Meeting Point: BP Servo at Goodna, just on the exit of Ipswich Motorway, Goodna.

Time: We will leave at 10:00am sharp. Start meeting at 9:30. Quick brief before we go.

Bring: UHF Radio. Lunch or Money for Lunch. Full tank of Juice. Don't whinge if you come home empty.



If any others want to travel in convoy to that rendezvous point, organise it amongst yourselves. Trip will be generally west/southwesterly.

BTW, sCANalysers will be on special: Free Shipping.

I'll have a short shifter on display as well.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Can someone put their hand up to do the PM thing, and also someong to ring SKC??

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

I'll do the PM'ing

 

How was the Pizza?

 

Alright once they got the fricken order right. I grab the pizza and about to head off and they run out the door. "We've given you the wrong pizza" ... so I swap what I have for the "correct" ones. Get it home.... Wrong fricken pizza's. Drive all the way back... and have to wait while they cook me the right ones.

PM'ing done.

 

That would be right. Only when I recommend it...

 

I've SMS'ed skc too!

 

Thanks guys... See you in the morning... The latest weather report (9:35pm) is:

Cloudy with rain at times. Cool, light to moderate N to NW winds.
Brisbane for Sunday ... MIN 10 MAX 18

I need help with this @#^$&* radio too...

Hymee - how long does it take you to get to the meeting point??

 

I hope you all lwashed your cars. It is just not the done thing to do to go on a cruise without washing it, even is the weather is inclement.

Sexup, I will leave my place at about 8:50am.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Great time. The stayers amongst us just stopped for a final catch up and refreshements at Macca's Goodna.

Nice drive today to Esk, Lake Perserverance and lunch at Crows Nest. Town was abuz with all the seven RX-8's, six of them with a Hymee Exhaust

Crows Nest back to Toowoomba was no problem, but a wrong turn and a urgent call for a toilet stop caused some geographical embarrasment. But we got back on track heading south of Toowoomba, before for heading north east again to Gatton. From there straight to here .

Piccies soon from whomever took em!

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Thanks 18jambo74 and Hymee for a great day..

I have about thirty pictures... Okay after a bit of RTFM - I have had some wins with Adobe Photoshop Elements...

There were 7 cars - 4 Reds, Two Blacks and one Titanium Grey..

It was a very wet day, but lots of fun...

Those who would like a PDF of the map that shows Hymee's navigation at its best - please PM me.. :D

 

Try 800x600 or 640x480 JPG. I use PSP to resample using the "smart resize" option. I (nearly) always "sharpen" as well.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

More pictures.. Identity of everyone and their cars has been protected by selected editing... The last photo was taken on the return trip.. Verrrrrryyyyyy wet.. :D

Got to see SCO's setup for the video etc.. Very impressive. Even the Finance Director was impressed.. The UHF radios are a must and a great source entertainment during the slow parts..

 

Last three..

 

Sorry I didn't make it.

Damaged my left hand (excessive blisters, hammer bruises :o ) whilst helping my brother clad his house yesterday. That and the rain made me roll over and have a lie in.

Looks like everyone had a good time despite the rain.

 

You missed a really good day Kiwimeat.. The wet weather really demonstrated the excellent road manners of this car.. The Finance Director drove on the way up and was super impressed with the car..

In some ways I think that the day was better for the rain, but it hurt so much that we cleaned the car on Saturday and it looks very dirty now - even for a Grey..

Maybe next time..

 

Captured using the latest GPS technology.. We can now reveal the secret of this special ritual... We were travelling from North to South.. The Hymster Maneuver requires at least six other cars to work well.. More cars the better... Add also one very desperate driver who really needs to find a suitable amenity... :D

My apologies for the low quality of the map (100k limit), but I think that you will get the picture (pardon the pun) :D

 

No yellow??

Nice day out even it is wet. Well done boys

 

Only 7!! Pfffttt!!! :p

Just kidding - nice job guys - particularly in light of what seems to be pretty crap weather. Sounds like you had as much fun as we did.

Some great photos. I love the job you did on editing out personal identities - looks like the Incredibles at a family picnic!! :D :D

 

Drat someone guessed our secret identites..

 

Why everyone is masked??

Sounds like there were some doggy deals going on that picnic ... :p j/k

 

doggy or dodgy Taka!! :p

Actually, don't answer that!! :D

 

Thanks all who made it yesterday, we had a great time even though the weather was against us.
Some pic's attached.

 

OMG, that weather looks crappy.

Glad you enjoyed yourselves despite it.

 

Great to meet some members I hadn't before, as well as catch up with old friends. I had a heap of fun at the tail end - it's the best view of all the cars in front and I get to enjoy the sound of the Hymee exhausts. Especially et381's little spurt towards the end was music to my ears.

Getting the chance to have a bit of laugh at those who washed their cars as they drove through some nice dirty puddles was worth the fine.

Looking forward to next time
