Hey Boo,

I found you! Standing on the footpath out the front of IBM House (the big white building on the pacific highway in St Leonards that used to have Motorola signage on it) at about 1pm this afternoon, I looked into the northbound traffic and saw a BRG/W MINI with white S-spokes and though "wow, those white rims make it look so much nicer!" and then I noticed it was an S (I didn't see the front) and I then I saw the plates, and it all clicked! I started running down the footpath toward you, but given that you would have no idea what I looked like I wasn't about to run into the middle of the road screaming at you to get your attention

Gotta say, the car looked SUPERB mate, bloody Fantastic!

Enjoy...

Tim

Thanks Tim, i definitely made the right choice with the white 17's on the BRG... The stripes are on backorder so am still waiting for them..

Bummer, would have loved to have stopped for a chat... Do you work at St Leonards??

yep - I work right near where I saw you, in Christie St. I was actually going to the Westpac Branch to bank the money from the sale of my Audi the night before

Next time I'll take the risk and run out into the traffic to talk to you

Cheers...

Actually, we should drop by and grab a cup of coffee with you one day... Would be great to catch up.

sounds like a plan, except the parking officers around there are nazis!

Are you in Sydney much in the next few weeks? I thought you guys were driving all over the place in the coming months!

nhodge · Nov 13th, 2002, 07:02 AM

Personally, I am in Perth at the moment (fly back to Syd on red-eye: arr Thu am!)

Next week is chockers, but the following weeks are clearer.

I work in Chatswood -- we should arrange a MINI bus (ie: one of us picks up the others) and go off somewhere cool for a bite, long lunch etc. I am happy to be designated driver (no alcohol by Drs orders)

(ps: keep ringing Mrs nhodge and asking how the MCS is. Evidently, its missing me)

Boo · Nov 13th, 2002, 04:16 PM

Yeah, we leave tomorrow for Melbourne (Coast road

wooohooo) and will be back Monday week. Here for 3 days then off to Florida till the 11th Dec. So if you guys are interested, 23-25th Nov could be good for lunch

IML337 · Nov 14th, 2002, 06:57 AM

good idea guys - I'm always up for a long lunch, even if I don't have the time...

Boo - sounds like you're having fun. Those dates are clear at this stage I think. See how we go as it gets closer.

Also, I spotted two all black S's today - one in St Leonards with DIGBY plates, and another one stopped and purved on mine which was parked out the front of a cafe in Knox St, Double Bay tonight. I got up and looked but the windows were tinted and it was dark so I couldn't see in

It had QLD plates on it...
