Oh yeah, one of the guys that I work with was just telling me about how he was photographed by a professional photographer on the Cotter loop last Sunday - OPH style. He said he almost fell off his bike when he first saw the guy set up with a tripod. Apparently he was set up on a section where he could photograph people coming from either direction.

Yikes.

maryc · Feb 11th, 2005, 08:13 AM

Lucky Mini's are such great cars.

I hope mine inspires a different style of bard

maryc · Feb 11th, 2005, 08:18 AM

Wasn't the big Ferrari day on last Sunday??

All the wannabe schumakers queued up for a spin out and back to the Cotter in the latest offerings from Marinello.

Bring your cheque book, orders taken, lunch at the Hyatt afterward..........

Maybe that was it. I imagine that while you might get some good shots if you stood out there all day, you'd also get pretty bored too (and hot at this time of year).

Your car wasn't being delivered today by any chance was it? I walked past Rolfe's window today on my way to pick up mine from getting the bonnet fixed and there was one there all wrapped up and waiting for someone to come and pick it up.

how do you get it in a reply?

I am sure I saw it somewhere but damned if I can remember..

Thank you, found it just as your message came in but hey, it gave you a laugh I hope.

On another issue, what fuel do you use?

Ha ha, that's always the way.

I think most people seem to be using 98 RON. I used to only put in 95 RON PULP in as I couldn't tell the difference between it and Optimax (and I didn't want to spoil my baby) but since they started selling BP ultimate in Canberra I have only been using it as it seems to be noticeably more responsive (not necessarily more power just a better feel) than PULP or Optimax. Having said that though it probably all comes out of the same refinery anyway

Hello all,

What the hey, why not

Narrabundah is a bit rough, do I need to bring along the Chubb lock?

Not tempted one bit by the in car system. I haven't seen one better than the Navman...dollar for dollar anyway!

I almost 'upgraded' to a Mazda 23 but the dealer said there was a six week wait. " I'm not waiting that long for a car" I said.. Yeah, I'd never do that!

( yes...that's his double century!)

We have friends who live there, but we don't.

Your Mini will never leave your sight.

It's probably happening as we speak.....the airliners have data link for their position reporting....I think passengers can get internet at their seats on some airlines...can't remember which ones though....It wouldn't be too fast I would imagine....

The cockipts I work in are steam driven and probably have mice on little wheels turning all the guages and dials......
