ahem! I brought my standard camera - not digital and even then forgot to take any! I believe some of the others had their heads screwed on that day though!

I took a few, normal camera though so will have to get them developed and scanned in this week.
Killian, I'll email them to you so that you can post them as I don't have any web space to put them on??

Yeah, I've a few taken at the Spawell - and a few of my car.
Killian, I'll send them to you.
P.S. You can go AROUND a sheep. Or have Ken's car at the front and scoop them out of the way.
P.P.S. Here's a suggestion, since Derek has a surplus of power over the rest of us; for the next event we'll bring a tow rope and attach it from Derek's car to the hearse?

On the assumption that we're going to be getting greater numbers at upcoming events we can use the hearse as a sweeper to ensure that the stragglers make it to each of the rendez-vous points! We used to do this when we went off roading to make sure no one ended up lost in Malaysias many rainforests!!
Comes across as a more professional approach and reassures the non petrol heads that we'll not all speed off and forget about them. Apparently there are some people out there that enjoy a leisurely trek? I suppose it would be remiss of us to exclude them?
P.S. As for attaching tow ropes......... having seen the breaking abilities of said vehicle up close & personal, you've got two hopes - and one of those is Bob!!

mr. plow..that name again is mr.plow....
not much point trying to plow a sheep out of the way when its walking faster than you're driving though!!
I reckon we should invest in one of those toy steering wheels for kids, stick it in the back of dereks car, and put certain 'drivers' in there to experience the whole driving over 30mph thing...

...yes they call virtual driving. Seemed to have experienced it myself recently.
Derek, Bob Hope has passed 100 - more than can be said for some!!!

Like little Maggie Simpson (the youngest of Mr. Plow's offspring) at the start of the cartoon.

Hey, why are all these plans centred around my beastie? Just promise me they're not confirmed on the Mondello day!! I'd be like driving Miss Daisy - only slower!

I have an idea (a rarity!) - instead of setting up a 1 car class (pushbike) just get a certain 'less quick' driver to act as pace / safety car!

Nicky would like that, I made the mistake of mentioning that we'd be needing new tyres afterwards........ she wasn't overly impressed! Definitely need to do something about the mix I'm running though 17x235x45 F1's on the front and 17x255x40 P6000's on the back!!
