Because I won't be driving a VR4, does that mean I can't win prizes? I know it says in the text it doesn't have to be one to be involved.. But I want to be able to win prizes! waahh!

 

[Emu]

All good Tom... Non VR4s are allowed.

 

[king_panther]

All good Tom... Non VR4s are allowed.

Are you sure Wayne? You're flyer makes it quite clear you must be either driving a Silver Galant or a Blue Legnum

I don't think I can make this :sad:

 

[Tom]

Voted =]]]

 

[pu-11-me]

I can't confirm any dates just yet but i'll make sure I get some in by this weekend!

 

[trounced]

sounds cool but probably wont be able to make it :-(

mind you we now have a 57 seater bedford bus does that mean we can fill it with friends and see if we can win , seats are being removed now thou so probably wont work :-(

if you want some stuff for prizes from Dragonflydecals let us know, we might even be able to donate some stuff

 

[gorgath]

Whatever the date is, I am suitable.

Brad, My game, my rules.... hehehehe

In the fine print BEHIND those photos, it says clearly - Brad can bring the RVR, Bella can Bring her new car, Tom can bring a Non VR4, Dimi can bring the Camry (but he'll only accumulate points at half the rate of a VR4.)

No Brad, You must be there... I have added extra toilet stops just for you....

Doh...

57 Seater Bus.... Um... Yeah. Bring that full of friends... The extra eyes will assure you a top score.. And the extra people will definitely be needed to get it around the course....

I had planned to contact you re: possible prizes.

 

[trounced]

yeah let us know, maybe we can organise a few smaller items and maybe one larger depending on costs etc.

i was going to contact snickles but it sounds like he is out of action, i thought he may want to go half with covering costs on the sponser hoodie i was talking to him about.

might sms him and see what he thinks, or we can just put a large dragonflydecals.com.au accross the back and call it advertising lol :-P

Gee what a way to make me feel loved there Wayne :blush:, but with the way work is going I have no idea what's going on. Most weekends are being spent either driving TO somewhere or driving FROM somewhere. :cursing:
Plus my wife's new custom ordered Apple Macbook is arriving sometime soon & guess who gets the lovely job of setting it up & showing her how to use it? :thumbdown:

 

[Emu]

Did another run of the course yesterdqay from start to finish. Had to make a few changes due to someone painting over a skull and crossbones. But had a few replacement questions on hand to make up the difference. But all looks good.

Also, got two of the trophies sorted. Just working on 1st, 2nd and 3rd and prizes.

Looks like the first or second weekend of December is the go. Anymore takers out there? Would like at least 10 entries if possible.

 

[3M-TA3]

I am keen, just out of town ATM, will need to get back and check work and stuff to see which weekend is good. probably good for most - except last weekend of NOV. maybe first of DEC aswell, but need to check work as I said.

 

[pu-11-me]

I won't be able to come down to this at this stage

I'll keep an eye on it and if anything changes i'll be there!!!

 

[happymatch]

hey hey hey. i will donate something for the prizes. let me know if you need something

 

[VR-04-TT]

Finally got my computer back online!!

Any date late nov or early dec will be fine with me

3. No Wildlife is hurt. (read: fauna)
4. The Police aren’t called.

Where's the fun in that?
