Hey guys...

I came to see the Show and Shine on the Saturday morning, and there are some stunning cars in the club.

Even though I put up with one of the most horrible smells (Kerri will vouch for this), was a good display, and has given me some inspiration for my poor old ute.

Kenny

I discovered what the smell was (yeah, asked a local - thanks ASH )
I told Kenny it smelt like burnt toffee (burning sugar), anyway apparently it was coffee... that's where they do the coffee (ohhhhhh so sorry, I have forgotten some of what ASH told me now : )

I have to agree the club cars all looked magnificent as usual, well done to all..

I'm still buzzing from skid pan :eclipsee_

The Nestle Coffee Factory...
We don't usually get the smell all through town, but when there is a westerly wind, well, as you noticed on Saturday.

Ok the time has come lets get all the tapes / VCD / DVD together and have a viewing.

5c for any showing a little yellow Falcon actually traveling in a straight line

He He

If you can put a copy on VCD or DVD I would love to get a copy for me and my ego sorry that should be EGO and I, allowing for the most important entity to go first,

Tori could I get a copy of your pics PLEEEEEEASE The kids only took 600 photos and I don't think I stared in enough of them LOL

Anybody with Pics of the said yellow falcon can be e-mailed to chris@onspotpaint.com , thanks in advance.

How many pictures of one car can a person look at! I think I need to get him working more and remove his bed from the garage beside his baby.

Since it seems you don't have many pics of your baby Chris, here a few to keep you feeling warm inside!



Chris,define "straight". Do you mean forwards,sideways or backwards?
Mrs Coyote, you should know you can never have enough pics of your children! (the "SPECIAL" one's that is)

Thanks Col, you know how I feel about my special child, and it is so nice to see your prodegy looking so athletic and keeping such good company. Excellent pics by the way.

Now as for straight my definition would be traveling in one direction with all wheels traveling in that same direction, now i am certainly not suggesting that this practice should be adopted, far from it, it is a condition that none of my cars seem to suffer for extended periods of time.

and to correct my good wife I do not sleep in the garage with my car, it sleeps in the bedroom with me!

Does that mean that I am bigger than what I thought and yellow with purple stripes. I hope that is on a bad day.

Yes Chris, I wouldn't mind having a look at a dvd of you and I on the skid pan together. I'd truly like to see just how many times I DID have to stop or slow down for you to correct yourself and give me some room to move. I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but i'd reckon it was at least 7 times, any higher offers? Kathy x

Only 7, I will have to work on that score, I was working on Mal's principal of Win or Spin He He , and we all know that i don't have the skill to beat a woman (yes denise I know my place in this world :newangel: )

I must admit to have significently more trouble holding certain corners with adult passengers, than I did with less weight in the car, Mind you the passengers made it a whole lot more interesting in how it changed the dynamics of the car. I probably learn't more when I lost it than when I was just having fun.

What a wonderfull weekend, had a ball. To those who put in all the work organising it I salute you. Now just have to go round in circles the other way for a day or so to unwind and I'll be balanced again.
