Why do I see a 'late' night...or maybe a very early morning in your future????

Thanks...

I'm heading in the shed with some bourbon and hoping the cars will be dry by tomorrow

No, it was just final assembly & touch up. All done and packed.
I just hope that the wash on the chrome was dry enough not to stick to the bubble wrap...

Impressive, Zen...safe travels.

Thanks Tom. Paul is navigator so I expect he'll punch me in the head if I get unsafe.

Rob - MASKING TAPE & TEXTER

Pics please...

Show up next year Tezza for a Bacon and Egg roll with us mate.

Well another shows over and done, massive thanks to all those that made the effort to come along and join in the fun.

Out of the 11 shows we've done this was the most enjoyable one for me, everything ran well and I stayed calm all weekend, maybe I've finally got my med balance right.

Our numbers were down a bit but I haven't added up what we had but what did show up was great stuff, the quality was brilliant and it was great to see the regulars there but was even better to see some new faces winning awards and joining us.

Made a heap for CanAssist, around $42k now over 11 years!

Thanks to Brett, Paul, Fred and especially Letitia for running the event and thanks again to those that set up and packed up with us. Enjoyed our pub meals and breakfast at my place this morning with our "extended family".

Bring on next year guys, bigger, better and more fun again!!

I had bacon and egg roll for brekkie this morning to share in the spirit of the weekend. Glad to hear it went so well. Now for 2014...what is the theme kit???

The NNL kit for next year Tom is, the 25 Ford two in one kits.
We're allowing both kits and for the first time are allowing the following mods:
1. engine wiring
2. interior flocking
3. bare metal foiling

Already have a couple of those in the stash! Should be fun!

Big thanks to Rob and co for a top day! Great to catch up with everyone again. Always entertaining to hear about all the guys or grubs) you've "had words with" Rob! The Coits shall return next year!

Thanks for he hospitality on the weekend Rob, good to catch up with everyone again

I'm sure everybody who was at Tumut had a great time, I know I sure did.

Even got to ----- "Break the Bread and Drink from the Cup" on the way south with "me ol" jousting partner, another highlight was also being able to SHARE" ------ some real quality time with him over an evening meal or two.

However I did find it rather----- "Upsetting" ----- that he was still too------ "Bloody Lousy" -------to buy me a drink.

One thing I did notice ------ is that he made a concerted effort ----- to sit opposite me and try to, indulge in a somewhat irritating and trying conversation while drooling over his "Boiled Sausages" and gravy
As much as I hate to admit it, I found this experience to be rather entertaining and ---UPLIFTING !!!!!!!!!!!

However I definitely wont be --- retracting ------ any previous comments made, as I still find------ "the person in question" ------too "BE A BIT OF A WORRY"------- most of the time !!!!!!!!!!! .

--------"to be continued"---------

Also like to say a big thanks to everybody connected in putting on this annual event, it just gets better and better.

I second the above comments, it was another great weekend.
good to catch up with every one. there was one worrying incident in the corner of the pub that won't be mentioned on here, but those present know what went on......and won't want to relive it either. Rob, Brett and Teesh done another outstanding job.

Thanks for reminding me Dave.
With reference to the--------- "So Called" ---------incident in question I would go so far as to say ------- as well as being a----- "Worrying Incident" -----I thought it also appeared to be a ---- rather------ drawn out------ "INTIMATE INCIDENT"!!!!!!!

Thankfully the parties in question, were able to-------- "Come the their Senescence" and drag themselves apart to sheepishly rejoin the rest of us, who by this time were ------totally engrossed ---------in observing these two, continuing to "shamelessly flaunt themselves" in the corner for all to see!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, not only a great model event by all accounts, but also a "love in".......

Will have to try and make it next year.

But unfortunately you are not allowed to combine ALL the parts in the box & build an 8 wheeled groove machine.
I know because I asked...

I knew that already...because I asked if I could use all the parts on the Van this year and was told no. Where is the creativity in that??? Just think of what you could do with all those parts.

Well ! i finally got home today after my water pump went west , you know yass is a nice little place but really boring when you got no wheels ! I must say the people of yass are very friendly and helpful , except the young girl from target who told us there was no rediteller atm ! which we found down the main street !!! I yelled out my delemer and straight away had 4 cars ready to rescue us , and one semi trailer .
Yes this years event WAS very much relaxing , and enjoyable .
NOW ! Lucky everyone WAS looking at chris and me talking SERIOUS model talk in the corner as they missed the 4-5 people sitting on each others knees eating dinner at the other end of the table !!!!!!!!!!
Kevin may reject this but WE were able to get together and join forces and come up with the rhyss crosskill award winner . BUT as soon as we chose the winner we parted , there is a rumour that there's a photo of kev and me arm in arm skippin up the aisle ?
Thanks to teech , rob and brett for another great weekend , i put teech first as she does ALL THE PAPER work than keeps the show going . Any way i gotta have a bloody lay down as i've done enough walking in the last 24 hours to last me ages , i AM looking forward to next year as i'm a sucker for punishment .

Was thinking the same thing twin engine groove machine

Ah, so it was Yass. that explains it all.

I did hear a report about a ----serious security -----scare there earlier today.

Apparently it was reported than an unknown "BUM" had mysteriously appeared in the town ------- and taken up residence on the local "Park Bench".

However before the local authorities had time to ---- "jell"------ themselves into "action' ------ he had -------[much to their relief] disappeared as quickly as he had arrived.

And yes I'm proud to admit, that we were able to put our differences aside to come up with a winner for Rhys' Memorial trophy.

With regards to the reported photo of a certain pair------ "Tripping the light Fantastic" ----- around the hall, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" well all I can say about that is, it must have been a----- "MOMENT" where someone let their guard down. be assured it won't happen again.

Also with reference to what was going on at the other end of the table, well at least we were all sharing a totally enjoyable time.

We didn't have to "SNEAK" off into the corner to ?????

Actually I'm still trying to find the words to describe your shenanigans. !!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

I'd ask Fred because we all know Frank wont come.
