c u there

Thanks for the reminder Scott, I would have missed it again.
Might have to blow some cobwebs outta the 05

Out of town for this one.....

How good is Rocky, Weekly group model builds, a local Model Comp, Monthly muscle car cruises, 3 Major car shows and a Just Model car show as well. Now thats living!

Just remind me what the street lights spell out again Shoey?

Say no more

Hahaha, I just typed in "Rockhampton Hell Lights" in Google images and a photo of my 05 Commodore came up! the one I use for my avatar. What does this mean?

Heh heh heh.
I just googled it.
What's the story behind it. It can't be accidental.

There was a case in the UK years ago where juvenile offenders were made to plant daffodil bulbs as part of their punishment. When they flowered they neatly spelt out BOLLOCKS...

Also, a friend of mine tells me of a middle eastern airport he was involved in the construction of. A disgruntled surveyor made a "mistake" of a few minor but significant degrees when pegging out for the mosque. If they ever check they'll find it's actually aligned to Tel Aviv rather than Mecca...

Sweet Im back in town for this one....

agreed shoey... If this is Hell... I guess I'll continue to be naughty

I also see that the Rocky Motor Show is on in a few weeks.
Do they have a model car display at that?

they sure do ask Shoey for details

Roger that! Back in 1988 I went to the Rocky Motor show and found that they had a Model comp.
I was quick enough to race home and grab something to enter.
1 year later the organisers said it was getting to big to control so they pulled the pin.
Thats when I stepped in. with some help from Lord Vader we got the ball rolling again.
So here I am 21 years later still on with 2 model comps on the go. you think I would learn!
This one is gunna be Huge, so who's comin!

, I asked the boss and she just gave me THE LOOK. Didn't mention it again

Not sure of Qld but a lot of towns in NSW had their streetlights arranged to spell an abbreviated version of the name for pilots in WW2 for navigation purposes . There was an area you could park on the Liverpool range overlooking Murruurundi and it's lights spelt MDI (with a few extra's thrown in since the war) , was Rockhampton always known as Rockhampton or did part of it have another name ?

Yeah, used to be called "F*ck it's hot here", then they changed it to "Helltown" as to not upset people with swear words. But then that was a bit too offensive so they called it "Rockhampton", believe it or not

"Helltown" I have not stopped laughing, Now I am sure you only use your head to keep the rain out of your neck!

Not so funny when you remember we were born in the same town Shoey Anyway, you know my job here is to take the piss out of you

lol the story behind the infamous "hell" lights of rocky which has been shown on rove live years ago the original idea was for it to spell out "Hello" but it had the plug pulled, shame but i reckon that hells pizza franshise would have a feild trip with it lol
