - probably about 15 to 20 feet into the air and the distance between where it started and where it landed was probably about 30 feet.

Just so the feds don't start knocking on my door, he does have an explosives licence.

minigolf · Feb 7th, 2005, 02:35 AM

Did he get the next one in, or was it a double fault?

Sorry, you had me stumped with the earlier comment. Don't mind me, I was barking up the wrong tree..... stump. Not sure what the root cause of my slowness today is.

No probs Andrew, I still think you're ace.

Allen...thanks to you (inspiring me with your car) I have just returned from BMW Pennant Hills after ordering an aero kit - they are getting back to me tomorrow with final prices for fitting and colour coding...

Hi yall... First time online since Saturday. Had a great time and sorry I had to leave a touch early. I had an uneventful ride home up the freeway then into bed and up early to head to Sydney for the cricket. Got pretty sunburned sitting on the old hill (Bay 16) watching the fights, the beach balls and the babes...A couple of young girls bared their boobies for the crowd after about four hours of chants and pleading by young fellas nearby. The crowd didn't disappoint and at one stage a whole bay was singing a chant about Boris..Give me a 'B' give me an 'O' and so on. Boris by the way was a dildo that a young fella was throwing around! I've never seen a crowd chanting for a dildo before..Oh, they played cricket too.

Anyhow the cricket finished about half ten and then after drooping my son off back up the bl**dy freeway and into bed at 1.30am..to be back up at 6 for work. Now I'm home typing this...Too tired to sleep..

Hey Alan, I sorta know how you were feeling mate.

Had a great time meeting you guys but felt bad for Liam as I slowed him down a bit I think. It was great to see a MINI driven in anger ( a bit) and am looking forward to pushing mine through some corners. I really enjoyed seeing the variety of cars... Each one has something special about 'em which is what it's all about I guess. My Chilli red car will blend right in....with the blue, blue, blue silver, blue....well you know what I mean. ..and they say Chilli red/White is the common colour!!

The night out was great and I've been feeding next door's cat with coffee beans after Gary's info. I learned a lot of stuff including the fact that Andrew's family loves blowing stuff up...but hey who doesn't.

Sorry about the long post but I'm TIRED!

interesting tiaan... i was originally told Alto at Pennant Hills would eventually open a MINI Garage, but even after the recent extension they still haven't

do they just order MINI parts on request, or are they doing MINI servicing etc as well?
