1.Jambos
2.xxup
3.Roxy8
4.OORX8

I'm okay for either date, but I prefer 19th 'cause it has been too long...

Guys,
Looks like I'm about to become a part-time bananabender as it appears both our kids will be studying at UQ for the next 3 or 4 years.
(Doesn't mean I could suport anything dressed in maroon.)
Good chance I could make it on Feb 19th, the beginning of Orientation Week.
Jack.

You would be more than welcome, I assume that you have had the rear wheel fixed since the last time we met.

Hi

I would be keen to come along as well. Both dates are fine with me.

Good luck with getting the weather right as February is typically the wettest month of the year.

Yeah well - Everytime we get together it rains!! It rained all the way down to the Nats - remember?? The only dry day was the actual Nats day and its no wonder all our times were slow as we have only every practiced in the wet!

Why don't we spend the cruise day driving around the somerset dam so that we can fill it with some nice rain water?? Then send the fuel bill to the QLD government..

I'd love to come but after several months of extreme expenditure on a new Home Theatre I'm not sure if I can swing it.

Also will have to check with wife whether cricket season is over (she plays..I don't).

Will get back to you shortly.

Would love to see you there kiwimeat... bit of a home theatre enthusiast myself. Would love to hear what you've been up to (read your blog already).

Schedule cleared, and assuming that the dealer on the Sunshine Coast doesn't condemn my car (has a few minor issues to look at on the Friday immediately prior) then I'm right to go.

hello everyone!

I'd like to pop along if I can.. Will try for the 19th if that's the go, but may struggle to get back from Melbourne that weekend (work and a motorshow, awesome), so the 26th would be grand if possible.

But alas I won't be coming in the black RX8, having released him just a month or so ago to the wild. If I make it to the drive in my euro box I'll explain my ills and seek forgiveness. The RX8 never let me down, fanged around with Hymee, Sco, SKC, Rx8 smooth and the gang and I miss it dearly.

Hope to see you all soon!

Look forward to seeing your "upgrade" Haddock.
